Garments made of paper have long been used in eastern Asia, but only in default of other clothing or on special occasions. In western coun tries the only articles of dress made of paper until recently, were collars, cuffs, and shirt bosoms, that is to say, articles which are usually startched. Now. however, numerous inventors are endeavoring to introduce woven paper fabrics. Some time ago an Italian, Prof. Zonetto, devised a method of making fine and strong yarns by twisting very thin silk paper, cut into strips about one-tenth of an inch wide. As yet these yarns are used only for wicks of wax candles and in the manufacture of incandescent gas mantles. A greater advance has been made in Saxony. Here, also narrow strips of paner are spun by a process patent ed by Clavize A: Co. Paper and cotton are also spun together, so that in the finished yam the paper envelopes the cotton. These yarns are used as fill ers, in conjunction with cotton warp, in weaving drillings suitable for twel- ing and summer waistcoats, trousers and skirts. Heavier and warmer cloth is made by combining paper and woolen yarns. The fabric is cream colored and may be washed repeatedly without injur ing the surface. It is well adapted for tennis suits. Sufficient cloth for jacket, waistcoat and trousers costs only ten marks, $2.50. and still cheaper garments are made for laborers. This new produce is named xylolin. For such use, however, raw materi als even cheaper than finished paper are sought. Spinning mills refuse, con sisting of very short, smooth fibers that cannot he spun, goes, as a rule, to the paper mills. Many attempts to utilize this material have been made in spinning mills, and experiments in spinning it wet suggested the idea of further comminuting the short fibers in paper machines. In this way a thin fibrous paste was produced. This, when poured on sieves, yielded a thin, soft paper which, partially dried and cut into narrow strips, could be spun into yarn. Other cheap paper stock, including wood nut- can be converted into yarn by a similar process, and so spinning and paper making meet. One brand of these cellulose, or wood pulp, yarns is called silvalin. During the last ten years many similar processes have been patented. The manufacture is still in the experimental stage, but definite progress has been made and the industry has a promising future before it. Resistance to the action of \vater is another important quality in which fabrics differ greatly. Prof. Pfuhi gives an example from experience. A lighter laden with grain in jute and canvas hags sank in the Volga. Thirty- six hours afterwards the canvas (flax) bags were raised, with their contents, but the jute bags had disintegrated so that the grain which thf— had con tained was losi Jute yarns, however, withstand st-veral hours’ immersion, hut wood pulp yarns fall apart after a very brief soaking. Thought he Stopped the Paper. (From Success Magazine.) An acquaintance met Horace Gree-1 ley one day and said: “Mr. Greeley, I have stopped your paper.” “Have you?” said the editor. “Well, that’s too bad.” And he went bis way. The next morning Mr. Geeley met his subscriber again, and said: “I thought you had stopped The Tri bune?” “So I did.” “Then there must be some mis take,” saiil Mr. Greeley, “for I have just come from the office and the presses were running, the clerks were as busy as ever, the compositors were bard at work, and the business was going on the same as yesterday and the day before.” “Oh,” ejaculated the subscriber, “I didn’t mean that I had stopped the paper: I stopped only my copy of it, because I didn’t like your editorials.” •'Pshaw!” retorted Mr. Greeley. “It wasn't worth taking up my time to tHl me such a trifle as that. My dear sir. if you expect to control the utter ance of The Tribune by the purchase of one copy a day. or if you think to find any newspaper or magazine worth reading that will never express con victions at right angles witji your own, you are doomed to disappoint ment.” Slightly Sarcastic. (Gallatin. 111., Press.) Doesn’t it make you weary to read the rot of those rattlebrain idiots of the Chicago press who are repeatedly ridiculing the country papers on their locals? These 2 by 4 lunch counter fiends think it awfully funny when some country newspaper says, “Hiram Slo cum has sold his Hblstein cow to Ed Childress." But of course it is just the proper caper when they say. “Mrs. Franklin Oliver Lowden has just re turned from the Epsom Lorimer ken nels.” Oh. that’s great! That bull pup would bring about 30 cents in the dog pour !, while Slocum’s cow would sell for $ '0 in the dark. It’s frightfully ridiculous to report that Tom Davis went over to Guard Point to see his best girl throw a shoe, but if William Henry Harrison Pook, the society leader, was in Milwaukee to see Miss Gertie Pabst they would slobber over half a column and have three pictures of Gertie and William Henry on the front page. That’s all right! Not a “Light” Drink. An easterner, riding on a mail-stage in Northern Colorado, was entertained by a dialogue which was sustained up on the one side by the driver, and upon the other by an elderly passenger, evidently a native of the region. “1 understand you’re temperance,” began the driver. "Yes, I'm pretty strong against 11- quor," returned the other; "I’ve been sot against it now for thirty-five years.” , "Yes, nut that isn’t the main thing.” "Perhaps it don’t agree with you?" vontured the driver. "Well, it reallj don’t agree with any body. But that isn't it either. The thing that sets me against it is a hor rible idea.” “A horrible idea! What is it?" "Well, thirty-five years ago I was Dick Morse Heard From. (Charlotte Observer.) Mr. R. H. Morse, who is well known in Charlotte as a temperance advo cate. without abating his interest in this cause, is now doing some work in connection with reformatories for boys and girls. Mr. Morse is at pres ent at a reformatory in Louisville, Ky„ where he is helping in the work and studying the subject of reform ing (toys and girls who have fallen in to errors because of unfavorable sur roundings. In a letter written to a citizen of Charlotte, he speaks of having visited a reformatory in Cincinnati and di lates upon the excellence of the work of the Cincinnati and Louisville in stitutions. Mr. Morse also tells of a reformatory that was built by Bibb county, Ga. He thinks that the State of North Carolina is behind in this sort of work and suggests that, if the State will not undertake to build a refor matory for children, the county of Mecklenburg should go ahead on its own account. Mr. Morse is as zealous in this new cause as he ever was in the cause of prohibition. The Children’s Favorite. For Coughs, Croup Whooping Cough, eic..

I’m going to buy tomorrow, and you'd better let me take the money you would have spent for the liquor and buy a couple of acres along with mine.’ I says All right' so we didn't drink, and lie bought me two acres. “Well, sir. today those two arces are right in the middle of a nourishing town: and if I’d taken that drink I’d have swallowed a city block, a grocery store, an apothecary's, four lawyers’ olfices. and if is hard to say what else. That's the idea. Ain’t it horrible?" When dealing with a man who uses religion as a cloak, look out for the "kibosh” concealed beneath its folds. Subscribe for The Ledger; $1 a year.

A Healt Family ;o5 m r*i'i Is the one that can rightfully boast of pure blood. When the rich, red wine of life is coursing through the veins it im parts vigor and strength to the body and healthy action to all parts of the system. A healthy family is a wealthy family; it may be poor in worldly goods, but possessed of a priceless jewel that all the riches of earth cannot buy. A healthy family may not carry in their veins the blood of titled nobles or dis- vr - tinguished ancestors, but vigorous health is always an evidence of the best and purest blood, for the vital fluid contains all material necessary for the making of bone and muscle and the growth and development of the body, and upon its purity rests our chances for good health. When the body is fed upon weak, sickly blood the system languishes, growth is stunted, disease enters without hindrance, and the simplest maladies are apt to develop into serious sick ness. In so many ways does the blood become contaminated that the fewest number succeed in keeping this life-giving, health-sustaining fluid in a pure and natural state. We inherit the disease-tainted blood of ancestors, parents transmit to their children such impoverished and weak blood that their lives are a continuous battle again' disease, and from earliest infancy are harassed by sores and the most „ , „ dreadtul skin eruptions, and heirs to some Some ten years ago I used your S.

ATHERTON, poisons that gather in the system, and the germs and microbes floating in the air find their way into the circulation, and old sores and ulcers, Eczema, Boils, Malaria and a long train of other diseases follow. If you do not come of a strong and vigorous family and your blood shows evidence of im purity, nothing will so quickly bring it back to a healthy condition as S. S. S., the most widely known and popular blood remedy on the market. It purifies and builds up weak, sluggish blood and stimulates the circulation, and thus rids the system of impurities. S. S. S. contains tonic as well as blood purifying properties, and builds up the general health, improves the appetite and digestion, and tones up the nerves while ridding the blood of all poisons and humors. Nothing reaches old chronic blood troubles like S. S. S., and being a strictly vegetable remedy can be taken by old and young without any bad after effects or injury to the system. As a blood purifier and tonic at this season S. S. S. has no superior. It puts the blood in good order, removes all poisonous accumulations, invigorates all parts of the system and prevents that debilitated, tired feeling common to this time of year. Keeping the blood healthy is the secret of all healthy families. Write us if in need of medical advice, which our physicians will furnish free of charge.
