Paper Pulp Made
From Sugar Cane

One of the greatet problems that are
brought before the mercantile world for
consideration as a result of the rapid
decrease in the timber supply is the
discovery of a iitting substitute for wood
pulp in the manufacture of paper. A
short time ago was published a report
OF the French system OF making paper
| pulp from vines. The latest suggestion,
however, is the utilization of sugar cane
knd, as far as II has been tested, 1t
has appeared in the light of a genuine
| solution.
The planters in Trinidad have found
that they can add enormously to their
yearly profits by raising their cane and
treating II with the specific object OF
turning II into paper, with the manufaC-
ture of sugar as mere side issue. The
process which they have now adopted
makes II possible to use all the fiber of
tho cane for paper and at the same time
TO get more sugar from 1t than by any OF
the old methods. The United States
consul at Santiago, moreover, reports
that the manufacture of paper from the
cane is exciting considerable interest and
some investment in all the sugar coun-
try, and an American company has in
stalled special machinery at Preston,
on TTlpe bay.
The machinery will separate the pulp
from the flber. The water 10 eliminated

WOMEN IN IRELAND
HAVE regulations
AS REAL HUNTERS
Renowned for Their Prov

Hunting absorbs keen sportswomen
In Ireland just now. and it is seldom
that frost drives the Irish follower
to hounds from the countryside
Irish women are renowned for their
fearless prowess in the hunting field,
where the terrible obstacles to be ne

The fearsome stone walls. sometimes

mencement of the hunting season, ex-
periencing the sensation of the heart in
the mouth when called upon to face the
stiff going. She finds her nerve return

saddle.
The late Empress of Austria used to
hunt regularly in Ireland, where her
reckless and brilliant horsemanship is
still spoken of. With the late bay Mid.
dleton to give her lead, she was al
ways In the first fight and stuck al
nothing. The famous happy-go-lucky
hospitality that marks the Irish tenn
perament Is eXemplified in matters
sporting, and open house is kept by
those having accommodation in a good
hunting district.
Every Irishman is a true sportsman
and the whole neighborhood turns out
for a meet. those unable to raise a

HADAR AND THE WILD BOAR.

n n ANY thousand years ago people
Nu did not live in houses like we
do today. Their dwellings
were cold, stone caves, their
lclothing the furry skins of animals and
instead of guns they used great, knotted
clubs to kill wild beasts for food and
clothing. Not very pleasant life, but
the best the men of those far far off
days knew.
In a big cave on the shore of great
sea lived Strong-Arm, who was the
head of his clan, for he could kill a
wild pig with one blow from his club.
His only son was called Hadar, but the
lad was crippled from fall off rock
when a baby, so he could never run and
hunt with the other boys of this olden
time. He could only sit about the shore
and try to fashion things with his stone

This discovery gave the boy an idea.
IHe would melt this stone, fashion the
iron into a spear-head and with this,
which would not break, he would be
more powerful than anyone else. Other
spears had points of stone that broke
easily. So, hidden in the rocks he he
when the iron was melted, shaped It
Into long, sharp point for his spear:
Now, IL happened that the country
was overrun by an immense wild boar
that killed all that came in Its way,
for the stone points broke against Its
tough hide and the hunter was then
helpless. Even Strong-Arm, who went
forth brayely to XIII IT, was b brought nrsa

loud grunts, but little Hadar never
fiinched. He stood just in front of a
tall rock, and as the boar dashed to-
ward him, he stopped and rested the
blunt end of the spear against the
stone, while at the other he pointed
straiGht at the heart of the beast that
came charging a full speed.
The boar hit the spear and it did
not break. Instead the iron point
drove down deep and straight into its
heart, and with groan 1t fell dead at
the boys feet. With wild shouts of JOY
the people rushed up and placing the
lad on their shoulders, bore him in
triumph to the caves. And here the
prettfest girl met him with a smile of
gladness, for she had always loved the
little cripple. With one voice the men
cried that he must be their chief and
teach them to make spears
So Hadar became the great man who
taught the wild people to melt iron and
make weapons with which to fight the
