Hour barrel and it's flues were made
"of gun barrels. Mr.. Cooper was high
ly elated because his engine made
better time than the horses of other
railroads.

PLENTY OF PAPER MATERIALS
Abundant for That Industry In the
Philippines, But Not Utilized
at the Present Time.

Manila paper" is phrase with
which we have always been familiar,
yet there is no paper made in Manila
or anywhere else in the Philippines.
The so-called manila paper has long
been made from WORKOUT ropes of ma
Mia hemp, but the paper mills that
turned out the product were in Eu-
rope or America. "Cogon" grass,
hemp, bamboo, banana and many palm
trees have been used to make paper.
Good newspaper and book material
can be made from the cogon grass,
which grows wild in marketable guam
titles. in many parts of Luzon. Phil
ippine bamboos make strong paper
that bleaches well, the fibers of that
plant being long and thick. The waste
from hemp strippings makes a paper
fine for insulating purposes. Hemp
waste commands high price in the
United States. According to the last
census approximately 100000 tons of
it. including waste thread, Irvine, rope,
ETC., was purchased by American man.

Popular Amethysts.

For day wear amethysts are I'M
doubtedly the fashion. The really
well-dressed woman has sets of these,
hat pins, long watch chain and
brooch to match. In most of the hat
pins the stone is elongated or spher-
ical.
There are some of the prettiest long
chains in which the amethysts are cut
square and quite fat, and the links
of the chain are gold and about half
an inch in length. This is smart
design and looks equally well when
worn with either tailored or lin
gerie waist.
Lapis lazuli is also popular and be-
coming for brooches. Large square
or diamond-shaped ones, set in silver
are very stylish worn at the throat to
hold ones jabot in place.

AN UNOFFICIAL VISIT.

One should always distinguish be-
tween the private and the official
capacity of a person. The way of the
policeman may thus be made hard be-
cause he is forced to arrest his
friends, sometimes his former COM
rades. Nevertheless, stern necessity
demands that the distinction should
be kept. A writer in the New York
Times tells how the Russian novelist,
Tolstoi, is wont to act when occasion
demands.
Tolstoi abominates sneaks and spies
of all kinds. Melikoff. sneak and a
spy, he especially abominates.
One day Melikoff. suspecting that a
good deal of revolutionary work was
going on at Tolstoi's estate, dropped
in Unexpectedly.
do you come" said Tolstoi to him,
Officially, or as a private person? If
you come officially, here are my keys.
Search. Examine everything. You
are quite free to do So"
"But, count" said Melikoff, believe
me, I come to you as a private per-
son"
To!stoi looked at him in silence.

White silk handkerchiefs used as
neckties are sometimes cleaned very
well with dried and powdered starch
in which little powdered blue has
been mixed.
The handkerchief is spread over a
clean linen cloth and with pad on
clean white linen the powder is
rubbed over the silk, then busted out,
after which, with moderately hot
iron and two folds of slightly damp
linen laid over the silk on the right
side, the handkerchief is ironed.
