DRUGGISTS, Liahta.

An apothecary found himself minus
his red light one night at time when
it was customary for tradesmen Of his
class to ornament their store fronts
with simple red lamp. To supply his
need he took a glass bottle filed with
a red fluid and placed candle behind
it. The effect so pleased him that he
added another. Rival druggists illu-
minated their windows, increasing the
number of lights and also changing the
colOrs. Thus the entire town followed
the lead. So it became the fashion.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The peat bog
furnishes the latest substitute for wood in
the manufacture of paper. Paper making
from neat on "A commercial scale has already
begun in Sweden. where a company, capt.
taHzed at more than 81. o GOO. has made
extensive purchases OF peat boys and pre-
pared plans for the erection of mills for
turning out wrapping paper and paste
board. Tho money for the enterprise
comes largely from London. but the process
bv which the vegetable fbre Of the peat
will be converted into p IL covered by
an American patent. An account Of the
successful launching OF the enterprise In
given in a report Of United States Consul
X. s. \. Bergh Of G~othenburg. Sweden.
IL is claimed that a ton of paper worth
$50 can be made from peat at a total
cost OF SIS, thus leaving a satisfactory
margin Of profit. II il further claimed
tina il takes only " hours to convert
the peat into paper. II should not, how
ever, be expected that peat A. "a material
for paper making ran take h place Of
wood pulp for all purposes. If it helps
to meet the demand for the coarser grades
Of paper and thus relieves the pressure
upon the timber supply II will do a great
deal for the forests 81 the United States.
The quantity Of peat in the world is
enormous. L. exists in all the countries
Of northern Europe and has been used
as fuel for centuries. Deposits from 10
TO so feet deep and many miles In extent
are not unusual. Siberia has thousands
Of square miles OF peat, and much exists
in the United States and Canada. II Is a
vegetable substance, deposited by slow ac-
cumulations during thousands of years,
the process being similar TO that 10y which
coal WAS formed. .
Many good qualities have been claimed
for paper made from peat. Ii ia said that
| an article wrapped in II will not be attacked
by moths, and for that reason II is assured
TO he peculiarly fitted for boxes and bags
for storing rurs and woollen clothing. IL
is further claimed that a process of bleach
ing will give the paper a snow white color.
and thu make ID equal to the best pulp
papers for printing purposes. but this
claim does not appear to have been estab-
lished by actual tests on a commercial
scale. Wrapping papers, c~ardboards and
| paper boxes made from peat possess greater
strength than similar articles made from
straw.

IF, your COMMITTEES could get itself into

difficulty in arranging for payment On that
date. The only prerequisites to the payment
OF the money are the approval Of our board

The management OF the Baltimore and

obtained an extension Of time to November

of a letter from the vice-preeident and gem
eral counsel Of the Baltimore and Ohio Hail

not urge such a purchase"
And further: " our depositiug stockholders
must certainly know that their COMMITTEES
could not be expected TO complete any trans
action for their account during October"
And concluded: Why not suggest hat
Nthey leave the stock on deposit until the
COMMITTEES can report, on or before December
