It was of the regular size and polished as smooth ly as a piece of Italian marble. The grain was so tine and the whole appear ance so artistic that it might easily have been taken for a chip from a pil lar of a Grecian temple instead of such a practical thing as a vrailroad tie. The speaker was a short, stout, sad faced man, with a large head and over hanging brows, and was the inventor of this aesthetic sleeper, and in his little office in Fulton street there were many models of cars and railroad tracks scattered about "This," said he, as he patted the railroad tie lovingly, "is the result of years of labor, and I believe "ow that it is perfect. It is made of faper, which I believe is to enter to a arge extent in all building operations at no distant day. The great enemy to the use of paper for many things is moisture, and in my invention, of course, a means had to be discovered to prevent dampness from having the slightest effect, a3 a railroad tie being in the ground is subjected constantly to it, and a rotten tie might cause the loss of many lives and much property. The process of manufacture is secret to a certain extent, but the tie is absolutely tire and water proof. There; I will throw a piece of the prepared paper in to the fire. You see it will not burn. I have submerged it for weeks and months in both hot and cold water, and the moisture has never been found inside the surface, CONSEQUENTLY IT CAN -OT ROT. "Though apparently as hard as iron, an ordinary spike can be driven into it without difficulty, and when the spike is in position the material is of such a nature that it closes around the iron and holds it so firmly that it can never be shaken loose.

' The Paris correspondent" of the San Francisco Chronicle tells this romantic story:- The boulevard flower dealers are some of them rather good-looking, and they certainly have wonderful taste for ar ranging flowers. There is one of them, Mme, Lio.ii, whose reputation is Euro pean ever since an incident with which she happened to be connected got into tnc papers. One of the secretaries of the French Embassy at St. Petersburg, fell in love with one of the ladies of honor to the Empress. Unluckily for the young di plomats, she was already engaged to be married to a very wealthy and titled Muscovite, but she could not help show ing: her preference for the noble French man. Thereupon the Russian made such a scene that the lady went to the Empress for protection. "Try and in duce Her Majesty, to accord your hand to whichever of us two shall produce the most beautiful bouquet," said the secre tary to her, and she promised she would do so. 1 he .bmpress loved her very much indeed, and readily yielded to an arrangement which promised to be pleasant in any event. She sent for the young lady s lather, who laughingly consented to all that was going on. Then the Russian gentleman was com municated with, and when he was in formed that mademoiselle's hand was for him that gave her the most magnifi cant bouquet that day fortnight, the Empress herself to be the judge, he be lieved he would become her husband and none other. But, confident in his great fortune and his own good taste, this Russian let the days pass, suppos ing all the time that his money could buy what he wanted at the last moment. lhe day arrived when the love gauge was to oe decided. That part of the palace in which the Czarina lives was the scene of great excitement. Even the autocratic Czar himself deisrned to be interested, while the Grand Duke Alexis was as eager as a child about it The Russian nobleman advanced and presented an enormous bouquet It was indeed beautiful; it was made up of the rarest flowers that could be found in all Russia, and had cost something like 8,- 000 roubles. At the sight of it the young lady nearly fainted. Surely it was im possible for her dear little diplomate to ever excel such magnificence. The other ladies of honor and all those pres ent showed their appreciation of their countryman's love taken. With a mock ing smile on his lips the Count stepped forward, holding in his hand two gild ed boxes. In politest language he said that one of the boxes contained a bou- t$" Don't fail to call on him before pur chasing elsewhere.. julyl-tf 11 I 1 One Car -AND- ARRIVE. kdaa Oyster Shell Mme, 25.000- 500 300 . 25 10 25 50 75 50 25 pie CarLoaa Hayiea Flour, Gheap.

"lhe paper used is generally made of straw, though almost any kind of fiber will do as well. Straw is preferred be cause it can be easily obtained and the supply is unlimited. There are mills in the West where the straw is made up into boards. It is a large industry, and was first started to utilize the waste straw in the vast West for fuel, instead of wood. This is a paying, business, and fortunes are being made out of what only a few years ago was thrown awav or burned ud as useless. These boards are put together in layers, and after being treated with a liberal dose of cement are put under a tremendous pressure in a hydraulic machine. This forces the atoms together in a solid mass. Under pressure a dozen boards will take the place of one. Heat is also an agent in the manufacture of paper ties, and they are thoroughly baked in an. oven. at a high tenperature. Under the present imperfect conditions and appliances it takes considerable time to make a tie, but with everything built in.accordance with my plans they can be turned out quicker than Jhey can be cut from trees and at A. MUCH LESS COST. "I he number of wooden ties usea every year to construct new and repair old roads is enormous and is a large element in the disappearance of forests in this country, it is my belief from what I know of paper that it is destined to take the place of wood in many things, and this will give protection to our forests. .Legislation can never pro tect the forests as long as there is such a largo demand for wood. Trie strength' and durability of paper is well suown in car wneeis maue of this material. It makes an iron wheel sick to contemplate a light paper wheel running for years after it has been thrown away a9 useless. Paper will not only take the place of wood. but also of a good many metals and stoneware. A portable paper bath is one of the latest ideas, and Dots, plates, knives, forks, stoves, and engines made of paper have a large and increasing market A Jarge part oi tne Deautmu bronze ornaments and statues seen in uublic places and offered for sale in stores devoted to the sale of ancient and modern bronzes are as in those which he himself had brought from Paris. For the instant that the gage had been thrown down he applied for leave of absence. It took nearly two days to get it.and then he started for Paris. Arrived here, he rode right to a famous flower-show and told the pro prietress what he wanted. That night at 8 o'ciock he was on his way back to Russia and in the large basket which he looked carefully after day and night were niftos, souvenirs de Malmaison and gardenia, and these three most lovelv sorts of flowers were set about with white lilacs. Such another bou quet was never before seen in the Rus sian capital, and the Empress without delay awarded the Count the young lady s hand. They were married, and are now living in V lenna, to which em bassy he was promoted only a few months ago. You see what a man in love can and will do. Marie Twain, as a Reporter. Mr. Steve Gillis. printer and journal ist, was the friend and room-mate of Mark Twain in the old days when the latter was a reporter on the Call of this city. They had - likewise suffered and triumphed together in the sage brush, the dusty green foliage oi whicn they frequently succeeded in turning to a bright red. Mark was, and is, a very nervous man. ' Small annoyances rob bed the nerves, and it gave him malig nant pleasure to experiment upon those of Mr. Clemens. . 'Steve," cried Mark, in an agonized voice, shaking his bedfellow out of an apparently profound slumber, 'do you hear that mouse that infernal, gnaw ing mouse? It's driving me wild." 'Uh, hang the mouse," growled Lriins, turning over and snoring ostentatiously. It wasn't a mouse, but a little machine which Stephen was privately working with a string for the benevolent pur pose of terrorizing his friend. Mark lay and writhed, ana cursed. and gnashed his teeth. He cried so, and beat upon the headboard. He got up and threw things under the oea, ana walked around the room, ana wrung his hands and moistened his profanity with tears of impotent exasperation. The mouse still gnawed, and Twain put on his clothes and went forth and paced the streets till morning, leaving his tormentor to revel in bed. 'Hello. Sam: what in God's name have you been doing?" asked Gillis an other night starting out of real sleep this time, and sitting up in bed. And no wonder he was startled. Mark, un dressed, had just entered the room. In his hand he held a Japanese sword, as sharp as a razor, a prized gift from Bayard Taylor. This weapon was drip- : M. -Ul 1 TU c4rnnl' I ,1 piug win uiuwi. xuv viui, ouuin. midnight "Blank him, he'll never crow again," exulted the assassin, but even as he crawled into bed the offending rooster sent forth a cock-a-doodle-do that caused Mark to give a howl of foiled vengeance and bury his head under the blankets. In the morning it was discovered that his one furious stroke in the chicken house had bereft eight hens of their heads, but the rooster had escaped. He owed his life to the fortunate circum stance that he slept or, rather, crow ed at the end of the perch farthest from the door of the coop. "Steve! Sieve, I say! Curse you, wake uo. come in a hoarse ana iurious whisper at 2 a. m. Mr. Gillis awoke and beheld Mr. Clemens, clad onlv in his shirt stand ing Idv the open window. lhe night was cold, and Mr. Clemens was shiver ing violentlv. In his shaking hand was a revolver. "Steve, he pleaded, "you re warm and vour nerve is good. For God s sake, get up and shoot this cat for me. I've been out in the vard for an hour, trying to get a bead on the brute, and now that he's there on the fence I can't kill him oh, I know that I can't kill him, blank him! Get up, Steve, do." 'Oh, let the cat alone. What? You won't get up? - Then, by the Creator that made me, Steve Gillis, I'll shoot you. I'm shaky, but I can do that if I can't hit the cat!" And Mr. Gillis arose and slew the cat in self-defense, and Mark Twain went out and brought in a bottle and sat up till sunrise to celebrate the execution. Sa7i Francisco Post.
