After the logs have been cheWed up
and chemically treated the pulp flows
into big vat called the "digester."
Here the pulp looks like rich churn-
ing, but is in reality the solution from
which the cards are made-cards that
will later carry written messages all
over the civilized world.
The wood pulp is flowed out on a
screen of such fine mesh that the
paper is long in gathering, and the
result of this more than ordinary
thorough shaking is a firm, smooth
card of the familiar cream yellow
free from inequalities of texture and
free from all fakes or shadows when
held to the light.
where the floor is Uttered with clut-
ter of book and news paper, sit a
score or more neatly attired women,
busy and happy, smoothing the great
sheets of book and postal stock into
piles. The least defect in the surface
is detected at once by their super.
sensitive finger tips, and sheet after
sheet is rejected for blemish invis-
ible save to touch.
Great trucks carry the postal paper
to the printing establishment, but be-
fore the presses are set to work each
truckful must be inspected by gov
eminent inspector. This inspector
first applies the bulk gauge, to prove
that the postal card is up to standard
in thickness.
The contract requires that each
sheet be one-eleven-thousandt part of
an inch in thickness. So if the needle
whirls' around the face of the indica-
tor and stops again at 165, all is well.
The second requirement is that every
sheet shall endure the test of so
pounds pressure to the square inch.
So into the strength tester goes the
sheet from the truck load, the pres
sure is applied and the indicator
shows the value of the sheet.
The blind mans test" or German
test, is the third to prove that the
surface of the card is properly resined,
sized or finished. It is an applica-

With the coming of cooler days one
must pick the dresses which will be
in harmony with the change, and moth
ing is finer than the little shocked
frocks of alpaca for young girls. They
not only can be worn for the end of
the summer season, but later on for
school. Alpaca is also much to be
commended for the making of dresses
for misses wear, as they are not only
serviceable but smart. In fact, it
will be distinctly wise If for the the
majority of the young folks new
gowns, the chosen materials are al.
paca, covert coating, serve or voille,
as then they will do good service right
up to the time when winter clothes
and furs become necessity.
With the younger girls it is coming
more and more to be the custom to
wear the lighter washable materials
all the year, the needed warmth be-
ing supplied by the extra flannel un-
dergarments. And the dress of dec
orative design is just as necessary for
the seven-year-old as for the 17-year-
old miss. But for both the choice
may we'll fall upon white muslin or
fine pique trimmed with the broderie
anglaise, which as it manages to COM
bine daintiness and durability in the
most satisfactory fashion, is likely to
go on enjoying the favor of fashion
and her followers for many long
day to come. In the case of the little
damsel of seven, the design Of the

Novel Life Insurance.

A curious form of life insurance was
introduced some years ago in French
manufacturing towns under the name
Of La Fourmi (the anti. The pecu-
iarity is that the longer a man lives
the less he becomes entitled to. The
payment of about a dollar a month
assures the payment of $1,000 to the
heirs of man dying before the age
of 80, the payment diminishing pro-
portionately to $50 at 81. The idea
seems to be that if a man dies young
his children are likely to be in want,
but when he is so they will be able
to earn their own living.

MARKET FOR COTTON MARKET FAIRLY ACTIVE AND FLUc- TUATTONS IRREGULAR. General Tone Was Steady With Close at Net Advance After Low Opening

New York, Aug. s.-The cotton market was fairly active today. sales being esti- mated at 20, 600 bales and while fluctuations were somewhat irregular, the general tone was steadier with the close steady at net advance of four to seven points. The market opened steady at decline of one point to an advance of three points and In spite of rather lower cables, than due. sold up to a net advance of six to seven points of rain in the northern part of Texas. fol- lowing the heavy precipitation reported on Monday The official bulletins giving the rainfall for >the State did not confirm the report of very heavy rains circulating early, however. and during the late morning the market reacted under a heavy renewal of bear pressure and liquidation which sent prices back to within two or three points Of last nights close. Later there were a number of private crop reports from North Texas, parts Of Indian Territory and north ern Louisiana, claiming considerable dam age as a result of recent wet weather and sects on which the market sold up to a net advance of 1o@11 points. but reacted to- ward the close under room selling in an eGfort to shake out early buyers. Southern spot markets were unchanged to hc low ST.

 New Orleans, La, Aug. S:-Fioods ish operations in the cotton market duiged in early in the day, and few weak kneed shorts were intimidated into. covering. but with. all this, the market advanced only points M De- level. fresh selling orders appeared around the ring, and the advancing tendency was effectually checked for the rest of the. day.
 We feel convinced that large por- ton of today's buying was based on a nfisapprehension regarding the floods reported in Texas. Many traders who hastily read the newspaper accounts jumped at the wrong conclusion that the rains which caused the floods had occurred yesterday whereas the over How was due to the rains that had fallen Sunday and Monday. and which, the market had already taken cokni- zance of. The damage caused by the floods is, we think. more imaginaky than real, 80 far as the cotton crop is concerned, because. where the flood tie cotton raised The whole area af- fected does not produce, altogether more than 50,000 bales.
 A reliable cotton man who has just returned from San Angelo informs us that only about 5000 bales were rais- ed in the territory thereto last year, fwhiie. the most that is expected to be raised in the same stretch of country this year Is 10000 bales. Tom Green County, in which San Angelo is locat- ed is more of cattle country than anything else. There are some big cotton counties along the banks of the Colorado river. .but there seems to have been little or no damage done in the real cotton section.
 Barring occasional reactions like the one experienced by the market to- day, we see nothing to prevent prices from sinking to a considerably lower level We favor short sales whenever the market strengthens on any buliish influence of the moment.
 Yours truly,
