One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious dis-

rrER FHOM COTTON FIBER.
After a long series of experiments
the president of the Southern Cotton
association comes forward with a
statement to the effect that all qualities
of paper from the finest linen grade
down can be profitably manufactured
from the fiber of the cotton stalk,
which has hitherto been a waste mate-
rial. It has also been found that in the
process of manufacture several valua-
ble byproducts are secured, including
alcohol, nitrogen and material for
smokeless powder. It is expected by
those directly interested that several of
these new paper plants will be in full
operation by the first of the new year.
Since the stalks average a ton for ev-
ery bale of cotton grown, this would
make available 12,000,000 tons of raw
material annually, which is twice as
much as would be needed by all the
mills of the country at the present
rate of consumption. It is to be hoped
that when the industry develops on a
large scale it may prove all that its
promoters now anticipate,, for it would
not only render valuable a hitherto
waste product, but would greatly
lessen the enormous drain upon the
spruce forests of the country, which at
present furnish the bulk of the mate-
rial for the manufacture of the cheaper
grades of paper.
Louis XV.’a Flawed" Diamond.
"Comte,” said Louis XV. to the Count
de St. Germain, “will you help me to
gain 4,000 francs? I have got here a
diamond with a flaw, valued at 6,000
francs. It would be worth 10,000 if it
were flawless.” After having the dia-
mond carefully weighed Louls handed
It to the count, who examined it mi-
nutely and replied, "It might be done.
■Ire. If you will allow me to keep the
■tone for a month." A month later he
brought back the diamond almost in-
appreciably less in weight, but flaw-
less. The jeweler to whom a friend of
Louis offered it for sale gave 9,600
francs for it, but the king repurchased
it as a curiosity. — T. P.'s London

Benjamin Harris Brewster, one tm-
attorney general, was a most unfqun
character. According to his idea, be
was always faultlessly attired, and his
makeup once seen would never be fo.-
gotten. He usually wore a bell shaped
white silk high hat with long whiskers
on it, a plaited and frilled white shirt
front, with a high standing collar, car-
dinal necktie or scarf, buff waistcoat,
maroon colored Prince Albert coat
with gold buttons, yellow trousers,
patent leather shoes and soft frilled
cuffs, which matched his shirt front,
around his wrists. On the thumb of
his left hand was an amethyst raz
encircled with perfectly matched dia-
monds and a bunch of old fashioned
seals in heavy gold settings dangled
from his watch fob. This was his
usual makeup when he attended to
business at bla ofice, which was in the
old Freedmen's bank building, oppo-
site the treasury department, or visit-
ed the United States supreme court to
participate in cases which concerned
the government. His voice was pitch-
ed in a high key. and this pecullarity
was intensified by his sartorial getup,
which always made him conspicuous
at any gathering. Apparently he was
oblivious of the sensation which his
appearance almost Invariably created.
