Whiting Paper Mill Burned,

The mill Of the Wisconsin River Pulp
and Paper company, two miles south of
Stevens Point, was destroyed by fire
Sunday morning, and the loss is estim-
ated at from $4,000 to 5000, 900, fully
covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered at 3:45 O clock
in the cone room, underneath the paper
machince, by the engineer, and evil
IDENTITY originated in hot box. The
flames made such rapid progress that
the employees were soon driven out of
the building, and the pumps were not
put in operation in time to save the
property. The mill contained the two
largest paper machines in the state, and
it had capacity Of forty tons Of paper
a day. The stripping house, grinding
room, engine house, boiler house and
water wheels were saved and the walls
and machine foundations are but slightly
damaged.
The mill was owned by stock COM
panv composed of George A. Whiting
and G. H. Babcock of Neenah, William
Whiting of Stevens Point, and R. C.
Russell of Oshkosh, the capital stock
being $3.50, 900. 1t was built in 1891, but
was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in
1895. The establishment employed 100
hands and was rushed with orders.
Preliminary arrangements have already
been made for rebuilding and the work
will commence at once, but it will be
fully six months before the structure
can be replaced for business.

EUROPE'S DAILY BREAD.
States and Spain May Mean to the
People of Many Countries.

The lesson of their dependence upon
the United States for bread has re-
Gently been impressed upon the peo-
pie of Europe. 1t is made the subject
of a letter to the department of state
by Consul General Du Bots at ST. Gall.
Until to-day" Mr.. Du Bots writes,
the natives little comprehended how
much they depended on America for
their daily bread, and the experience
Of the past 80 days has opened wide
their eyes TO the significant truth that
in America is located their reliable
and faithful source Of supplies. This
revelation is now teaching the masses
every morning. noon and night how
essential America is to the welfare and
happiness of Europe; for where and
when bread is high and wages low
there can be but little hope and COM
fort.
This does not depend so much upon
the amount Of breadstuffs America
sends regularly to Europe rs it does
upon the fact that nearly always, in
years Of great crop failures, the
United States has. usually held the bal
ance Of power so far IS breadstuff re-
sources were concerned, and in each
instance our position and supply have
determined the cost of the European
loaf of bread, which means the COM
fort and veal of the masses; for in
Europe, bread and potatoes furnish
about 90 per cent. of the nourishment
of the laboring class.
The people of Switzerland are great
bread eaters, but not much of their
bread is made from United States
flour. Seventy per cent. of the wheat
consumed in Switzerland comes from
Russia. Out of total of Z ,767. 043 hun
dred-weights imported into Switzer-
land last year, Russia sent 4,SO5, GAG
hundredweights and the United States
only $40 hundredweights. But,
Notwithstanding this fact, the chief
topic of conversation now is: What is
the supply of American wheat? What
will be the effect of the war on the
price of it? And, most important of
all, what will be the cost of loaf of
bread made out of it?
Within two days European wheat
rose from $40 to $5.SS centner Clio
pounds), and American wheat rose
from $5.o1 to $5.6S per centner. In a
very short time the common bread
(half white four), largely used by the
masses, rose from four cents to five
and half cents a pound When the
honest laborer gets 40 cents a day and
he finds his loaf of bread suddenly in
creased in price about 25 per cent, he
stops to think how it has happened;
and when he learns that it is because
Europe cannot get American wheat at
the usual price, he begins to realize
what an effective and important part
America is playing in his daily life,
las seen above, the amc

She Was Patriotic.

One Sunday, since the war began,
the bishop of one of the Catholic
churches of a certain city was adj
ministering confirmation to a class of
children. He had stepped to the pulpit
and was asking a few promiscuous
questions in catechism, several of the
children being called upon.
what happens, little girl, when you
are confrmed?" he asked one of the
class.
I'VE receive the Holy Ghost" was
the answer.
THAT is correct" said the bishop,
''we receive the Holy Ghost and be-
come soldiers of the church" Turn
ing to another little girl, one of the
smallest of the class, the bishop con-
tinued: "Now that we are confirmed
and made soldiers of the church, whom
do we have to fght?'
The little one hesitated a moment.
and then she came out with the an

THE Spaniards.' -Truth.

Reptiles and Music.

Tarantulas do not dance to the
sound of the violin, but let the people
they bite do the dancing; scorpions,
however, enjoy fddling, and lizards go
crazy for music of any kind. AS for
serpents, the boa constructor and py-
thon are senseless to melody, but the
cobra is fascinated by the flute and still
more by the fiddle. Polar bears enjoy
the violin: so do ostriches; wolves will
stop in the chase to listen to a cornet;
elephants are fond of the flute, espe-
cially the upper notes; tigers, while
approaching violin and flute, cannot
stand the harmOnium, while the must
cal seal shows no emotion on hearing
any instrument, not even the bass
drum.-Quarterly Review.

called Grain-O. 1t is delicious, appe-
tizing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like
the finest coffee but is free from all its
injurious properties. Grain-O aids di-

is not stimulant but health builder,
and children, as we'll as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs about
as much as coffee. 10 and 25c.
