MAKE ALUMINIUM PAPER.
Manufactured in Germany and Used
as Substitute for
Tinfoil.

According to United States Consul
General Guenther, at Frankfort, alum
mum paper is now manufactured In
Germany and recommended as SUBJ
stitute for tinfoil. 1t Is not the So
called leaf aluminium. but real paper
coated with powdered aluminium, and
Is said to possess very fave rable quail
ties for preserving articles of food, for
which 1t is used as a covering. Chemi-
cal analysis has proved that aluminium
paper contains but few foreign SUBJ
stances. Occasionally II may contain
up to two per cent. of iron, but never
any arsenic or other poisonous metals.
Hence II appears that the powdered
aluminium used for the manufacture Of
aluminium paper is relatively pure.
The paper used is sort OF artificial
parchment, obtained through the ac-
ton of sulphuric acid upon ordinary
paper. The sheets are spread out and
covered upon one side with a thin
coating of a solution of resin in alco-
hol or ether. Evaporation is precipi-
tated through current Of air and the
paper is then warmed until the rosin
has again become soft Then powdered
aluminium is sprinkled upon it and the
paper subjected to strong pressure 10
iasten the powder thereon. The metal
lie covering SO obtained is neither af-
fected by the air nor by fatty sub
stances. aluminium paper is much
cheaper than tin,oil and will, so 1t is
thought here, become a strong COM
petitor thereof.

The city sportsman, armed with flies
of every shape and color, a five and .
half ounce rod and patent reel, and
q treatise on fly casting under his arm,
wended his way toward the country
stream, relates the New York Herald.
He passed country youth who, with
rough pole and line, was trying to
lure trout from the stream with worm
bait. The lad directed look of scorn
at the outfit the city man carried.
After a couple of hours of fishingihe
two anglers. with their, contrasting
equipments, met again.
What luck, mister?" asked the
country youth.
Twelve fat trout four black bass
and some pickerel," said the dude fish
erman. What have you landed?"
Didn't catch a single thing" an
swered the native.
Struck with a sudden thought, the
country youth continued. somewhat
bitterly:
Say, mister, when you go back to
the city, hunt up some OF those writer
fellers and tell 'em to quit maxim up

country kids pole and bent pin always
beat the bamboo rod in the city mans
hand. II don't allus turn out that

COURTESY At TURNSTlLE.
Progress Of an Impetuous Man As
sisted in an Unlooked-For
Manner.

The usual hurried crowd was fling
through the turnstile to the Union
depot from the elevated station the 9TH
morning. relates the Kansas City Star.
A man stood aside TO permit two wom-
en- to precsde him through the whirli-
gig. AS he started through an impetu.
Gus man with a grip bumped him aside
and took his place. The mans polite
ness made lightning change to indig-
nation. A swift kick was the only re-
dress possible and 1t sent the hasty one
through the turnstile with some impet-
us to spare.
The offended man with the grip turned
to seek satisfaction, but he was barred
in. 1t would cost him five cents to get
at the enemy. He reached for a nickel,
looked at the clock and hurried on to his
train.
That was good for him. I admire
your spirit" said woman.

the other. II only did my duty rs /
saw 1t. Anyone would have done the
same. Besides. didn't I have a cinch,
though? He couldn't touch me-"

them to the customers in the shops
and keeping the goods of other firms
out Of view. Some of the large retail
firms employ men or women to pur-

This practice of bribing extends to
other branches OF business. A case
has Just been decided by the supreme
court of appeals at Cologne, where the
technical manager of car-building
concern was discharged by the COM
pany which had employed him because
he accepted commission from Arm
for which he procured orders The
manager claimed that such gifts, that
is, percentages paid him in money,
were customary and worked no injury
to his employers, but the court held
that the action constituted a gross
breach of trust and that the manager
was In duty bound to study the inter
est Of his employers and not to be in
fiuenced by selfish considerations. The
lower court decided against the man
ager and the supreme court Of appeals
affirmed the decision.

Sultan's Double.

The sultan Of Turkey is sufferer
from chronic insomnia. brought about
by long continued fear, of assassina-
ton. He sleeps not more than two or
three hours out Of the "a, and then
only when some one In an adjacent
room Is reading or musician is per-
forming for him. The light is always
burning in his bed chamber, and his
foster brother, Ismet Bey. the grand
master of the imperial wardrobe,
sleeps with him. Ismet Bey is the
most trusted member of the sultan's
suite, and as he closely resembles his
master he not infrequently imperson-
ates him on those occasions on which
the sultan appears in public cere-
monies, and there is great risk of as
sassination involved.

BIRD LEGEND OF INDIANS.
Red Men Believe the Great Spirit
Made Winged Creatures Of
Falling Leaves.

An Indian story that has been handed
down and is still believed by many In
dian tribes Is about the transformation
Of leaves into birds. Long years ago
when the world was young, the Great
Spirit went about the earth making It
beautiful. Whenever HIS feet touched
the ground lovely trees and flowers
sprang up. AL summer the trees wore
their short green dresses. The leaves
we're very happy and they sang theiS
sweet songs to the breeze a. It passed
them. "---..s-
One day the wind told them the time
would soon come when they would have
to fall from the trees and die. This
made the leaves feel very bad, but they
tried to be bright and DO the best they
could, so as not to make the mother
trees unhappy. But at last the time
came, and they let 60 the twigs and
branches and futtered to the ground.
They lay perfectly quiet, not able to
move except as the wind would lift them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they we're so lovely that He did
not want to see them die. but live, and
be beautiful forever. 80 he gave to each
bright leaf pair of wings and power to
fly. Then he called them His '..birds." "
From the red and brown leaves of the
, oak came the robins. and yellow birds
from the yellow willow leaves, and from
bright maple leaves he made the red
birds. the brown leaves became wrens,
sparrows and other brown birds. This
is why the birds love the trees and al
ways so to them to build their nests and
look for food and shade.

Crop Estimates.

The New York broker does not care
very much whether the crop is scanty
and prices high or abundant and
prices low so long as he keeps on the
profitable side of the market Bat the
government has gone into the crop
estimating business to protect the pro-
ducer. and the producer kicks like a
mule when the figures do not suit him.
The reply Of Secretary Wilson to the
New York cotton trade when they pro-
tested against his figures implied that
he was mainly concerned to serve the
interests of the producers.
