South African 1:evicw: A very curious

1'apyrus and Paper.

There is no evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside Of Egypt during the whole
Roman period and. the industry of its
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time OF Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused by a scarcity Of paper
and q rebellious papermakcr, in the
days of Aurelian, boosted that he could
equip an army from the profits of his
business-and did it, too.
Parchment was invented by the

Look here, Cora, if you so much as

ing to tell you all about my misfortune,
however. This Is how it happened:
You know I've been dying to meet that
young doctor evcr since he moved into

savings Kanks Tor Schools. \

Pittsburg Times: The Pittsburg
Bank for Sayings has issued a little
satlet on the subject Of savings banks
N schools, aud the matter presented is
worthy of reading. Que great fault
With the American people is the want
Dt economy. Money received on a
day is parted with unsystematically,
but completely. before the next sum Is
aue, and in q large number OF Amer
lean homes where thrift should reign
and o tidy sum should always be on
hand there is q continual and needless
struggle to pay the bills that are reg
ularly coming due. The chief iden Of
school savings bank Is moi the ac-
rumulatian of money by the childish
patron, but to acquire the habits of
economy that are thus taught.
In matters of money the average
man and mi are children. They
have a dollar, and they see something
that it will buy. The dollar goes. The
prudent way of getting value for that
dollar would be to weigh the advnn.
tages of the many things that dollar
would buy and to select the most valu-
nble one. Money is worth what ii will
bring. II next week it will bring
something of more value than what it
will bring today there is profit in wait
ing until next week before parting
with it. If the school savings bank can
impress this upon the mind of the
child a benefit greater than imagined
will be conferred. The child who learns
the use of money and to keep his mon
ey until he gets value for ii isthe most
useful citizen, other things being
equal. He is always n reserve force,
and when panic comes it is he who
supplies the power that tides over.
Were all people thrifty there would be
no serious panics and no great amount
of restitution.

At the time of o passing rebellion In
Ireland, known MS Smith O'Bricn's, the
region where Frances Power Cobbe
lived and worked among the poor was
transformed, us she says, into q little
Hecla; not under snow but mud. Clubs
were formed for the purpose of buying

at Dublin should call for an insurroc-
ton. The result was rs harmless as
the bursting of a bubble, but meantime
there had been real danger for all land

been determined upon. One incident

cent participation in the rebellion. She
