The first stride of any ma,gnitude in the
manufacture of paper in Britain was
made at the beginning of the eighteenth
century, when Mr. James Whatman estab-

to whiteness—was made. Even then they
were paying one hundred thousand pounds
a year for paper to manufacturers in France

were printed on it. It was fart superior co

The National Prison Congress of this
Continent, which met a year or two ago in
Toronto, has recently olosed an important
annual meeting at Boston. Both in point
of attendance and in that of the subjects
discussed, it is said to have been among the
most important conventions the Congress
has ever had, Among the reforms intro-
duced and discussed was the Bestillan plan
for the registration and identification of
criminals. It would take too long to de-
scribe this in detail, and besides it would
be of comparatively little interest except to
experts. Suce it to say, in brief, that it
consists in taking certain measurements of
different parts of the body, by, which a
criminal may be inevitably ,recognized
if ever be 'gets into the olutoh of the
law again after his first incarceration, and
registering there measurements in such a
way as to ensure the greatest convenience.
Another theme of discussion, if we remem-
ber rightly, also received its share of atten-
tion Vi hen the Congress met in Toronto—
the namely, advantages of indeterminate
sentences. That is to say the judge does
not sentence a criminal to a definite term of
imprisonment, but leaves the question open
to the discretion of the prison warden, or
in the hands of a pardoning Board to be ap-
pointed by each state and endowed with
full discretionary powers. This certainly
naakes the warden a good deal of an autoorat
in cases where ib is left to his discretion.
At the same time much can be said in favor
t f the view, which was the prevailing one
in the Congress, namely, that prisoners
thereby are given opportunities of working
out there own salvation to a degree impos-
sible under the usual system. They are not
crushed and dispirited by the sense of hav-
ing to look forward to, perhaps, very many
years of imprisonment. They always have
the incentives of hope to spur them on.
They know that on their own behaviour very
largely depends the time that must elapse
before they breathe once more the sweet air
of liberty.
Pauper immigration is a thorn in the
flesh to other governments besidds these in
the new world. England is having her own
trouble with the plague. Immigrants of
that stamp are crowding to her shores in
snob numbers just now it is said, that the
ploblem of what to do with them is bosom.
ing a very serious one. Legislation has
fortunately succeeded in abating the nuis-
ance somewhat but its proportions are
still weighted with grave considerations.
Being's like these must live seeing that they
have been called into existeine for wise no
doubt, if mysteious, reasons. Consequently
in the eagerness of the struggle they are
willing to work for the *smallest pittance
that will keep body and soul together. The
work they do it of the worst, as might be
expected, but they manage to get a good
deal of it out of the hands of British work-
men for the simple reason that they will do
it for wages which no Ettglish laborer oould
accept and preserve his self-respect. The
consequence is a great deal of hardship and
very natural. discontent among the men who
thugs see the bread and butter taken out of
their own mouths and the months of their
children. What is then to be done? The quo -
tion is a very arduous one, and as old as it is ar-
duous. A committee of the House of Commons
has been grappling with the subjtsct. They are
likely, it is thought, to adopt the American
and Canadian plan ef simply not allowing
persons whs are certain to become pnblia
burdens to land upon their coasts. It may
seem hard that the poor wretches should be
bandied about from pillar to post, and allow-
ed no place for the sole cf their feet, but
what else cenbe done? Self-protection is the
first law of states, as well as of individuals,
The fact of the matter would seem to be
that this 'world is becoming over populated
with certain elements who reproduce their
like in a ratio out of all proportions to their
worth to the comunity, and to the means
available tor sustentatione.
Step by step man advances in his con-
quest of the forces of nature. One of the
most recent and most important steps has
been the application, the quite successful
application it is claimed, to yachts of the
same principles of conatruction by which
life boats are prevented from capsizing. The
gentleman who claims to have accomplished
this great feat is an American named Cap-
tain Norton, who has been at work for six
years and has spent over $100,000 in efforts
to realize his ideas. And now at length he
claims that his labours have been, blessed
with success, and that hereafter even giant
eteamshipe can be built in ench a way that
it will be unpoesible for them to upset or at
least to rink if they do capsize. Is was the
albetroes, says Captain Norton, that first
suggested his idea to him, which in brief,
may be described as a scientific adaptation,
of water ballast and atmospheric pressure.
The buoyancy of the albatross is wonderful,
so remarkable indeed, that the bird cannot
be drowned Without first beiog stunned.
It has three jointe in eaoh wing. All its
jointe and bones are hollow and full of air.
The bird concentrates his might by folding
his wings and alights on the water in that
position. He has also the power of ejeoting
a certain amount of air from hie body as he
settles On the water and that element re-
plaeas the air thus emitted. The conclueion
then its inevitable that the water acting as
ballast together with aemoepherio pressure
are what give this bird its phenomeual leuoy-
alloy. Bete then is a basis fel' a water bal-
last system of boat conetruction, and each a
system Captain Norton olaims to have made

MS1 GARRETT'S WALTZ
A Woman Who If tukhgcs iteefeeeteete Worth
et Property.
"Miss Mary Garrett, the daughter of the
founder of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
system, is an extreordinary women," said a
gentleman well ecquainted with the facts,
"and, but that she is a woman, would to -day
be President of that road. Maas Garrett
has never obtruded her individuality in the
management of the great property which
her father left her at his death, but her in.
fluence and oapaoity have nevertheless been
felt and recognized by every one who has
come in contact with the financial manage-
ment of the Baltimore and Ohto Railroad
Company, For many years bafore her
father's death she was hM chief assistant.
Her love for her father was the tuling pas-
sion of her life, and her devotion to him wits
the admiration of her friends and the despair
of those who sought to win her band in mar-
riage.
Miss Garrett to -day, although few per-
sons know it, controls and manages the
Garrett interest in the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and has for some time been the
most potential factor in the manipulation
of the interests of that great catrporalion,
She is thoroughly acquainted with all the
details ef the business of the road, and ite
finanotaletatus and has always been looked
upon as one of lts moot sagacious advisers.
Although pereonally directiog the man-
agemens of a property worth not lese than
820,000,000 Mies Garrett is almost unknown
to business men, because be fine cense of
modesty and true womanly reserve will not
permit her to assume an individual a.nd
personal control which both her capacity
for financial affairs and her direct control
of millions of money would enable her to
There is no woman in the United States
who ottn command more ready oath than
Miss Garret. Her knowledge of the road
and its management gives her a position
in the councils of that corporation not
posseased by any ,other individ.ual. When
her father was living Mias Garrett was his
private secretary, his beet adviser and his
most trusted friend, evenabove any of the
old gentleman's sons. • It was in tills
capacity that she obtained her knowledge
of the road and her insight into its finan-
cial affairs. After the death of her father
Miss Garrett's influence over her brother,
Robert Garrett, was a� marked that it
became a matter of current talk in Bal-
timore. But there were certain theories
held by her brother which even the influ-
ence which she held over him could not
suactessfuly combat. When the schemes
which led to the invocation of the aid of
the Drexel syndicate culminated, Robert
Garrett saw the wiadom of his sister's
commas, which he had failed to follow,
and practically surrendered to her the
management of his interest in the road.
When he started out on his tour around
she world his sister followed and overtook
him at San Francisco, where he was in-
duoed to give to her the control of all of
his interests in the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company.
Recently, when the syndicate which had
helped the Baltimore and Ohio out of the
difficulties in which it had unwittingly been
plunged began to haggle about; the commis -
stone and threatened to place the road in an
embarrassing position, Miss Garrett quietly
brushed them all aside, and put up the need-
ed oath, and saved the credit of the company.
Since the recent death of her brother, T.
Harrison Garrett, Miss Mary Garrett's control
of the Garrett estate has become practically
unlimited during B,obert Garrett's absence.
Mists Garrett is a most unassuming lady,
and would never be taken for a mat finan
cier, as she is, at first sight. She la not fond
of notoriety, and in manners and habits is a
most domestic and home -loving woman.
She worshipped her father, and her most
ardent hope is to see the 'great road whioh
he built and brought to such great import-
ance kept up to the position where he left it,
and perpetuated as one of the great institu-
tions of the country.

According to a, recent writer carbolic acid

(tient diainfectante. For washing infected

the only disadvantage being the smell, which

be applied in a confined space, so that the
chlorine gas, which is the chief, active agent,
shail be given off in a concentrated

need in a dry state for disinfecting
drain, cesspools and the like, which are
enclosed. When employed in placee expos-
ed to the fresh air it is practically uselesa,
for the chlorine becomes too dilute to be of
value in destroying "germs," and the only
action then is due to the lime in actual
contact with infectious matter.
Passing to the use of sulphur by burningait
has been shown that this is extremely unre-
liable. As commonly applied, by burning a
few ounces in an ordinary room, it is pod-
tively of no value. It has been demonstrat-
ed that, in order to use it effectually, it is
necessary to burn about three pounds in a
room of 1600 cubic feet; and then, too the
presence of moisture is a nisi:amity. But
while in certain case this sulphurous gas
will destroy the germs, it cannot be relied
upon, and hence ehould not be need when
methods which have been known to be effect-
ual can be employed.
Fast Run Between Baltimore and Wash.
inaton—Eleven Miles an Hour South.
An examination of the official time tables
for June, made by the Raikroad, Engineering
Journal, shows that the fastest tranui now
scheduled are two on the Baltimore and Ohio,
which are timed to run the forty miles from
Baltimore to Washington in forty•five min
utea without stops, making the rate of speed
fifty-three and three -tenth miles an hour.
No othtr train can be found which makes
Over forty miles an hour, and the nearest
approach to it is a train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which rune from Jersey City to
Philadelphia, making one stop, at an average
speed of 48.3 miles an hour. On the oppose
tion—Bound Brook—line one train maketi the
distance from Jersey City to Philadelphia at
the rate of 45.9 miles an hour, without allow-
anoe for the four stops. The quickest train
between Philadelphia and Baltimore runs at
the rate of 41.6 ranee an hour. The fastest
long distance run is that of the Chicago li
tnited on the New York Central and Hudson
River road, which averages 41 6 miles an how
from New York to Albany, and 40.6 miles
from Albany to Buffalo. The corresponding
train on the Pennsylvania road runs at the
rate of thirty. eight miles an hour from Phila-
delphia to Pittsburgh.
The trains whioh are timed to run over
forty miles an hour are thus found to be very
few in number, and there are nob many which
are called upon to make more than thirty-five
or, indeed, over thirty miles for any consider-
able distance. It Emit be remembered, how-
ever, that a train whose average speed is
forty miles an hour must make much faster
time than that in parts of its run.
What is the slowest passenger train is not
easy to determine, but an 'express" on a
North Carolina line, which takes nine hours
to run 100 miles—an average of 111 miles an
hour—is a very promising candidate for the
honor.

An Old Case Settled.
The offiaial information just obtained by
Consul General Phelan of the remission of the
fines of $400 each impoted on the Gloucester
&thing vessels Annie W. Hodgson and Arthur
D. Story indiciates a desire on the part of the
Dominion to clear up existing cause of dis-
agreement and to remove dissatisfaction.
These are old oases, and the liocIttson's was a
peculiar one, • She was seized a year ago off
Shelburne on the ground that she had landed
men without reporting to the Custom house.
The facts, according to the captain of the
Hodgson, were that two of her men in a dory
had been lost in a fog while attending to the
trawls, and, being unable to find their way
back to the vessel, they had made tor the
harbour and landed. The Hodgson searched
vainly for them a long time, and the next
morning sent a boat's crew ashore to see
whether anything had been beard of them.
The Canadian anthorities evidently distrust-
ed this story, and probably thought that even
if the captain of the Hodgson was not in
complicity with the two men the latter had ,
".bat" themselves purposely. Besides, fresh
fish for bait were found on the Hodgson,
which, it was thought, had been brought
from the shore, although the captain said
they came from his trawls. The case created
much talk at the time, but now, at last, the
fine is remitted.—N. Y. Times.
Successful.
An exohange says, truthfully,Ithat the great
question for most of us should be, not how
we can do greater things, but how we can
do the common and homely duties of life
more faithfully, remembering that, after
all life is made up chiefly of common-
places.
There once lived in a western village a wo-
man who was anxious that her only son
should aohieve some success in life and lift
himself above "the common run of men," as
she said.
When she reflected that even the presid-
enoy of the United Statesis within the reach
of the poorest and bumbled boy she did not
wish her son to fall far below that exalted
station in life.
Long after the son was a man an acquain-
tance met the ambitious old lady, then
visiting in a distant State, and asked her
about her -son's emcees in life.
"Well" she said, cheerily, "hs ain't the
President of the United States yet; he aint
Senator, nor Yet a Congressman, nor Gover-

He Sized Her Just Right
I wandered forth one stilly night, when
Ed and Ef I chanced to meet;. Ed stole a
kiss with fond delight, while Effie's smiles
were charming sweet. And as he took that
loving kiss I saw him gently take her hand,
and heard him say: "Oh give me this and
by my side forever stand."
Oh, darling Ed, you've nought to fear
my love is deep and strong and true, for no
one else I have a tear; I never loved a

What a Time
People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its tilin of
Magnesia vainly disguising its bitter -
nese ; and vrhat a contrast to Ayer's
Pills, that have beenavell coaled "med-
icated sugar -plums" —the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at it (lose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
J. T. Teller, M. D„ of Chittenitngo,
N. Y., expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: " A.yer's Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They arca perfect in form
and coating, and their effects areaall
that the most careful physician c2fu1d
desire. They have supplanted all the
Fills formerly popular here, and I think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money."
"Safe, pleasant, and. certain. in
their action," is the concise testimony
of Dr. George E. 'Walker, of Martins-
ville, Virginia.
" Ayer's Pills outsell all similar prep-
arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others." —Berry,
Venable & Collier, Atlanta, ea.

"Hers, head waiter, I want you to give
me another room. My next neighbor snores
so dreadfully as to shake the pictures on the

I admit, dear Charles, I told Miss Jones
I really did not like you—
Perhaps the meaning of my words
Doth not yet full strike you.

"Now, ladies an' gents," vociferated an
orator infront of a Hamilton dime museum,
"walk right in and view the great Athenian
knife swallower, the only one on exhibition.
