Gas pipes of paper are being made
In France. Manila paper is cut into
strips equal to the length of the pipes
to be made. They are then placed In a
receiver filled with melted asphalt and
wrapped around core of iron until
the desired thickness is reached. After
being submitted TO a strong pressure
the paper Is coated with sand, cooled

HOME FROM ADAM TILL NOW.
Place Where Painters and Plumbers
Meet ut Intervals.

Place Where Painters and Plumbers
Meet ut Intervals.
The home is supposed to be a place
where children can congregate, pro-
| tected from the allurements of the
| world and the advice of the neighbors,
and where parents can quarrel judi
ciously without too much interruption,
says Life. In reality, however, the
home is place where decorators, paint
ers, furniture men and plumbers meet
at intervals in order that they may re-
vel in luxury of their own.
Homes have been in vogue for some
little time. Adam and Eve started the
first one, and it would have been well
with them had 1t not been necessary
to send out the washing Thus the ser
want question was started and the ruin
of man followed.
A home Is what is left after you have
paid the taxes. the interest on the mort
gage and the lnstallment man. To own
more than one home is not to have any.
Homes were at one time popular In
this country. When. by going out In
the back yard to milk the COW, one was
in danger of being scalped, the home
was at the height of its popularity
Owing, however, to the decreasing de-
mand for babies and the increasing
demand for alimony, homes are being
looked upon with disfavor.
In the suburbs the home still flick
ers on, kept alive by certain instincts |
handed down from past age.
1t is impossible at present to say |
just how long the home will continue |
to exist 1t is hard to raise children
and mortgages at the same time.
Ii is quite evident that cooks and
children are gradually disappearing.
This greatly simplifies the problem.
In all probability the race of the fu-
ture will be divided into two. classes
those who, having become worn out
looking for servants, are now In sani-
tar!ums being taken care of by the
government, and those who still con-

NOVEL CURES FOR SNORING.

Case OF Offending Policeman suE-
gests Remedies for Disease.
Very many of our readers will be
Interested In tine ultimate fate of the
unfortunate snoring policeman who has
been banlShed from his fellow sleepers
and Gagged at night in souud-proof quar-
tiers. Perhaps the dreadful lnfirmity
now that II has the official recognition
of his superiors, may call for some
suitable scientific treatment. If so the
great army OF snorers can covertly
watch the outcome with all the cunning
and complacency of undiscovered trans
gressors.
We are glad we can make the start
with a perfectly fair case, for convlc-
tion of the nuisance is always most diff
ticult to obtain. The culprlt must be
caught with the snore on him and in
the presence OF reliable ear witnesses.
No one has ever been known to ac-
knowledge his fault voluntarily. On
the contrary, one of the surest signs of
the confirmed malady is his persistent
denial of its existence He is not salts
fed to plead lack OF premeditation and
absence of accountability, but openly
impugns the motives OF his clamorous
accusers. The worst OF It is that on all
other matters he is perfectly reason
able. This makes II extremely diff
cult to obtain his consent for treatment
of any sort.
We speak now OF snorers as a class.
