paper in Central Asla.

Nearly all the paper that is used
in Central Asia is manufactured at
Khokand, and at Teharku, a little
village in the Khanate OF Kho-
ksnd. The process of making it is
rude and slow, yet interesting as a
hint of the achievements Of the
native Asiatics in the industrial
arts. We extract an account of the
manufacture from the interesting
work of Mr.. Schuyler on "Turkis-
tam" "The rags are alternately
pounded and macerated until they
arc reduced to a thick pulp,
which is then collected into around
ball. Portions of this are then
placed in tub Of water aud well

takes an oblong sieve, made Of thin

allowing it to stand a few moments,

the paper is nearly double (from 10
to 13 or 20 cents a sheet.) Imper-
feet paper is, however, never thrown
away for, at the time of sizing,
holes or assures are patched up
with their strips, and the face is
made so even that defects can only
be discovered by holding the sheet
up to the light. This paper, which
is usually gray, although sometimes
colored pink and blue, is very tough
and firm, and excellent for the gums

write. For the purposes of the
European it is of little use, and the
Russians have to import all the pa

Yesterday discovery was made
in Paris suggesting a tragedy more
horrible in its details than any of
those imagined by Edgar Allen
Poe. 1t is well known that on the
banks of the Seine there are always
to be seen a large number of people,
for the most part vagrants, who
earn a livelihood by hooking the
sickly specimens of half-suffOcated
fish thas are found at the point
where the drains of Paris flow into
the river. One of these unfortu-
nate anglers fishing at st. 0uen
yesterday felt an unusual weight
encumbering his line. He took
steps to pull out of the water what
he expected would prove a valuable
find, when, to his surprise, be dis
covered it to be the trunk of a
young woman, the hands of which
were tightly tied together with a
cord. The body presented marks
of having been cut open
with a hatchet, HOrrifed at
the unwelcome sight, the poor
man ran for the commissarJ
of the district, who Immediately
telegraphed for N. Jacob, chief Of
!. the spolice. The latter had the
river dragged, with the result o
finding the legs and other parts o
the corpse. These, as was the cast
with the trunk, were found wrap

True PolIteneaa.

A poor Arab, going through the
desert, met with a sparkling spring.
Accustomed to brackish water, a
draught from this sweet well in the
wilderness seemed, in his simple
mind, a present to the caliph. So
he filled the leather bottle, and,
after a weary tramp, laid his hum
BILE gift at his sovereign's feet. The
monarch, with a magnanimity that
may put many a Christian to blush,
called for a cup and drank freely,
and then with a smile thanked the
Arab, and presented him with a
reward. The courtiers pressed
eagerly around for draught Of
tue wonderful water, which was
regarded as worthy such a prinoely
acknowledgment. To their surprise
the caliph forbade them to touch a
drop. Then, after the simple
hearted giver left the royal presence,
with a new spring Of Joy yelling
up in his heart, the monarch ex-
planned his motive Of prohibition.
" During the long journey. the
water in his leather bottle had be-
come impure and diStaSteful; but it
was an offering of love, and as such
l accepted It with pleasure.
feared, however, that if | allowed
another to taste it, he would not
conceal his disgust. Therefore it
was that ! forbade you to partake,
lest the heart Of the poor man
would be wounded"

The Elst India Company was
originally established to carry on
the trade between Great Britain
and the East Indies; or, to speak
more correctly, with the colonies
east of the Cape of Good Hope. 1t
was constituted by royal charter in
1000, In 1918 the East India
Company's charter was renewed for
twenty years. There were at this
date, however, some notifications
made in the charter, by which Il
restricted intercourse with the
whole of the Company's Indian
possessions was permitted to all
British merchants. The monopoly
of the trade, however, between
England and China was retained in
the hands of the company. In 1888
the company's charter was contin-
ned till 1854, At that date the
company was deprived of the mo-
nopoly Of the Chinese trade. The
immense power welded by the
company had in the course Of time
BECOME 50 great thqtit oveFshadow-
ed the prerogatiVe of the crown,
In consequence the company's char
ter was eventually rescinded in
1858. In that year, according tc
an act of Parliament, the entire
power hitherto invested in the com
pany was transferred TO the home
government, WHICH SINCE that dat
has exercised supreme control 0.

The Masonic fraternity at this place last Sat-

Of the whole entertainment, was that no cake

No more interesting event has ever occurred in
the highe-t social circles of this city. The bride
is native of this place. Of beauty that Is classic
in its purity. and OF symmetrical and unsullied
excellence OF character.
ssNone knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
The groom is a stranger to our people but was,
we believe, boIn in the city Of Louis, and is
there known as young man of unblsmished
habits. and an architect OF promise. The old
church, in which the bride was reared, where
she was bsptised, and where. a. pupil and
teacher, she was long q member OF the Sabbath
school, was decorated by the cunning hands of
loving friends until 1t became, IS 1t were, 3

sealed their union. was eoquently and fervently
spoken; and, at its close. there was almost =

As twenty seas, were their waters ncotsr,
