Se PAPER LUMBER. cut w wd the back of the vath. do demand a restor ment. fe kuiv Imitating All Sorts of Natural Wooa in Grain, Color and Solidity. From the New York Sun, A tall, elderly man, with a round, pleasant face, took from the marble mantel of a room afternoon, a section of what appeared to be walnut board. “That is paper lumber,” he sald. “You may not be aware that a process has been invented for utilizing paper pulp in the manufacture of a substitute tor natural wood. A mill has been erected in a western town for the purpose of manufacturing artificial lumber, and a number of capitalists have taken hold of the matter. We are thoroughly convinced of the perfect practicability of paper lumber in the manufac- ture of all articles at present made from wood. It is only a question of a very short time when | paper lumber will come into general use. I | feel coniident that it will prove much cheaper than wood, equally as durable and fully as good for fine work.” Attention was directed to several articles of cabinet ware made of the material. Two of these were ordinary parlor tables, one of which resembied the peculiar mottled appearance seen In some choice hard woods. The surface of the i} table was varnished and highly polished. The | other table was finished in exact imitation of rosewood. A panel door was also showa, the | finish resembling mahogany. A couple of ladies’ | e atter an elegant pattern, and highly finished, e also exhibited. The paper board,” continued the gentleman, “ts susceptible of the finest polish, and will take any tint or color. The lumber is made princi- pally of the pulp of wheat, rye, and oat straw, and other vegetable fibers, combined with chem- ical ingredients and cements. It is formed in layers, about one-quarter of an inch in thick- ness, and these are pressed together by power- ful machinery, and thus rendered as hard as the hardest wood. besides being much more dense. varying degrees, according to the purpose for which they are to be used. The material is as durabie as time, and can be sold at a good profit for almost half less than or- dinary pine lumber. It will take am fuish, and in this respect alone is equal to the finest hard wood. Moreover, it can be mar- bleized in imitation of any kind of marble, both in respect to ahigh degree ot polish and an exact Imitation of grain. It will not warp and canbe rendered perfectly waterproof if desired, thus making it suitable forthe constraction of burial caskets. It makes Just as solid a surface as any wood, and may be made of the hardness ot stone. As a substitute for wood in the construc- tion ofbuildings it possesses qualities of perfect adaptation, It will make the fnest material in the world for roofing, not excepting slate or fron. Itcan be sawed, split, or planed, and boards made of it are perfectly smooth, and flat from end to end on both sides, without any knots, cracks, or blemishes of any kind com- monly met with in wood.” ‘0 you think that the supply of paper stock {s suffictent to permit the general use of paper lumber as a substitute for wood?” “Why not? The production of straw alone is sufficient. It takes 100 years to grow 20,000 feet of natural lumber on an acre of ground. This is according to official statistics. On the other hand, an acre of ground will produce every year straw enough to make 2,000 feet of artificial lumber, and hence ina hundred years it will produce 200,000 feet—ten times as much as the quantity of natural lumber.” American Novels in England. Boston Advertiser's London Letter. American novels are making their way rapidly in England. Macmillans have now brought out @ uniform edition of Henry James’ novels in fourteen volumes, at one shilling a volume. Mr. James Is so widely known here that he is almost regarded as one of our own writers, though every competent person admits that no living English novelist can approach the artistic form and style of Mr. James. “The American” con- tinues, I think, to be regarded here as his fore- most book, as “A Foregone Conclusion” is gen- erally looked upon as the best work of Mr. How- elis. The story which Is running in the Century, called ‘The Bread Winners,” is algo attracting some attention here just now; while Mr. Arthur Sherborne Hardy's ‘‘But Yet a Woman” has en- joyed both a sale and high words of se. ir.

There is corftainedl in the Alienist aud Neu- | rologist for the current quarter a very interesting article from the Italian of Bianch! devoted to the consideration of “Change in Handwriting.” The direct purpose of the thesis Is to define ak terations in handwriting in their relation to pathology, and it ig made to appear that these variations are, to ‘an expert intelligence, very fair Indices to spbcitic ‘disorganization of the mental structure. From being in lirge part technical, the article clouds its real interest from the unprofessional reader, yet it touches upon s0 many peeuliar traits of character in writing, of which few know anything, a refer- ence to it may not be unpleasing. The phenom- enon of writing seems to Dr. Bianchi to be! among the most curious that are distinctively human, and to determine just its operative quality’ and directing torce between the medal- lary center and the series of muscles employed is the purpose of v careful clinical observa- tious now being made in a number of Eurbpean hospitals. That which makes it the more diffi- cult of solution is the fact that the phenomenon of writing is not dependent upon visive impres- sions, but is effective through both the auditive nd intellective as well, since not only the biind but the deaf and dumb can be taught to transmute into written language the ideas of the mind. The one great obstacle encountered in the way of founding a theory onan unassaliable basis, which prevents a ready furtherance of the inquiry in its pathological bearing, 1s the fact that the patients met with in clinics and hospi- tals are mostly ignorant of writing. The pro- cess of change leads to great extremes with diseased minds, and can be noted in its pro- #tess from the omission of words, the mistake of words, the variation in the vertical and base lines until it has reached the final stage de- scribed as agraphia, when the writer merely makes right, straight, undulating, or circu- lar lines, unabie to trace a letter, yet in en- attempt. Among the curious freaks of writing, which, however, is not necessarily pathological, 18 that which is the lithographic, or so-called re- verse chirography. ‘This is the lefthanded writing which consists in tracing letters from right to lett, so that to be read it must be held before a mirror or be seen by transparency. Many physicians regard this as an evidence of diseased mental function, but it has lat- terly come to be accepted’ as the normal writing of the left hand, though it is not denied that sometimes it may be due to lesions of the encephalic central organ. T ound op- eration is not accounted for readily in persons who, not much accustomed to writing, quired to use their left hands. The the form of the | received by the brain pression of the the fe y there shed a quasi solidarity between these two facts. There should therefore be an automatic use of remembrance and an entorced beginning at the left. One explanation is that with the im- necessal for ittle along motions ation of the letters, and little b the body: thouzh Dr. Ireland ad- ¢ hypothesis that the image, or the im- pression, or the change in cerebral texture by whieh the image is produced, is formed in the mind of the lithographic writer reversed, like the negati f a photouraph, In the effort to reproduce tiis image writing from right to left In_persons of little Inteili- «ence, and who seldom write, there is an apti- tude to write with the left hand in both ways, aud the reversed letters are better formed than those carried from left to right. There is a case recorded of a man of t five years who grad right arm. He used his pen in his lett and wrote easily in the lithographic way he wrote in the pormal form with the same hand bad). ith ditticuity. A girl of four- teen, an imbecile, Was taught to write, but 6! used her pen In her left handand wrote reversed yery much better than regularly. There is a case of aman who wrote weil with both sides, thouwh the leit was lithographic, Now with intellgent persons who deliber- ately set about writing with the left hand, the norial course of formation is followed, and they cannot write reversed, because with them mage of the word {s so fi that they cannot conceive ft in al they constrain the muscles wit it to trace the image us they have it in the brain. From the cases cited Mr. Bianchi thinks “we may conelnde, with reason, that the reverse structure, although It is the physiological of the left hand, obtains more expetiatiy in oacaa of lesion of the left hemisphere and in aphasia, because then the normal writing of the left is liberated by external circumstances, by educa- tion, by remembrance of the figures traced trom the right, and by the Influence of the sight and the will, leaving thus only the remembrance of the impressions of the muscular motions united to that of the impressions of the image. This writing Is due, therefore, on the one side to Soni and ou the other it is a thing purely physiological, and it would be only accidental to see an organ reacquire its normal function under the Influence of a pathological part,” ‘The True Nature of a “Cold,” Years of study and observation have forced me to the conclusion that the disease which mani- fgsts the symptoms popularly supposed to indi- cate that a cold has been caught is to all intents aud purposes a jilh-disease, arises largely from indigestion, and forms the basis, so to say, or is In fact the first stage of all the so-called flth- diseases. Whatever interferes with digestion or depuration, or depraves the vital organism in any manner, produces an impure condition of the body—a condition of disease; and a con- tinuance of disease-producing habits must iney- Stably result In periodical or occasional “erap- tions,” the ‘severity of which will depend upon tle degree of one’s transgression. Among the causes of this impure bodily condition are (1) impure food, (2) excess in diet, and (3) impure air. Ourhomes, offices, shops, lialls, court-houses, churches, and, with rare exceptions, all Iy- ing-rooms, private or public, are insufficiently or not at all ventilated; and, except while in the open air, a very large proportion of our peo- ple, in all the ks of life, habitually breathe au atmosphere vitiated by being breathed over and over again; they are starving for want of oxygen, and are being poisoned by carbonic ac’ In default of sutticient oxygen the best of food cannot be transformed into pure blood— there will always be a corresponding indiges- tion; nor can the carbonic acid be eliminated freely in an impure atmosphere. We have, then, serious “interference with digestion and depuration” whenever we remain even for a single hour of the twenty-four in an “in-door” atmosphere, 1. e., an at- mosphere that is not in’ tolerably free communication with the great pody of alr with- out. The only offset for restriction in oxygen is restriction In diet and exercise; but a combina- tion of thts character would produce enfeeble- ment of the system, though ifa proper balance were maintained there would arise no febrile symptoms such as we are considering. We have plenty of people living in unventilated rooms who, 80 far as exercise is concerned, live a well- balanced life; but seldom do these, any more than the robust and active, practice any sort of voluntary restriction as to quality or quantity of food—nausea and lack of epenits belng the only safeguards. Persons of this class are preat sufferers from colds.—From “Catching Cold,” by Dr. C. E. Page, in Popidar Science Monthly. ee bi arwssth A Greeley Story. From the New York World, Horace Greeley, although he “took the pa- pers," was once sought to be victimized at the well-worn “dropped pocketbook” game.. The man who picked up the book, plethoric with bogus money, right at Mr. Greeley’s fect, was compelled to go out of town immediately to his sick wife, and begged the Joan of 250 in advance of the award which would surely be offered if Mr. Greeley would keep the book. Mr. Greeley consented, and only saved himself by taking the $500ut of the book. The man remonstrated. “Tt will not do to touch that money,” he gaid; “you had better give me $50 out of your own pocket.” “Bless my soul, my friend,” ex- claimed the innocent Horace, “I never carried as much money as that with me in my life!” The man impatiently snatched the book out of Mr. Greeley’s hands apd hurriedly left to visit his sick wife. The Weight of Imperialism, From the Louisville Courier Journal. “You cawnt guess how mnch mother weighs,” sald the Prince to Mary Anderson, when he saw the conversation was about to flag. “I should say she weighs at least a hundred,” said Mary, confidently. “No,” said the Prince. “A hundred and twenty, then?” sald Mary. “No again,” chuckled his Royal Highness. “A hundred and fi—fifty?” cautiously ventured Mary. “Evings!” cried Albert, ‘ow little a great hactress knows of Himperialism! Mother welyhs two ‘undred, Miss Handerson, two ‘undred, you know!” “Two hundred!” exclaimed Mary, “how I do wish I was an Empresa, Albert, and conid so much!” Here the ris oye Beatrice came in to say thatmamma wanted Albert right away, and the Prince politely backed out of the room.
