Profitable Dairying.

Usually 1t may be said that the most
profitable form Of farm is that branch
which requires the strictest attention,
intelligence and hard work. This is
because comparatively few are willing
to pay the price for the success, and
consequently the market is not over
stocked with the products. But there
are, of course, many in these difficult
branches of farming who do not make
hard work of them, nor do they make
a profitable success Of it.
There is no work on the farm that
should occupy the attention and in
telligence of the farmer more than
dairying, and, as a rhe. this pays bet
ter profits than most others. but only
In proportion to the price paid. Some.
times dairying is not profitable. sim.

Writing of the Lolos OF Chinese Turk

"The men wear loose blouse and wide
short trousers, made of blue cotton
cloth, over which stout plated felt
cloak is thrown, which reaches from
the neck to the knees, and is useful by
day in cold or wet weather and at
night forms an ample covering. AS

trousers. too. One peculiar feature is
the manner Of dressing the hair. In
stead of wearing a queue in the way
adopted by the Chinese, the Lolos al

The women folk wear short jacket

A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.
Dying Patient Kecovers Through the
Interposition of Humble German.
Chicago, Nov. Is.

Chicago, Nov Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. c., a very repu-
table and widelyknown physician living on
C street, was called to attend a very
complicated case OF rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found a man about
forty years of age lying in a prostrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and
elbows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
OF three or four persons. The weight OF
the clothing was SO painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the
members OF the family following him to
the door, weeping Almost Immediately
the grief stricken ones were addressed by
an humble German. lie had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth bottle OF st. Jacobs Oil The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli.
cation eased the patient very much; after a
few hours they used it again. and. wonder
of wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved the
patient. and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called few days
after be was indeed surprised.

New Paper Holds Water.

There are many so-called waterproof
papers. and several are prepared with
parafiin and linseed oil. None OF
them, however, holds water any length
of time. and not one of them Is totally
uninluenced by greasy matters. Such
a combination as supple. fat and wa
terproof papers with glossy surface
does not exist. The new process con-
sists in treating paper with boiling
hot mixture OF paraffin and linseed oil
and pressing between rolls. This pro-
cedure is carried out twice. The pa
per is then treated with shellac and
finally with powered tale. The paper
ia again rolled and pressed. which is
the finishing process. The varnishes
employed serve to make the paper i'm
pervious to fatty substances and pre-
vent the paper from having any un-
pleasant smell, says the Paper Trade
Journal. The tale is glaze-giving
substance, which at the same time
serves to give the paper a leathery
consistency and Is not easily torn, yet
does not crack.

HEROINE Or PHOTOGRAPHY.

The death last Tuesday morning at

Catherine Draper, the first woman who

forcibly to mind the fact that the art
Of photography has been developed

present perfection within the compass
Of a single lifetime.

was first announced. the famous scien-
tist. Dr. John w. Draper. then men,
ber of the faculty OF the University of
New York. was pursuing his researches
In the chemical phenomena of light
whose results are among his most val
liable contributions to science. Da-
queries announcement interested DR..
Draper greatly. and he at once made 1t
the subject Of special study. He was
the first person In the world to utilize
Daguerre's process In the portraiture
OF human beings. His sister was the
sitter for the first Photographic por-
trait from life, taken sixty-two years
ago, on the roof OF the old university
building, Theodore Winthrop's Chrysa-
lis college, II tradition Is trustworthy.

six minutes. during which Miss Draper
had to sit absolutely motionless in the

thickly covered with white metallic
powder, her services to science in

venience and discomfort to give her a
claim to be entitled the heroine OF pho
Biography. and to be held In honor by
the countless thousands to whom the
art of photography. with all Its cog
nate and related arts, is now a source
of pleasure, OF education, OF culture.

the other day on the amount of timber
consumed every year In the United
States for various purposes" said Mr..
James Oswcll OF Madison, Wisconsin.
"Over 4.OOO,OOO,OOO feet OF pine lum-
ber is used annually for matches, the
equivalent of the product OF 400 acres
OF virgin forest. On American rail-
roads, about 2O.OOO,OOO cross ties are
laid and 0O,OOO,O0O new ties for re-.
newals are required annually. The
amount of lumber used every year for
ties 10 equal to 3OOO.OOO.O0O feet Of
lumber. In this country there are now
standing nearly 7,JOOOOO telegraph
poles. The average life of telegraph
pole Is ten years, so that about 100000
are required every years for renewals.
These figures do not include telephone
poles or railway telegraph poles. The
amount OF timber consumed annually
for poles and ties Is equivalent to the
timber grown on 100000 acres OF vir-
gin forest.
For making shoe pegs every year the
amount of timber used IL equal TO the
second growth on $500 acres Of hnrd-
wood land. Lasts and boot trees re-
quire about 100000 cords OF wood. Al.
though the making of paper from wood
pulp is a comparatively new process,
the annual consumption of wood for
this purpose Is equal to over 100000.
600 board feet OF timber, for WHICH II
would be necessary, were the trees all
growing together, to cut about $4,000
acres Of forests. We nre now using In
America for the lumber and paper
trade about 4O.OOO.OOO. 600 feet of lum-
ber year. which Is equivalent to

In view Of the increasing popularity OF
these gems and their recent material
advance In price.
There are three varieties-orientAl,
Siamese and the spinel Tho nrst II
the most beautiful of all colored gems.
They are becoming more and more
rare and. weight for weight. are valued
ten to twenty fold the price Of dia-
monds. The best come from Ceylon.
India and China.
The Siamese rubies are very dark
red. the spinel is less richly colored.
The largest ruby known is one Of the
crown jewels OF Russia. The shah OF
Persia has a ruby Of LIS carats. Gus
tavus Adolphus Of Swedea had one Of
the size OF a small esq and Of perfect
water. which was presented to tho
czarina of Russia in 1877. 1871 France
had in Its crown Jewels eighty-one
oriental rubies.
Gems Of small inarinsic value are
just now commanding prices higher
than they would be valued at by ex-
perts. which Is always the case with
stones which become fashionable. and
1t Is a safe rule that those who buy
stones Of this class should exercise the
same care they would or should In pur-
chasing diamonds. The demand has
called out large number Of second
and third class rubies from their hid
Ing places. and In new mountings they
are masquerading as Jewels Of great
price.
The ruby is skillfully Initiated. says
the New York Times, and not a few
are worn which are only of the grade
Of paste diamonds without suspicion
on the part Of their owners that they
are not what they are assumed to be.
No bargains In desirable rubies are to
be had In the markets Of Europe or
America. Those worth buying for in
vestment are snapped up on sight by
the gem sharps. and the person who
purchases from them will In every in
