Modern science plays the role of the
eenii of Aladdin's time, usually for
beneficent or laudable ends. but there
Is Il hint of diabolism in an invention
reported from Paris which Is nothing
less than disappearing paper" The
ancanny thing is made according to the
following process:
The paper is first STEPPED in acid (sul-
phuric acid by preference) diluted ac-
cording to the lease of life 1t is intended
The material should possess. 1t is after
ward dried and glazed and the acid super
1cially neutralized by means of ammonia
vapor. But the acid still remains In the
pores. and the paper Is infallibly doomed
after an existence more or less prolonged
as the case may be.
Vanishing paper is no novelty in
certain circles, as. for instance. finan-
clal securities, wills. codiclls, written
pledges and the like, although it is
usually believed that the missing docu-
ments will turn up just at the right
time for some of the parties interested.
The Paris joker does away with all
necessity OF playing ut hide and seek
IN these matters. The note. the pledge.
tie ardent love letters. even the mar
riage certificate or the treaties which
states use us pawns. may be written on
disappearing paper or parchment. timed
TO vanish wien they have served the
purpose OF the sciemer who manipu-
lates them.

A Mans House Is His Castle.

OF late years there have occurred In
the large cities of the country frequent
abuses of the power of arrest which
seem to have been taken as a matter
Of course. The evil was recently com
mented upon iu the strongest terms be-
fore the New York Bar association by
Judge A. L. Clearwater, who says,
''Ihe rights and liberties of the people
have SO long been trampled upon by
the ignorant and brutal persons who
have been put. in rulership as police or
fcers that the citizens of those cities
have forgotten their rights and, having
forgotten, nc longer insist upon them
Judge Clearwater calls to mind the
principle of law that police officers
have no rights in the matter Of arrest
hat every citizen does not possess and
that if an unlawful arrest without a
warrant be made by either a citizen or
Il police officer it is made at his peril.
The provisions of the common law gov
erning arrest are a part of the statute
law of every state in the Union, but
they are, the judge declares, disregard
cd repeatedly in nearly every city in
tie country and mark the difference
between a Gree government and a des-
potism.'' IF this were in the city of
london the officer responsible would
10 NINA removed by fhp interior
ence of the house of N in de-
Tense of common law rights. The con-
stitution of the United States guaran-
tees the security of the person as
against unreasonable seizure, a pro-
vision based upon the dictum of Sir
Edward Coke, which is:
THE house of every n is to him
bis castle and the fortress as well for
defense against injury and yio-
as for his repose."

Injuriou. to the Memory.

Besides inattentive reading there are
other things Injurious to memory. One
is the habit of skimming over newspa-
pers, all in a confused tumble, never to
he thought of again, thus diligently
%crltivating a habit OF careless reading
hard to break, says Home Chat. An
other Is the reading of trashy novels.
Nothing is so fatal to reading with
profit as the habit Of running through
story after story and forgetting them
as soon as read.

Cst1ins Back Stage Art.

The spectacle Of the Russian play
actors now performing In the chief
cities of the country should escn
Americans to refuse to regard the eS-
plotting of personality as the art OF
acting. 1t is the A b G of the stage,
but this generation has yet to learn IL.
A very large class of intelligent people
no longer attend the theater, not only
because the average play is silly or un-
interesting, but because the acting no
longer creates the illusion of reality.
More than any other art. the art OF act
ing must hold the mirror up 10 ma
ture." Our popular stars Q II the
miro up to themselves.
With these Russian players the
drama and the art to interpret 1t are
the real thing. Beside their earnest
effort to place the dramatist I'M bis
message above the actor, u exploita-
ton of vain and physically attractive
stars becomes a hollow sham. Ma
tive managers and native pily@rights
deal in personalities; the Russians oner
characters with something TO say.

One of the Continental Creamery
customers here has figured out that his
little can of cream at 27&1-2cts last
week brought him $3.71 and exactly
the same number of pounds of cream
made into butter sold at the store at
20 cents but 3.27, loss of A cents on
that one churning besides all the butter
making labor. That butter fat at "a
equals butter at 20, yet the price this
week ran up to 29&1-2, giving 26 for
butter. One Hays customer got I'LL
this week at this price; another 9.67,
thicknest of the cream, its test, vary
ing what it brings
Another patron who sold butter the
year round at 20 cents reports they
have this year made more money and
saved all the butter labor by selling
their cream to the Continental.
The Continental, the year round,
give higher price, a square test and
surer and prompter pay, than any other
Creamery.
