HOW PARAFFIN
 IS OBTAINED

The paraffins are produced under var ious circumstances from fats and other orga ic compounds, but are chiefly ob- tained among ths products resulting from the destructive distillstion of many organic substances, especially camel and boghead coal, and from bl- luminous shale. They are a natural constituent in varying proportions of the different kinds of petroleum, and solid parafins are found native in Aus tria, Great Britain, the United States Utah and some other countries, con stituting the minerals known as earth wax, fossil (miueraD wax, ozokerite And for covering iellies, etc, it has no equal, all you have to do after your iel- lies are cold, melt the parafin and pour enough on top to make a thin cover. Not necessary tea use any other cover ing Parafin in any quantity can be had at Kelly X Co. at a reasonable price. Mail orders receive our prompt attention

The couuette Punished

Ellen lived in little village and was
considered very beautiful by the village
swains. She bestowed on each a pleasant
smile and each one thought that he was
the favored one.
There was a youth by the name OF Ed
gar who followed her as her shadow. He
was bashful and shy youth. All the
village folks had paired him, in their
minds, with Ellen.
One bright morning Edgar called at
Ellen's house and asked If she would not
like to so out for ride. Ellen consented
and they started.
Edgar could not for long time bring
himself to tell her of his love. At last ne
told her in flowing words growing
bolder as he advanced of his love for her
and how he would love her evermore
The maiden laughed as he asked her to
be his wife. ''Such thing" said she. "is
never to be thought Of"
Edgar asked Ellen to step out of the bug
gy for moment. as he heard something
break. AS he handed her out he laughed,
cracked his whip and started to drive.
The maiden cried out and said: please
take me home" But Edgar said: such
thing is never to be thought off,

Persian cat informally occupying the
hearth rug. The cat moved away with
a distrustful backward glance, but
Sibyl, abandoning for the moment a
huge and misshapen lump Of some
thing which would seem to have been
toffee, gave me a very sticky hand.
I'D offer you some toffee," said she,

thetically, "tummy?"
That's not where Pm smacked," said
Sibyl with dignity. There was a pain

The Persian cat having reconnoitered
from the middle distance at last re-
turned and sat down with an absent
air upon the lump of toffee, but was
Indignantly pushed away by the pro-
prietor of the same.

Sibyl significantly.
