Then listen: A roll of paper is slowly un wound, and at the same time is satu rated with a mixture of five parts of sulphuric acid and two parts of nitric acid, which falls upon the paper in a tine spray. This changes the cellulose of the paper into pyroxyline (gun cot ton). The excess of the acid having been expelled by pressure, the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of acid have been removed. It is then reduced to pulp, and passes on to the bleaching trough. It is this gun cotton which gives it its explosive na ture. u "Most of tho water having been got rid of by means of a strainer, the pulp is mixed with from twenty to forty per cent, of its weight of camphor, and the mixture thoroughly triturated under millstones.

I have seen in Paris a room almost completely fur nished with celluloid. The curtains the furniture, tho door-knobs and even the matting were made of this material. You may be sure no matches wore ever carried there. Indeed, the room was never used. It was only a curiosity, and the man who owned it owned the factory where it .was made.

" _ FORTUNATE TICKET HOLDERS. 8ome three or four months ago a party working in the lumber camp of Wm. Coach, on the Sturgeon river, clubbed together and ordered 31 tenth tickets in the Louisiana State Lottery. The money was sent by express and not with the order. When the order arrived at New Orleans, the money not being found, it was laid aside and afterwards lost. When the money ar rived it was charged on the books, but the order having been forgotten, no tickets were sent. Early in February Mr. Coach, while in New Orleans, took the opportunity to inquire after the missing money, and the matter was promptly explained by the company and the money offered him. This Mr. Coach declined to accept, but took tickets instead, among them being a tenth of ticket No. 71,575. As is now well known here, this ticket drew the first capital prize of 1150,000, giving to the fortunate possessors of this tenth the handsome sum of $15,000 lo be divided among them. Mr. Coach, to whose foresight they are indebted for their good fortune, has taken charge of the matter, and it will be divided among them in pro portion to the amount invested. There were sixteen in the club, the tickets being ifnt to Geo. J. Johnson, of Baraga, one of the number. Three of the holders were of one family, be i»g John Bodwein, his wife and child. Mr. Bodwein thus secures a good shaie of the prize. Mr. Coach negotiated the purchase of a house for him this w ee k in Baraga, and he has com menced the erection of another house pon the lote.

Among the passengers on an Erin railway express train from the West was a middle-aged man who had in his oharge a little golden-haired girl, three or four years old, whose piquant ways and bright sayings made her a general favorite. A gentleman sitting in the next seat in front of the passenger with the child remarked to her guardian that tho longest and most tedious jour ney would be made cheery by such a traveling companion as his. "Yes," replied the passenger, "but notwithstanding the sunshine cf her presence, she is a constant remin 1 er to me of one of the most melancholy jour neys I ever undertook. Her mother was my only sister, who lived in Craw ford County, Pennsylvania. 1 had not seen her for over iifteon years, aid, in faut, we had both neglected our c pondence with each other, and not heard from her in over a year. In the meantime I had changed try ad dress in New York, where I livs, and she of course did not know it Last week I had business in Erio, ind 1 made up my mind to take advantage ol tho trip and make my sister a vis t, and nlso visit another relative in Tiogs County, whom I had not seen in many year*.

I drove up t< the house, and my knock was ans were, by my brother-in-law, He knew ill and grasped my hand, but said not : word, being overcome by seine grea' emotion. At last ho said: " 'How did you hear of it?' " 'Of what, JohnP' I said, 't have heard nothing. How is ErtimaP' " 'Emma is dead!' he replied. "Emma was my sister. She hud died on the Friday previous, and had been buried but an hour or two whei I ar rived at her house. This little one here was the only living child my sistei had. My brother-in-ljw has huge in terests in Illinois, nnd, as his ptescnc< in that State is necessary at froqnen intervals, ho accepted my proposition to take his child into my own I'amily. Fortunately she took a liking to me, and I brought her with me. "On our way East we got off at El mira, as I intended to mako tho visit to my Tioga County relative, altliougli not with the feelings I had when I first looked forward to the visit. This was Sunday evoning. There was no train to my destination until tho next day. In the reading room of the hotel neat the depot where I stopped I picked up a local newspaper. In looking over it pages I saw an item headed 'An En tire Family Killed.' I read it. It seeins, according to the Item, t lat on Friday of week before last a farmer near Athens, Pa., was amazed lo sec a team of runaway horses, which had evidently broken away from a wagon to which they had been hitched, dash ing down the road toward his house, where they turned from the road and entered the fanner's yard. They were caught, and the farmer went back in the direction from whieli the runaways had come, to sec what had happened to the person or perrons to whom the team belonged, lie'had not gone far before ho saw in the r:>ad tho wreck of a spring wagon, which had been crushed by an immense hemlock tree which.had fallen upon it as it was parsing that spot. Beneath tha trunk of tho tree lay the dead bodies ol a man, a woman Apparently his wife, t.nd one child. Held down by a branch of the tree were two other children, not dead, but unconscious. The former summoned help nnd the tree was removed and the three dead bodies and the unconscious children wore taken to the farm house. The two children died a little later. The man's name, tho paper said, was George Bakewell, of Tioga County, who, with his family, was visiting near Athens, and to which place ho was driving when tho hemlock tree, which was partly decayed, was blown down just as he was driving past George Bakowell was the relative I was even then on my way to visit, and on in quiry 1 found that he and this George Bakewell, who had, with hin entire family, been crushed out of eiistenee in an instant, wero one and the same.

There are moro good teeth ruined by so-called dentifrices than by nil other causes in tho world puttogothor. Tho object ol the makers of 'these dentifrices is, ol course, to produce n preparation that will, with very little rubbing of ihe brudi, make tho teeth look perfectly clean nnd white. To accomplish this they put pumice stone, and sometimes strong alkalies, in their preparations. Pumice stone will unquestionably taks all tho enamel with iL An alkali will mako a vellow tooth look white In a few seconds, but before a week has passed it will have eaten away noarly all the enamel and utterly destroyed the tooth. "In walking along the street yon often seo a •fakir,' by way of adver tising his pntont dentifrices, call a ■mall boy from tho crowd near by, and opening tho boy's mouth, rub the dentifrice on his dirty teeth, and in a minute.almost takes off all the tartar nnd makes tiie teeth look perfectly pure and whita Now, nmanliko that fakir ought to be arrested, for he has forever destroyed tho boy's teeth. His preparation, composed of a powerful alkali, is eating awny tho enamel ol the boy'e teeth, nnd in a few months the boy will not have a sound tooth in his head. The dentifrices, composed chiefly of pumice stone, are not as bad as those containing an alkali, becansc they will not destroy the teeth so quickly; but, if used habitually, they will certainly destroy them in tho omL I should advise any man by all means to use no dentifrice of any descrip tion, unless it be prepared chalk. II this is used not oftener than once a week it will not injure tho teeth, and may help to clcanso them, hut it should on no account be used every day. Orris root does tho teeth no luiriii and gives a pleasant odor to tho breath, nml if all our dentifrices were composed simply of orris root and propared chalk they would be harmless enough, if not benoflcial.

If people would only pick tlioir tooth carefully after each meal, making sure that not tho slightest particle of food remains near the gums or between tho tcoth, and would, also, b-fove retiring at night, run a piece of soft thread through their tooth, they would not have any necessity for a dentifrice. Of course, sweetmeats nnd candies are had for tho tootii; so Is smoking, or taking very hot or cold drinks; but, bad as all theso undoubtedly are, I really lliink tho worst enemy tho tooth has is tho so-called dentifrice.
