Textile Fabrics That are Warm and
May be Washed.
(Scientific American.)
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.

A Healt

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 „ , „

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. Book on the blood and its diseases mailed free.
