you're looking pretty fresh this
morning, observed the managing editor,
as the religious editor strolled into the
sanctum and put his foot upon the desk
to tie his shoe.
Don't feel very goodl" growled the
religious editor. II got off with some
of the boys last night, and we had a
racket, now yon hear me shout.p
who was in the party2" inquired the
managing editor, enviously.
"a lot of clergymen were showing a
stranger around, replied the religious
editor, stretching out at full length.
I'VE went from one church to another
seeing how the prayer meetings were
getting on, and then we called on-sey-
eral old fellows who were too superanu-
ated to get around with us. They all
set 'em up"
"Set up what?" demanded the manag-
ing editor, rather startled.
Lemonade and biscuits and dough-
nuts" continued the religions editor.
BY that time it was 0 o'clock, and all
hands were getting excited, and some
body said he knew man who had
cider in his cellar. After we had
downsd quart or two of that we be-
gas. to get reckless. SO we went to the
house Of one Of the brethren and sang
hymns till half-past 10. ! got notion
how things were coming out, and want
ed to jump the game; but they wouldn't
have it and the most hilarious man in
the crowd said if we would come around
to his house he would cut pie. That
made 'em all fairly wild, and away we
went. After the pie we had some more
hymns, and finally, to wind up the
whole business, sent out and bonght
watermelon That busted the racket.
They got to throwing seeds at each
other, and they laughed SO loud that
you could almost hear them in the next
room
81 might be braced to it, grinned
the religious editor, with an eye on the
closet door.
And the managing editor pulled out
the demijohn. and the religious editor
washed down the last recollection of the
night before with a copious draught OF
fourth iroof forgetfulness.

Paper.
From the Fortnightly Review


From the Forfnightly Review.
That the great Dnlk of the paper now
made is not so good as it used to be is,
suppose, universally admitted. One
reason is obvious. Far greater qualities
are used every year, the best paper Is made
from linen rag and there IS
less linen rag available since the larger
wear of calico and wooden goods Ulti-
mately, of course, paper is now what 1t
always was since fnst it was made from
the fibres of the rush and papyrus. 1t
was at first manipulated in no degree; the
outer peel was stripped off the rush and
the strips were fastened together. Grad
Ially ii Was discovered that the vegetable
fibre. beaten and disintegrated into pulp,
then allowed under certain conditions TO
settle into IA film and dried, was better.
But the more the fibreS can be disinte
grated the better the paper; and no pro
cess is SO complete as the making ii IN

completest mode of destroying its stringi-
ness. Every kind of material has been
tried, especially those on which st. Paul

wood. hay. stubble, the most common
being the coarse form of vegetable fibre
known as esparto grass, a species OF
broom. In Sweden, previous to 1866, a
newspaper was printed for some consider
able Time on paper made from horse
dung. 1t is not wholly fanciful that hu-
man wear and use has something to do
with the excellence of paper, as with all
other things of art Mechanism is fatal to
the higher and more spiritual qualities
which make art. 1t has its great uses in
cheapening and rendering plenteous much
which is valuable and in limited degree

With each revolution a strip of wood

piles upon the floor like skins of leath-
re or sheets of paper
Every time this beam turns around
it moves fraction of an inch nearer to
the knife. The whole apparatus works
with extreme precision. No printing
press or weaving machine.is made with
greater nicely. The knife that shaves
off the sheets of wood is rigidly immov-
able, and ground to a razor-edge. The
heavy beam that revolves with its great
load of timber is firmness itself and is
regulated like clockwork. The slightest
tremor in the beam or knife would
break and twist the thin sheets that you
