Oxford Bible Paper.

The paper making of Oxford Bibles Is specially important and interesting ! part of the work, says Chambers Jour- nal. At WOlvercOte, a mile or two out of Oxford, the university has a large mill for the supply of its own require ments. A good deal of the paper they turn out here is made of old ships sails, the material of which, after battling with storms in all quarters of the world, come here for the purpose of be- ing made into paper, printed in almost every language under heaven and bound up in volumes, to be again scat tered far and wide into all the utter most ends of the earth.
 This Wolvercote paper has much to do with the great reputation that Ox- ford has acquired in the production of Bibles and other devotional books. Twenty years ago and more the man. agement here hit on valuable inven- tion in paper making and ever since their India paper" has been the envy the kingdom. There are said to be only three persons living who know the se- cret of it's make, and, though the proc ess has never ben legally protected and all the world is free to initiate the extremely thin but thoroughly opaque and wonderfully strong and durable paper of the best Oxford Bibles, if they only know how, all the world his hith- erto quite failed to do so.
 It Is thin as tissue, but perfectly opaque and so strong that strip of ii three inches wide has proved to be capable of sustaining a quarter of a hundredweight. Over 160 works and editions are now printed on this paper. This special advantage has very largely helped Oxford to retain the leading po- sition which 1t originally gained by be- ing nearly the first, If not quite the first, printer of books in the kingdcn, and by tbe prestige of its name.

Farmers in America who are some
 times unable to make both ends meet would do well to study the methods and processes of Belgian farmers. Six mill. ion of people in Belgium live on a ter ritory about equal to the State of Mary land, and farm of two acres is enough to support man and his family and enable him to lay by something for a rainy day. An article in Colman's Rural World tells something of the methods of the Belgian farmer and gives an interesting insight into rural thrift and economy in the most dense ly settled country of Europe. Describ- ing the typical two-acre farm in Bel gium, the article says the thrifty Bel gian makes the most of every inch by heavy manuring and allowing no waste places. A patch of wheat or rye and barley, another of potatoes, etc, and other garden truck, even the slop- ing sides of the ditches for irrigation being utilized, and the general result Is that with thrift and economy the far mer provides about everything his fam Fly needs except a few groceries and clothes, while the surplus products more than supply his other wants and leave balance to his credit, which grows each year.

About Perfumes.


 The perfumes which are the most agreeable to the senses are not always the most helpful to the nerves, says the Philadelphia Times. Ambergris, for in. stance, is positively offensive to many, vet it is said to possess a wonderful power of clearing the brain and driv- Ing away those evil spirits known as the "blues." On the other hand, altar of roses, with the suggestion of glow ing suns and gorgeous eastern colors, predisposes one to tears. A faint odor of musk acts as a tonic, while civet brings drowsiness of soul, for which the best antidote Is the pungent odoI of sandalwood. The fragrance of cltroD is as soothing to nervous people as far off music.
 Many perfumes delightful in the open air become particularly disagreeable in a close room. A whole evening can be spoiled by the presence of tuberoses or lilies in reception room. Their strong fragrance has very bad effect. Magnolia blossoms, too, have delight full perfume In their native grove, but woe to her who sleeps through the night with a single blossom on her pill low. There are many fragrant flowers, such as carnations, clove pinks, sweet brier and apple blossoms, that are as beneficial as they are sweet scented.
 A vivid perfume is nearly always bracing, while a subtle one is generally enervating. One may become positive ly intoxicated by the odor of the peach, wild cherry and other blos- sons of the same class, because they contain suggestion of prussic acid.

If Diogenes were still on earth, hunt ing with his lantern for an honest man, Monrovia, Ind, would be the place for him to turn his steps toward. Clark Geare lives there, and if one recent act of his is an index of his nature, he is just the sort of man Diogenes was look ing for. Geare Is a veteran of the late war, and some time ago applied for a pension because of rheumatism, He got 1t, but recently returned his certifi- cate and $350 back pension to the de- partment at Washington, saying that his rheumatism had gradually improv- ed and finally left him completely, and that he was therefore not entitled to the pension.

The name of the river that is now on everybody's lips should be spelled 'Klondike," according to the rules of our Government Board of Geographic Names, which say that in foreign and aboriginal names 70 Is always soft and has nearly the sound of s, as in Cele- bes," and TX should always be used for the hard O." and that "Y Is always a consonant, as in yard and therefore should not be used for the vowel r. For about eight years the photographic rules adopted by the leading geographi- cal societies have agreed in rejecting the possessive case in many names. The rule adopted by our Board of Geo graphic Names is: ''The possessiye form should be avoided whenever 1t can he done without destroying the euphonv of the name or changing its descriptive application" So Cook Inlet" and "St Michael now appear in all our govern ment publications, though Cooks In let" and "St. Michaers" are still cur rent in many newspapers.

the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and became the managing editor of several journals. Abandoning that work MT. Walker went to Colorado and turned alfalfa farmer. He was a pioneer in the growing of this plant and his farm was the most noted in the country. At the same time he was engaged in a series of engineering operations which saved from the Platte River an area equal to 500 lots in the heart of the city of Denver. He sold out all his property in the West and with very large cap- ital realized from 1t went East and purchased the decadent Cosmopolitan Magazine. Under his management the Cosmopolitan has proved great fnan. cial success. Mir. Walker is reputed to be millionaire and able to carry his educational scheme into practice.

 John Brisben Walker, who purposes to found a university for working peo- pie, is one of the most versatile men in New York. He will begin the organi- zation of the new Institution in Sep tember, when Prof. Andrews leaves the presidency of Brown, from which he has resigned. MT. Walker has had a varied career. H passed some years in the military academy at West Point and left that school to accept position in the army of the Chinese empire. When he returned to America he be- came a manufactureri got into politics and was nominated for Congress. That was in 1870. In the panic of 1873 his fortune was swept away.

The indictment of six prominent Ken tuckians by the grand jury at Frank fort for "poker-playing for money" is regarded by the Chicago Times-Herald as another sign of the decline of poker. For better or worse, and without con- sidering the ethics of gambling, 1t Is ap- parent to any one who will think of 1t for a moment that poker is slowly but surely going out of fashion. Before the war everybody played 1t. The statesman of those days was as well known for his skill in opening jack pot and the savoir faire with which he staked all of his possessions on his abil' ity to guess whether his opponent had filled or merely bIuffed as for his fo- rensic eIoquence. After the war, the game kept its hold on popular favor to but a slightly diminished degree. But gradually it has lost its seductive pow. CTS for American mankind, until now hardly anybody plays it, While few years ago poker was played in every cluU, now 1t is forbidden by the rules of most. Then, every hotel saw a dozen or more games in progress. Now an order to the bell-boy to bring cards ana chips to the room is rare occur renee. Then, everybody played, now the same men find it difficult to recol- lect when they last opened a jack pot" The game, once ''gentleman's game" has lost its favor, and with faro and roulette has become a gamblers game, played seldom by any one but profes. sionals.

Carries Credentials

A remarkably old woman passed through Reading on a train bound for Girardville. She Is Mrs. Catherine Me Laughlin, of Waterbury, Conn, who is visiting her son, Justice of the Peace John Mclaughlin, of Girardville.
 Mrs. Mclaughlin is 109 years old. She reads without glasses and can walk mile without trouble. Some peo- pie are disposed to question her age, but the official papers she carries stop all doubt.
 She has certified copies with her of the church and other records to show that she was born in Ireland 1O9 years ago. She is tea drinker, avoids coffee and enjoys pipe smoking, moderately. She will remain in the coal regions about month and then intends to re. turn to Waterbury.-Boston Post.

Manitobans think that ae the United States now receives and has been re- ceiving the surplus populations of the old world the surplus of the United States will in turn overflow into Can ada, especially into Manitoba, where il is now much easier to obtain a farm than in the United States. A number of Canadian immigration societies have already been established in this coun- try and whether the Canadians are right or not in their supposltion they seem to think they are obtaining the overf1owing of the genuine ArIerican population, people who want to own their own homes, while their places are taken in America by the continued in- fux of foreign immigration. The Klon- dike, the Wawa and the Kootenay gold mines will also add to Canada's attract iveness and draw hardy and adventur- ous men, many of whom will, so the Manitobans think, remain and become citizens.

DEFENSE OF THE RED.HEAD.
Artist Tells Why He Fancies That
 Color boye Others

Color Above Others.
 We went to our favorite bench in the park, sitting so we could view the lake. l watched my artist friend who had asked me to take a quiet stroll with him.
 l tried to open conversation by re- marking:
 Come, now, let us play truth upon honor for One-half hour."
 Very well; what shall the topic be?'
 "Oh, anything from the Humphrey bills to the question, Why has red hair always been looked upon in all ages with aversion?'
 Red hair!" exclaimed he. There's no such thing. Don't let anyone con- vince you that there is such a thing as real red hair. What people call red hair is mixture of two or three shades of yellow and brown. Call it auburn or Titan"
 l saw that my friend was getting 8 far-away look and would soon become reminiscent. He continued:
 T never knew a red-haired girl to be stupid. She Is always interesting, quick of action, quick of speech, quick to resent, quick to forgive, and above all, sympathetic. She makes many bright speeches, and sometimes with the greatest naivette. For instance, knew charming young lady, golden haired belle, who boasts family crest over 300 years old, whose wit is equal ed only by her love of fun. She Is somewhat religiously inclined. To young gentleman who earnestly en- treated her to waltz the other evening, she returned with the startling mega tive: I'll be damned if I do.' Of course, she meant it as a statement, not as an asseveration.
 Red hair brings with it great sensi- b1lity. When the owner has blue eyes and brown brows and lashes she is of a sentimental turn of mind and always musical. Brown eyes and dark lashes are noted for their beauty, and often de- velOp great dramatic talent. Red hair always goes with strong emotions, and the red-haired girl laughs and cries at the theater, while her dark-haired sis ter loses half of life by being more dig nified and less appreciative. Yes," sighed my friend, meditatively. "She Is lovable darling when she likes you, but sharper than a two-edged sword when she doesn't"
 l looked at my artist friend in utter astonishment and wondered why my innocent remark had called for so much enthusiasm. However, I was rather pleased than otherwise, as my own han barely escaped the suspicious color.
 'FI see there is no room for argument here," 1 ventured to remark.
 Well, mo-" he laughingly replied, ''but I'll tell you something for your own consolation. When I was abroad last year I came across a red-haired club in Vienna and to prevent fraudu- lent admissions every candidate was obliged to wash his hair in hot water before the committed"
 Your apology is accepted" I re- marked.
 "Oh," said my artist friend, T am just freeing my mind."

Some idea of the value and of the fn- gold mines in the newly discovered Michipicoten district may be learned from the report of Mir. Archibald Blue, director of the bureau of mines, as given in the Canadian papers, Mir. Blue has organized the new mining dis trict, which has been placed under the direction of MT, D. Boyd. During the fifteen days MT. Blue was at the office there were registered between eighty and ninety claims, which had been reg ularly staked out by icense-holders and upon all of which discoveries of gold hsd been made, In all over POO licenses have been issued since the new regulations went into effect, then about a month, The new law allows miners to take out two licenses provided they are not under the same vein, and a number of miners have availed them selves of this privilege. As the system of mining enables miners to secure a claim at tI;fiing expense, MT. Blue re-
 ports it as very popular among pros pectors, Among the prospectors who have staked out claims are Lord Doug lass of Harvick and a company in which Col. Hisdale is interested. The director also reports that he heard of one vein from twenty to thirty feet wide which showed free gold in prom ising quantities, the samples of quartz shown him being literally covered on the face with the precious metal. Many of the prospectors had no experience at all, and many of them, according to Mir. Blue, never left their camp at Wawa. Most of those who did, how ever, were successful in locating

Arab chiefs are regarding the discov- cry of water by English engineers in the Nubian desert with great satisfac- ton. They believe 1t will revolutionize the country and cause villages to spring up in the heart of the desert, Three thousand men are employed in build ing the railroad which is being laid there, many of them being dervishes who were captured by the Anglo Bgyp- tan forces, and they will work with will for the money they receive.
