Core an Paper The statement Is made by a writer in the Apotbeber Zeftung that a remarkable kind of paper is produced in C??rea entirely by manual labor and without the use of machinery. Its quality excels that of the very best made in China or Japan. The raw material used for this paper Is obtained from the bark of Broussouetia papyrifera. which is collected In the spring and beaten in water containing a large admixture of wood ashes, until reduced to thick pulp: this is taken In large ladles and spread upon frames of bamboo. and in this way formed into thin sheets. Another kind of paper is produced from old scraps trodden into nnlrv much in the same wav that trrane juice is expressed in some countries? a process of pulping which, though slow, has the advantage of not breaking the fiber so much as when machinery is used; then, after rhe pulp has been made into paper, the sheets are piled up to the height of six feet and cut Into pieces, to be again subjected to the feet stamping?at the same time the roots and seeds of a plant called tackpoul" are added, the soluble parts of which are supposed to give tenacity and toughness to the paper. _ Easily Suited After All. A stage manager well known In the small towns for his ambitious demands lu regard to scenery and stage effects, yet who was equally satisfied with the most mga^ef provision, said one morning to the lessee of a wooden booth; "In the first act I shall require a regienUlope nn tho rio+it A nnsse UiCUV VI PV4U4V W V- %w?. . .p , . r of policemen on tbe left and a crowd of peasants* on tbe bridges In the center.

Japan's protest against the annexation of Hawaii is considered in a more serious light than was at first made known by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Trlnmpbi tn Surgery. Cleansing of the wound itself was almost a surgical hereby a few years age. Fouled bandages were the rule, and the thicker and more abundant the discharges the more "laudable" they were considered to be. Hence in the older works on surgery the so-called "laudable" pus was as much a sign of safety 1 as it is now of danger. Cleanliness of Instruments, now a prime consideration, was then entirely Ignored. Oftentimes the same lnstrtr jents would be used at different tlmee upon the dead ' as well as the living body, and a celebrated operator of that day was accustomed to hold his knife between his teeth when his hands were temporarily employed In the wound.
