with the same shade OF gold satin.
Many OF the coats. however, like

interior under a sedate and drab eN-

coats adorned solely with self-toned

Grass in Paper.Makinu.

In England there is large use Of a
Spanish grass called esparto as di-
luent for rag paper stock in making
fine white papers. As far back as
1855 thistles were made into paper in
England. In 1888 autumn leaves were
made into paper in France. In 1928
corn husks were made into paper in
England, part of which furnished the
title-page for "Corbett's Treatise on
Corn" Corbett having grown the
corn. In 1889 spent tan bark was
made into paper in England. In 1854
an English patent was issued to Alex
ander Brown, a Scotchman, for the
making of paper from ferns. In 1862
stalks of maize and sorghum were
made into paper.

GET RICH IN navy
POSSIBLE FOR ENLISTED MEN TO
RETIRE WITH FORTUNE.
In Addition He Can Have Income OF
$1o4 Month for Rest of His Life
II He Has Served Thirty
Years.

There are other advantages to being
an American tar than having d wife in
every port, if we are to believe the con-
versation picked up around a recruit
Ing station. And, strangely enough, it
Is the idea of growing rich, one of the
thoughts furthest from the minds of
the ordinary man entering the navy,
which seems to be the greatest draw
ing card. At least that looms largest
in the minds of ting men who are doing
the recruiting. There Is a glamour to-
the tar's life, romance to his adven-
lures. Moreover, the chance to go
about the globe and see something of
foreign shores is alluring to many,
even though it is sandwiched in be-
tween endless decks to wash and eter-
nal brasses to polish. In the Harris
burg Telegraph recruiting officer tells
of the financial advantage of going into
naval service. 1t ought to appeal
greatly to the man who is without re-
sponsibility, and to whom the prospect
Of ever having stacked up $4,000 is
classed along with owning flying car
pet and other such tales of the unreal.
Our recruiting officer says:
do you want to retire at the age Of
fifty with $2S,788.70, and have an in
come of at least $104 a month for the
remainder of your life?
IF you do, join the United States
navy. g.
1.-The American sailors are the best
paid in the world, and after thirty
years of service the man-o -warsman is
retired on pay of not less than $104
a month, and, in addition, should have
saved $2S,7SS.70 from his monthly pay.
A young man enlisting at the age Of
eighteen as an apprentice seaman will
be paid SLIGO a month during six
months spent at training station and
receive an increase to 5000 a month
when he boards a ship. BY the end Of
his first enlistment, under ordinary
course of advancement, he should be
receiving $33 month, and meanwhile
he is Outftted with clothes and all ne
cessities. If he re-enlists within four
months after the expiration of his first
enlistment, he will receive a seven
dollar monthly increase in pay, and a
bonus of four months pay in addition.
If by the end of his second enlistment
he should have received good-conduct
medal (Which adds SO cents a month
to his pay), he should be receiving 500 !
month. After twelve years he should (
have reached chief petty officers pay
with a salary of $9962 month, and
thereafter his pay is increased with
each enlistment. Good-conduct and
other medals for meritorious services
also add to his pay. Under ordinary
courses, according to the figures fur
nished by the navy department, sailor
usually saves One-half of his paw:
which is deposited in the ships bank,
receiving 4 per cent interest. Thus,
beginning at the lowest level in the
navy and reaching the highest point
in the service as an enlisted man, after
the end of twelve years and continuing
in this capacity for sixteen years, the
average sailor retires after thirty
years of service with a pension of S1O4
a month, besides having the $4,000 or
more in addition.

A Wonderful Maze.

At Waltham, Mass, there is maze
which is duplicate of the historic one
in the gardens of Hampton Court pal
ace, near London. 1t is winding and
confusing group of paths, bounded by
high hedges; there are 1000 trees
which were planted in 1896. The to-
tai length of all the paths is about
one-third of mile, and the shortest
path to the central pool is about one
fifth of a mile. 1t sometimes takes
visitors more than an hour to find
their way to the center; sometimes
they give up and call for help in find
ing their way out.

confidently to the future for the growth

Journey and in getting the necessary

We had already begun to feel the
coming of spring after leaving the Ural
mountains near Orenburg, and as we
sped or rather crawled south and east
the snow disappeared and the air be-
came milder and balmier until as we
stepped out of the train at Tashkent
we were in the full glory of the early
spring. There are few lovelier sights
than the coming of spring after the
damp and unpleasant winter of Tur-
kestan.. There is hardly ever any wind
in Tashkent, and the calm day after
day is curious to the stranger within
its gates. The rain and warm wealth

soon everything is covered with deli
