How can the farmer best increase

other products. Men can not pay high
prices who do not earn high prices.

sell cheap. He who deprives his
neighbor of employment, must not
complain because that neighbor is un

quantity and at a good price. There

ufacture 1 For ei my years the rag met
all deniauds of tbo paper industry. The
increasing civcrcity of uses to which
paper r.ud paper pxrlp have been put in
tna last Cceado have made it necessary
for in an n facte re- re to cast about for more
effectivo elementary substances. Boots,
money, boats, gaj pipes, impermeable
cselrs, toys, bottles, pipes, floors, doors,
ceilings, architectural ornaments, roof
ing, chimneys and even complete fire
proof henses are now made of paper.
Many claim that it will eventually eup
plant wood, for it will neither crack
nor warp. It can be triturated, put un
der great pres-scro and snbjected to cer
tain chemical treatment and will then
take a high polish and will resist the ef
fects of fire better than any other ma
terial known. Paper is gradually sup
planting metal in certain lines. Loco
motive wheels have ben made of it for
several years, and even rails for rail
roads. The next progressive step will be
to use it for the manufacture of ord
nance, which is not by any means a re
mote possibility. Paper has largely tak
en the place of linen. We have paper
collars and cuffs and blankets. An in
genious inventor has devised paper
shirt bosoms, which can bo torn off like
the pages from a calendar, thus enabling
the wearer to have a clean shirt front
as often as ho desires. It is only a mat
ter of time before cloths, dressing gowns
and entire suits of clothes will be made
from paper. The soldiers of the Japanese
army wore paper trousers and jerseys
during their fumons winter campaign.
Wood pulp is the most effective sub
ptitute for rags in the manufacture cf
paper. Nearly every species of wood can
bo used. .Some kinds yield more than
others. .More pulp can be got from wil
low and chestnut than from walnut.
Different woods give various qualities
and effects. Aspen will yield a very
white paprr, but defective in solidity,
and is therefore mixed with fir. This
latter wood is most generally used. It
was first imported from the Black forit,
In Germany. The chief supply is now
obtained in Norway and Finland, in the
form of planks or poles, never exceeding
8 feet 7 or 8 inches.
For the last half crntury the world's
production f paper has increased ten
fold. In 1800 it was 221,000 metric
tons. The latest recent estimate was
2,000,000 metric tons. The European
niauufactr.ri.rs are suffering from a glut
in production. The price of paper has
fallen ouo thirrl, v, hile wages have dou
bled. The European plants are not so
progressive as those in this country.
They depend too much upon manual la
bor. In the United States the manufac
turers have substituted machinery for
band work, and as a result cf the do
crease in tho number of their employees
are enabled to pay high wages.
Attention has recently been called to
the utility of a little known species of
paper called the Loabab, or Acsonia.
It is made from the wood of the boabab
tree, which is a native of west Africa,
and is known there as the "monkey
bread tree. " It is found in Abyssinia,
Senegal and south of Coyo river. It is
of low growth and has a very thick
trunk. While it rarely attains a height
of 5 feet, tho trunk is usually 20 to 25
feet in diameter. Tho branches are pen
dulous and tear an edible fruit. The in
ner bark of this tree is very fibrous. It
is used for making superior wrapper pa
cers, which havo creat tenacity. When
the inner bark is stripped from tho tree.
a fresh growth supplants that taken
away, and in a couple of years the tree
is again in normal condition. Tho bark
is peeled off but once in four years.
The latest addition to tho paper in
dustry is a sanitary noto paper which
is claimed to bo germproof. It has long
been known that letters frequently
spread infectious diseases by means of
the germs that contaminate the paper,
An English firm bas produced a paper
which is impregnated with an antiseptic
substance which kills all germs that
mav come in contact with the paper. If
this paper proves to be what the proprie
tors claim, it is certainly a meritorious
invention and will become generally
used by hospitals and during the rage of
future epidemics.
Chinese and Japanese papers have
long been noted for their quality. It has
recently been ascertained, however, that
even finer grades are produced in Korea
One eminent authority states that "the
Korean paper excels the very Lest that
is made in China and Japan." It is
manufactured entirely by manual labor.
N6 machinery whatever is employed.
For the better grades the bark of the
Bronssonetia papyrifera is used. This is
gathered in the spring of the year. It is
placed in water, mixed with wood ash
es and is then beaten until it is reduced
to a thick pnlp, which is dipped out in
good sized ladies and spread out iu thin
sheets upon bamboo frames. A different
grade of paper is made from fragments
of bark, which are trodden under foot
in a manner similar to that employed in
the grape presses in some countries.
This process of making the pulp is very
tedious, but it possesses the great merit
of preserving the fibers intact and not
breaking them, as is done when ma
chinery is used. The pulp is then meta
morphosed into paper, and the sheets
are stacked up in piles six feet high and
cut into pieces. Then the piles of paper
are compressed by the stamping of feet.
The roots and seeds cf a pl.int called
tackpaul aro added to the pulp when a
grade possessing greater tenacity and
toughness is desired. Philadel phiu Rec

True Story of What Was Needed to Get a
Move ou Mr. Blank.
A iiretty girl living near New York
i3 affected with a largo number of would
be beaas, brt bas no use for any of
them. For one, in particular, Ehe had
less than no nse.
He showed up one evening in a bi
cycle suit, and while he sat in the par
lor with the pretty girl the pretty girl's
little brother sewed the bicycle cap firm
ly down to the corner of the hall table
and then dumped all the oil from the
caller's bicycle lamp. But Mr. Blank
never murmured while he picked the
6titcbes from his cap as he said good
night and walked the 2 miles home
without a complaint.
Of course the pretty girl thought that
Mr. Blank would never show np again
and gave little brother half a dozen bear
hugs as a reward for bouncing him. But
ten days later Mr. Blank appeared
again as if nothing had happened, this
time in evening dress with a silk hat.
It was an awful hot night, but little
brother was on deck just the same, and
a thin slice of limburger cheese went
under the lining of that hat before the
evening was ovpr.
Mr. Blank did not depart until 11:30
that evening, but nothing was ever heard
of the cheese. This time the pretty girl
and little brother made bets that Mr.
Blank would never call again, but Mr.
Blank did call again and with a smile
on his innocent, round face. At about
9:80 little brother strolled into the par
lor and walking up to the clock pushed

Crabs and Lobsters.
In selecting crustaceans the inexperi
euced housekeeper may be guided by a
few easily remembered points. Lobsters
that have not been long taken will re
spond to a pressure of the finger on their
eyes with a strong motion of the claws.
The heaviest are the best. The cock lob
ster, though generally smaller, has the
higher flavor, the flesh is firmer, and its
color, when boiled, is of a deeper red
than that of similar characteristics in
the hen. The male may be known by
his narrow, rather tapering tail, and
also from the condition of the two up
permost fins which compose it. These
in his case are hard and stiff, while
those of the hen aro soft, and the tail
fan is much broader.
The heaviest crabs are the best, and
those of a medium size sweetest. If
light, they are watery. When in perfect
condition, the joints of the legs are stiff,
and the body bas an agreeable smell.
Tho eyes, too, should look bright and
firmly set. When they have a dead ap
pearance ami seem loose, the crab is

Every one has noticed how, when a
large branch of a tree is cut off, small
branches will shoot out around the

these never come to maturity, but when
the tree is wounded or cut off or loses
some of its branches the reserve buds at

The Ladies Home Journal For 1897.
An even excellence makes the good
, hirgs which the Ladies' Home Jour
nal promises unusually interesting
and strong. The list is long and
sturdy. One series of papers alone
would sell the magazine; that is, the
three White House articles which ex
President Harrison is to write. No
man has ever done what General Har
rison will do in these articles; show
us what "A Day With the President
at His Desk" means in one article; in
another tell of "The Social Life of the
President," and in a third article des
cribe "Upstairs Life in the White
House." Each of the articles will be
profusely illustrated. Another series
equally fascinating is the one called
"Great Personal Events," in which
somo of the greatest enthusiasm j
which have occurred in America will
be revived: those wonderful times
when Louis Kossuth rode up Broad
way; when the young Princa of Wales
was here; when Jenny Lind sang in
Castle Garden: when Henrv Ward
Beecher electrified his congregation
by selling slaves in his pulpit; when
Grant went round the world; when
Henry Clay bid farewell to the senate;
when John Wesley preached in
Georgia, of which so few know. All
these memoreble events and others
will be vivid' v recalled: told mce
graphically than ever before, and il
lustrated with pictures which have
occupied twelve artists for over a
year. A third series is unique and
valuable from the fact that it will
give women scores of ideas for their
homes. It will reveal what there is
"Inside a Hundred American Homes"
completely-furnished rooms in homes
in this country from Maine to Cali
fornia where taste has gone farther
than money. Two new department
writers have aiso been exclusively en
gaged by the Journal Mrs. S. T
Rorer, who will hereafter have entire
charge of the domestic department
and give a series of cooking lessons.
and Dwight L. Moody, the famous
evangelist, who is to put the result of
his life study of the bible in a depart
ment entitled '"Mr. Moody's Bible
Class." The artist, Charles Dana
Gibson, who created the Gibson girl,
will present six full-page pictures
showing "The People of Dickens,"
while Alice Barber Stephens will al
tereate with Mr. Gibson and present
her idea of "Six Types of Ameiican
Womanhood," showing the American
woman in society, in religion, in
business, in summer, in the home,
and as a mother. Mary E. Watkins,
the New England writer, will revive
the old quilting-paity, the ancient
singing school and the apple-paring
bee in the "Pleasures of our Neigh
borhood." Sir Henry Irving is to tell
how to study, read and present
"Shakespeare in Small Communities."
Tosti, the song writer, will give his
first piano composition. Sir Arthur
Sullivan is to present the first true
and correct copy of "The Lost
Chord" ever printed in America.
Reginald DeKoven, John Philip Sousa
and Jakobowski,who wrote"Erminie"
have each written a walse, while Ira
D. Sankcy has composed a hymn
which he considers greater than the
famous "Ninety and Nine." Ian Mc
laren will have a story, while Herbert
D. Ward's humorous serial, "The Bur
glar Who Moved Paradise," will run
through the year, followed by Ham
lin Garland's new novelette, "The
Spirit of Sweetwater." Jenny Land's
daughter is to sketch "My Mother as
I Recall Her," while George W.Smal
ley is to show "The Personal Side of
Bismarck," and "The Personal Side
of the Prince of Wales" in two lav
ishly illustrated articles. Altogether,
ho magazines gives a list of attrac
tions so interesting and promising as
does the Ladies' Home Journal, and
certainly no periodical does it. as
does the Journal, for only one dollar
per year. If it has become a fad, as it
seems, for every girl and woman to
take this magazine, it is an excellent
one, and, unlike many other fads, a
sensible one. The Journal is pub
lished by the Curtis Publishing Com
pany of Philadelphia.
