MAKE FLOORS OF PAPER.

German Invention Which Is an Inn.
provement on Hardwood.
The newest floor is Of paper, and ie
Of German importation. The paper Is
imported in a dusty, powdery form,
and is then mixed with a kind Of CO.
ment which gives substance to the i'm
palpable stuff and a plaster-like ap-
pearance. 1t is said that when the
floor is laid, the absence Of joints and
seams like those Of the hardwood floors
Is a distinct improvement, and with
out the inconvenience of catching dirt.
The paste Of which the floor is COM
posed Is laid on and then rolled out
with a heavy roller, specially adapted
for the purpose. something like the
street roller for asphale. The floor
when smooth, hard and dry is either
stained or painted to match or contrast
with the woodwork of the room, wal
nut, cherry, or mahogany stain giving
1t an appearance like the natural wood.
While there are many advantages to
this paper floor, one of expense not
being inconsiderable, a disadvantage to
the sensitive is its pliable feel to the
feet, for no matter how hard it Is roll
ed it has always an unnatural sensa-
ton to one who walks over it.-New
York Tribune.

The Discovery of a Crannop,

About a mile east of Dumbarton
Rock, in the Firth of Clyde, a DWELL
ing on piles, or crannog, has been dis
covered below h~igh-water mark, some
fifty yards from the low-water mark.
It is 1874 feet in circumference, the
outer circle of piles being of oakwood,
sharpened with stone axes. The trans
verse beams and floor are of oak,
willow, elder and branches of fir,
beech and hazel, with bracken (~ferns),
and chips. In the refuse heaps
outside of the crannog were found the
bones of stays, cows, sheep, signs of
fire, many fire stones, and a milestone
OF hone. Near by was a canoe
thirty-seven feet long by four feet
wide, followed from a single trunk of
oak. This crannog is the first yet
found in an estuary, and it evidently
dates from the Stone Age; therefore,
it seems earlier than others yet found
in the British Isles. -Public Opinion

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. p1NKuAm.1

ANS
A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently ~hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
1.-The blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
q weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. /
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid YOU"

pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

Embroidery Snk Rack.

A very pretty little hanging rack,
made Of silver wire in ornamental fill
gree shape, with little hooks of bent
wire, closely resembles a hatrack in
miniature. But this is not a doll ar
rangement for hats, only a dainty adj
junct to the embroidery table. On
each little hook hangs still another
silver wire arrangement, bent into a
four-leaved rosette and intended to
hold embroidery silks. The silks to
be used in any n special design may
be wound upon these silk holders and
hung On the rack conveniently near
the embroidery frame. This smooth
silver wire may not be as elaborate as
the heavily chased or all fligree silk
holders, but they are better for the
silk, do not fray them, and the pretty
little rack keeps them together and
free from the dirt about the table.

PLANTS IN THE kADReNEs,
A Man Who Owns a Farm Is rnde.
pendently Rich.


The queer things in the Ladrones
include a tree the fruit of which is Sc
obnoxious to the nostrils that a man
cannot keep his stomach" and smell
1t. But once past the nose it Is SC
delicious that he will eat until too full
to walk. This fruit ripens once a
month, and is plentiful.
A nut which can be eaten shell aud
all is another queer product. The
shell is brittle like a cracker, sweet
and good. The inside has a kernel
which can only be bitten when the
fruit is fresh.
Another fruit is so rare that it is
used as a coin.
A very queer mineral product is a
stone which changes color in the at
mosphere. Cold days it is black; hot
days it is brightred; when rain threat
ems it is pinkish, and in cloudy weather
it is blue. This stone lies on the high
ways, and the pedestrian can forecast
his own weather.
A greatyellow flower which opens
and closesJo the sun at noon is an
other novelty. This flower takes only
five minutesito open and shut, for one
minute it ishwide open, showing a
white centre with golden heart. It
opens directly up to the sun and closes
tight with dropping head. 1t varies
not n minute in the whole lifetime
OF the plant. On cloudy days it opens,
but its petals point downward, for the
stem does not rise on sunny days.
This flower acts as a clock to the ma
tives. The domestic animal of the
Ladrones is a small bird called a
Laughing donkey" 1t laughs like a
parrot, but has projections at the side
Of its head which give rise to the name.
Another household pet is the japan
csc poodle, which here is very small
and very curly haired. This dog
catches its own fish in the lagoons,
and eats fruit from guaye tree.
The man who owns a farm in the
Ladrones is a rich man, for he can
support life without labor. Bread
fruit trees grow wild, and with the
cocoanuts are the shade trees of the
islands. A grove of bread fruit trees
to a Ladrone islander is what a herd
of western cattle is to q ranchman.
Fruit grows all the year round, and
every quality of queer edible tropical
fruit is found there. Rice, corn, in
digo, castor oil, guavas and bread fruit
are exceedingly plentiful, while sugar
cane, cotton, tobacco and castor beans
grow without planting. They are nat
ural to the soil, and spring up in such
quantities as to be regarded as weeds.
A very valuable possession which
Uncle Sam will use is the palm grove,
which extends in a belt across all the
islands. This palm grove consists of
palm trees which rise side by side so
close together that you can hardly, ex-
cept for the slenderness of the trunks
of the trees, penetrate into the depths
of the palm forest. They grow vege-
table ivory, which in is as
good as the elephant tusk. This ivory
can be used in all cases that do not
call for great durability, and for orna-
ments it cannot be surpassed.

AUG. 20 HIS UNLUcKY DAY.
An English Collier Always Breaks q
Bone on That Date.

Bone on That Date.
One OF the most conservative Jour
nails in the world Is the London Ian
Get, the conductors Of which never
give currency to extraordinary stories
in connection with medicine and sur
gerry until after careful investigation
has been made. Under these ciroum-
stances a narrative contributed to a
recent issue OF the Lancet has unusual
interest, being SO wonderful that with
out assured eorroboration 1t would be
Set down as fiction pure and simple.
The story is contributed by a doctor
end Is as follows: "A man aged "A
years, short and we'll built, was first
attended by me on Aug. &c, 1890, for
a compoun1 fracture OF the left leg,
resulting from a portion of the roof
or top falling and striking him while
following his employment in Risch
collieries. The patient made an unln-
terrupted recovery and was able In
about six months to resume his work
underground. The patients previous
history, told by himself and CORRIDOR
ated by others, is very remarkable.
With the exception OF an attack Of ty-
phoid fever, which he had when eight
cen years of age, and two or three at
tacks OF quincy subsequently,, he had
not suffered bodily in any way. He
was always very temperate, and for
about eighteen years a total abstainer.
But his misfortunes in the mine were
many and are remarkable from the
fact that they all happened on the Goth
day OF August. Here is his record:
At the age Of 10 years he fractured his
right index finger. It happened on
Aug. 26. When 10 years old he frac-
tured his left leg below the knee
through falling from horseback. also
on Aug. 26. When IA years Of age he
fractured both bones Of the left fore
arm by stumbling, his arm striking the
edge OF a brick, Aug. rs. In another
year. on Aug. 26, when Is years Of age,
he had compound fracture of the left
aeg above the ankle by the foot being
caught under an iron rod and his body
falling forward. Next year, again on
the same date, Aug. rs, he had COM
pound fracture of both legs, the right
being so severely crushed that 1t had
to be amputated at the lower third OF
the thigh. This was caused by a horse
hitched to a tram of coal, which, run
ming wild underground, caught him in
a narrow passage, crushing both legs
severely. After this he did not work
on Aug. rs for twenty-eight years, and
little wonder, but in the year 1890 he
forgot his fateful day and went to work
with the result that he sustained the
compound fracture which I have men
toned in the beginning. After this
he has studiously avoided working On
Aug. 26, though eve missing work at
other times"
