English Paper sC.Dpiy.

1t Is curious now to r1member the panic
which prevailed In Epgland among paper
makers as to the duty ON rags and the
difficulty in obtaining raw material for the
manufacture Of paper Stationers INDUCED
in the most gloomy forebodings of the fu-
ture OF their trade. DIR. Lindley was
among tho foremost to show the quantity
Of fiber available for the manufacture Of
paper ih the common furze, and now near
ly all our best paper is largely composed Of
esparto grass, while in the common kinds
wood forms an important factor. Instead
OF the English paper trade being ruined, it
has advanced by leaps and bounds.
In the manufacture of paper, as in most
other branches Of trade, the tendency is
for the smaller makers to be absorbed in
the larger ones In Scotland there are
fewer mills than there used to be, and in
Ireland, although within the century there
were 52 mills at the present time there
remain only eight. This great decline is
mainly due to the absence of coai-Athe-
nRum.

tried to remonstrate with him, for sh,

was disgusted. He said In confidence to Z
dear friend:
"Well, Jack Dalton ought to be tn,
grand master of Blind Fool Council No.
| Of the United Order of Idiots. To think
of his still hanging after that girl and run
ming against the professor, when with hall
an eye he ought to see that he hasn't the
| ghost Of chance! The professor has all
the winning cards In his hand"
But Fred was too good a friend OF Jack d
to withhold from him the benefit OF his
opinion; 90 he accosted Dalton one day
and tried to explain the situation to him.
He told him all that society was thinking
and saying about Miss Harcourt and him
self, and ended by warning him to check
his career In time.
It was only another instance OF Jack q
hard headedness that he should take the
import Of his friends words In way en-

"for what you have told mel II things be
as you say, might as we'll find out my
fate at once. It's either the professor or /,
and am going to know which it is"
And that night he called on Beatrice
with Intentions
The professor didn't happen to be there,
SO Jack thought II best to go through with
his important message before some other
caller might interrupt him.

preliminaries, ~ have loved you for long

"Oh, Jack, don't say any more about
science and philosophy" cried Beatrice.
81 have had enough to last me my life
time. The professor has made me almost
hate them. Do you suppose woman
wants to be wooed with syllogisms? Yes,
I'll marry you, Jack, for isn't sincere love
tetter than sciencc?"
II think 1t better than anything" said
Jack, as he slipped his arm about her.
When Jack told his sister, she said,
We'll, l don't see how you got her, Jack"
When Fred Merriman heard it, he said:
THAT settles It, I've been studying wom-

theory we'll worked out and settled some
thing like this occurs and knocks it higher
than kite I'm going to give them up"

Broad street viaduct is not built; why
dogs are allowed 90 run at large.
To all of these there can be bun one
OF two answers--theKe Is either lack OF
public spirit on the part OF our City
Fathers, or they. In pursuance OF the
more weighty matters OF the law, are
forgetful OF the public comfort.
4ioping the Council may be aroused to
a consideration OF the first items In the
list Of grievances given above. we have
chosen the Woman's issue OF The Times
in which 10 make plea against the
last named breach OF public comfort,
and for the protection OF our yards and
lawns against invasion by the multitudes
'of dogs permitted 10 run at large. and
discourage the efforts Of property-owners
in beautifying premises.
There seems to be a general desire 10
adopt the custom OF using curbng
around the small plots Of grass fronting
residences IN our city. but surely none
can admire the wooden stakes driven into
the ground, with barbed wire drawn
around them. 70 prevent grass. flowers.
and shrubs being torn UP by the roots by
passing dogs. The small and otherwise
ornamental small area OF grass or flowers
fronting our residence becomes an eye
sore upon the introduction of the ugly
but necessary because of the dogs wire
guards.
In New York, Washington, and other
cities dogs are required to he kept in
confinement. In Detroit and Atlanta
both beautiful cities-the ratings bound
ing the area Of grass are rare, and the
general aftractiveness Of the residence
streets IS geatly enhanced, In consequence
We all wish 10 invest our money where
the greatest protection is afforded prop
erty.

proper laws are enacted to abate this
nuisance?
