Paper Invented.

How, when or by whom paper
 was first invented will never be
 known. According to IIallam, d0c-
 uments on paper are found as early
 as the tenth century, and it came | into use not long after this era, and
 completely snppIantod all other ma torials which were formerly en- ployed for the purposes for which ! it ia now used It will be 0bserv- ed that-tho invention of paper ot some kind was an absolute neces-
 sity before there could be printing, [ as parchment was far too expen- sivo to use for the purpose, even | if otherwise perfectly adapted 10
 this use. The use of paper in Western Europe dates from the time mentioned but it was known
 to the Chinese long before the Christian eya, an t is now believed
 that they used the bark of various trees, the soft part ot bamboo stems, cotton and several other kinds of vegetable hbers. From tie Chinese it is supposed to have spread to India, thence to Arabia, and the manufacture was introduce ed into Europe by the Moors of Spain, but about this there is no certainty. The rice paper of the Chinese is made in the same gener- al way as the papyrus of the ancient Egyptians, bY placing in proper or
 der of layers of fibers and cemen- tingthem with sizing or glue, The first patent for paper making was taken ont in England in 1865, but
 it was "for making blue paper,
 such as is used by bakers.' The next. for making writing papers,
 was ln 1875, and covered writing
 and printing papers.-St, Louis Globe Democrat.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

This is a subject which is dis cussed through the press of the South from all standpoints, each season, and wihthal, is matters of no small interest to our southern farmers. As the season of the year will soon be at hand when this subject will again he pretty thoroughly discussed through the press. we give the following as the experience of a correspondent of the Southern cultivator, and hope to elicit the experience ofpractical laen upon tais subject from time to time through the columns of the lsural and Workman.

Better Cattle.

In this age of progress 1t IS q eonstant,mystery to me that any one can think of using grade stock of any kind as male for breeding purposes. And now l want to mako little argument in favor oi good cattle; one that can demon. strate from facts and figures from personal experience, and the same arguments will hold good with other stock. In the spring of 1870 l bought Shorthorn COW then ] years old, with a calf ten months old by her side, and in calf again. She has been d good milker and q regular breeder, and l have kept all her female descendants. and,Gnd there are forty four of them and Old Queen, the original mother, is still alive and vigorous, l have sold about32 900 worth of males, and would not take that much for my females. Should the price of males drop below present prices, then hope to market some fancy beeves at twenty four months old. l am satisfied they will average for me, with proper feeding and care, 1,i00 pounds at that age, and be- licve l can in a short time fill my farm with this kind of stock, and anticipate moro pleasure in hand ling this kind than in handling the common stock of the country, such US I have been in the habit of buy ing. Let me ask what better can farmer do in buying than 10 buy at least one thoroughbred COW at a plice such as Queen cost me, say 5i25l Or, when the son leaves the perental roof, what better can the father do for him with the iujunc- tion to sell no females for ten or fifteen years'--Registcr Ainsworth Iowa.

If soy produces two filters each year, it follows that during two thirds of tho time the energies of her system are directed to the growth of these filters before far. rowing. This leaves only four month ot the year in which to sackle the two filters, or only the length of time usually allowed for one. It sometimes happens that sows are bred soon after they have farrowed, and are thus required to carry one litter while suckling an- other. But this always results in the dimished thrift of one litter or the other, and often in the injury of both, as well as of tho SOW her. self. Rural ond Workman.

Bishop Foster on the Millennium.

The episcopal representative of Methodsm
resident in Boston, Bishop Randolph S. Eos
ter. is establishing his reputation for an
intense hatred OF shams and cant. Only last
summer he electrified the Methodists at Mar
thai Whey ard by declaring that the old camp
meeting methods and policies had become
total failures, and the religious power and
influence Of that famous camp-meeting resort
could only be preserved by their abandon
ment. by giving up all attempts at revivalis-
tic services and BY the adoption of entirely
different methods He astonished another
Methodist gathering in New York CITY on
Monday, at which all the bishops and
large number of the leading laymen of the
denomination were present, by declaring that
current prophecies of rapidly approaching
millennium are false and delusive. He
claimed that the duty Of the church was to
look the actual facts in the face, facts which
are daily misstated in all the pulpits of the
country, through a fear of causing discour-
agement. Bishop Foster believes that in the
work of eyangelizing the world, what has
been done is as nothing to the work remain
ing 10 be done, and frankly announces this
belief. Of the worlds fifteen hundred mil
lions not one third are Christians, and one
half of them are Roman Catholics. Protestant
