Paper Bath Robes.

The latest use for paper, according
to German technical paper, is for the
production of bath robes. The mate
rial used for this purpose is somewhat
thick and resembles common blotting
paper. The bath robes made of this
material cling to the body Immediate
ly after being put on, and, as the pa
per takes up the moisture very eager
ly, the drying of the body takes place
rapidly. Furthermore, the paper is a
bad conductor of heat, and as such it
acts as protection against quick
changes of temperature, preventing the
wearer from catching cold. Slippers
and hoods are also made of the same
material.-The Paper Mill.

Commissioner Wight, who stood on the

he received the trophy from the hands of
Commissioner Wight, which his command
had nobly won.

Pride swelied the bosom of the citizens
Of Washington yesterday afternoon Is they
lined either side OF Pennsylvania Avenue
and reviewed the passing ranks Of the
local guardians OF the peace and the pro-
tectors Of property. The occasion was the
annual parade Of the Metropolitan Police
and the Washington Fire Departments,
and in all respects II surpassed former like
occasions.
The day was an ideal one for a parade.
The men were at their best. The arrange
ments were admirable and their execution
could not have been more perfect From
the formation at Eighteenth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue until the organiza-
tions in the line Of march disbanded at
the Peace Monument, there was not a hitch

A novel feature Of the parade, and one
which thrilled the thousands Of spectators
who were stationed On the line Of march
between Fifteenth and Seventeenth Streets
was the daring and terrific run OF engine
company No. 8 and truck B between the
points mentioned. The crowd fairly went
wild with enthusiasm and applause as the
magnificent fire horses came tearing past
the reviewing stand, and were seemingly
swallowed up In the crowd beyond. The
experimentation this feature Of the event
was regarded as such-had proven the
spectacular feature, and there is no doubt
but that Il viii have 70 be repeated IN
