cloth, and is apparently as durable as
leather. 1t is not improbable that in
the future cheap suits, costing about
fifty cents, and guaranteed to last for
years, will be made Of spruce or pine.
Napkins, shirts, collars Of the finest
quality have long been made from
the fiber of hemp; and, in using wood
for heavier cloth, the process is
equally simple. The wood is first
ground into a soft pulp. and this pulp
is pressed through holes in iron plates.
1t comes out in long ropes about one
half inch in diameter. These ropes,
which are very easily broken at this
stage, are dyed, and then twisted
tightly, till finally they become as
small as threads. Part Of the threads
are used for the warp and part for
filling, out of which a strong web of
the wooden cloth is woven.-Technical

How came you by that photograph
I say?"
Hadn't you better call Mrs. Ellicott
as you threatened just now, miss? I'll
gladly answer her questions, but not
yours"
Mignon shuddered.
Il will pay you to speak, Susan" she
faltered. Il will give you money. You
love money, do you not? All servants
are open to bribes.''
Il am notI" answered Susan, sharp
| ly; Il wouldn't accept penny. from
you on any condition. And I'll never
give you the information you want
miss, though you should go down on
your knees for it. If the day comes
as it will-when Mrs. Ellicott asks how
I got possession of this picture, I'll
open my mouth, but not till then"
1.-The day will never come!" said
Mignon, in resolute voice; and swift
as cat she snatched the card from the
waiting woman, and tore 1t to atoms.
"Now leave the room, Susan Taylor!"
she commanded.
Speeches., but grim as Nemesis, Su-
san obeyed Which of the two had
conquered? At another door Fifine
appeared.
"Mademoiselle, the carriage Is
ready" she announced, "and madame
waits"
AS Mrs. Ellicotts victoria rolled
down the hill, in the shadow of the
trees, Mignon said, softly:
THAT odd disagreable creature who
waits upon you makes me very unhap-
py. Dear Mrs. Ellicott, I wish you
would send her away"
Mrs. Ellicott's face clouded.
my dear, you do not know what
you say" she answered. Susan Tay-
lor has been In my employ, as I once
told. you, for almost thirty years."
"She is my enemy!" murmured Mig
non.
Nonsense, child! what a foolish
fancy She may not feel exactly cor
dial to you, but you know the reason
why-I have explained all that. Poor
Susan! has she annoyed you in any
way? Have you any real charge to
bring against her?"
"No-oh, no." said Mignon, uneasily;
but I quite detest the woman, and
and-I thought you would dismiss her
from your service, for my sake"
Dismiss Susan? Impossible!"
1t was the first rebuff which the new
favorite had received. She pouted like
a child.
"And yet you banished your sons
portrait from the drawing room be-
cause it frightened mel" she murmur-
ed.
True" replied Mrs. Ellicott, sadly;
"the portrait had no capacity for suf-
fering-Susan has. My dear, unrea-
sonable Mignon, do not ask me to be
unjust. You have many absurd
whims; must not humor them all.
Moreover, a semi-invalid like myself
cannot change an attendant as one
does a gown. No! no! !"
Something in her tone forbade Mig
non to press the matter further She
had triumphed over Lep& Ellicott, the
son; but, as it seemed, Susan, the SER
want, was not so easily vanquished.
IT, be Continued.

THE DUcKING STOOL.
How "ScoId" Used to Be Punished In
Old Enqland.

It is interesting to conjure up pic
ture of a "ducking" as practiced In
England at the end of the eighteenth
century.
When the "scold" had been properly
tried and convicted, she was escort
ed by a crowd of her neighbors-in
fact, by the whole village-to the
nearest pond. and the greener and
Sinner the pond the better. A long
plank was produced, at one end Of
which was the ducking stool, and in
this the screaming, struggling victim
was securely pinioned.
The chair end Of the plank was
then pushed far over the edge Of the
pond and at signal 1t was tilted
deep into the green ooze until the
scold was completely immersed.
When the dripping, half drowned
woman was raised to the surface
again to the jeers and laughter Of the
on lockers it can be imagined that her
tongue wagged to some purpose. After
a second dose she emerged more sub
dued, and after third or fourth she
was as penitent a woman as the VII
lage contained and was allowed TO
proceed home a sadder and wiser wo-
man until the next time.-London

her friend, staring at Hume with su-
percilious air.
"Pardon!" muttered the young fell
low, and he arose and relinquished the
seat to it's rightful owner. Without
another word or glance to Miss Fassel
he bowed stiffly and retired.
He had said that he would speak
once, and then forever hold his peace
She had never listened to more un-
pleasant speaking. Should she call him
back? 1t was impossible, in that place
and with scores of curious eyes upon
her! Her friend took the vacant seat
again, with a little toss of her head.
How impudent!" she whispered
who was that man, Edith? I wonder
if he knows that 1 paid seventy-five
dollars for my ticket 1t is frightfully
warm here, is it not-and that crowd!
Let me look at you, dear-I hope moth
ing is wrong-why, you are as pale as
any number Of ghosts!"

Clothes Made From Wood.

It will probably not be very lone
before we can go into one of the dry
goods stores and say to a clerk: Let
me see what you have in the line of
wooden suits" He may reply: Hard
or soft?" Whereupon it will be our
part to specify that we want a suit OF
good" pine, without any cheap
sapwood." Vests of this kind are al
ready worn by the carding room

The material resembles a stiff, thick

CHAPTER XIII.
The Discovery.

Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel!'"
he cried, gayly. Life is all changed
in the twinkling Of an eye!"
DR.. Bellamy's patients were the mil
lionaires of the city. Hume was still
sane enough to correctly calculate the
worth of a place in the great surgeons
office. To be pushed to the front by
that man meant wealth and distinction
at once.
He grew wildly exultant, then sud-
denly gloomy. PerpleXity, suspicion,
fell on his joy, like a cold douche.
Who had induced Rellamy to come to
his aid-to extend the helping hand at
this crisis in his affairs? What secret
power had been set at work for his
sudden relief and advancement? Hume
stood in the miserable room, which he
was about to leave forever, and with
knitted brows stared into vacancy:
81 will never rest" he muttered, till
I solve the mystery Of this night-till
I discover the person who brought me
to Bellamys notice, and persuaded him
to look me up"

THOUGHT ONLY OF THE DYNAMITE

THOUGHT ONLY OF THE DYNAMITE
Some grim stories are told Of Lord
Kitchener says the United States
Gazette, and we have read one which,
although we cannot vouch for the
truth of it, has a decided Kitchener
flavor about it. A young suba tern
who was in charge of some works
that were in course of construcffon
in the Punjab had the misfortune to
lose some native workmen through
an accident with dynamite. Fearful
of a reprimand from headquarters,
he telegraphed to the commander in
chief, Regret to report killing OF
twelve laborers by dynamite acci-
dent" Back is said to have come
the laconic message, DO you want
any more dynamite?'

RARE OLD PAPER.
Genuine Ulster County Gazette Depicts
Funeral of Washinuton.

funeTdI OF "
Mrs. H. F. Moon, living at North
25th and Munroe streets, Tacoma,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
owns a valuable relic in the shape of
copy Of the Ulster County Gazette,
of Kingston, N. Y, published in jan
uary, 1900, a few days after the fun
eral of President George Washington.
Almost the entire paper is devoted to
General Washington, and it gives the
following account Of the obsequies:
"Georgetown, Va, Dec. 20, 1893.
"On Wednesday last the mortal
part of Washington the Great-the
father Of his country and the friend
of man-was consigned to the tomb
with solemn honors and with funeral
pomp.
"a multitude of persons assembled
from many miles around at Mount
Vernon, the choice abode and last res
idence of the illustrious chief. There
| were the groves, the spacious avenues,
the beauty and sublime scenes-the
noble mansion, but, alas, the august
| inhabitant was no more! The great
soul was gone! His mortal part was
there, indeed, but, ah, how affecting!
How awful the spectacle Of such
worth and greatness thus fallen! Yes,
| fallen, indeed!
I'm the long and lofty porticos
where oft the hero walked in all his
glory now laid the shrouded corpse,
the countenance still composed and
serene, still expressing the magma
nimity of the spirit which had dwelt IN
that lifeless form. There those who
paid the last sad honors to the bene-
factor of the country took an impress
sive and farewell view.
ION the ornament at the head of
the coffin was inscribed Surge ad ju-
dicum. About the middle of the cof-
| fin Gloria Deo, and on the silver
| plate
General Washington departed
this life on the 14th day Of December.
| 1899. Act. g.
of artillery from a vessel in the river
firing minute guns awoke afresh our
solemn sorrow. The corpse was moved.
A band of music with mournful mel
ody melted the soul into all the ten
derness of woe. The procession was
formed and moved on in the follow
ing order: Cavalry, Infantry (with
arms reversed).
Guard.
| Music.
Clergy.
The Generals horse, with his saddle,
holster and pistols.
Colonel Simms, Colonel Ramsey, Col

Corpse.
Colonel Gilpin, Colonel Marsteller,
Colonel Little (pallbearers.
Mourners.
| Masonic brethren.
| Citizens.
when the party had arrived al
the bottom of the elevated land on the
banks of the Potomac where the fam
lily vault is placed the cavalcade halt
ed the infantry marched toward the
Mount and formed their lines; the
| clergy the Masonic brothers and the
| citizens descended to the vault and
the funeral service of the church was
performed; the firing was repeated
from the vessel in the river, and the
sound echoed from the woods and
hills around.
THE sun was now setting. Alas,
the Son of Glory had set forever! NO!
The name of Washington, the Amer
lean president and general Will trl-
umph over death! The unclouded
brightness of his glory will illuminate

SEAMEN STRIKE AT MANILA.
Feared That Trouble Will Seriously
Delay Crop Transportation.

Special Cablegram to The Star
MANILA, December 3.-The crews of
the coastwise steamships went on strike
today. Their demands number three-a
10 per cent increase in the present scale
of wages, shorter hours to the working
day and 100 per cent increase in pay
for overtime work.
Many of the steamers are lying un-
manned in the wharves loaded with
freight. 1t is expected that the strike
will seriously delay the transportation
of crops.
