From potato buttons to wooden silk is
only a step. Remarkable to relate,
wood can be utilized for soft. flowing
gowns. Wood pulp silk has long been
a staple Industry in the St. Etienna
district Of France. BY certain secret
chemical processes the pulp is reduced
to a sirupy condition. It is then forced
into tubes full Of tiny holes. through
which it energies In the form Of fine
silklilze threads. These are speedily
dried by being passed through a hot
atmosphere and are forthwith wound
on bobbins. ready to be woven into silk.
The appearance Of this unique product
is said to be so natural that even exc
perts have mistaken it for the genuine
article. It Is. OF course, infinitely
cheaper.

ABOUT ROYAL TASTES.

Royal tastes are not usually artistic.
Queen Victoria is fond of good music,
but her taste in pictures and books is
said to be unworthy of a country SO
rich IN art and literature. The young
queen of Holland is a gifted artist and
loves fine paintings. always visiting the
galleries of every city she goes to. She
goes to concerts because she must as
sumo an interest in everything. but she
admits that listening to operas bores
her, and she is quoted as saying that
she would rather scrub than play the
plano.

RUSSIA FIGHTS CORK TRUST
Starts a Plant and Makes It's Own
COrks-Scheme Proves
a Success,

Russia has it's peculiar and effec-
tive way of dealing with corpora
tions existing in Russia which in
any way tread upon the toes of the
government or run up the price of
goods which the government must
have. An attempt was made by the
cork manufacturers of Russia to
form trust, the purpose of which
was to compel the government to
pay exorbitant prices for cork need
ed by the excise department, which
has charge of the alcohol monopoly,
and which has been experiencing
considerable trouble of late with the
manufacturers.
The outcome was the establish
ment by the government of cork
factory. Tests on a small scale and
under unfavorable circumstances
have proved that the government
can conduct the factory in salts
factory manner. Six billions are es-
timated as the number used by the
excise department.. For the present
the government will manufacture
only 2,ooO,OoO,ooo.
Deputy Consul General Hewdeck-
er, at St. Petersburg. says this is
the most opportune time for manu-
facturers in the United States to in
troduce improved machinery and
American experience and ingenuity
in Russia for the production of corks.

FOOD LARGELY ADULTERATED
The Municipal Inspectors in Paris
Report Many Violations
of Law.

The high prices of ordinary food
stuffs in Paris, owing to the octroi
duties, make the business of adultera-
ton profitable, if the lynx-eyed in
spectors employed by the municipal
laboratory can be lodged. These in
spectors, however, are very active.
During the last month 322 samples of
butter and cheese were seized in store
and analysed. Forty-seven were
found to be bad.
Bread, pastry, tea and coffee showed
little to complain of, but jam and
honey offered fine opportunities for
food fraud. Nine out of 90 kinds ANAL
yzed were bad. Sirups of different
kinds and lemonade were often adul-
terated
The quality of wine was very bad.
Out of 535 samples analysed, 400 were
pronounced only medium and Is were
denounced as distinctly bad. The
greater part of $50 samples of milk
analyzed were bad.

Ing Cut OF She Is Thrown ON
Her Own Resources.

AS long as Cuba and Porto Rico
were Spanish possessions the cult
vation of coffee in the peninsula of
Spain was forbidden. but under pres.
ent conditions the government inter-
poses no objection. The cultivation
of coffee for commercial purposes
is about to be undertaken for the
first time in the province of Malaga,
at the little village of Campanillas,
five miles from the capital.
Don Quirico Lopez, a rich wine
merchant of Malaga, will begin by
setting out from 10000 to $4,000 cof-
fee plants on his plantation there.
Cuba and Porto Rico formerly sup
piled Spain with nearly all her cof-
fee, paying the government a con-
sumption tax of $500 per 22o.46
pounds on all coffee entering the
peninsula. At present the import
duty on coffee is $22.4O per 100 kill
ograms from all countries. except
from the Spanish island of Fernando
Pc. and Spain's supply last year
came largely from Valparaiso and
other South American ports.

SUICIDES INCREASE IN FRANCE
Efforts to Account for the Prevalence
of Attempts at Self-De-
structfOn.

There has been an incredible and
unparalleled number of suicides in
Paris this season, and the local press
is attempting to account for what is
termed an epidemic by laying it at
the door of the general retrenchment
i'll all industries that is said to have
followed the exposition, and to the
fact that many provincials who found
plenty to do in Paris last summer
are now without means of employ
ment and are unable to return to
their homes. A recent number of
LIE Figaro contained the account of
no less than five suicides which had
been committed within "a hours, most
of them under particularly painful
circumstances.
Owing to the statistics recently
published from the archives of the
Palais de Justice and the prefecture
de police, the subject is deemed
worthy of immediate scientific inves-
tigation, as some say it is rapidly
approaching the proportions of ma
tional caalmity. According to these
statistics there were no less than
27,000 suicides registered throughout
France in the five years ended jan
uary 1, 1901. Strangling and hang
ing have accounted for no less than
1880; the revolver was used in
$500 cases; suffocation by the use
of charcoal was employed in 1000;
poison was used in 400 cases; 1000
persons threw themselves from fatal
heights, usually upper-story win
dows; drowning accounts for the
self-inficted death of 1850, while the
remainder is said to have obtained
death through various ingenious
means"
