Cotton Made troin Wood.
Consul Mahin, of Beichenberg, quotes
on account in a local newspaper of a
process for making artificial cotton
from the wood of the fir tree. The
wood is reduced to thin shavings, which
are placed in a. washing apparatus. ex-
posed to the influence of steam for ten
hours. They are then subjected to a
strong preparation of sodium lye, and
are heated under great pressure for 36
hours. The wood is now changed to
pure cellulose, and to git c this a greater
resisting power some castor oil, caffeine
and gelatin are added. The substance
is then put into an apparatus and made
into threads. The article concludes:
“Artificial cot'ton can be produced so
cheaply that the genuine article can
hardly compete with it, and one cannot
say that it is a sham, for it is com-
posed. exactly as is the natural cotton,
of pure cellulose."

QUEER POSTAL SERVICE
That of Havana When the Uni-ted
Staten Took Charge 01 ,
Its System.
Under 'the Spanish system the letter
carriers Ieceived their pay by charging
from three to five cents, and sometimes
more, for every letter they delivered.
It took only a day or two to have that
system abolished in Hanvana, much to
the relief of the merchants. The ear-
riers were put on salaries equivalent to
that which they Were supposed to earn
by the assessment method they were per-
mitted to use under the former regime.
The carriers under the Spanish sys-
tem not only charged for the delivery
of mail matter, but they rifled letters
freely, and made money by ' stealing
stamps from mail matter and selling
them. The letters and other grades of
mail matter would be forwarded with-
out stamps, and the carrier at the other
end of the route would collect not only
for delivery, but for the stamps that
had been stolen. There was simply an
unparalleled looseness in the conduct
of post office business, and every man
scemedto have license to steal wherever
he could. Even newspapers would be
stolen from bundles and sold for what-
ever could be got for them.
Another form of corruption was evi-
dent when the salary lists were ex-
amined. There was no scale of salaries.
In one city a postmaster would receive
twice the salary that the postmaster of
alarger city received. Salaries seemed
to be arranged on the “pull” plan, with
the possibilities of division with the 11p—
pointing power afterward. "Places that
under the liberal payment of the United
States would rate at $1,500 a year were
worth frequently as much as $100011

THE REPORTORIAL SCOOP.
I-Io'w It Was Worked on a St. Lama
Scribe by a Conscienceless
Contemporary.
A reporter named Jones on a daily in
St. Louis was detailed to interview the
governor of another state, who had
slipped into the city on a secret political
mission, says the San Francisco Argo—
naut. He learned to his disgust that
Jackson, the star reporter of a rival
sheet, also proposed to call in an hour.
Acting on inspiration, he sent up a card
bearing Jackson’s name and was
promptly admitted. When he had
learned all he wanted he asked, with
gross intentional impudcnce, whether
the information was really true.
The governor turned purple.
question my “011”” he asked.
“Oh, don’t get gay!” replied Jones
airily; “common governors out no ice
with my ofiice.”
The old man foamed at the mouth.
“You insolent scoundrel,” he roared,
“get out of my room!” That was ex-
actly what Jones wanted and he went.

Presently Jackson show . “Here,
boy, ’-’ he said, pompous" y, utake my
card to the goi ernor.’ What the old
man looked at the pasteb'oard he nea11y
expired. “The blankety-blanked in-
famous villain!” he ‘spluttered. “I
never heard of such blankety-blanked
effronery in my life! Tell that mis-
creant if he or anybodylelse from his
infernal paper comes up here I’ll kill
’em!” Theword was carried to Jack-
son, who went away rav.ing Next day
the paper intimated the governor was
in town on a bender. Jones’ paper had
a capital interview and a big “ scoop.’
FIRE SERVICE IN ENGLAND.
The Force Employed In London In
Only Half as Large us That
of Paris.
- The British towns seem to have the
smallest number of paid firemen of any
cities in Europe and America, says Mu-
nicipal Affairs. The London fire brig-
ade has about 800 men, about the same
number as Berlin, which has only a.
fourth of the population, and less than
one-half the size. of the Paris corps.
Glasgow has but'lOO men to 800,000 pop-
ulation; Leeds but 33 to 400,000 people,
and Sheffield 22 men to a population of
350,000. Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff.
Norwich, Bromley and other towns
have no separately organized fire de-
partment, the work of suppressing fires
being performed by the regular police
force. The expendituresfor fire protec-
tion are on a similarly unimportant
scale. Thus Leeds spends ‘lecs than
$5,000 a year, and Shel-field less than
$10,000 a. year; Preston, with a popula—
tion of 113,000, reports only $1,500 spent
for its'fire brigade, and Norwich, with
1130.000 population, only $750 a year. A
few towns, however, show a somewhat
larger range of expenditures. Glasgow
and Liverpool each annually expend 1n
the neighborhood of $75.000——about ten
cents per capital—and propertimmto
amounts are expended by Edinburgh,
Dublin. Belfast and Selford. The Lon-_-
don brigade costs about $950, 000, hr 29
cents pe1 capita. But even these excep-
tional instances are below the per cap-
lta expenditures for fire protection in
other European cities of the same size.

at the same hour every evening for a pe-

Mme. Martellet’s husband took the dog
to Auteuil to be buried, and found some
workmen engaged in digging out anew
street. The faithful dog was buried by
the men, and the street in which the
animal’s remains were laid is called the
Rue de Musset.
