The social life of Greenvale also re-

evening gatherings OF the middle-aged
and young folks, to which Angie and
Martin were inevitably invited, became
frequent. They were considered the
guests of honor at all these simple
functions, and none complete without
them. Angie was, of course, the So
cial star who was sought as queen;
her wishes were consulted, her sug-
gestions were asked for, and she was
forced to receive a homage she cared
not at all for. The general sociability
also eliminated in several dances
where she and Martin were obliged to
lead the grand march, and she was be-

Two months had elapsed since the

at every Preside. There was also an
other topic of warm heart interest
the news that Angie and Martin were
now openly pledged to marriage in the
near future. 1t was not long in spread

tently informed Aunt Comfort, that
motherly soul first kissed and caressed
her with fearful joy. and then straight

Mark Twain Reads tiawley's Character.

Only once did Mark Twain appear
in public as a political speaker. As a
conscientious Republican in his politi-
cal preferences, Mr.. Clemens took an
active interest in the Presidential cam
paign of 1880. While visiting in Ell
mire, N, Y, in the fall OF that year, he
made short speech one Saturday
night, introducing to a Republican
meeting General Hswley, of Connec.
ticut. In the course OF his remark:
Mr.. Clemens said:

Japanese Paper Plant for Producing Pulp in
America.
Booklover's Magazine.

Booklover's Magazine.
The cultivation OF paper plants in
Japan is a very important industry.
As is we'll known, Japanese paper Of
various kinds is in demand through
out the world. Recently American
and European manufacturers have
been giving some attention to the pos.
sibility OF producing from japanese
paper pulp some of the numberle.s
useful articles and toys similar to
those in vogue in the island empire.
To that end, Japanese paper shrubs
are to be planted in America and in
the countries of southern Europe.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture, which recently sent eX-
perts to secure seeds OF the mitsumata
plants, is to make extensive expert
ments in growing this particularly
valuable variety. 1t is believed that
this shrub will thrive in Florida. Lou
isiana, in irrigated parts of Texas and
the Colorado desert, and in some sec.
tions of the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin valleys in California.
The yield of the -mitsumata paper
plant in Japan frequently amounts to
1000 pounds of raw bark to the acre.
The crude pulp is readily sold at 81
sen ZIG cents) the pound. The seed
alone are sometimes quoted at 3 yen
($1.5O) the gallon. As many as "a 900
shrubs are grown on an acre.

World Language Of the Future.
Chicago Journal

tHlCHSp JouTnui
What will be the world language oI
the future?
That it will be English is the pre-.
diction Of many scholarly observers
The probabilities are that it will par
take OF the best features of all modern
tongues.
The recent action of Germany in
giving the English language prefer
ence above all other foreign tongues is
formal recognition of fact, and moi
the mere arbitrary expression OF a
choice.
The strong point is made, however
that America, more than England, is
responsible for the change.
Two-thirds of the people who speak
English live on this side OF the Allan.
tic, and their industrial and CONNER.
cial conquests are making the tongue
familiar in every quarter OF the habi
table globe.
French is still regarded as the diplo
matte and "polite" language of the
world, but English, as expanded and
rejuvenated by American transplanta
ton, is becoming the universal bust
ness tongue.
The world language of the future
therefore, is that which America viii
sneak and teach.

LAUNDRY HELPS.

To remove iron rust, saturate the
spots with lemon juice; have water in
the teakettle boiling briskly, hold the
spots over the spout, and the rust will
soon disappear.
To remove grass stains, soak the
stained portions OF the garment in
sweet milk for few moments, then
wash in warm water.
To remove ink stains, soak the spots
in sweet milk for day, changing it
occasionally, then wash. Some dip
the spots in melted tallow, then wash
out the tallow.
For mildew: Lay the garment in
buttermilk for a time. then place in
the hot sun. Lemon juice and salt
are also good.
To remove machine oil, rub the
spots with lard, then wash with warm
water and soap.
Fruit and coffee stains should have
hot water poured through them. and
be allowed to cool before putting into
hot suds.
To remove paint: If fresh, rub we'll
with cloth saturated with turpentine.
If the spots are dry, use equal parts OF
ammonia and turpentine, then wash
in soap suds.

Popular Airs by Birds.

New York Letter in Pittsburg Gazette.
Teaching birds to sing. the new
wrinkle adopted by the London fan,
ciers, is soon to be tried in this city.
They find they can demand a larger
price for members of the feathery
tribe which can warble tunes that
sound like Bedelia," Hiawatha" OF
the other popular airs. A young girl
is placed near the cage and plays the
flute by the hour. A bird at first
takes no notice of the strange, tremu'
lous whistling notes, and it requires
much patience on the part OF the
teacher. After some time the bird be-
gins to repeat the first bar. That is
the cue for the teacher, and the all
is taken up on the flute where the
bird stops, and gradually, bar by bar
the bird is taught the full tune. A
bullfinch is said to be the easiest te
teach to sing, and when they are de-
clared proficient they have a market
value of from $50 to 500.

character, which he believed due to
the drinking of large quantities Of
beer.
1t sort Of makes a fellow feel
ashamed of himself to know that our
own people have become such Shy
locks that in order to graft another
dollar or two we cause the blush of
shame to arise on the faces of the
prettiest, winsome, graceful, lovable
and best young women in the world,
by allowing the Queen OF a carnival to
be brought from country that flies
the British flag. Isn't it disgrace?
Isn't it slur, an insult to our own
young ladies? No fairer women does
the wide world possess than the hand
some American woman, and when
managers OF carnivals have the gall
and nerve to insist on arranging in
any manner whereby the Queen may
be brought from another country than
