HOW PAPER IS MADE.
The Materials and Chemicals Employed al
 the Present Time.


 The Chinese are generally believed to have been the inventors of paper They used rice straw or rags of cotton or linen for producing their paper stock Modern nations followed their examdle, but made few innovations on the anclent proc | esses until within the last forty years. Since then every decade has witnessed great improvements H this industry. New methods. processes and machinery have been perfected; new material brought into use; and new and mutifariOus forms of the manufactured article now enters into the economies of modern life. Rags are gathered m all sections of the world for transportation 10 the United States, but they no longer furnish the main supply of materials used. Paper fbers are procured from old rope, jute butts, straw of the yari ous grains from many grasses aud reeds, and from the wood of the cypress, pine, poplar, sycamore, bass wood and other trees Mills of extensive construction and capacity prepare the fiber stock of paper makers, who purchase t by the ton in bulk, and then work il into whatever shapes their business requires As Il costs far less to carry chemicals to the forest than il would to haul the logs. wood=palp establishments are generally located near the source of sup ply.
 The principal chemicals used are lime. potash soda ash and eaustic soda. These alkales, dissolved Tn water to produce the cooking liquids, have been used in capacious wooden tanks in which, because the tenn perature could not be carried above boiling heat, t was necessary t0 continue the cook ing from two to three days The advance of invention has lately rendered 1t possi5ic to largely decrease the time required for this purpose.
 The demand for paper in all forms for old and new uses is practically unlimited, and is being daily augmented In no part of the world is there greater variety of vegetable fiber than in the Southern States, whese cane brakes, swamps. forests and cotton fields can furnish an almost inex- haustible supply for an indefinite period, The cotton plantatio.s alone could proba- blv supply every pulp mill in the United States wIlh product cheaply gathered and manipulated, and containing long, sub stanual and fine fiber.
 Nerily. this is an age of wonders, and what further progress the next century may produce in the art ot paper making, as well as in the materials employed in it's manufacture we dare not even guess.--h,. land Printer.

An Instance When Barber Merritt's
Memory Will Be Valuable.
"About two weeks ago." Barber Mer-
rift, of Grove street, said to me yesterday.
"a mar entered the shop with Captain
Craig and asked me if 1 knew him. told
him that I could not call his face to mind.
ibid I remember anything about q man
being kicked by a horse in South Caro-
lima in April, 1865? / did remember that
j. II. Bush had been kicked by a young
mare, which l was leading at the time,
and that the man was removed TO the hos
pital. / had never seen him since.
"He said that he was the man and he
asked me to write it down n send it to
| him. He said that he came from Cumber-
land county to see his old captain and the
boy and secure evidence enough to get a
pension. He forgot to leave his address
and / would like to get it.
'"The accident occurred" Barber Mer-
| rift went on to say, inca NeWBoston, Va,
when we were following up ! ee. AT that
time / was a boy belonging to Captain,
then Lieutenant Craig, and he asked per-
mission to charge a battery, which was
given.
fore q gun was fired, and the men were so
close that the powder scorched their
faces. When the smoke blew over /
saw that the lieutenant was pale, and |
went up to him and asked him if he was
hurt, and he said, Mo- 1 looked him
over and say that the blood was running
down from his boot. He was forced to
admit that he was a little hurt" In o
few moments he had to dismount and was
sent to the rear. While l was leading the
horse away Bush got in the way and was
badly kicked. The same mare Is living

Miserable misplays and an utter IN
ability to hit the ball safe when base hits
were needed, caused Jersey City to drop
a game to Lowell at Oakland Park yester-
day afternoon. Such an exhibition OF
loose fielding work, stagnation upon
bases and at times Intellectual gauglng Oh
the ball, Manager Powers Pets nave not
been guilty Of for a long time:
Compared with the work Oh
their opponents, who played well to-
gether and with a winning gait, the game
put up by the local team was very, very
yellow.
Larry Corcoran oficiated as umpire,
and to his credit be it said that his work
was perfectly satisfactory all around.
Both teams pounded the ball freely,
some of the hitting being superb STICK
work. In fielding the local team was
handicapped by fumbles and wild throw

Snapper Lang and Harry Lyons did
some clever catching of flies, n the lor,
mer made q number of lightning IKE
pick ups and throws to first base. But
for a wild throw by Morgan MUIR
ply to second base in the seventh inning
the visitors played an errorless fielding
game.
The Pets opened up fairly well at the
bat in their first two innings, but four
misplays by them let the visitors score as
many runs in their first chance as the
Pets got in both.
The Lowell's tailed again in their fifth
heat and the Pets tied the score when
they next came to the bat. In their
seventh inning the visitors won the game
by tallying twice on three errors, a steal
and q single hit.
They added three more runs in tneir
ninth, the Jerseyites in the meantime
being unable to get any men further Than
third base. The score;--
