NOTHING WAS LOST.
An Omission In a Wadding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.
A distinguished officer of tbe United
States navy once told this atory on
himself:
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
bsid many harrowing experiences
aboard ship, through nil of which he
kept courage ami remained as calm
as a brave mau should. As the time
for the ceremony came on. however,
his calmness gradually gave way. At
the ultur. amid the blaze of brass but
tons and gold lace marking the full
nnvnl wedding, the offlVer was all but
stampeded, and what went on there
seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him off bis
feet, the officer hud learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect, as be
thought, and he remembered repeating
the words after the minister in a me
chanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, including tbe offi
cer's state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.
"Look here, old man," he sad; "you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods."
"What's that?" asked the bridegroom
with something of astonishment In his
voice.
"Why, I repeated the sentence 'With
all my worldly goods I thee eudow'
several times, and despite my efforts
you would not say It after me."
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for a moment, and tben a beaming
light came into his face.
"Never mind, sir." he said- "She
didn't lose a blessed thing by my fail
ure." Exchange.
Protracted.
"Hello, Barker!" said Smitkln. meet

"All right. I guess," said Barker.

"Yes; Bobbie is down at ray place
at Westhampton now. I invited blm
down for the week end" j
"Why, I thought that was three

PAPER CAR WHEELS.
Safer and Stronger but Mora Costly
Than Other Wheels.
We naturally think of paper an
something lacking iu Vtrengtu and of
a paper article as being fragile, ko are
somewhat alarmed when an encyclo
pedic friend remarks that "the wheels
of tbe car on which we are slipping
along at the rate of a mile a minute
are made of paper This optortuuity
to be alartued occurs, however, on
only tbe best of railways, as paper
car wheels, though safer aud longer
lived than any others, are also more
expensive. Tbe principal advantage
1 of wheels made from this unpromising
material Is found In the fact thai they
are not injured by the violent vibra
tions to which car wheels are sub
jected
The paper used in the manufacture
of these wheels is known as calen
dered rye straw board, or thick paier.
j it is sent to the car wheel shops In
circular sheets measuriug twenty-two
to forty Inches in diameter, and over
each of these sheets is spread au even
coating of flour paste. A dozen sheets
are placed onei on the other and ihe
lot subjected to hydraulic pressure of
500 tons or more After two hours'
pressure these sheets, which have now
become a solid block, are kept for a
week iu a drying room at a tempera
ture of 120 degrees, after which a
number of blocks are pasted together.
pressed and dried for a secoud week.
A third combination of layers Is then
made, after which there Is an entire
month of drying. The final block run-
taius 120 to 100 sheets of the original
paper and Is four aud one-half to Ave
Inches In thickness. All resemblance
to paper has been lost, the block iu
weight, density aud solidity approxi
mating the finest grained, heaviest
metal.
To complete the wheel there are re
quired a steel tire, a cast Iron hub.
wrought iron plates to protect tbe pa
per on either side and two circles of
bolts, one set passiug through tbe
flange of tbe tire, the other through
the flange of tbe bub and both sets
through the paper. The paper blocks
are turned on a lathe, which also
reams out the center liole for the hub.
Two coats of paint are applied to keep
out moisture. The various parts a re
