Time Wasted In mournlno.


Every day see certain fellow sit
ting on the bank of the stream and
mourning for the water that has
passed. He fails to realize that he
can never grind his grist that way.
He started out to be q colonel, but
corporal was as far as he got, 80 he
quit. He fails to realize that there
would be q whole lot more satisfac-
ton and money in being a good cor
poral than in crying on the banks Of
q stream because he couldn't be .
colonel. II the good Lord intended
him to be q colonel he will get there
some day-but not by sitting in the
corner and crying. The colonies arc
made Of the fellows Who were the best
corporals. and no one should keep that
fact in mind more than the corporals.
But the mourner sits and sits and
gazes patheticclly down the stream
ut the water disappearing around the
bend. You know and know. but he
doesn't. It never returns.-<ansas

Dishonesty Rare In China.

Dishonesty Rare In China.
The Chinese are said to be the
most honest people in the world in
their business relations. They keep
their word whether expressed in writ.
ing according to printed formula or
spoken by the lips, and so loyal are
they to the honor of the family that
the son performs the pledges Of the
father who may have failed from mis-.
fortunte or death. However hard
they may regard the bargain, how
ever convenient and truthful might
be the plea Of failing business these
yellow people despise such sophistries
and keep their word.

Trick Of the Orator.

Disraeli. whose eloquence Lord Cur
Gon ranks below that of Gladstone,
tried hard to give his hearers the i'm.
preston that he was not in the habit
Of preparing his speeches. Discussing
Plunket's oratory with Disraeli, Lord
Granville remarked that the Irish
statesman hesitated so long for a
word that he seemed to be on the point
Of breaking down. Lord bless you,"
Disraeli exclaimed. did that take you
in? Why. that is part of the trick. I
have often done 1t to make it appear
that my speech has not been pro-
pared"

MAKES GOOD CORD AND ROPE
Formation Of Marketable Products
From Wood Pulp 10 q New In
dustry In Europe.

An industry which has attained con-
siderable importance in Europe, 10 the
making Of cord and rope from wood
pulp. These new ropes are twisted
out Of thin threads made from the
pulp. At the present time these dig
enous fibre ropes are used more or
less extensively in the foundries Of
Germany. The fine threads which
make up these ropes are made by
forcing the chemically-treated wood
pulp or cellulose through very line
tubes with running water. in which
they harden.
After they are dry they are perfect
ly pliable and somewhat elastic, and
may be spun or twisted into any
form whatever. These minute elong-
ated threads are caught up as they
are forced through the fine tubes and
spun into ordinary silken threads.
which are woven into . fabric resem-
bling silk.
A French inventor discovered that
paper may be cut into narrow strips
several millimeters wide, and that
after these have been stepped in Ger
tain chemicals which give them tenac.
fty and durability, they may be rolled
and twisted into threads. which may
be worked UP into fabrics of various
kings and put to q great variety Of
uses.
Another rench chemist has discov.
cred . way to make such fabrics, -
we'll - ordinary paper waterproof.
and q German inventor has produced
