In days gone by it was customary

Spring and autumn.
There are about seventy steamers of
various sizes plying the St. John’s
river, Florida, and it3 tributaries.
Steaming white wood and submit¬
ting it to an end pressure renders it
go tough, it is said, as to require a cold
chisel to split it.
The blue in the United States flag
and uniform was adopted from the
English whigs, our natural champions
in the colonial days, whose colors were
blue and buff.
In France, during the summer ot
1705, nobody ventured out of doors

From certain ancient statutes it ap¬

An eminent German entomologist

From the 20th of May, 1884, to Au¬

Msrtin lay in the military hospital at

improvement until the date last named,
when the doctors ordered that a bag
pipe be played near his bed. The ef¬

Making Brown Paper.
The straw paper is made from rye
straw, for which the farmers get about
$15 a ton. The straw is thrown into
a great vat, where it is mixed with
lime, and covered witli water. It is
there boiled for twenty-four hours by
steam heat, until all the stiffness is
taken out of it. It is nOW thrown in
to a cylinder with wire sides and long
iron teeth projecting on the inside.
This revolves with great rapidity and
throws off most of the water from the
straw by centrifugal force. The damp
soft straw is then placed in a vat and
covered with water. In this vat arc
rollers fitted with knives, which cut
the straw into very fine pieces, The
comminuted straw or pulp is then
pumped into a large storage vat, from
which it is run into a trough in which
a wire cylinder revolves. A suction
pump draws the pulp against the wire,
and it forms a thin coating on it.
This is carried off by felt belting, and
passes between rollers which squeeze
out the water, and other rollers which
polish it. It is then straw paper. It
is used by butchers in wrapping up
