were first allowed to rot to re. move the substances encrusting the cellulose and were then beaten into a pulp to which water was added. The pulp was then placed in a sieve and drained, and subjected to heavy pressure which united 1he flores and produced paper. Ky the mod ern method the rags are boiled with caustic sola, which separates the cellulose flores, and placed in a machine in which rollers set with knives tear the rags to pieces and mix them with watrr to make a pulp. This pulp is bleached with chloride of lime and mixed with alum and a kind of soap to give a smooth surface.

 Anyone having a cat or dog may purchase lot in that unique ceme- tery and provide their animal pets with last resting place, with the assurance that their graves will be kept green.
 The members of a society of dog fanciers in New York are try ing to get a bill through the Leg islature to permit them to receive funds in trust to maintain a dog cemetery, erect monuments and keep green the graves of pets. It is reported that the dog fanciers plan to establish the dog cemetery at Hartsdale, and that several mil lionaires and women of society are behind the project.
 Many dog heroes of European battlefelds lie in honored graves dug in the blood-stained soil of the warning nations. These animals pets of the soldiers, were killed in the performance of their duties as helpers of the Red Cross. They were mostly shepherd dogs, train ed to do sentry duty and to find wounded soldiers. They would To. cate the helpless sodiers, carry their caps or helmets back to the hospital workers and then lead the latter to the wounded.

WHY OLD SHOES ARE
 THROWN AFTER BRIDES

Why do widows wear caps? It is because when the Romans were in England they introduced the cus- tom of shaving the head as sign of mourning. Of course, women couldn't let themselves be seen with shaved heads, so they made them selves caps. Though the custom has passed, the caps remain.
 Why do ladies break a bottle of wine on the ship they are christen- ing? The real reason is enough to make your blood curdle. In the days of. sacrifice to the gods, it was customary to get some poor vic- tim when boat was being launch ed and to cut his throat over the prov, so that his blood baptized it.
 Why do We throw shoes after brides The reason is scarcel y complimentary. From time immem-  orial it has been the custom for parents to chastise their children with a shoe; and from this the cus- tom arose of the father and the bride making present of a shoe to the bridegroom as sign that it was his right to keep her in order.
 Lastly, why do We shake hands :? To show our friendship, nowadays: but not in the days or yore. When our forefathers were all fighters they seized each others right hand during a pause in the duel to prevent a treacherous blow!

A LETTER FROM MEXICO.

Dr. Anna Brown is in receipt of letter from her son Ben Sher- man, who is located on ranch at Espanola, New Mexico, where he is recuperating from severe attack of la grippe which left him with eye trouble of a somewhat serious nature, but from which he is slowly recovering. The letter reads in part as follows: "Yes. We are having trouble here, sol- diers are going to Mexico by the train loads every day. I am right on the Rio Grande river, which separates New Mexico from Old Mexico, but there is no danger here. You know that 1 belong to the militia band and in case of war I shall have to go, not to fight but to take care of the sick and wounded. We have drills and prac- tice every night while 1 was in Santa Fe."
 While the rest of the letter is of a personal nature it is plain that the people in that part of the country are seething with the un- rest of warlike conditions which exist there.

HOW PAPER IS MADE OF WOOD

Paper derives it's name from the fact that it was originally made by the Egyptians from papyrus, 9 mush-like plant formerly common in Egypt along the Nile. Today pa- per is largely made from vegetable flores and cellulose.
 When it was found that the flores of the cotton and flax plants were best adapted for makirr pa per, and the uses of paper were few, the ragman did hourishing business in buying old rags to keep the paper manufacturers sup piled with raw material. The rags

little ones are given pet name at their birth, and these they bear until they are 10 years old, after which they are no longer used. After her 10th birthday the young woman is known as "Mr. Kim's daughter" or "Mr. Kim's girl baby" The latter title is considered the more honorable.
 If there are several daughters in the family they are distinguish ed by such words as ''big" (for the eldest)' second" "third" and fourth" etc. After marriage they are known by their husbands name and title, with the word "house" affixed. They may also be dis tinguished by the name of the place they came from when marry ing, as "Mrs. of the House of Kim. the young lady who came from Kong Jo."

 This discovery that pulp could be made from the trunks and limbs of trees came to the rescue. It was found that by boiling wood shaw ings in strong solutions of caustic soda, in receptacles that would withstand very high pressure, the wood flores were separated, and a very good quality of cellulose for paper manufacture produced. As 9 result of this discovery paper to- day is mostly made of wood.
