'1 he Value of the Ptttnto.
Did you know that when eat,-
iQg a potato you were consuming
1 lho matorial from whIch buttons,
knife hanhles and even billiard
balls are made? Ivory has long '
l
since become too scarce and cost-:
ly for many of the uses to which
it is so well adapted, in conse
quence the ubiquitious inventor
has stepped in and suppliod a
new material from tho humblo
potato. It is reduced to a pulp ' sof t, stout leathers, beautifully finished and neatly trim
and treated with a solution of 'mod. Our Shoes are .comfort for walking for standing
acid a-nd glycerine. Tho result-
ing compound is driocl, powdered
and moulded into hior.L-s with thn
aid of water. The new material
can bo cut and turned into any
desired shape from buttons up
ward. Many a woman is wear-
ing buttons which shp supposes
to bo ivory, b'it which .v re really
only potato pulp. A similar
product to potato bu Lions is wood
pulp silk By a certain secret
process the wood pulp is reduced
to the consistency of syrup, when
it is forced into tubes perforated
with tiny holes from which it
emerges in thin, silky strands.
These are speedily dried with
hot air and wound upon bobbins,
when they are ready to be woven.
Tho appearance of this now pro
duct is said to be so near that of
silk as to deceive even the ex-
Iperts. It is, of course, much
cheaper than the real silk. New

Remembering tbc HIrds.
Even the birds are not forgot
ten at Chris tmastide by the
Swedish peasantry. At the door
of every farmer's house is erect
ed a pole, to the top of which is
bound a large, full sheaf of
ffrain. There is not a peasant
with his;hildren to a Christinas
dinner until he has first raisod
aloft a Christmas dinner for the
little birds tnat live in the cold
