Paper Clothing.

The latest idea Is clothing made of paper. A representative of large English firm of paper manufacturers states that they are at the present moment experimenting in the hope of producing kind of paper really suit. able for the making of clothes which can be sewn and hold buttons. "Pa. per towels are an excellent idea-these are made in Germany" he said. Pa per hats have been a fashion for some time Instead of wearing wash. able cotton sun bonnets and caps children can have each day new pa, per hat costing from two cents to twelve cents, which takes one item of the washing bill. Paper shirts are being produced at F cents apiece while the cost of paper handker- chief is two cents-the price Of the washing of linen one. In the house. hold, too, the washing bill can be largely reduced by using paper in. stead of linen, for now there are paper blinds--lace edged-paper serviettes. paper toilette mats. paper doilles, pa per table covers, while paper toweling could be adapted to kitchen use for tea cloths. dusters and similar arti- cles,

WHEN LIFE WEARS ITS CLOSE
Physical Changes That ParaIyze, in Varying Degree, the Mind and
 Limbs of the Aged.

One of the chief tragedies of oncom- ing age Is the increasing difficulty in moving about and in grasping new ideas. Limbs and wits both become less nmble and agile.
 It has now been discovered to what this condition Is due Certain sub. stances separate themselves from the gray matter of the brain and cause a thickening in the cells of that part of the brain lying under the frontal bone, forming gland.like body, which scientists call plaques" These plaques" are ray.shaped kernels, more or less irregular in form and ire quently assuming the shape of crys, tals.
 Just what substances cause the growth of plaques by segregation from the brain matter, scientists do not know But they do know that these substances are the substances which make for nimbleness, quick ness, ease of thought and movement. The fayorite place of the plaque. the front portion of the brain, is also the part of the brain which becomes dis eased, In cases of paralysis, 80 that some biological analogy exists be- tween difficulty of movement and speech and impossibillty of movement and speech.
 The plaques" are found chiefly in the rind of the brain. Very rarely they attack the spinal column If present in minute numbers. the per son attacked shows only the milder symptoms of old age. slowness of movement. fatigue, inability to under stand quickly. If presented in large numbers, senile dementia, one of the most horrible conditions into which the human body lapse, occurs
 They attack the intellectual and the dull-witted people alike in old age, for some of the brightest minds be come afflicted with dullness and ap. parent stupidity, even to senile de mentia iu some instances On the other hand, people who have always been ddli-witted, even illiterate, are afflicted ip a like manner so it can not be claimed the affliction Is due to an oYerworked brain.

Protect the Snake,

Accentuatng the idea in an editorial in The Sunday Star that birds should be protected as they are the farmers friends, and their destruction would be followed by the destruction ol the hu- man race, comes the suggestion that snakes should also be protect ed. This from the Record-H Herald Is instructive;
 Legislation to protect snakes that are harmless to man and destructive to rats, mice and other creatures ob. noxious to farmers Is being sought in several states, according to Prof. H. D, Bailey of Muhlenberg college. a Pennsylvania institution. In a recent lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced the king snakes, the milk snakes. the bute, the corn, fox and indigo snakes all valuable allies of the farmer and commended efforts to increase the number of bull snakes, which, though large, are harmless and abound in some western states,
 As mans knowledge of nature in creases, he finds many creatures useful or harmless to his interests, and he should act accordingly. Many snakes are benefactors of man, according to authorities, and once the instinctive dread of them disappears through knowledge and familiarity there is nothing objectionable in their pres ence.-Kansas City Star.

Mourning coIors.

When people who write for fashion publication" says a Vienna letter, have nothing more to say about queer-shaped hats. grotesque skirts and other equally important matters, they tell us that black Is going out and white Is to be the mourning color-if white may be so termed. This fashion news item may be looked for several times year. but black, sombre black, still maintains it's place, The band on the sleeve has done much to save money for those who still wish to wear a badge of mourning, but the sleeve band will never be white. The greater display of mourning is made with sta- tionery, the size of the cards and the depth of the black borders indicating what? There will be real mourning among the stationers when one may announce the death of a beloved one or tell of his good qualities on paper which is pure white"
