Anger Made Him IntcllIgible.

A middle aged man, evidently q
stranger in that part of the city, was
on Euclid car, bound east, and
wanted to know when Logan avenue
was reached.
"Lemme know when you get to
Logan avenue" he said to the con-
ductor.
"You jest listen when I call th'
Streets" replied the official.
"Well, I can't understand word
you say" said the anxious passenger.
The conductor sniftcd and went
back to the platform where he gave
vent to occasional howls that were
supposed TO be street names, but were
all Choctaw to the stranger. .
SCOT the yet?" he presently
yelled to the conductor.
That officials face darkeued and he
said something under his breath.
Then, with great distiuctness and
a strong sarcastic flavor, he roared:
"Logcn !"
The strangers face wreathed itself
in smiles.
"Say," he called as he came towards
the rear platform, "you can talk first
class English when you're mad, can't
ye? Keep yourself hot all tn time,
my boy, an get reputation"
And the passengers smiled. .-Cleye-

Uses Of Pulp.

It. almost as If The old saying, "cot-
ton is king" might be revised to apply
to woodpulp. Woodpulp has been used
as q substitute for iron, ivory and in
Vulnerable kinds Of animal and vege-
table fibre. AS q material for car
wheels the manufacturers have found
1t superior to any kind Of metal, being
about three times as durable as steel
and much more elastic. 1t has been
found available as q material for paw
ing bricks, drain tiling and conduits
for lecetric cables. For ivory, which
is becoming scarcer every day, cell
luloseS Is the best substitute that has
yet been found. When properly treat
ed 1t lis practically proof against heat
and moisture, hence it has been found
superior to timber as material for
telegraph poles and screws. Cannon,
too, and bicycles are made out Of
woodpulp in Germany and Chicago re-
spectiyely; while a Frenchman has
succeeded in producing thread
from the substance, which he declares
can be worked into all sorts Of fabrics.
A Vienna inventor declares that his
woodpulp leather is superior to ami
nal leather in Gneness and durability.
Among orber articles made of wood
pulp are boats, canoes, cuspidors,
pals, fower-pots, tables, chairs, bu-
reaus, barrels, wagons, horseshoes,
and imitation porcelain ware. The
manufacture of silk from woodpulp is
now an important industry in England

Porto Hican Town.

Aguadilla, maritime town, on the
western shore of Porto Rico, near its
northern point, was founded in 1775
and has a population Of Is, It's
deep and spacious harbor lies between
Cape San Francisco and Borinquen
Point. 1t abounds in excellent fish
and its fields produce all kinds of
crops, especially cane, copper, to-
bacco, corn, mani and cocoanuts, while
it's oranges, lines and citrons are much
esteemed. The fields afford fine
ranges for cattle and horses, and on
It's mountains is much of the best
timber. This town is adorned by o
lovely fountain. The waters form q
beautiful cascade and are conducted
through the streets. The town made
a brilliant defense against the English

against the Columbians. who, however,

Some years ago a very 'ludicrous eX-
pertinent was tried in far Western
camp with a view to extending the
range of mules military service. 1t
occurred to an inventive officer that
this long suffering animal might be
used as 4 sort Of automatic guncar-
riage in fighting the Indians.
So n mule was brought out and q
small mountain howitzer strapped up
On his back, the muzzle pointing tail
ward. Then he was led to the middle
of the parade ground, and in the pres
ence Of an interested circle Of officers
and men, the gun was pointed and the
fuse lighted. But the sputtering of the
powder aroused an i'll timed curiosity
in the mule. He twisted around his
head, but couldn't quite reach the fiz-
zing thing, whereupon he began to

slowly swept the horizon, successfully
covering every portion of the field and
al who assembled there.
Then there was panic, most un-
seeanly. Some of the spectators broke
and ran, some circled about in fran
tic effort to keep in line with the head
of the mule. some fell fiat on their
faces. At last, after blood curdling
interval Of suspense, the howitzer
went off-you might have fancied that
it roared out with laughter-and the
result was nothing more than the ov-
erthrow Of the inGuisitive beast and
the demolition of a chimney in the
barracks. 1t was certainty mulish
joke, but the experiment wasn't r..
peated.-New York Press.

Oriental Philosophy.

At recent Bombay school board
examination, one of the tasks was an
essay on boys, and this was one of
the compositions just as it was handed
in by girl Of twelve:
".rhe boy is not an animal, yet they
can be heard to considerable dis
tance. When boy hollers he opens
his big mouth like frogs, but girls
hold their tongues till thev Ire spoken
20, and then they a-s"er respectable,
and tel Just hor 1T was. A boy thinks
himself clever because he can wade
where it is dee2, but God made the
dry land for every living thing, and
rested on the seventh day. When the
boy grows up he is called husband and
then he stops wading and stays out
all night, but the grew-up girl is a
widow and keeps house. ''-Pittsburg

Why England Is Great.

The political greatness of England
has never lain in her navies nor the
force of her arms. 1t has lain in her
struggle for individual freedom. Not
Marlborough nor Grenville nor We'll
lington is its exponent. Let us say,
rather, Pym and Hampden, Maine and
Blackstone, Herbert Spencer and John
Bright The real problems of Eng
land have always been at home. The
pomp of Imperialism, the display of
naval power, the commercial control
Of India and China, all these are as
'the bread and circuses" by which the
Roman emperors kept the mob from
their thrones. They kept the people
busy and put off the day of final reck-
oning. "Gild the dome of the Inval-
ides' was Napoleon's cynical command
when he learned that the people of
Paris were becoming desperate. The
people of England seek for n higher
Justice, worthier freedom, and SO the
ruling minister crowns the good queen

MAKING PEARLS TO ORDER.
Mussel and Oyster Being Domesticated
and Taught the Jewelry Business.

MuSSel and oyster being hoIhesicateo
and Taught the Jewelry Business.
Diamonds, rubies, emeralds and
sapphires have all been produced in
the laboratory, and it is now the turn
of the pearl, says the New York Times.
THE chemist, however, is not himself
the maker of the new artificial pearls;
lie is only the collaboration. tits true
that false pearls are made from
mother -of-pearl, but their lustre is not
up to the mark. The Chinese have
long introduced grains of sand and
little knots of wire into the she'll of
the pearl oyster in order that the ami
NAL, to relieve itself from the irrita-
ton so caused, may coat the foreign
substance with pearl. If this matter
be inserted between the shell and the
mantle the oyster can eject it by con-
fractions of the body. TO prevent
this NJ. Boutan, a French experiment
ter, has trepanned the shell and intro
duced small bead of nacre, which
might, however, be true pearl of q
small size, through *, hole; and
fixed it by means of cement to the
shell. This bean was in course of
time covered with nacre by the oyster,
and fine large pearl was the result.
Dealers cannot distinguish it from'ant
Orient pearl. The question of making
pearls in this way was recently dis
cussed at meeting of the Acedanties.
des Sciences, Paris, and NJ. Berthelot,
the famous chemist, observed that
such pearl could only be considered
true pearl if it had at least a hundred;
layers of the pearl nacre, otherwise it
would only be foreign substance;
covered with nacre. Of course, ifsthe
foreign matter is pearl itself this
objection disappears, and we have the
means of producing pearls at will.
According to NJ. Lacaze Duthier, some
two years would be required fSs
haliotide to produce bigpearl. The
artificial pearl of the trade, fabricated
from nacre, could also be coated intheS
same way. Evidently the pearl mussel.
and oyster are about to be domestic
ated for the production of pearls, rs
the spider is for silk. Pearl divers
may become q legend of the past.
