The Stage Mirror.

Whenever Il looking glass appears IN
q scene in play above fireplace, in
q sideboard or Il cabinet one Is almost
sure to hear somebody ask his or her
neighbor why the glass has been smear
ed with whiting or soap or something
that dulls its surface completely, All
sorts of reasons are hazarded or sug-
gested. Sometimes 1t is stated that 1t
is done for luck, at others that they
did not intend to leave 1t dirty. The
real explanation Is, however, simple
one. The glass Is dirtied to prevent
the illusion of the scene being de-
stroyed. as 1t certainly would be II the
audience saw in II the reflection OF
themselves or, worse still, the refiec-
ton of the people in the wings carry
ing on the business Of the stage.--Chi-

In cases of diphtheria onions In the
form Of poultice and n strip are said
to have an almost magical effect The
poultice I'm this case is made of the raw
onion pounded to pulp and bandaged
around the throat well up to the ears,
changing as often as the mass becomes
dry. A poultice of the same on the
sole Of each foot reduces the fever. The
mucilaginous properties Of onion juice
make it specially soothing to the In
famed mucous membrane and there
fore acceptable in case of whooping
cough, Group or diphtheria. An excel
lent way to make the srup Is to cut
the onion into Slices sprinkle plentiful
ly with sugar and press between hot
plates and heavy weight until ali the

Readers Of the Tribune who are
interested in a Commercial or Steno-
graphical course will do we'll to in
vestigate the Metropolitan Business
College, 1866 Wabash Ave-, Chicago.
This is a most excellent business
preparatory school and enjoys an
excellent reputation throughout the
Northwest. Students are received at
any time. Young men and women
with high school education should
fit themselves for practical work by
pursuing one of the courses given at
the Metropolitan. Send for illustrated
prospectus. Summer term opens July
5, 1904.
"A new item handed In or COM
municated to any of the force is
thankfully received and is regarded
as favor in this office. People are
interested in one another and any
thing of moment happening to one
is matter of interest to many others.
1t has always been so, is now and al
ways will be that the burning of a
house or Darn, the arrival of a baby,
a runaway, marriage, a death, the
presence of visitors, the going away
on visit, and many other events too
numerous to mention were. are and
will continue to be matters of inter-
est In the communities in which they
occur. False modesty prevents many
good people from telling newspa-
per MAJ matters of news. 1t is mis-
take 30 take that view of it. The re-
porter knows instantly the motive
that prompts person in telling him
an item Of news and values it at its
true worth. The only request is don't
walt until it is time to go to press be-
fore handing in such Items.

Material Used In Making Note Paper.
1t is not Il pleasant thought that the
brilliant white note paper which your
hand rests upon may have in 1t the
fibers from the filthy garment Of some
Egyptian fellah after it has passed
through al the stages Of decay until 1t
is saved by ragpicker from the gut
ter of an Egyptian town. and yet it is
a fact that hundreds of tons of Egyp
tain rags are exported every year into
America to supply our paper mills, At
Mannheim, on the Rhine. the American
importers have their ragplcking houses
where rags are collected from all over
Europe, the disease infected Levant not
excepted, and where women and chill
,dren, too poor to earn Il better living,
work day after day, with wet sponges
tied over their mouths, sorting these
filthy scraps for shipment to New York.
Our best papers are made Of these rags
and our common ones Of wood pulp,
which is obtained by grinding and
maccrating huge blocks from some Of
our soft wooded forest Unconstitutional

And we'll they might. Nothing equal
to them will be seen in this section

Last week Elmer Hornung
packed up his grip and started for a

AT Argyle on Monday of this

Judge w. H. Thomas and Mr..
Henry Roberts, two honorable and
intelligent SONS whom Iowa county
takes pleasure in claiming, were over
frcnI the county seat Saturday. Like
many other business establishments
of this city the Tribune enjoyed a
pleasant call.
There will be special meeting
of the Independent Order of Fores-
tiers on Friday evening, July 8. All
members of the subordinate and COM
panion courts are requested to be
present as business of Importance is
to be transacted. Miss Shoop, organ
izer, will be present.
A note found by the brother of
Mrs. Augusta Reinhart, who disap-
peared from Shullsburg last Friday,
says that if she is ever found it will
be in hole. The abandoned mining
shafts around Shullsburg are being
thoroughly searched.
Wherever our streets have been
treated with layer of crushed stone,
such as the city is now equipped for
supplying, the improvement is read
lily noticeable. Would that High
and Commerce streets could be treat
ed in the same way; but the prepa-
ration for and doing of the job in a
proper and substantial manner would
entail such large expense that 1t is
not reasonable to look for it in the
immediate future.
Mrs. Il. j. Perkins, the Matron Of
the Iowa County Insane Asylum,
went to Chicago on Monday of last
week to consult DR.. Byford, a specia
list on diseases Of women. On Wed
nesday morning she underwent an
operation for the removal of a large
ovarian tumor, the operation lasting
two hours. Up to the time of going
to press, the reports from her nurse
are that she Is doing nicely, and we
hope for her speedy return to her
duties.
Mr.. Henry Hoare, arrived here
Saturday noon from Chicago, where
he has been located for nearly two
years, and will spend few weeks in
this city visiting with his parents
and friends. He is studying the vio-
lin and is a pupil of Mr.. Earl Drake,
one of Chicago's foremost teachers
on that instrument. Henry is also
teaching, and already has quite a
large class of pupils on the violin
