4 Specially Prepared Paper, With
Layers OF AsPhnItum.
The Department OF State has received
from Victor f. Nelson. Consul to Bergen.
a communication in which he refers to
lining materials in Norway as fol-
lows:
There have been two recent inventions
in Scandinavia Of materials that are adapt
able for various. purposes, but more parti-
cularly for lining houses. The names Of
these materials are 'Savsreid Bygnings-
pap (Savareid building pasteboard) and
campo board The first a Norwegian in
vention. is made from q specially prepared
paper. which together with several layers
Of asphaltum is compressed into a solid
plate. thus forming a very serviceable and
fine material suitable for covering walls

is absolutely damp proof and does not con-
duct heat: therefore Ii will keep any room

cracks or folds OF any kind. It il odorless
and will not rot. and. although just as
strong as a wooden panel it will be found
TO be cheaper even than thin boards.
The other invention-'campO board

five layers The central one is composed
Of pieces of wood fitting close together and
lying in different directions. The adjoin-
ing layers are composed Of a very strong
cement. which is used To fasten the pie ,es

solid and inseparable board.
The two outer layers are composed of
strata OF very heavily compressed paper

WINS OF RACE HORSES.
The ThOrOughbreds Are as Full OF
Queer Notions ms the Most Err
ratio Human Being.

Talking about people being pecul-
lar" remarked an old trainer out at the
Bennings race track the other>day, IF
there is anything more peculiar than
race horses / haven't come across y.
Race horses, I mean thoroughbreds, o:
course, are as full of Whims as--well,
as woman, and you've got to humor
them lust the same as women. l re-
member one / traired some years ago
"a horse, | mean, of course. lie was
great one, and few of them could
show him the way in. Yet that fell
low couldn't be exercised in preparing
him for race unless the boy on him
was rugged out in the stables colors.
You couldn't fool him about it, either,
for he knew just as well whether the
boy was fully dressed as we did, and
if he wasn't you couldn't get the old
fellow on the track. But when the boy
put on the buds, why, the old horse
would go out and do all that was want
ed of him." says the Washington Star.
Then there was another that | had
that wouldn't associate with other
horses, and the consequence was that
we had to train him by himself Actu-
ally had to wait every time until every
ether horse was off the track. Then,
when he had the whole track to himself,
we had all we could do to get him oil
when we thought he had been given
enough. This same one we had to send
to the post by himself, and when we
got him there we had to keep him away
TO one side, off from the bunch. An
other one | had was just the opposite,
FOR he wouldn't go on the track, either
Cor exercise or for a race, unless he
was accompanied by another horse.
"Then there is the horse that runs
true rs long as he is in the lead, but
will stop and give up the fight the mo-
ment another one gets near him or
passes him. On the other hand, there
is the horse that tries all the harder
as long as he is behind. Then there is
the horse that will not try # the jockey
has a whip, while. there are others that
will not try unless they are given both
whip and spurs. But, as | said, they
are very peculiar, and have as many
whims. as mankind"

munerative. says the Chronicle. Her
husband was unfortunate, which ne

furniture was placed in a small house.
The clever wife had two rooms left un-

bic she intended TO use in her business.
When settled in her new small quarters
she sent letters to her friends and ac-
quain'auces Initiating her desire to
undertake. the washing Of their fancy
handterchiefs. laces of all kinds. silk
stockings, waistcoats and all dainty
articles that could not be intrustcd to
the usual laundress. In a very short
time She had more work than She could
undertake single-handcG, so She em-
ployed the services Of woman, whom
she allowed to wash the articles and do
any OF the rough work. while She de
voted her spare time to the careful iron
