and professionally for all purposes for
which we use lint bandages and cloths.
1t Is so tenacious as to be nearly untear-

and nearly diaphanous fabric, soft as the
most delicate silk Grape, in which fine gold

torn with difficulty. "
The same writer tells about the fine
varnish or lacquer which we see on the
beautiful japanese trays and bowls. 1t is
n natural varnish, the product of tree,
from which the sap is taken in the early
spring When it comes from the tree, it
is of the color and thickness of cream, but
it darkens when exposed to the air. Lac

A GOOD INDIAN.
Tie Hired Hearse Ia His Savage Day.
In Which to Take "A Ride

Jack Stillwell, so well known 10 Kansas
plainsmen, is now sober and well be-
haved citizen at the little town Of Anar.
darko in Oklahoma. Stillwel got his first
fame by passing through the Indian lines
surrounding the position Of Forsythe on
tho Aricaree in 1865 and getting TO Fort
Wallace for re.onforcements Later he
served through Clusters campaigns and
still later appeared as ono of the great
cards in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show
When Oklahoma was opened to settlers.
Stillwell located at FL Reno, where for n
term he WAS police judge. The lawlossness
In the territory took many of her citizens
mp 10 Wichita 10 the sessions of the federal
court. When Jack Stillwell went up, the
people Of wichita usually knew that he
was there. He, with some of his friends,
was In the habit of livening up the town
by various kinds of freakiSh sport
On one occasion he hired hcarsc and
they were going TO take drive over town
when the undertaken learned that there
was no funeral and vetoed the thing just
as Jack was crawling into the body of the
vehicle. Jack uied to argue that they
had paid for the use Of it and could ride in
it if they chose, but they had to give up
the ride.
One evening, after they had been in
town several days and were feeling tolera-
bly, good, Jack and some of his friends
were walking down the street when they
came 10 bright, newly painted barber 3
pole.
Jack sought out the proprietoc, found
what the pole cost and bought il on the
spot. Then the crowd hoistcd it on their
shoulders and went on down the street
They had not gone far before they met
up" with patrolman, who, thinking they
had, Of course, stolen the pole, arrested
the crowd and took them to the city bas-
tile There they put up small cash bond
and were released until morning. When
morning came, they appeared for trial,
and Jack explained that the pole was his
and he had paid for it, that he was going
to take it to Oklahoma, where the natives
had never seen barber's pole, and it
would be an object of curiosity ard wonder
Then he sent for the barber from whom
he had purchased the pole, and the result
was that they were all released.
Whereupon they shouldered their pole
and marched down the street ogain, 10 be
arrested by another policeman and brought
up before the Judge again AS soon as the
judge saw them he ordered the officer to
let them CO. They started out in another
direction, only to be arrested for the third
time. In the end the chief of police was
obliged to issue a general order stating
that the pole belonged TO Stillwell and he
should not be molested. At the same time
he intimated TO Jack that they had had
sport enough and it would be well for him
to take his pole and return to his native
wilds. Guthrie Leader.

A Tall Rat Story,

The London Field tells this story A rat
was caught alive on board British naval
vessel in trap, and the beast was thrown
from the trap into the water without be-
ing killed. A large gull that was follow
ing in the wake of the ship to pick up
scraps of food thrown overheard by the
steward stopped several times, endeavor-
ing to pick the rat up. Once the bird got
too close to the rats jaws and the beast
grabbed it by the neck After short fight
the rat succeeded in killing the bird.
When the gull was dead, the rat scram-
bled upon the birds body, and, hosting
one wing as sail and using the other as
a rudder, succeeded in steering for the
shore. Whether the rat reached shore or
not is the question, since the ship soon got
out Of sight of the skipper and its craft.

Pen Portrait of sardnu.

Edmond de Amicis, the Italian writer
visited Sardou in Paris and describes the
visit in his "Nuova Autologia OF the
old dramatist he says:
"He looked little like Napoleon, "A lit
tie like Voltaire and little like the smil.
ing portrait of a malicious actress which
had seen in "A shop window the previous
day. He wore "a large black velvet cap,
below which fell long, waving gray locks.
He had silk handkerchief round his neck
and was wrapped in wide, dark colored
jacket, which looked like demidressing
gown. My attention was riveted by his
strange face, without beard and colorless,
with n long nose and pointed chin and ir.
regular and strongly marked features,
lighted up by two keenly sparkling gray
eyes, full of thought, the glances of which
correspondent with the rapid motion of the
thin and flexible lips, and the acute yet
benevolent expression of the whole face,
sometimes illuminated by bright, slight
ly knocking smile, like that OF quite
young man. He did not look more than 10
years of age, and when he spoke he seemed
still younger.
