MADE OF PAPER.
Textile Fabrics That Are Warm and
May Be Washed,

Scientific American: Garments made
of paper have long been used in east
ern Asia. but only in default of other
clothing or on special occasions. In
western countries the only articles of
dress made of paper. until recently,
were collars. cuffs and shirt bosoms;
that is to say, articles which are
usually starched. Now, however. nu-
merous inventors are endeavoring to
Introduce woven paper fabrics.
Some time ago an Italian. Professor
Zanetti. devised a method OF making
fine and strong yarns by twisting very
thin silk paper, cut into strips about
one-tenth of an inch wide. As: yet these
yarns are used only for Wteks of wax
candles n in the manufacture of in
candescent gas mantles. nf -
A greater advance has been made in
SaXony. Here, also, narrow strips of
paper are spun by a process patented
also spun together, so that in the fin
ished yarn the paper e%nvelops the cot
ton. These yarns are used as filters, in
conjunction with cotton warp, in weav-
ing drillings suitable for toweling and
summer w~aistcoats, trousers and skirts.
Heavier n warmer cloth is made
by combining paper and wooden yarns.
The fabric is cream colored. and ma
be washed repeatedly without injuring
the surface. 1t is we'll adapted for ten
mis- and lounging suits. Sufficient cloth
Tor u jacket, waistcoat and trousers
costs only 10 marks, or $3.50, and still
cheaper garments are made for labor
ers. This new product is named
xylolin.
For such use, however, raw materials
even cheaper than finished paper are
sought. Spinning-mill refuse, consist
ing of very short, smooth fibers that
cannot be spun, goes. as a rule. to the
paper mills. Many attempts to utilize
this material have bee made in spin
ming mills, n experiments in spinning
it wet suggested the idea of further
comminuting the hor fibers in paper
machines. In this way a thin fibrous
paste was produced. This, when poured
on Stoves, yielded a thin. soft paper,
which, partially dried n cut into mar
row strips could be spun into yarn.
Other cheap paper stock, Including
by a similar process, and SO spinning
and paper making meet.
One brand of these cellulose or wood
pulp yarns is called silvalin. During
the last ten years many similar pro-
cesses have been patented. The manu-
facture is still in the experimental
stage. but definite progress has been
made M the Industry has a promising
future before it.
Resistance to the action of water is
another important quality in which
fabrics differ greatly. Professor Pfuhly
gives IN example from experience. "A
lighter laden with grain in jute and can
a bags sank in the Volga. Thirty
six hours afterward the canvas (fiax)
bags were raised. with their contents,
but h jute bags had d~isintegrated so
that the grain which they contained
was lost. Jute yarns, however, with
stand several hours immersion, but
wood pulp yarns fall apart after very
brief soaking.

A Girl Who Has a Tenor Voice

From the Duluth News-TribuEe.
Miss Josephine Northmore, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Northmore, of Lake
side, has a genuine tenor voice. No one
who has heard 1t doubts 1t. especially since
the four months training which 1t haa
received from her teacher.
The young woma sings her tenor SEE
lections in correct tenor range. with per-
feet musical unconsciousness and exQul-
site beauty.
The range.o of Miss Northmure's voice is
from E fat to high G, a full tenor range.
Any attempt at making her sing soprano
in the same range, or contralto, has proven
.unsuccessful.
1t ,ssinterestiIg. but a triie odd, to see
the slender gtrlish. figure and listen to q
voice which. with closed eyes. one could
p was a mans voice OF unusual and
exquisite sweetness.
Miss Northmore has sung in Duluth, but
not often, and 1t Is the wish OF those most
deeply interested in her that she does not
sing until more training has brought her
voice to- the finished beauty which Is
promised. In the mcatimc 1t is fun, fex-
ible and sympathetic, and she sings with
unconscious simplicity, and almost fault-
less enunciatioa.

many of the phrase uttered by Cromwell:
There will never be a good time in Eng

h Is the value OF our peerage OF to-
ay? Lord Beaconsield answere the
question in "Coningsby'' many years ago:
Ancient lineage said Mr.. Millbank, L
never heard Of a peer with an ancient lin
cage. The real old families Of this coun-
try are to be found among the peasantry;
the gentry, too, may lay some claim to old
blood. I can point you out Saxon families
In this country who can trace their pedi-
grees beyond the conquest: I know Of
some Norman gentlemen whose fathers
undoubtedly came over with the Con-
queror. But a peer with an ancient lin
cage is to ME quite q novelty. No. no:
the thirty years wars of the roses freed
us. from those gentlemen. 1 take ii, after
the battle of TcWkeabury, a Norman baron
was almost as rare a being in England
as a wolf is now.'
IL have always understood said Con-
tngsby, that our peerage was the finest
in Europe
:" From themselves said Millbank: and
the heralds they pay to paint their car
riages. But j go to facts. When Henry
VII. called his first parliament there were
only twenty-nine temporal peers to be
found, and even some of them tool, their
seats illegally, for they had been at.
tainted. OF those twenty-nine not five re-
main; and they, as the Towards. for in.
stance, are not Norman nobility. We owe
the English peeiage to three sources-the
spoliatlon of the church, the open and
fagrant sale of honors by the elder
Stuarts. and the mountaineering ofsour
W times. Those are the three. main
sources Of the existing peerage-or Eng
land, and In my opinion d!sgracefuI

Mrs. Kate Patch of $50 First street
was found lying dead upon the floor in
the house by neighbOr. Mrs. Kate
Thompson. Monday afternoon shortly
after O'Clock At first it was thought
that the woman had committed suicide,
but this theory was dispelled at the
coroner's inquest. DR.. r. r. White
side. the attending physician, said that
he thought death was due TO being
overcome by heat. The immediate sur
roundings in the home were nausea
ting. Her husband, AL Patch. painter
who had been employed in Rock Island
left home Saturday night and all eff
forts to locate him have proved futile
Their married life was not strewn en-
tirely with roses. Both were users OF
liquor and neighbOTs said that when
Patch was not after a can of beer for
his wife some one else was. Often the
two would have spats. and it might
have been after one of these, the man
departed. Mrs. Patch was past ~
years of age. and had moved To Moline
with her husband four or five months
ago.
