The School Election.
The annual school election will take place
today , and every voter who has the Interests
of the public schools at heart should show
It by his presence at the polls. Two mem
bers of the school board are to bo elected ,
and the nominees on the two tickets In the
Held are a follows : Democratic , Q. S.
Lawsou and A. T. EUvoll ; citizens' , Lucius
Wells nnd C. U. Walto.
Two propositions for now school buildings
will also bo submitted to the people. They
read as follows :
First Proposition Shall the board of di
rectors of the Independent school district of
the city or Council UlulTs. lit. , bo authorized
nnd directed to Issue bonds of the said dis
trict In the sum of 510,000or so much thereof
as shall bo necessary to construct a school
building upon the ground now owned by suld

Twenty-fifth utrf.ot , In this city.
Second Proposition Shall the bpard of
directors of the independent school district
of Council UlulTla. . , be authorized and di
rected to KSIIO bonds of the said district In
the sum of $10,01)0 ) or so much thereof us
shiill bo necessary to construct a school
building In the vicinity of the intersection of
Harrison street and Fleming avenue , or
Harrison street nnd lionton street , in this
city.Tho
The polling places in the various wurds
will bo the same an ut the municipal election
hold lust Monday. It Is probabtu that the
man who is doing the most work to secure
an election 19 Air. Lawson , wno Is doing
moro active hustling than the ether three
combined , and there Is not the slightest
doubt but that ho needs to , as there is a vast
deal of opposition to him. Ills re-election
will bo as bitterly opposed by democrat * as
by republicans , at his course during the past
thrco years while a member of the board
has fulled by a very largo majority to give
satisfaction. Thuro is no objection to 131-
well , other than that ho Is on the wrong
ticket , and ho will undoubtedly recelvo the
full democratic vote. Luwson will be
scratched and the name of Lucius U. Wells ,
the democratic nominee on the citizens'
ticket substituted. Heforo the democratic
convention was held , the party organ , the
Globe , declared in favor of non-
parlUanship In school matters , 'and
urged the nomination of a
democrat nnd a republican to 1111 the vacan
cies about to cccur , but this course was not
followed out by the convention , which nom
inated two democrits. The citizens' conven
tion , however , endorsed the idea , and nom
inated n non-partisan ticket , and that is what
they will endeavor to elect today.
Lawson was out all day yesterday ; In fact ,
he has been working hard the past thrco
weeks , and ho was accompanied by his two
allies , Messrs. Hunter and Hlaxsim. Those
two members are as anxious to secure L'uv-
non'i ro-eloction as Is Mr , Lawson himself ,
and they all put In the Sabbath , which was
the last day of gruco peddling election tick
ets nnd booming Lawson as if their very
lives depended on It. They passed
the afternoon In the Manhattan , where
they buttonholed such of the newcom
ers as they thought they could handle.
When not actually engaged In injecting
Lnwsonism Into n voter they wore holding
mysterious triangular caucuses in a corner ,
the result of which cannot bo told until after
the votes are counted. It is understood that
Lawson is malting all kinds of promises in
order to catch votes. It is certain that his
reckless promises are getting him badly
tangled up In the western part ol the city.
It is all on account of the new school build
ing that is to bo erected there. The loca
tlon U not yet determined upon and the citi
zens are not united as to which of the pro
posed sites shall bo chosen. The choice lies
between the Metcalt tract and a half block
owned by J. W. Squires. Residents on the
north side of Uroadway want it on the Met-
calf tract and the south sidurs want it over
there on the Squire tract. Now then , In
order to catch the votes of both sides , Lawson -
son bus been making some disjointed
promises. Ho tolls the north sldsrs that if
ho is elected ho will see that the Motcalf
tract is selected , while bo assures the south-
sidcrs that the selection of the Squire tract
can only bo brought about by electing him
for another three years' term on the school
board. How ho can reconcile these promises
is a matter of conjecture , but it apparently
gives him little concern , as what ho is fish
ing for Just at present is a few votes.

"A. Oonu no Itovlvnl. "
The Rev. S. F. Patterson , the 'noted ro-
vlvalist , occupied the pulpit at the First
Uaptlst church at the morning hour yester
day and preached the opening of n series of
revival sermons that are to bo delivered at
the church each evening this week. Despite
the very inclement weather , thp attendance
was large , and the minister's eloquent dis
course awakened a deep interest. His sub
ject was "A Genuine Uovival , " and his text
forms a part of Hubakkuk's prayer after
Israel had boon la captivity about thlrty-ilvo
years , when their interest in God's service
had docllund , many of them having become
idolaters and when there was u general in
difference to religious observances.
The speaker said u genuine revival is a
genuine awakening of the church and n gen
uine conversion of souls. The word revive
moans to reanimate , ronow. Revivals are
not confined to particular seasons of the
year , nor to particular communities. There
Is a need of revival when there Is an absence
of brotherly love among Christians. A re
vival is needed when '
the sins of God's people
ple become a reproach to the cause of re
ligion. Tbo sins which appear most promi
nent In the church are covntoousnoss and
sinful associations.'A revival is needed when
sinners appear unconcerned about the mat
ter of salvation. There is not a community
in the northwest where there is not a largo
number of sinners practically otitsUo of the
roach of the churches , and there has never
been a tlmo since the days of the Hood when
sinners were moro careless about their sal
vation than In this evening of the nineteenth
century.
Revivals are of great value to the cause of
religion on account of the great worlr they
accomplish. A very largo proportion of the
membership of the Christian church were
converted In tltnus of revivals , and were It
not for these special efforts to save sinners
thousands would go down to death unsaved
every year who could have boon saved
through revival effort. Many Christians
look with horror upon the utterances of
llbcralms but at the same tlmo question the
advisability of special efforts to bring about
revivals , Thu sermons of Henry Ward
Uuocher nnd Prof. Swing , and others of
their school of theology , uro looked upon us
dangerous heresies , but that skepticism
which questions the Importance of true
gospel efforts to promote revivals is n moro
dangerous heresy thaa over catno from
Uoecher or Hvvlng.
In the times of President Flnnoy. when
great revivals prevailed la various portions
of the country , there was considerable dis
cussion about the advisability of special
effort for revivals , and much opposition to
them. They were discussed biforo presby
teries uml association * to the Injury of the
work. Mr. Ftnney once Indignantly ox-
'claimed ' : "There is a Jublloo in hell every
tlmo these association * incut" 1 was once
present at a pastor's meeting when thuru
was a discussion about the advisability of
securing the aid of an ovangalUt to lead
the churches and pastors In special efforts
for a revival. The doctors of divinity do-
uUireil thcuitolvos opposed to any suoh uiovu-
incnt unlcsMho evangelist would work along
the same liuo that the pastors worked. I
teen occailou to lays 'Troihrcu , accord
ing to the most reliable Information
I can obtain them are 40,000
pcoplo In this city , nnd not to exceed
B.OOO Chrlfttlnns of nil evangelical denomina
tions. Thirty-eight thousand pcoplo nro
therefore In sin and darkiicss , and n largo ,
proportion of thorn nro practically outsldo of
the roach of the churches. In vlow of these
facts I am In favor of tfolng ou side of the
lines. "
A Sunday service may nwaken the Dinner ,
but before another Sunday comes urond ho
Is likely to lo.no tnoso Impressiont , nnd ether
Sunday service. * are not likely to make the
same Impressions again , nnd ho becomes
harder than before. Thus the ordinary serv
ices harden sinner * and in many Instances
place them beyond the reach of the gospel.
In n revival meeting ono tolling Impression
Is followed by another uutll the sinner Is
brought to n decision. The people to whom
Christ preached most frequently bccnmo
gospel hardened. It is In accordance with
nil oxDorlonco that pcoplo living in commu
nities that have not been favored with gos
pel privileges readily accept Christ when
special efforts uro niado among them , while
those who have boon tnvorod with regular
church services are very hard to roach. A
very largo proportion of the church were
converted before they reached the aeo of
twonty-flvo. Unless there are frequent re
vivals In u community the young people are
soon hadonod in sin nnd to the gospel ,
and outsldo of Its roach. There is no other
way but by revivals that n church can grow
m grace. Nothing else will save u declining
church from annihilation. Revivals are promoted
meted by the personal consecration of God's
pcoplo , nnd by the pravora of the consecrated
crated Christians unitedly and m set-rat.
They nro promoted by the co-operation ot
pastors and churches In organized efforts
to save sinners. The newer of the
pulpit never hold un audlcnco long at a
time. There must bo ether work connected
with It. There must bo organized edort to
bring people to the house of God. Revival *
nro promoted by the personal sacrifices of
God's ' people ; by the faithful preaching of
the gospel ; by the implicit obodlonco of God's
peoplo.
An instance of the utility of nbndicnco Is
the brilliant nchlovemontsof the troops under
Sheridan at Winchester. The general was
nt Winchester , twenty miles axvay , when ho
heard of the demoralization of his army in
the Shcnandouh valley. After his famous
ride ho flow along tno column for two miles ,
shouting as ho dashed along , "Come on ,
boys ; wo will camp tonight whore wo camped
last tiliriit. " Chcor uftor cheer rolled up as
they followed him nnd whirled the rebel
army down the valley and did camp that
night where they camped the tilghl before ,
When wo uo forward with such persistency ,
consecrated to God , tlio , victory is surely
ours. The flro has begun. Lot us chariro
on the enemy in tno name of the Lord of
Hosts.
Mr. Pnttorson is a very earnest speaker-
and impresses the listener with his stroni :
sincerity. His meetings each evening this
week will no doubt draw lurco audiences.
V/HIOH GIRL ?
Now York Lodger : Louis "Wortlilng-
ton sal behind tbo closed doors of his
newly acquired oillco and strugplud
with his thoughts. How full of hope
seemed this great wealth that had cotno
to him so unexpectedly , after a yoath
of mere compotencol And yet the con
dition ! No ono dreatnodof a condition ,
not even his mother. When his old
uncle had died suddenly and on the
reading1 of the will it was discovered
that Lou is was solo'hoir , every ono felt
that ho must be happy. Hero he was
in possession of Ihe great iron mills and
other properties , which every ono had
expected would go to charities , since
old Mr. Worthington had always pro
fessed the greatestdisliUo for his broth
er's widow and her son. There was no
disappointed relative to inaleo Louis'
life a burden , and how could ho help
being content ? But they did not know
the coii touts of that awful letter the
lawyer had handed him , marked : "For
my heir to bo opened immediately
lifter my death. " A few instructions
as to the mill business , a deal of advice
as to his general conduct in lifo , the
grimly characteristic reason for his
magnilicent bequest , that if the ' 'last
Worthington could bo saved from going
to the dogs , so much the better , " and
then this dreadful sentencethat seemed
to stand out in letters of lire as Louib
gazed on the blank olllco wall :
"And for all this , only ono condition. If
in six months vou are not engaged to be
married , and in ono year are not married , I
shull expect you , on your honor as n Worth
ington , to divide my property between the
state reform school and Harvard university ,
for 1 don't believe a man can bo successful
in lifo unless ho has n smart wife bofoi-o ho
is twenty-six or seven.'J
"A smart wife ! " And his nephew
thought of the poor little married
woman ho dimly remembered as Aunt
Susan. A smart wifol What a Yankee
his uncle had boon ! And wus not that
like him too , that ho , a Connecticut
man born and bred , should leave his
money to Harvard , in case of his
his nephew's defection ? And ho had
known it would bo doubly bitter for
Louis , who had such innate love for his
own Alma Mater , Yalo. But how could
ho fall in love to order ? Ho was far
too honorable to think for nn instant of
marriage without lovo. And yet it
would almost break his mother's heart
to give up tlio fortune she had so prized
for her boy. And , being a hoalthy-
minded American young man , ho had
no spoc'al desire to give U up , himself.
At lo ; st ho need not toll hot- yet , and
ho must try to lind some girl ho could
care for , So , sitting at his uncle's old
desk , ho thought over all the girls ho
could remember in his boyish days , me
chanically writing their names on a
great shoot of business paper. After
his college lifo ho had travelled two
yearj abroad us tutor boar loader , ho
ttlwas nailed it in college phrase of a
western youth. Ho had enjoyed these
years , for the boy was bright , but now
the latter had como homo for college ,
and just as Louis was looking for anoth
er position his uncle diod. So ho could
have only childish recollections of
Train ville , where ho hud seldom spent
a college vacation , nnd finally his list
narrowed down lo throe :
Virginia Ulaok.
Mary Crawford.
Jessie Uancroft.
Those ho know to bo refined and edu
cated girls. Ho did not think of en
larging his list by girls outsldo of
Tralnvlllo , for he did not know of one
who might (111 ( the place ho wished ; and
why should ho go elsewhere , anyway ?
One of thotio girls would do as well as
any.
any.He fiat some tune longer in thought ,
then tore up the shoot of papur , left the
olllco and walked rapidly homo. Ho and
his mother still occupied the old liousb
until the larger ono fiis undo had built
should oo thoroughly refitted and ready
for them. His mother was only too glad
to see him homo early , and they oat
down in the shabby llttlo veranda that
held so many childhood remembrances
for Louis. After u llttlo desultory talk
the latter mild :
"But I haven't half asked after my
old schoolmates , mother. V'horo are
Allen Bontou and Dick White ? It's
fully a your since I hoard from either. "
When shohnd given him all thonows
she could of the bovs , ho added oh ! so
carelessly :
"And the girls ? Virginia Black-
whore is she ? Saucy as ever ? "
"Virginia ? Why. she married a year
nnd a half ago. I thought I wrote you.
A Now York man u really low character -
actor , I thought. "
"Too Imdl'1 ho answered , svinpathot-
ically. Inwardly groaning : "tine chance
gene ! " After a moment ho inquired :
"And Mury Crawford ? "
"O she is still here and a very prptty
t'irl ; modest aud sweat us she always
I was. I do think she ii ns nice u girl as I
ever knew. " ' *
A good mark wont down for Mary nnd
then "
"Jesslo nancroflv !
"Her futhor is United Slates congress
man from our district' now , you Know ,
nnd they live in Washington , not even
spending their summers here. She's
is very bright nnd attractive , I believe ,
thougn 1 haven't s ) oi > her lately. "
Was his list to contain but ononame , ?
Ho must make one more effort.
"Aren't there any howcomorsV Who
has the Bancroft place ? "
"That is closed ; but there is oni very
interesting now family horc the
Chostors at the old Goodwin place.
There nro three of the children. Glndys ,
Dot and Joe. Gladys is twenty-two or
three ; Dot perhaps nineteen J don't
know if she is quite ; nnd Joe fifteen.
They nro all very pleasant. Mr. Ches
ter manages the cotton mills across the
river from your uncle's yours , I moan.
They were rich once , I am told , but
through somebody or other's rascality
lost all their property and now have
onlv " his salary. Gladys fairly leads
tho"town in everything wakes it right
up. "
His mother loft to superintend the
evening meal , and as ha smoked an In
troductory cigar ho meditated. Mary
or Gladys ? He rather liked the dash
of the latter , but very evidently his
mother would prefer the former. Fi
nally ho gave it up with a sifh and
wont in to supper. In accordance with
Louis's custom , the meal was , in all but
name , dinner , hut ho could not conquer
village prejudice enough to call It that ,
so they hud breakfast , luncheon and
supper , and Louise mischoviouslv com
plained that ho had only had dinner
twice since he had bcon home Sun
days when it was allowable to have it
late.
late.Whon
When the meal was done he sug
gested to his mother n walk over to the
Choslcrs' .
"I mustn't bo so uunoighborly , " ho
said. "Thoy will think I have forgot
ten my manners. It isn't very far. "
So they wont. It wa ? still light , for
the cnlllng-timo at Trainvillo wus at
7:30 : , nnd on this July evening itscomcd
very early. As they came in sight of
tho'Chcstors Louis whistled long and
low with astonishment.
"Ye gods and little fishes ! Tennis in
Trainvillo ! Didn't supp'oso they'd overheard
hoard of it. Well , I haven't been down
this road before , but I have about every
ether here , and I'll wager it's the only
sport in town in village would , per
haps. bo bettor. "
"Yes , " answered his mother. "I like
to see them myself , but some people do
think it's a little rompy for girls. "
If those "some" had only boon there
then ! It was near the close of nn exciting -
citing game. Thrco girls and a boy
made up the sot. and the gruco of the
former was well brought out by the
coltishncss of the latter , though his
nose in the game counted for much
moro than a-background.
When the Worthingtons opened the
gate the players stopped by mutual con
sent and then :
"Good evening , Mrs. Worthington , "
said Glady's fresh young voice. "Mam
ma will bo very gliul'to ' see you. "
uGood evening. " ' ' . "Good evening , "
came from the ether girls , while Joe
muttered , "Hoto do dp ? " in a sheepish
kind of way.
"Good evening , my dears , " replied
the good lady. "Will you allow mo to
present my" son Louis , Miss Chester
and Miss Dorothy ? Miss Crawford you
know already , Louis. ' ' And she bowed
in acknowledgment of the now nc-
quaintanco and the old.
"And this isJoo , , Chester , ' she
added.
Louis turned with a good-natured
smile.
"I am glad to know Joe , " ho said.
"I'm going to beat you at tennis many
a time , young man. "
This .roused Joe from his shy
silence.
"Humph ! " ho announced. "Guess I
can play some ! " and they all walked
toward the houso. Louis found himself
with Miss Chester , Miss Dorothy en
tertaining his mother , and Mary talk
ing with Joe.
"You must bo very glad to be back
horc , Mr. Worthington , " Gladys was
saying , "ovon though it is stupid after
Europe. "
"Stupid ! " he said. "I don't think I
ever put it in that light. 1 am very
busy in getting the hang of things at ,
the mills. And you see , it is years
since i could really fool I had mother
to myself. "
Gladys thought it vory.nico in him to
prize the companionship of his mother
so much , and doc dcd immediately that
she should like him. Mrs. Chester mot
them on the broad veranda , and Louis
found her charming. He remembered
the place as a rather shabby , big old
house , very plain outside and in , and
ho was agreeably surprised to lind it
with a great veranda around throe
sides"being elsewhere improved in pro
portion. Nothing was costly or ele
gant , but everything bore the impress
of rollnoment and artistic taste.
Mr. CHcstor soon came in , nnd Louis
found him f-.lly up to-tho family stand
ard. In person , Gladys "favored , " as
the phrase goes , her father , being tall ,
slender nnd dark , with a swift , easy
grace and dash that carried everything
before it. Dorothy every ono insisted
on calling her Dotty or Dot was not so
tall , but ns slender , nnd had n quiet ,
bright way that would doubtless rival
Gladys' brillancy in time to como. Joe
was a very fine sample of the average
dark-hairod and dark-oyod boy of his
ago. Mary Crawford was lighter than
the Cheaters , and very sweet in face
and manner.
Louis spent a very pleasant evening ,
and the next afternoon half-past four
found him approaching the Chosters
in tennis suit. The rest of the party
were on the lawn , , Joe and Gladys play
ing a cureless game- , while Dotty and
Mary tallied to Mrs. Chester. Mary
did not cure to play''and ' Louis found it
quite natural somehow to play with
Gladys. Ho was , $ rhud , boon , quite an
expert nt the game , but , although
Gludyfl played well ) Dorothy did remarkable -
markablo work fafchjgirl , and the game
was very even.yjon | at last the supper -
per boll rang Louis- - hud passed n de
lightful two hours , , ' ( xjid needed no urg
ing to promise tocome again soon.
Day uftor any ho played there , or they
all played at the Ciu.rt } , ho had had made
at tno "now placOi" as his uncle's house
was called. Mary .Crawford was always
of tno party , and often one or another
of the village youths , When it rained
they played quoits < in the Chostors'
barn. Joe discovered Hint , nftor nil.
Louis could boat him at tennis ornltnost
anything else ho suggested , nnd hence
forth looked up to him ns a model of
athletics nnd manliness in gen oral.
Thu days and weeks passed , but Louis
found it harder every hour to decide.
The sweet reserve of'Mury or the quick
wit of Gladys ? Uo would have chosen
the latter , perhaps , but for his mother's
evident preference for Mary. Dotty
surprised himmostof all , nnd was by
no moans un unimportant member of
the group ; she was so full of life in tha
tennis court nnd so quietly kept herself
in the background elsewhere.
Finally , about the llrst of September ,
the Worthingtons deoidodaa tholr now
homo wus ready for thorn , to glvo a
"houso warming. " Louis told hlmsolf
that ho must pottle the question that
night. Two months were gone , unrto \ \
must have soma time utter his wooing

and winning. Ho felt sure ho could
love cither but which ? The prepara
tions for the fete were extensive , as all
the mill hands his own and those from
the cotton mills were invited to n
grand supper on the lawn , while the
house was reserved for his own friends.
Ho liked the English way of
doing that sort of thing , and
did it in a very generous manner.
Ho had found , nftor all , that there
were ether eligible girls in Trainvillo ,
though ho had not turned toward any
of them with matrimonial views ; and
with those , their brothers , and a few
college friends , imported for the occa
sion , ho thought the affair might bo a
success. It was.
The night was glorious not moon
light , but with a multitude of stars.
The lawn was brilliant with Japanese
lanterns , and frequent fireworks de
lighted the younger and the older of
the mill pooplo.
After Louis had inaugurated their
supper with a mild toast drunk in lemonade -
onado , ns he wasn't tjuito English
enough to think beer good for ihom
ho felt at liberty .o join his ether
guests. These ho found enjoying the
liuo music of the city orchestra , and ,
for the most part , having thoroughly
examined the beautiful house , making
good ube of the melody for dancing.
After greeting again various people ,
Louis sought out the group where the
Ghostors and Mary Crawford were , and ,
after a few moments , asked Gladys for
a turn. Then Mary. Then ho would
have asked Dotty , but she was nowhcro
to bo seen.
"Where is Miss Dorothy'he ' asked
Gladys. The girl had told him once ,
with vehemence that amazed him , that
she hated to bo called Dotty.
"I'm sure I don't know , " answered
her sister. "I believe she had some
little mishap and mamma is probably
repairing it ; " nnd she swept away into
a wait/ with a smile at Louis.
But ho saw Mrs. Chester talking to
his mother. Ho really must ask Miss
Dorothy for a dunce , you know , but if
she was in the drobsing-room ho must
wait. Seeing every ono occupied and
apparently enjoying the music , ho wnn-
dorcd out to the only part of the grounds
ho had reserved for his special guests.
This was a lovely little nook naturally
inclosed by howthorno hedges , and ho
concluded it to be empty now. Very
good uluco to think. Which ? Ho was
as much nt sea as over , and wus walking
along disconsolately , trying , man-like ,
to ( hid some solution by plunging his
hands deep in his pockets , when ho
heard the unmistakable sound of sob
bing near him. Ho stopped abruptly
and then wont quickly toward the spot
whence the sound camo. Here was
Dorothy , sitting on a bench in an ubun-
don of grief.
"Miss Dorothy ! " ho cried , in alarm.
"Whut is 'it ' ? "
Dorothy jumped to her foot and
showed a rather distorted countenance.
As she nervously made little dabs at her
eyes , with a very moist handkerchief ,
she stammered :
"Oh , I didn't thinl : any ono would
como. I I am sorry , but I couldn't
help it. "
lie looked puzzled nnd was ut a loss
for words , when she broke forth with a
fresh woo :
"Ohlldid look forward so much to
this ! It's the first real dance I've over
been to , and 1 had n now gown and
everything. It's babyish to cry , I
know , " and she stnughtoned up de
terminedly "but I did feel so badly.
But I didn't toll you , did I ? The heel
came oil my slipper ! "
She hold out the blender foot in its
dross of creamy white , looking ,
certainly , a llttlo odd In a heollcss slip
por.
por."Why don't you send homo for
another ? " ho naked , much relieved.
"Why , I haven't any moro. Wo sen
to Now York for those. I couldn't put
on black ones , you know. If I stopped
logo homo , anyway , I shouldn't got
back. "
And she sat down again with quiver
ing lips. Louis felt fetrungely moved at
her incoherent recital , somehow , and
now ho sat down beside her. It Boomed
very natural to tuku the llttlo white *
gloved hand in his , and ho was quite
surprised when she drew thorn awuy ,
blushing.
"Why , what's the mutter ? " ho asked.
Then ho happened to think of homo-
thlngthat astonished him. "Why , I
love you Dorothy , " ho said. "Didn't
you know it ? Can vou care for mo.Dor
othy ? Toll mo , darling ? "
And Dorothy's confused answer wus
Riich thnt the condition , in old Mr. .
Worthlngton'B.wlll was guMallcd.
STRANGE USES OF PAPhR.

Paper is now made to servo for steel

A store in Atlanta. Georgia , has bcon

the skirting board , or ether parts of a
room , may bo neatly lillod by thor
oughly soaking newspaper in paste
made as thick as putty and forced into
the cracks with a paste-knife. It will
soon harden and can be painted.
Black walnut picture frames uro made
of paper and so colored that no ono can
loll them from the original wood. A
paper piano has lately been exhibited
in Paris. The entire case is made of
compressed paper , to which is given a
hard surface , a cream-while brilliant
polish. The logs , and sides are orna
mented with arabesques and lloral de
signs. Tno exterior , and as much of
the interior us can be seen when tlio in
strument is open , are covered with
wreaths and medallions painted in
miniature. An Italian monlc hits suc
ceeded in constructing an organ where
the pipes nro made of paper nulp. It
hus 1,400 pipes of various sixes. The
American Cottonseed Oil trust are now
running a mill ior mukintr paper from
the hulls remaining after all the oil has
been squeezed out of the cottonseed.
They are contemplating the erection of
a .100-ton mill for the sumo puruoso.
Those hulls have heretofore bcon con
sidered worthless. It has so far proved
so successful that the trust propose
erecting mills ut different points in the
cotton raising country. Of course , this
will somewhat revolutionize the paper
trade.
A now mill for the manufacture of
paper from moss has been recently es
tablished in Sweden. Paper of dilTor-
ont thickness and pastbrmrd made of it
have already boon shown , the latter
even in in shoots Uireo-quarturs of an
inch thick. It is as hard as wood , and
can bo easily painted and polished. It
hus all the good qualities , but none of
the defects of wood. The pustbourd can
bo used for door nnd window frames
architectural ornaments nnd all kinds
of furr.ituro. The coiKng of the aFsom-
bly chamucr nt Albany , N. Y. , is mudo
of pupier-muche. It is a model of its
kind , nnd appears so like marble as to
deceive the most expert oyo. The latest
idea is to use paper instead of wood for
load pencils , by using a patent prepara
tion by which it can be cut us easily us
ho softest wood.
