GRASS TW!NE COMPANY.

Some Interesting Facts Z Oncerning rhi.
New Industry.
One of the numerous new industries
for this city is the Grass Twine Com
pany which will soon commence oper-
ations. The following fir ON the Com
mercial and Financial World pub
lished in New York will be of interest
to our readers.
According TO an official announce
ment just to hand, the capital stock,
so far as issued (s13,0s3, ,O0O), of the
American Grass Twine Company, has
been admitted TO quotation OH the
NewYork Stock Exchange.
This is remarkably strong and we'll
equipped industrial organization, to
which reference has been made in
these columns on several occasions
during the last two years It is orga-
nized under the laws of Delaware with
a capital stock of $l5, ZOO, 900, il shares
of the par value of 500 each, full paid
and non assessabIe, and is engaged in
the manufacture of grass tWine matt
ign for floor covering, rugs, grass
tWine furniture, curled grass for bed
ding and packing, grass bottle covers,
grass twine for binding grain, harvest
ing machinery, malleable iron cast
ings. II was Incorporated in June,
1899, aud absorbed number
of concerns that had previously
been engaged in kindred lines of busi-
ness, and now has plants as follows:
st. Paul, Minn., Oshkosh, Wis, West
Superior, Wis, Brooklyn, N. Y. These
plants cover an aggregate OF 1913 acres
of land and include 4s buildings the
company also owns $4,000 acres of
lands within thirty miles Of the facto
ries, with full equipment of machines,
horses, presses ect., with hundreds Of
sheds and warehouses for the harvest
ing and handling of the grass. With
in radius of fifty miles of the facto-
ries the supply of grass is practically
Unlimited
The grass which constitutes the raw
material, SO to speak, which the COM
pany uses, was formerly to all intents
and purposes waste product OF the
prairies. This company converts it
into an endless variety of marketable,
attractive, popular and profitable
merchandise, for which there is an in
cessantly widening market. The COM
pany and its predecessors have Gre
ated a new and most interesting and
remunerative industry, and by virtue
of the fact that the company is the ex-
elusive owner, the world over, of all
the patents that can be used in this
industry, it occupies an exclusive field
of it's own. No products of this kind
or OF this material are manufactured
anywhere except by this company.
There is no doubt but the American
Grass Twine Company is destined to
play all important part in the future
industrial history of the country. 1t is
indeed one of the soundest and most
promising industrials of the day.

Funeral Representatives.

Busy men have no time for attending
ordinary funerals, therefore it is now
become the fad to send secretaries and
Office boys to pay the final tribute OF
respect to friendship. At a recent
quiet funeral in this city, says the New
York Press, a clerkly looking young
man was stopped at the door by the
servant who demanded his business

quies." was the reply. Friend of the

Car Service Report Shows ~nperiesr Far
In AdvLnce Of Duluth.
The report Of the Lake Superior Car
Service association has been compiled
for the month of November just past.
1t shows the number of cars handled
oy the different roads at the head of
the lakes to have been 80, ,341, the top
notch for the past two years rs shown
by the report of the association.
Grain handling took the greater
number of cars, 1874. This includes
flax, wheat rye and barley and the
other grains handled here. Coal and
coke shipments were immense being
4,0s2. This is in reality the feature
of the report on account of the great
increase in the shipments of coal and
coke over previous months. About
the usual number of carloads of wind
mills were shipped, 13.
The report is also interesting In
showing the comparison of cara ham
died in Superior and the cars handled
in Duluth. The following is a COM
parison:
Superior Duluth
Omaha 1885 1850
Northern Pacific. ..... ,220 1915
Eastern Minnesota. III 1854 6,463
South Shore. ....... .6l5 "
Thus all the roads except the North
ern Pacific did a mammoth business
OH this side of the bay compared to
what they did in Duluth.

ScIS~ors with Comb Alta nbed.

Heretofore 1t has been customary
for q barber when cutting hair to
first use q comb in bringing the hair
to an upright position. then grasping
the hair between the frst and second
fingers Of the left hand. disposing OF
the comb in one hard or the other.
and finally cutting of the tops OF the
hairs held In the fingers. In this
operation, obviously. considerable
time is lost in transferring the comb
from one hand to the other each time
the scissors are brought into action,
inasmuch as the comb ana
scissors are alternately used In
the process. The object Of a new
invention is to provide a pair OF scis-
sors with a comb attached to stand in
a position most convenient for use In
lifting the hair withr 1t being In the
way while the shears are cutting it.
Thus, there is no necessity for trans
ferring the two implements from one
hand to the other during the opera

HOW A KANSAS WOMAN SAVED A
BIRD.
Lawrence Journal.)


Mrs. j. G. Hope was the other day
sitting upstairs reading, directly under
the cage OF her canary, when she heard
ii scream in terror, and she spranE to
her feet almost as badly frightened as
the bird. for the mate to this pet mys-
teriously disappeared a short time ago,
To her horror she saw 4 big blacksnake
coiled around the cage with his head
thrust through the bars from the top.
She ierled the cage door open and
grabbed the snake by the neck and
pushed its head up through the bars.
where she took hold of it from the out
side with the other hand and unwound
its souirmng body. 1t coiled around
her wrist and arm. but she. holding its
neck with rice-lke grip, put its head
on the floor and her heel upon its head,
which she soon reduced to fragments.
She then peeled the body off of her
hand as she would a huSk of corn. and
stood there and trembled for 10 min
uteS before she realized that there was
Il dead snake in the house.
