SUBSTITUTE FOR LEATHER.
New Material Composed of Vege-
table or Wool Fiber Saturated
with CeIIulOse.

Vegetarians and humanitarians will
be glad to learn that satisfactory sub
| stitute for leather has at last been dis
covered, reports the Herald of Health.
This new material is a composite
substance named "wolft," composed of
vegetable or wool fiber saturated with
a durable flexible modification of Gel
lulose, the impregnating solution being
entirely derived from the vegetable
kingdom.
| Wolff has already been utilized for
boots and shoes, trunks and bags, tires,
saddles, machine betting, insulated
wire, film for medical purposes, and in
connection with various other indus
tries. Even the new motor-car indus
| try is making use of this latest substi-
tute for leather and india rubber.
The impregnating material named
''velvril," in solution can be utilized as
varnish, and in this form is practically
| imperishable as it does not, like all var
nishes containing linseed oil, deterior-
ate with exposure to the atmosphere.
1t forms an improved medium for mix
| ing paint, and is valuable for enamel
| ing leather, leather cloth and various
other substances.
Apart from the intrinsic general adj
vantages of ''wolft" ever leather, from
the humanitarian standpoint, this ma
terial should be specially welcome.
Hitherto, the more or less compulsory
use of leather for the various neces-
sary purposes to which it is applied,
constitutes, of course, an inconsistent
CIV in the practice of humanitarianism
But now, without that destruction of
life which the use of leather entails.
the humanitarian may still have his
| trunk, his motor car, etc., and be even
more comfortably shod than in the
wearing of ordinary leather footgear.

n of physicians prescribe Peruna in
their regular practice. 1t has
proven it's merits so thoroughly that
even the doctors have overcome their
prejudice against SO called patent medi-
cines and recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in
medical sciencs. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession today. Catarrh, as
every one will admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which aff1ict mankind.

Catarrh may invade any organ of the
body; may destroy any function of the

head, nose and throat, but thousands
upon thousands of cases of catarrh of
the lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder
and other pelvic organs have been cured

Trouble Brewing for Abel.

The man who runs the elevator at a
terminal railway station was accosted
in dull time of day, not long ago, by
a tall countrywoman with an expression
on her face compounded of fright and
determination.
Gould l ride up high as you go"
she asked, in husky tone.
Sure, RESTRAINT top floor" said the
elevator man, and after facilitating her
entrance with a judicous shove he
slammed the door and started his car.
AT the top floor he flung open the door
and attempted to assist his passenger
out.
She waved off his hand, however, and
shook her head with great decision.
Il thought I'd need something to eat
after it," she said briskly, but 'tlsn't

The Bureau of Forestry.

1t is interesting to note the evolution
of what was formerly the Division, but
now the Bureau OF Forestry. The work
has enlarged its scope Immensely Ill
tho last few years, until now it en-
braces much wider area OF interests
than one would suppose belonged to
the noble science OF forestry.
Besides the work expected to come
from it as a matter OF course, such
as the conserving OF national parks
aud government timber lands. there are
a host OF other specialized branches OF
this interesting profession. 1t i'll
c!udcs the chemical Investigation OF
tanning extracts from native woods
and banks; the production OF turpentine
by "orcharding,' new system which
bids fair to revolutionizc the whole in
dustry pertaining to that household
remedy; then there are the testing and
classification OF timber i'll regard to
strength and durability; the best way to
stop sand drifting by tree planting,
and many others OF similar nature.
The report OF the Forester for 1902
is particularly encouraging i'll one point
that which records in brief the chang
ing attitude oil private owners OF large
forest reserves. They arc coming
more each year to look to the Bureau
for advice on the management OF their
property. This is given free by Uncle
Sam on condition that the owner pay
the bare expenses OF an expedition to
the forests to be looked over and adj
viscd upon The owners are often quite
willing to do this, for it means more
profitable management OF their wood
lands-and money is most eloquent
perSuadcr.

be asked three times which end you
will have. If you say right" then
that end of the cork must be passed
along your forehead. The cork must
then be turned several times and
whichever end you say must next be
passed down your hose and the third
time across your cheeks or chin. You
