From Tree to Newspaper.

A London writer says that a Ger
man paper manufacturer at Essen
thai has just made an experiment to
see how rapidly it is possible to
transform a tree into a newspaper.
Three trees in the neighborhood of
his factory were cut down at 7:35
in the morning. They were instant
ly barked and pulped, and the first
roll of paper was ready at 9:34. 1t
was lifted into an automobile that
stood waiting and conveyed to the
machine room of the nearest daily
paper. The paper being already set,
the printing began at once, and by
10 o'clock precisely the journal was
on sale in the streets. The entire
process of transformation had taken
exactly two hours and twenty-five

"there's going to be the biggest fair
for ten years over to Centerby, with
an exhibition of blowing contriv-

Homemade Ointment For the Cure Of
Chapped Hands,

Homemade Ointment For the Cure Of
chapped Hands.
Take ten grains of tragacanth
and place these in three ounces Of
moderate warm, not hot, water. 1t
must then be allowed to stand for
several hours, when one ounce of
glycerin should be added. If it is
desired to give the preparation a
pleasant perfume, this may be OBJ
tanned by adding a small quantity of
oil of roses at the same time. The
whole compound should then be
mixed thoroughly, either by shaking
it up well or stirring with a spoon,
after which it is ready for use.
This remedy is soothing, pleasant
and an almost infallible cure after
two or three applications. As a
rule, unless the cracks in the skin
are very much inhamed, an apphca-
ton of the compound just before re-
firing at night and another in the
morning will generally have the de-
sired result of healing them. 1t is
also a good preventive, and few will
be troubled with chapped hands who
rub it on the skin In the morning
after washing.

AN EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIP.

One of the most remarkable firms
in the world is that of Ely Bowen
and Charles Trip, the former be-
ing minus legs, while the latter is
armless. These two men have amass-
ed a fortune in museums and with
circuses and have purchased a poul-
try farm from their earnings. The
farm is located near Lincoln, Ill,
where Bowen and Trip raise poul-
try. Trip and Bowen are bosom
companions and have been chums al
most since childhood. Bowen was
born minus legs and Trip minus
arms. Bowen has two feet protrud-
ing from his hips, which he uses
with much effectiveness. Trip has
trained his feet to perform the du-
ties of hands. He can roll ciga-
rette as well as any man. The ia
vorite pastime of Bowen and Trip
is bicycling. Often they take long
rides on their tandem, Trip work
ing the pedals and Bowen holding
the handlebars. - Chicago Inter

EnaIish After All.

In a comment in a recent issue
you state that the phrase 'the com
menced author" is not English at
all. VIII you allow me to point out
that in the eighteenth century it
was thought not only English, but
good English, for it was a favorite
expression of DR.. Johnson's? He
says of Akenside, ''He first com
menced physician at Northampton, "
and uses the same phrase about Sir
Richard Rl,elEs-zo4e. IIc also says OF
Young, whether he ever commenc-
ed tutor is uncertain" See Olives
of the English Poets"
The expression seems to have
been not uncommon in the eight
zenith century, though it afterward
went out of use till lately revived.
Whether this old phrase is an Eng
lish immigrant returned from Amer
lea / will not venture to say.-Letter
in London Saturday Review.
