Grandmother at Thirty-four.

From the London Express.
 'The wife of Brooklyn alderman has just had the rare experience of becoming a grandmother at thirty-slx."
 The above paragraph, which appeared in The Express recently, has provided an instant challenge from a lady who lives near Brighton.
 "ls this unusual?' she asks. q was married at fifteen. I had a daughter at sixteen. She married at seventeen and she had a child nearly year afterward.
 Therefore l was a grandmother at thirtyfour. I had four children before l was twenty-one, and have had none since. Now I am forty-two. My girls are all grown up. so we are like five sisters and as happy as queens.
 Three of my daughters are married and l have two grandsons.
 'I could not resist the challenge im- piled In your paragraph, seeing I could so distinctly go one better than the American grandmother"
 Our correspondents achievement is he rolc. But she will probably not be as tonished to find, In spite of the obvious surprise of her question, that she has very few competitors in England.
 The lady was married at fifteen Now in all England, at the time of the last census there were only thirty wives of 
 course, If the census were taken annual ly it might show thirty wives at the age of fifteen every year.
 Against that however, Is to be set the extreme improbability of juvenile mar riage extending to the second genera ton. It no more follows that the daugh- ter of girl of seventeen will herself be mother at seventeen than 1t follows that the first born of a woman of forty will not be a mother until she Is a woman of forty herself.
 Such records as that of the lady in the vicinity of Brighton are more com mon in countries like Australia, where young girls mature into women while still quite young. In India a woman who was not a grandmother until she was thirty-six would De regarded as an eccentricity. Two In every five of the female population of India are married before they are fifteen.

Washington, August 9.-(special) Writ ing from Ronen, France, Thornwell Hay ners, United States Council, sends the foi- lowing to the department of commerce and labor:
 The French chamber of commerce Of Milan says that an artificial cotton is now made from the cellulose of the fir tree freed from aark and knots. The flores, after being pulverized by spe- cial machine, arc placed in a horizontal brass leadined cylinder of some 35oo cu- bic feet capacity and steamed for ten hours, after which 20O0 cubic feet of a bisulphate of soda wash is added and the whole Is heated for thirty-six hours under pressure of three atmospheres
 Then the wood, or fibre, which has be- come very white, is washed and ground by a series of strong metallic meshes, af- ter which 1t is again washed and given an electro-chemical bleaching by means of chloride of llme Passage between two powerful rollers then dries the matter producing a pure cellulose, which when relocated in a tight metal boiler contain ing a mixture of chloride of zinc and hy urocnlorlc and nitric acids, to Wn1cn IS added a little castor oil, casein. and gel atin to give a resistance to the fibre, gives a very consistent paste.
 Threads are then produced by passing this paste through 8 kind of drawplate. These threads, after being passed over a gummed cloth, are immersed in a weak solution of carbonate of soda and passed between two slowly turning drying cylin- ders. Finally to give the necessary sol- idity. the thread is treated to ammoni- acal bath and rinsed in cold water, af- ter which the product is pliable and works we'll

 The alarmist story circulated here to the effect that several cases of cholera had occurred in St. Petersburg, two of which had resulted fatally, proved upon inves- tigation to be without foundation.

Washington, August 9.--Heads of gov ernment departments have let 1t be known that their officials. are not to take any action in local or state politics where their activity may prove compromising in any way to the administration.
