1t Is well to say right here that 1t will
pay any one to purchase the very best

Atoms Lived EaaIe.

1t has been tradition from time
lmmem0rfal that the eagle renews Its
strength when very old 1t mounts
aloft until 1t comes very near the sun
when, scorched by the heat, 1t throws
itself into the sea, whence 1t energies
full OF renewed vigor.
Such have supposed that the passage
in Psalms Gill, 5, Thy youth Ia re.
newed like the eagles" alludes to this
old fable. But the more probable fact
Is that 1t refers to the strength and
vigor which characterize the eagle even
In old age
A couple of years ago large speci-
men Of eagle was shot on the fjord by
the city of Nakskov, Denmark. Around
its neck was fastened a small chain to
which was attached sealed bottle.
On opening the bottle O note was found
written In Danish, which translated
reads as follows: Caught and again
made free by N. and G. Anderson in
the year 1892"

PULP FOR PAPER.
II 10 Now Mainly Obtained From Wood
and Vegetable Fibers.

and Vegetable Fibers.
Paper derives its name from the fact
that 1t was originally made by the
Egyptians from papyrus, rushlike
plant formerly common in Egypt along
the Nile. Today paper is largely made
from vegetable fibers and celluIose.
When it was found that the fibers
OF the cotton and fax plants were best
adapted for making paper and the
uses Of paper were few the ragman
did a 1ourishing business in buying
old rags to keep the naper manufac-
turers supplied with raw material
The rags were first allowed to rot to
remove the substances incrusting the
cellulose and were then beaten into q
pulp to which water was added. The
pulp was then placed In a sieve and
drained and subjected to heavy pres
sure which united the .fibers and pro,
duced paper. T. By the. modern method
the rags are boiled with eaustic soda,
which separates the cellulose fibers,
and placed In a machine In which roll
ers set with knives tear the rags to
pieces and mix them with water to
make a pulp. This pulp is bleached
with chloride of lime and mixed with
alum and kind of soap to give a
smooth surface.
The way mans discoveries operate
to supply his needs In the progress of
civilization is notably illustrated I'm the
production of paper Under the old !
method the big supply required today
for newspapers and other uses could
not have been produced
The discovery that pulp could be
made from the trunks and limbs of
trees came to the rescue. 1t was found
that by boiling wood shavings In
strong solutions of caustic soda in re-
,eptacles that would withstand very
high pressure the wood fibers were
and very good quality Of
,ellulose for paper manufacture pro- {
1uced. AS result Of this discovery ]
paper today is mostly made of wood

Lotteries for the purpose Of raising
money for the state have never caught
on in England. But for definite ends
of semistate character, such as build
ing canals or founding a British muse
um. sanction has been readily granted.
Our first recorded lottery is that Of
1880, when the prizes were pieces Of
plate, the chances 1000 for 10 shil-
lings each and the desirable object the
maintenance Of harbors But, once
familiar grown, lotteries corrupted the
ancient virtues OF John Bull, and by
the time OF Queen Anne the state step
ped In and suppressed every private
lottery as a public nuisance. By an
act passed IN 1923 sanction was given
to particular lottery, and that was
the last At the same time all sale Of
tickets for home or foreign lotteries
was orbidden.-LOndon Tines.

the corn and filling their silos. This

Rodin and His ModeIs.

1t is one of the peculiarities Of NJ
Rodin, the famous sculptor, that he
never poses a model When a model
enters bis studio he engages her In
conversation upon subject foreign to
art and thus encourages her to forget
herself. Meanwhile his attention ap-
pears to be engrossed elsewhere, but
he is watching her keenly. When the
model unconsciously assumes q pose
or an expression which be believes
would be effective he bids her hold
that position, while he sets to work.
By this method be believes be avoids
stilted and studied poses.
