Paper is proving very satisfactory material
for driving ropes At the English factories of
Wolyerhampton, the rope is made like that from
other materials, and contains three main
strands, each made up of a number of continu-
ous strips of twisted pulp paper. The material
is made waterproof by treatment with boiled
oil. The rope is fairly smooth and wonderfully
pliaut. and in recent tests for driving machinery
it has been only slightly polished under condi-
tions that have caused cotton rope to become
badly worn and frayed. Its actual tensile
strength is supposed to be considerably less
than that of manila rope.

The Notwithstanding composition OF Mr.. Y.
Hardy, an English inventor. consists of five
parts of disintegrated sandstone, six parts OF
potter's clay, and three parts of blue clay.
Some porous material, such as cotton or linen,
is added, with, in certain cases, little tar and
ammonia. The materials are made into paste,
which may be applied with trowel to steam
pipes or other objects whose heat is to be re-
tanned.

that the Empress will not allow it,
everything else would be arranged for
on the same scale of luxury.
The great Russian world is curious
" constituted. In Russia extremes
meet, and boundless luxury is to be
seen almost side by side with a depth
of poverty which is not common in
any other civilized country in the
world.
When a great Russian nobleman en-
tertains his Emperor or Empress to
quite an informal function, he thinks
nothing of sending to the Rivera for
several thousand dollars worth of
fresh flowers with which to decorate
the apartments through which the
sovereigns must pass; and before the
splendors of Russian court ball every
great function held in other capitals
pales into insignifcance.

Nicholas l, Gar of Russia, was tho
type of an absolute aristocrat The
succession of terrible wars which
Clouded his reign did not tend to
soften his disposition or to render
him less imperious. But, rough and
harsh as he was, Nicholas had meas-
ure of chivalry in his disposition.
He would not tolerate, under any
circumstances, an insult offered to a
woman.
As the Gear was driving through
the streets of st. Petersburg he caught
sight of an officer of bis household
in the act Of upsetting an old beggar
woman, whose hands were raised in q
pray er for aims.
The official was quite unmindiul of
the august witness of his act, and
was rather pleased when, a few hours
later, he was s1mmoned to the impe-
rial presence.
Nicholas soon undeceived him, and
in the presence of dozen courtiers
cut him TO the quick with his indig-
nant reproof.
"Enoughl" said Nicholas finally.

ridor all night, and every time you

Down in Negros General Smith has
for some months been engaged in the
guerilla kind of fighting, and he has
been able to crush it out. When
depreciation was committed near or
in a town on the island he promptly
imposed heavy fine on the place.
After doing this several times the cit
liens resolved themselves into a sort
of vigilance committee as a matter of
financial preservation, and the depre-
dations ceased with startling sudden
ness.
The Tagalos, however, are more
tenacious and vindictive in their
fighting than the Visayans of Negros,
and it will require the most stringent
measures and vigorous pursuit to put
them down. With Aguinaldo loose
in the islands the work will be harder
and more dangerous and much more
lasting.
A column of cavalry moving through
the Luzon country is an extremely
picturesque sight. Five or six hun
dred big American horses strung out
in columns of twos make very long
and imposing line, and when the troop
ers wear their rough-service uniforms,
as they do out here, the effect is such
as would be produced by a regiment
of mounted cowboys.

The young Empress of Russia,

Luncheon Scheme

Luncheon Scheme OF Four SchoolIna'am
Four young women teachers resid-
ing in Pittsfeld and employed in Que
of the outlying school buildings have
for the past winter been serving their
own dinners by novel plan at com
paratively small expense, and saving
carfare TO aud from their homes for
lunch.
The teacher in the lower grade on
the first floor closes her school at
Ills, and at once prepares vegetables
for the dinner, using a part of the
basement for a kitchen. These are
cooked in utensils for the purpose,
which are placed in the furnace that
aeats the building. The bill of fare
usually consists of potatoes, either
boiled in the kettle or baked in the
hot ashes, stewed tomatoes or other
vegetables, boiled eggs, broiled beef
steak or cooked fish, with chocolate or
coffee; canned fruits and desserts, as
also bread, are purchased At noon
the other teachers take a share of the
work in setting the table, one of those
in the infant classroom being utilized
for that purpose. The dinner over the
other two teachers clear away the
table, wash the dishes, and these are
returned to the receptacle provided
for them. This allows a full half hour
for a walk out of doors in pleasant
weather, social intercourse or dis
cussion of school work, besides allow
ing the ianitor to go home to his own
dinner. AT the end of the week the
expense is figured up. The average
expense is about thirty eight cents a
week for each teacher, or less than
eight cents a day, besides affording a
warm dinner for each and a good bill
of fare. Springfield Mass Republi-

pines: The organized insurrection is
practically at an end, and, therefore,
the troops have to deal only with
guerilla bands and outlaws. Yet in
the last forty days the American
forces here have lost more men, more
arms and more supplies in the So
called pacifed districts than during
any previous period of like length
since the insurrection began.
If this is what guerilla warfare
means, then we will need more troops
some Gay, for the new method Of
fighting is proving more effective than
any style that the insurgents have en-
ployed previously.
Almost every day brings a report of
some fresh ambuscade wherein small
forces of our troops are attacked by a
hundred or more Filipinos. Usually
one or more of onr men are killed,
and the rest are driven away by sheer
force of overwhelming numbers. Then
follows a punitive expedition, but
these sorties seldom find trace Of the
enemy.
invariably the insurgents know the
exact strength of the force they are
ambushing, for they usually lie in
wait for small groups of ten or fifteen
men, which they permit to approach
so close that their first volley kills or
wounds most of them, and leaves the
rest utterly demoralized.
Insurgents who live within our
lines, who are amigos in the daytime
and enemies at night, have been par
ticularly pernioious. y. 1t is now un-
safe, more than ever before, to move
in small numbers, even in the dis
tricts which are presumably paciaed
by the presence of strong garrisons.
The rank and file Of the people in
the towns are in full sympathy with
these marauding raids, for they never
render help by word or deed viii ch
