Aluminium as I'aDer.

Experiments with aluminium as a
substitute for paper are now under way
III France. 1t is we'll known that the
paper used today in the manufacture OF
books is not durable.
1t is now possible to roll aluminium
into sheets four-thousandths Of an inch
in thickness. in which form it weighs
less than paper. By the adoption of
suitable machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner still and can be used
for book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize. is practically fire and
water proof, and is in~destructible by
the jaws Of worms.

FAKE ~"FENCES."
A Little Trick That Il Worked In
Baxter Street.

Baxter street.
There was a time and that not so
very long ago remarked an old time
puller in. when almost every other
store in Baxter street was a fence. or
pretended to be, in order 10 give custom.
ers the idea that they were getting good
bargains. The clerk who took a hesitat.
ing customer aside and whispered
fence was generally sure of a sale.
There are nc genuine fences in Baxter
street now. because clothing. shoes and
hats are so cheap. but some Of the stores
still pretend TO sell stolen goods.
when a customer in n of these
stores has looked everything over in the
shop and hasn't made a purchase. the
salesman tells him that he has a little
fence down stairs and urges upon him
the necessity Of keeping it quiet on &C
Of the police. OF curse the Gus
toner won't say a word. So down stairs
they 60 to the alleged fence, which gen.
orally proves to be a big trunk packed
with goods.
While showing the contents Of the
trunk the salesman keeps up "a running
yarn about the famous criminals who
brought the goods TO the store.
Finally. after showing a lot Of stuff
Of the same quality and pattern the
customer refused to buy up stairs. the
salesman gets him to try on something,
and as quality, workmanship and per.
feet fit always go with fence goods,
there is a sale made. This fake fence
answers sale purposes as we'll as the
genuine, concluded the puller in, land

A Fine phrahinH.

There are some classes of people, says
The Cornhili Magazine, who seem to
think that when they speak to a person
they must use certain peculiar phrases,
wholly strange to them under ordinary
circumstances. as, for instance, the ia.
reply OF the laborer to the minis.
ter's words Of praise concerning a fine
fat pig which he saw in his sty, grunting
with satisfaction and repletion, "Oh,
sir, if only we was all as fit TO die as

Lumpy drawn but ter for fish sauce is
an impossibility if the simplest care is
given to its preparation. An ounce of
butter should be melted in a clean
saucepan and into it is sprinkled from
an ounce to an ounce and a half of fine
sifted flour. This is stirred to form a
thick, smooth paste that will leave the
sides Of the pan clean. Add to it, when
this condition has been reached, half a
pint of boiling water, and let it boil
over the fire for ten minutes, stirring it
all the time to prevent Jumps. If, de-
spite all care, some Jumps have formed,
it can be poured through a sieve on it's
way to the hot sauce dish. Despite the
ease with which this unappetizing con-
dition of the sauce is obviated, many
housekeepers seem to accept the lumpy
sauce as trying but inevitable.

A year ago Pr otessor Todd was sent
to Japan in charge of an expedition
from Amherst College to observe the
total eclipse of the sun. Mrs. Todd ac-
companied the i'arty, full of scientific
zeal on her husbands, as well as her
own account, for she is herself no mean
astronomer
When the Mikado heard that she was
anxious to study the lives and habits OF
the strange aboriginal race that in
habits the almost untravelled island OF
Yezo he put a yacht at her service
which CALAMITY sailed away to the
Okhotsk Sea, landing the intrepid ex-
plorer on the shores of the island OF
Yezo, where it is likely no European
had ever been efore, and certainly no
European woman. The natives are
supposed to be fierce, degraded and I'M
approachable. Hrs. Todd went among
them, lived in their houses, saw their
daily lives and customs.

1.-THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.

T. A. SLOCUM, M. c., THE GREAT CHEMIST
AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEMI FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED. THREE BOTTLES
OF HIS NEWLY DISCOVERED
EDIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this ''new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake i'll sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late Address
T. A. Slocum M. c., 9S Pine street, New
York. and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and post office address, and
mention reading this article in The Mid
land Journal.

Wouldn't Sell Her Dress,

There is good story about the Prin-
ess of Devonshire's fancy dress ball
about which the smart world raved.
The princess was like many other dis
tinguished ladies, approached with re-
spectful inducements to sell the dress
she wore at the ball to the manager Of
theater.
! The reply was lovely. The princess
did not, she explained, feel inclined to
sell the dress for two reasons. First
of all, it would make a beautiful tea
gown, and then if she did sell the gown
she would not herself get the money.

Ovens Hot and Cold.

If cake browns Immediately on be-
ing put into the oven, the oven is too
hot. 1t can be cooled quickly by lift
ing lid from the top of the stove. A
piece of asbestos paper on the oven
shelf will protect the top of the cake,
but if the paper is laid over the cake it
is likely to make it fall
If anything is put into the oven to
bake at the same time cake is put in
the cake will certainly fall. The oven
door must be opened and shut gently
when one is watching a cakes pro-
gress.
The old-fashionel scheme of testing
cake by running broom straw into the
center is very good. If the straw comes
out clean the cake is done, but if any
dough adheres NOR baking is necessa-
ry.
When cake is done turn it out gen.
thy on the bottom Of the cake tin, re-
move the oiled parer and let the cake
cool, for never under any consideration
must it be touched or cut while warm.
