Long-Lost Edward Blackwell
Seen in California.

j. +. lIunton, the granite dealer who
returned from the West a few days ago
said to-day in conversation with an
EVENING ENTERPRISE reporter that
while in San Francisco Jan. |. 1897. he
saw Edward Blackwell of Montpelier,
Who disappeared nearly two years ago.
!, Mr.. Iunton ,ayS that he was walking
the streets. which were thronged with
people, it being Il holiday, and when in
front Of the Cliff House he saw Black
well wheeling Il tandem along the
street and accompanied by a woman.
Mr.. llunton called Blackwell by name
and he replied. Since then he has not
been seen.
In speaking further about the natter
Mr.. lIunton said "There will be some
who will doubt my statement, but had
known Blackwell for rood many
years. We were both members of the
Mystic Shrine and We're brought in con-
tact with each other"
II viii be rcmcmberc that Edward
was a prominent citizen of
One day he told his wife
he was going to Boston. He attended

Paper Thirty Years Ago.

In looking back at what was writer
in regard to paper making not more
than 30 years ago popular authority,
treating of the discovery Of paper max,
ing from esparto, the source being
Spain, cited Spain as an unstable coun-
try The great business Of paper max
ing might be quite uIdone or made
helpless if it were to depend on Spain
for esparto. Next bamboo as crude
material was discussed and found i'm
practicable. Its bulk and the cost of
carriage would render bamboo for pa
per stock impossible. Bagasse, the
lbrous residue Of the sugar cane, was
deemed only Of relative value for it
gave only 40 per cent of fiber.
The writer, treating of cotton or linen
rags, said that these could be no longer
depended upon, and next considered the
proposed utilization of wood. He DEEM
ed this out of the question. Wood"
he said, contains but a small amount
of fiber and has little telling power"
Then the writer of the article told how
several mills in England and Scotland
which had tried to make paper from
such wood pulp had abandoned its man
ufacture. 1t was too expensive, costing
ERA to e25 the ton, and so the conclu-
sion arrived at was that wood pulp is
never likely to be used to any consider
able extent.

Obligation.
Next time you have pain anywhere

Next time you have PAIN anywnete
try Irrigation.
Obligation, according to Professor Ell
r1er Gates of Washington, is "the pow
er of the individual to oonfine his con
seriousness exclusively to the sensations
of any selected part Of the body and by
practice to send more blood to that part
and alter therein the Emphatic and
thermic functions.
This means that by concentrating
ones thought, say, on ones hand for
given time one could, by practice, send
more blood into it or withdraw unneces-
sary blood and also make it warmer or
colder.
This is a scientific mans attempt
to explain the mind cure. 1t is ingen-
ious. Perhaps it is true. Who knows
how much the concentration of the
thought upon the toothless gums has
had to do with the growth of new sets
Of teeth in old people? The next time
one of these cases is discovered let the
inquisitire scientist put these questions:
Glow long have you been thinking
about your jaws as tooth producers?
Have you not been hoping and perhaps
that you might get new
tooth or whole set?"
Perhaps we are on the eve of discov.
cries that will make the doctor and
dentist unnecessary. The twenty-frst
century man may acquire powers such
as the humble lizard now possesses He

Color In Electric Light.

The colors in the shop windows On
Broadway come out at night under the
influence of the electric light in a Won
derfully pure way. In the daytime it
is very rare that one ever gets a perfect
color, for the atmosphere softens and
merges all the colors Of objects, leaving
no one color perfectly intact, hut mix
ing with each suggestions of all the
Others. That is why in impressionistic
painting, like the work of Monet, for
instance, there is seldom a pure color.
He tries fer plein air, for atmosphere,
for the Standings which give background
and sunlight.
But by the electric light the back.
ground in the shops stops abruptly in
darkness. There seems to be no medium
IN which the colors are bathed. They
stand out hard, clear, pure, one beside
the other, in sharp contrast. The beauty
they have is the beauty of utter clear
ness, OF distinguished purity. They
have not the glamour of soft uncertainty
of outline, Of indefinite extension back
into space. Indeed the space element is
wiped out altogether, and upon a two
ilmensioned screen, as it were, is
thrown the electric light, bringing out
n poignant intensity the predominant
'olor of the objects. York Com.

What long apprenticeship the would
be huntsmen had to serve in bygone
days! Castor de Folk considered be-
ginning should be made when the child
had reached the age of Z, when it should
be placed in the kennels. King Charles
says that to become perfect huntsman
the young gentilhomme who is intended
for the post of veneur should be taken
at the age Of IL. He must be healthy
and we'll built, he must have good sense
and especially quick and prompt judg.
ment. One of the principal things re-
CURED is that he should be painstaking.
Alas, 100 years later we have D'Yau-
Vile telling US that a man needs two
years tuition to qualify as huntsman!
1t was not only the paid gentlemen of
the hunting establishments, however,
who became real connoisseurs, for their
royal masters took such personal inter-
est in everything connected with the
chase that most of them knew all their
hounds by name, and Oh the eve of a
days hunting would name each hound
that was to be taken out. They also
prlded themselves on being able to faire
re bols themselves-that is, go out with
their lymers in the morning and quest
for aud harbor the stag. Pail Mall

The Pulley Line Pole.

The tall clothes poles for pulley lines
used in the yards of tenements have
practically come into use within 20
years. There are enough OF them stand
ing in the city now to make a respecta-
BILE forest. They number thousands, and
their number is all the time increasing.
Not every tenement hangs out its
clothes on pulley line. Corner tene-
ments, for instance, occupy so much of
the lot on which they stand that there
isn't room to set poles, and they hang
on the roof. And sometimes in tone
ments in the middle of block drying
arrangements are on the roof. But in
the case of a great majority of tene-
ments the tall poles are used.
Some OF these tall clothes poles are
IS feet in length. They range from 30
feet up and cost from $40 to $25 each.
On account of their shut in situation
and from the further fact that they are
usually set close to fence they get
very little sunlight at the base, and so
are likely to be damp there and to rot.
Poles set in paved or cemented yards
last longer than poles set in dirt yards.
The ordinary life of these tall clothes
poles Is five to ten years. In new work
and Ill renewals the poles set in this
city amount to some thousands in
year.
The poles used are almost all of them
spruce, and nearly all of them come
from Nova Scotia. New York Sun.
