THE NEW YEAR DIVIDENDS.
On Wednenday of tin* present
vvo»-k two hundred millions o( d<d-
JntH will In- distributed among tlm
American people in interest and
ii 1 vklimhJh.
These Hgnies aro <*f aitoli magni

«*.-• a|ily understand that. such an
nmoii.it- turned looowh in Ihooltnii
iii-Ih 'ii I ratio and commerce will
g.• far towards relieving whatever
at ringoncy or depression may b<*
lingering after the evcml* of (lie
past few weeks.
These are not margins of profit
represented liy stock-jobbery and
bond jugglery. Jt represents in
part the wealth which has linen
actually created during the past
twelve months and it will give a
tremendous impetus to the crea
tion of futher wealth during the
t waive months that are to come.
In this connection attention in
called to the results of tile year’s
woik in one of the cotton mill
cities of New Kngland. We are
told that autistic* just compiled
allow that the dividcnda paid to
atocklioldera ot Now Medford cot
ton mills have been the largest in
the history <>l the city. The total
dividends paid m stockholders in
eighteen corporations w ill amount,
to more than two and a half mil
liona on capital stock of eighteen
and three-quarter millions This
is mi average of thirteen and
1 hrec-fpiarters per cent, as com
pared with an average rate last
year of less than nine per cent, of
six and six-tenths per cent in 1005
and live and two-tenths per cent
t ho year hefnin.
It requires no pliiy of the ima
gination to sec how substantially
the business of that particular
community has boon glowing and
that high-water mark has boon
reached in the year which is now
drawing to a close.
What IS true of New I led ford is,
in a greater or less degree, true of
others cities engaged ill similar
industries, and, indeed, is fairly
reflective of the business of the
count i v as a \\ hole.
'i’ll" more impressive statement
that two hundred milium dollars
arc to he distributed among the
people of the t inted States on
in xt Wednesday should stimulate
ho|*e and contidonee to the highest
degree. It should serve to start
oil tie l new year with a rush, and
it depends very largely on the
mental attitude ot the peopled
themselves, rather than upon any
• x ist iug conditions oft he market,
what wilt In* the course of events
alter that. —Atlanta Journal.
AMERICANS SUFFER WHILE
JAPS PROSPER.
I,os Angeles. Cal., Jan. (5
While the resources of every char
itable organization in tln« city are
taxed to the limit caring for the
destitute families of unemployed
white laborers, and soup kitchens
have been established by tin Sal

w bite men. Ihe anomalous soeiul
and industrial condition is pre
seuted of practically every Japan

ployed and prosperous.
Less than a year ago there was
a large intlux of Japanese to this
city and contiguous points. They
went to work as coolies, hut the

San Francisco obtained control of
orchards and agricultural lands by
lease or otherwise ami the brown

THAW ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
New York, Jan. f>.—The second
trial of Harry K. Thaw was begun
today in tlie state supreme court,
and at the very outset a plea of
insanity was entered in heluili of
i lie defendant. Last year the caso
was fought out on a straight plea
of guilty, Imi temporary insanity
was finally relied upon. Mrs.
Thaw was pursued by as curious
crowds as ever and had to lie es
corted in and out of tin- court
house by a detail ol policemen.
Women were barred from the
court room and only newspaper
men were on hand.
COPPER POISONING.
The Chronio and Acute Phases, Their
Symptoms and Treatment.
Workers iii copper miners,
smellers, utoldcrs and coppersmiths
arc more fortunate than those
who have to i|n with other metals
lead, for example in that copper—
metallic copper, that i- to say —is
not a very dangerous metal. In
stance- of poisoning by it are com
paratively rare. There lone indeed
been cast's of copper poisoning, both
acute and chronic, hut they are in
frequent, and tlie symptoms are
mild 1 us compared with those of poi
soning by lead, zinc or arsenic.
The symptoms of acute copper
poisoning, bv sulphate of copper,
are thn.-e of all irritant ol the di
geslhe tract—a metallic Inslc in
the mouth, nausea and vomiting,
colic and purging, followed by faint
ing spells, perhaps delirium and
convulsions.
Tin* best antidotes for copper poi
soiling arc milk and eggs, either
separately or beaten up together. If
these cannot he obtained at once,
soap may Is* given. It should be
dissolved in water, but not given
in i In' form of frothv suds, I lie air
in which would unduly inflate the
stomach.
In chronic poisoning occurring a
an industrial disease the -vmptom
ure mild, consisting chiefly in a me
tallie taste in the mouth, a him* line
on ihi' edge of the gums, some
times ulceration ami recession of
tin' gums, leading to exposure alid
decay of the teeth 'Hie teeth are
often of a greel! color.
“Kras's founders' ague” is proh
ahlv due more to the poisonous ac
lion of the zinc than to the copper.
The symptoms consist of a chill,
with clammy sweating, followed by
nausea and vomiting. The workers
also suffer from more or less bron
chitis and list lima.
Milk is tho accepted remedy for
this condition, but the use of in
spirators li\ the workmen, ventila
tion of the -hops and strict atten
tion to [H'lviomil cleanliness are im
perative in the prevention of fur
(her attacks and of chronic poison
ing.
The fumes in smelting works ami
emanations from the ashes removed
from the furnaces are dangerous, as
thev are charged with oxide of cop
per and may in time cause symp
toms of chronic poisoning.

WATERPROOF PAPER.
The Changes That Come With the
Parehmentining Process.
The I aiiled Slate- consul, writ
ing from Cheiiiniiz. give- some jp
foresting, valuable information re
girding the waterproofing an I
parchmentizing of paper by the Gei
maiis. who have given the nibjee,
much stiulv.
One method of waterproofing pa
per and cardboard con-i-ts in ireai
ing the -beet- with a hot mixture
of a-plnilt, turpi'iitinc and linseed
oil solution of glue. Another con
►i-t- of saturating cellulose articles
with a solution of rosin in a mix
turc of pctroli'Hin, lin-ecd oil and
parallm. Solution- of varnish in
linseed oil are also Used.
Siill another is by thoroughly
soaking articles of ]»aper or cellu
lose in a solution of ro»in soap and
then immersing them in a hot hath
of zinc chloride, passed liet.vve<*ii
rollers, alter which they are well
washed, dried in a hot room. Meal
ed with paraffin oil and then run
through a calender. The resultant
product - are sirong, tough and pli
able.
A waterproof pasteboard is se
cured by immersing sheets of ordi
nary paper in a bat.li of nitric acid
or the solution of a nitrate, placing
the sheets one on top of another
and submitting tliepi to heavy pres
sure.
Waterproof cardboard has been
suece-sfiilly manufactured by pre-s
--ing tightly together Irc-ldy pre
pared sheets of the Vegetable parch
incut before being dried.
The operations in parchmentiz
ing paper, like those in tanning, are
essentially chemical and effect a re
markable change in physical prop
ert-ios. When carried out with part
Iv diluted sulphuric acid (two parts
acid of bn degrees to one part wa
ter) sheets of pure cellulose paper
arc immersed for a few seconds it.
the liquid, then thoroughly washed
m water, dipped in an alkaline sol ii
tiou fnininonia or sodium carbonate)
and washed again.
This brief treatment suffices to
bring about the following change-:
The thickness of the paper do
creases from I to 27 percent. Its
spceilie weight increases in the same
ratio. The strength is tripled and
even quadrupled. There is a nota
hie increase in homogeneity and
transparency. The product is mi
affected by boiling water — i. 0., is
not soft/ned and disintegrated, as
is the case with ordinary paper
while it has an increased affinity for
tinctorial substances. Pittsburg

Their Brand of Language.
"When ileorge Ade wintered in
Egypt,” said a Kaltimoreaii, “it
amused him a good deal to see the
serious wav in which his fellow
tourists took tlnir smattering of
the Arabic tongue. They had pick
i'd up all this flimsy knowledge in a
week or two’s reading, but thev act
ed as though it wa- the precious
fruit of a lifetime’s study. At A--
-ounn a young woman from Sr. Jo
,-cpli complained that she could not
nder-taud the Arabic of her guide
To tile crowd that encircled lu r she
pointed out the guide—a bent old
fellow with a white Inard and she
said bitterly that after her thor
ough study of Arabic it seemed
.-(range that she and this guide
could not converse. From the rear
of the crowd Mr. \de called grave
ly: ‘lt’s your own fault, Mi-s Hod
-on. You should have hired a
younger guide. These toothless old
ones all -peak guilt Arabic.’”

“Examinations for admission to
the bar," once observed a prominent
attorney of New Urbans, “are of
< otu-e easy or severe, according to
the humor of the examiner. 1 heard
om e of a judge in a certain district
famous for its bad roads and nu
merous creeks and rivers who, when
a young man presented himself sot
examination, looked the applicant
over and then inquired, with great
grav it y:
"t an von ride:"
“\ . S. sj|-.“
“ho you mVn a hor-e
