SOUTHERN ROSES
and NORTHERN LILACS
"Oh!—Oh!—Oil!”
The woman in’ black turned and
saw Helen drop to her knees. She
was at her side in a moment. “Beau¬
tiful!” Helen was saying into the
depths of the creamy roses. “Where
did they come from?”
“From Virginia; came by mail yes¬
terday,” said the woman in black in
a soft Southern drawl. Helen noticed
the accent, and thought it sweet. She
did not know it was Southern.
“You put them here for us?”
“I put them here for him.” The
woman in black pointed to the name
on the marble slab. “He did me—
did us—a very great kindness years
ago.”
She was on her knees now, beside
Helen, helping to arrange the white
lilacs. “I love them so, the flowers,”
she sai u .
A robin was caroling overhead.
Faintly there came to them the
thrum, thrum of a drum, and far
down the road a cloud of white dust
was rising.
“It was a beautiful day, just like
to-day,” the stranger was saying, in
her soft, Southern drawl. “Nature
was joyously, exuberantly happy, but
our hearts were heavy and sad. It
seemed to me as if mine was broken,
as if I could never lie happy and

tents were pitched. From our side

ing about them. I haled those blue
coated men •— marauders — I called
them Jiy every despicable epithet I
could think of. I hated them because
they were quartered on us without in¬
vitation. Only a few weeks before, a
party of them came into our garden,
and one of them wont along and
smashed the sashes of* our hotbeds
with his heel, and they helped them¬
selves to our radishes and early vege¬
tables. When old Tom called to them
to 'leave ’em thar, we wants ’em to

coming to search our premises. We'd

dismounted and tied their horses to

spread a rug I'd fetched from the

FORESTS TURN TO PAPER.
Acres of Trees Consumed Daily in
Ephemeral Literalure.
if one asked “the man in tho
street” what paper was made of,
writes R. IC. Duncan, in Harper's
Magazine, he would almost certainly
say “rags,” and for the fair white
Sheet upon which I write this would
bo true, but for paper in general the
answer would be absurdly inadequate
for there exists not one one-thou¬
sandth part of "rags" that would be
necessary. Our civilization exists
largely ou a paper basis, and in Eng¬
land alone it requires 650 mills, pro¬
ducing some 30,000 tons a week, to
fulfil our needs. To feed these mills
science laid her hand on cellulose,
which we cannot make, but can only
take from plants. In the plant the
cellulose of the cell walls, with the
exception of cotton, which is unique,
does not stand up pure and free and
uncombined, but exists always in
crusted chemically with some other
substance. The substance of woody
fibre is thus always cellulose X, and
the problem for science was either to
manufacture paper directly out of
cellulose X (lingo cellulose or wood
fibre) or to devise some practical
method of extracting the X substance
from the cellulose and thus obtain it
pure and free for paper. Both meth¬
ods are practiced to-day. Paper botes,
wrapping paper and almost all the
newspapers of (be land are made,
not of rags, but simply of disinte¬
grated deal boards pounded and
mashed and amalgamated into pa¬
per. Any one of the large London
or American daily papers consumes
eacu day fully ten acres of average
forest. Such paper does not last.
The wood fibre out of which it is
made is, unlike pure cellulose, acted
upon by light and air and water and
the organisms of decay’. This is bad,
but not wholly bad, for most of the
literature appealing on this paper is
made as mechanically as the paper
itself, and it is fitting that it should
be as ephemeral in fact as it is in
nature. But sometimes Literature
twith a capital L) appears on this
wooden foundation—and that is a
tragedy. Had Mr. Pepys written his
admirable dairy upon what we call
“scribbling paper,” we would to-day
have no Mr. Pepys. England alone
every year imports some 350,000 tons
of this mechanical wood pulp to turn
it into paper. She imports also some
200,000 tons of what is called "chem¬
ical wood pulp” — i. e., wood from
which the inerusting impurities
been removed and which consists

A wakeful and night-crying baby
is, nine times out of ten, a badly fed
baby. His wakefulness and his cry¬
ing are the calls for relief of a poorly
digesting stomach and bowels. The
food is given too often or in too
great o.uantity, or it is of poor qual¬
ity, and this may be the case when
the baby is nourished in the natural
way as well as when it is ted from
a bottle.
Sometimes night terrors are a
purely nervous affection like epilep
sy, and sometimes they persist, like
a bad habit, after the existing cause
has been removed or has disappeared
of itself. The child who cries out in
the night should not be shaken and
scolded, for if the causa is nervous,
this tviil only make the trouble
worse, and if there* i3 a physical
cause for the trouble it should be
sought for and remedied.

Travelers have noted that Damas

by this hint, and have consisted in
hardening steel instruments by cool

in water.' The trials indicate that
for very sharp tools this method Is

The chemical synthesis of our food
must remain a dream for the present
we are told by Professor T. Bokorny,
a German chemist. With the aid of
sunlight plants form carbohydrates
from carbonic acid or formaldehyde
or methyl alcohol and in like man¬
ner sugars or carbohydrates have
been produced in the laboratory by
agitating formaldehyde with excess
of hydrate of lime. The artificial
process, however, cannot yield cane
sugar to retail at five or six cents a
pound, while Emil Fischer's albumen
olds cost many times as much as the
natural products.
The fact has often bean commented
on that catalogues of earthquakes
appear to indicate a greater frequen¬
cy of such disturbances of the crust
of the globe in winter than in sum¬
mer, and various explanations have
been suggested. But Moils. Moutes
sus de Ballore, in a recent communi¬
cation to the Academy of Sciences in
Paris, maintains that the increase in
the mean number of earthquakes in
the .. colder ,, season is . apparent ... and not
real, and he explains the anomaly by
the suggestion that, such movements
being mere readily noticed inside
habitations than outdoors, tho num¬
ber recorded is naturally greater at
the time when people remain longest
indoors.

Attention of a little group with soijie
wonderful recitals.
“The most exciting chase I ever
had,” he said, “happened a short
time ago in Russia. One night, when
sleighing about ten miles from my
destination I discovered, to my in¬
tense horror, that I was being fol¬
lowed by a pack of wolves. 1 fired
blindly into the pack, killing one of
the brutes, and to my delight saw
the others stop to devour it. After
doing this, however, they came on
again. I kept on repeating the dose,
with the same result, and each res¬
pite gave me an opportunity to whip
up my horses. Finally there was
only one wolf left, yet on it came,
with its fierce eyes glaring in antici¬
pation of a good hot supper--”
Here the man who had been sit¬
ting in the corner burst forth into a
fit of laughter.
“Why, man," he said, “by your
way of reckoning, that last wolf must
have had the rest of the pack inside
of him!” *

Profit From Smoke.
In Brussels, Malines and other Bel
gian towns a novel method of not
only getting rid of smoke but turn¬
ing it to good account has recently
been employed. The smoke is driven
by a ventilating fan into a filter
filled with porous material, over
which a continuous stream of petro¬
leum. benzine, alcohol or some liquid
hydrocarbon fiows. The result is
that the smoke is entirely suppressed,
while the filter yields a gas of great
heating power, which can be used
for domestic purposes and for driv¬
ing gas engines. The filtering ma¬
terial itself also becomes a good com¬
bustible during the process.—Chica¬

NEGR0 EXCAPES NOOSE.
Had Been Identified by Woman as Her
Assailant, But, Through Accident,
is Proven Innocent.
In just four and one-half minutes
after a jury in the Fulton county su¬

noon, had retired, Joe Glenn, a negro,
was found not guilty cf the charge
of criminally assaulting Mrs. J. N.

U Glenn was indicted by the grand
jury. Three prominent lawyers of
the Atlanta bar were appointed
tel to defend him. Just one day later,
after the fairest of trials, he was ac
quitted and the toils began to fasten
themselves around another negro, Will
Johnson, who was captured in a
mote section of the city while Glenn's
trial was hi progress.
In fact, up to the time of the
ture of this latter negpo h looked
much a? if Glenn would be convicted
on a case cf mistaken identity
Evidence that seemed proof posi
five pointed to him as the man. The
•victim of the assault had been con
fronted with him a few hours after
the crime am) declared him to be the
man. Again, while on the stand tell
ing her pitiful story’, she had again
seen him suddenly brought ‘into the
room. With every nerve of her
five woman's nature suffering the
quisite torture which only a woman
in her position could feel, she cried
cut:
“You are 'he one—you, you low
down rascal. Oh, I’d like to kill you.
Yes, put on that old hat. You—you—
you—”
Apd then, words failing, she be¬
came convulsive with a paroxysm
violent weeping.
Owing to this outburst on the
man’s part a mistrial was asked. It
was refused and the trial proceeded
before a jury composed cf some
the best citizens of the county.
A number of character witnesses
were introduced. Ail stated that Glann
was a hard-working negro who bore a
good reputation in the community,
paid his debts and had never been
in .trouble.
Scarcely had the afternoon session
begun than the surprise cf the day
was sprung, Tho jury was retired
