FIREPROOF COTTON.
A Highly Interesting Process
Discovered in Germany.

United States Consul Oliver S. D.
Hughes, Coburg, Germany, is informed
that German cotton manufacturers are
intending to make trial of discovery
whereby cotton and other similar
highly inflammable materials can be
rendered permanently fireprOof. With
the exception of explosives, there IS NO
article that flares up SO quickly as cot
ton when it comes into cOntactwitb q
light, especially in those particular
goods which are made of heavy yarns
and '"combed out" on both sides in
order to give the appearance of fan
mel.
rhe fireproo6ng process consists OF
''asbestinizing" the fabric, by which
means permanent immunity from burn
ing is assured, but the exact manner in
which it is achieved is not diyulged.
"Asbestjne fabrics" can be washed
again aad again aud yet retain their
non ignitable quality. From this it
will be seen that the process does not
consist in merely putting upon the
material a chemical that for the time
being renders it non-infammable, but
rather, as in the case of meecerizlng,
in changing the very character of the
material. "Asbestinized" cloths are
said to be perfectly hygienic, and can
be safely worn next to the Skln.'

HER HEART LAID BARE.
Remarkable Operation Performed
in New York City.

One of the rarest operations known
to surgery-the sewing up of a sever
ed ventricle of a human heart-has
been performed at Bellevue hospital
in New York.
The patient was Annie Kingsley,
who was stabbed by her husband, dur
ing a quarrel 90 the street. She was
thought to dying when the amubu-
lance reached the hospital. The blood
was pouring from long wound in the
left ventricle, which supplies the body
with blood, while the right pumps to
the lungs. The surgeons knew the
flow must be checked at once if the
woman was to be saved.
This operation was decided upon. 1t
was performed by two surgeons, with
Is more looking on.
The heart was laid bare and the sur
geors saw that the wound was very Sc
rious It would require six stitches.
During intervals between the beats OF
the heart Che needle was inserted six
times and the flow of blood was stop
ped.
The wound was carefully dressed
and the surgeons waited to see the re-
suit. The patient rallied rapidly and
the surgeons expressed the belief that
she will recover.

After being tried with legal form
and procedure for criminal assault and
murder, and giving the death penalty
in each case, Jim Wesley and Reddick
Barton, negroes, were taken from the
authorities and lynched in the public
square by an Infatuated mob at Hemp
stead, Texas few days ago.
The district judge asked the govern
or for troops to accompany the negroes
from the Jail at Houston, where
they were safe. At the request of a
large number of citizens of Hampstead
who signed written promise to aid
the authorities in preventing any mob
law, it is said, Judge Thompson count
ermanded his request, and the troops
did not accompany the negroes.
Burton was first tried. He pleaded
guilty to criminal assault and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged
63, Sunday, October Il. The iuries in

but while the second trial was going

and attempted to take him, having
learned that the sheriff had finally

and the trial proceeded, the state put

Both juries assessed the death pen

The officers of the court sat about
the room awaiting the coming of the
troops, when there was sudden move
ment on the part of several men in the
room, the sheriff was overpowered and
Wesley was taken possession of by the
mob and hurried away. Another por-
tion of the mob attacked the Jail, and
Burton was surrendered to them with
out struggle. The two prisoners
were hustled to the public square, and
there hung.
Neither of them had been sentenc-
ed, and Judge Thompson had positive

PAPER AND ITS ODD USES.

To remove paper pasted on any
thing, the easiest and best way IS to
cover it with a damp cloth and wait
until the paper is thoroughly moist
ened. 1t then comes off readily.
Suppose you had an article which
was printed on both sides, and you
desired to paste it in your scrapbook
You would paste it between two
sheets of stout paper, and, when near
w dry, draw these apart. You will
have half of the printed sheet on each,
and. 10y the use of moisture, you can
readily detach them.
If you want to pack BOTTLES, china

the following mixture: Twenty parts
