''What will humanity do for struc-
tural wood when the forests of the
world are destroyed 2" This is not an
idle question, and there are men who
profess to give fitting answer, says
the Chicago News.
Humanity will then resort to the
use Of papier mache as a substitute for
wood in building" they say, and then
they point to the rapid advancement
made in the papier mache industry
within the last ten years. Scores of
Chicago homes, hotels, stores and 9TH
er structures are, SO far as interior is
concerned, decorated throughout with
paper work. Where formerly one
would find heavy wood carving, rich
wood panels, columns, capitals, carya-
lids, wreaths and holdings, now, are
to be seen such creations apparently
Of wood, but in reality made of PAPER
mache. The latter is cheaper, lighter,
more easily applied and in addition is
fireproof, being partly composed Of as.
bestus. The material takes u better
finish than wood and costs about one
tenth as much. A few years ago there
was only one small papier mache facto-

Risen From the Forge.

A romance of self-help is contained
in the career of William Watt, who has
been appointed director of the Dussel-
dorf Science and Art Institute.
Mr.. Watt is the second son of a
blacksmith of Port Glasgow, and an
offspring of an old Scottish Covenant
ing family from the neighborhood of
Kilmalcolm.
Starting with no advantage OF birth
educated himself His first teaching,
according to the London Express, was
obtained mt public school under the
Port Glasgow School Board, and he
also attended the science classes pro-
vided by that body, and afterward SIM
liar classes in Glasgow.
He was then apprenticed as a
daughtsman to u London firm, where
he worked for several years. All this
time he never neglected any opportun-
ity of continuing his studies. and the
first reward of his labors WAS an APP
pointment as instructor of science
classes in Paisley and Govan.
Three years ago he received an en-.
gagement under Lloyd's Registry in
Middlesborough, where he is at present
living.
The important post which he has
now gained in Germany is much
coveted one and, in fact, he was
chosen out Of 300 applicants. 1t carries
a salary of $500, rising TO $4,000. Mr..
Watt is only thirty-two years of age

Pure Winter For moc..

There is nothing better for the hog
than pure water pumped from below
the surface every day. SO much the
better if the troughs into which the
water is pumped can be flushed out
and cleansed at regular intervals. Usu-
ally around the drinking quarters mud
accumulates and makes very un-
healthy place for hogs to wallow.
Wherever cholera has existed in hog
lots there is nothing more favorable to
the propaganda of the germs of this
disease than dirty drinking or wallow-
ing quarters. 1t is true that. as the
hog is nOnsweating animal, bath
in mud or in water during the warm
weather seems to be keenly appre-
ciated, and yet from this habit we are
apt to get the wrong impression. The
hog only wallows in mud in order TO
\ keep its temperature down. If clean
water were available this would be
used in preference. 1t will generally
pay to make some attempt to supply
them with quarters where they may
have clean bath when they desire ii,
instead OF compelling them to root and
wallow in the same mud over and over
again throughout the season. 1t should
be remembered that the hog Is natur-
ally one of our cleanest animals. pro-
vided it is given an opportunity to carry
out its own desires.-Rural Hor

ALFONSO AND. HIS MOTOR CAR.
King Of Spain Badly Afflicted With
the Craze

Jerome Hart tells of the enthusiasm
shown by King Alphonso of Spain for
the automobile: He is affected with
en- acute case Of motormania He
spends most of his time, both at Ma
Grid and at San Sebastian, in wildly
careering across the country in motor
cars. He owns several high-power
French automobiles, and when in
them, like Jehu the son of Nimshi,
he driveth fast and furiously. In fact,
so reckless is his driving, so numerous
are his accidents, that the queen moth
er recently became alarmed and urged
him to abandon his dangerous sport.
Failing in this, she got member Of
the cortes to father a law imposing
limitations on the kings speed. This
did not mean limitations as to speed
on the kings highway-it meant limi-
tations on the speed Of the king on the
kings highway. But this projected
law aroused the Indignation of some
courtly legislators in the cortes, and
they opposed it bitterly. The king,
tley said, is above the law, therefore,
to pass laws leveled at the king would
be against the law. Before this puzzle
the perplexed cortes recoiled and the
law was not passed.
"The young king only recently sue
oeeded in so far overcoming the queen
mothers repugnance to motor cars
that he persuaded her to accompany
him in little drive. 1t was unfortu
rate that on her first experiment with
him as motorist the king should
have had one of his frequent mishaps
But he did. He came a cropper, and
ii was a royal cropper.
His enormous machine, going al
high speed, skidded and capsized, hurl
ing its royal freight some distance
into a ditch. The queen-mother was
badly scared, her royal feathers and
royal temper were much rumpled. but
otherwise she was unhurt."
