afford to be kind and charitable to

How celluIoid 10 Made.

Celluloid, the chemical compound
which bears so close resemblance
to ivory, is mixture Of collodion and
camphor, invented In 1855 by Perk-
esine, Of Birmingham, whose name for
a time 1t bore.
The process Of manufacture Is az
follows: Cigarette paper soaked in 8
mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids
until it becomes itro-cellulose.
After thoroughly washing, to free II
from the acids, this cellulose is dried.

Pious Fade,

A good Catholic hardly knows
whether to be pleased or annoyed at
some Of the evidences of imitation of
Catholic practices he sees about him.
Nowadays it is the fashion to affect a
kind Of dilettanteism in devotion, to
carry faddism into religion, says the
Paulist Calendar.

because he was so chivalrous in his

In Search Of q Wife.

A Christian in search of wife
ought in the first place and above all
other considerations, fix upon per-
son who Is firstly of his own religion,
and secondly, a virtuous Christian.
That he choose one of his own re-
ligion is of the utmost consequence.
for several reasons, first on account
of his own salvation, secondly on ac-
count of the children, and thirdly on
account Of their own peace and hap
piness. All the injunctions, laid up
on Christians in the New Testament
to avoid dangerous communications
with those of false religion, imply
the obligation of not entering into
marriage with them; and although in
certain circumstances the Church
judges it necessary to permit such
connections in order to prevent
greater evils, yet she has always de.
clared her disapprobation of them
we'll knowing the fatal seduction that
too often flows, from them. - Wher

GOOD ROADS

Samuel Hill, father of the good
roads movement in this state, has COM
menced a campaign to instruct the
Washington delegation to the next
republican national convention to in
sist upon the insertion of a plank in
the platform committing the party
to the policy of government aid for
good roads.
Expert government advice to road
builders is urged by Hill, who is
strongly opposed to the proposals that
the federal government build a ma
tional turnpike or appropriate money
for aiding the states to build good
roads. He insists the project for a
national turnpike from New York to
San Francisco is impracticable, aside
from the fact that it would traverse
too much country of a productive
character.
ct is fact that there are very few
men in this country who know how
to build good roads," insists Hill in
support of his movement. "The gov
eminent itself does not understand the
good roads movement and is in no
position now to take up the prop
ganda.
CAS- long as the federal government,
maintaining a roads bureau, does not
take up the road building movement
systematically it is not surprising the
various states are slow to organize
properly.
'It is not the function of the ma
tional government to build our roads,
but the government does owe to the
people the support of a bureau that
will make a systematic study of road

A Cup of Tea For the Deity.

A little girl who had been carefully trained to believe in the existence of a Deity and that God was ever pres, ent to watch over her, was playing the other day ill the nursery Her mother had left her alone to amuse herself with new set of play dishes, a tea set. Her father is an intensely relig. ious man and had assisted his wife in impressing upon the little girl g mind the idea that God was always with and watching over her.
 The little girl was busily engaged in giving a tea party. She had set two dolls at the toy table opposite her and had placed a cup and saucer in front of each of them. There was an extra cup and saucer at a vacant place.
 She poured the tea first into the cups before each doll. Then she came to the cup at the vacant place and paused, because there was no guest there. Then she remembered her re ligious teaching, her face frightened and she said:
 Will you have a cup of tea, God ?''

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener.
 ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt. the most ih. dispensable of all the seasoning sub stances both as relishing condiment and well-nigh universal food pre- servative, is exhaustless, yet even so there is salt and salt, says the Pic torial Review.
 Formerly salt was obtained by evap orating ocean water. a process that left many impurities in the resduum to say nothing of it's exposure to all kinds of dirt in it's shipment from sea ports. The Turks island or rock salt. which is still largely used in pork packing and in the manufacture of ice creams, comes to the United States in holds of vessels continually sub jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon it's arrival 1t is again handled. then packed in coarse burlap bags. permit ting dust to sift into the salt. In this condition it reaches the consumer.
 Latterly, however. the product Of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40'' 000,0 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing a large proportion of this important supply.

Farminu on the Yukon.

W. M. Swinehart has compiled for publication the results of his expert ence in farming al Fort Selkirk, and these show that taking one season with another. the crops raised and the prices received for the product are sufficient to cause the average farmer in the states to look to the north with envy, says the Seattle Post-Intelli- geneer. Oat hay, the chief crop pro. duced, yields about three tons to the acre and sells readily in the spring at from S100 to $125 per ton. Demand has never been lacking for all the hay the farm produces. since the Dawson White Horse stage line, on which from 250 to 400 horses are used every win. ter for several months, passes within few miles of the farm Potatoes yield from three to five tons to the acre and bring as much as l5 cents a pound. The average price for series of years has been fraction over 20 cents a pound. Rutabagas yield six tons to the acre and sell for 6 cents a pound. or s720 an acre. Carrots yield three tons to the acre and sell for 15 cents pound, a return of $900 per acre. Cabbages vary in production to season. ranging from three to eight tons to the acre, and the price ranges from 15 to 20 cents pound It is an exceptional season when the Swine, hart farm does not net it's owners an income of s10.000
