Saugcrties is proud because the first
paper machine used in America was
made in that village This is what the
Paper Trade journal says about IL:
THE nineteenth century will always
be remarkable in the history Of paper
making in the United States. Early
IN the century-in ls27-the Fourdrin-
Ter machine was introduced 20 this
country al Saugerties, n. Y. while the
cylinder machine, as TO the invention
OF which there are conflicting claims
on behalf of British and American in
yentors, came into use in this country
about ten years earlier. The Fourdrin-
Ter machine has been improved In al
most all its details by United States
builders, until now the high speed ma
chine made in this country holds the
record the world over. IL has demon
strated its ability 20 make $50 feet OF
paper a minute, and keep IL up, and
there are builders to-day who expect
that In the not far distant future chat
speed will be very largely increased"

Once when new church in his dlo-

received several letters complaining

had dsfgured the interior and exterior
with useless geegaws Consequently
the bishop went down to the little

building. and summoned the architect
to meet him there.
The bishop could find nothing amiss
with the exterior of the church nor
with the interior until. Just as he
reached the chancel, he looked up and
saw four wooden images. apparently
guarding the pulpit.
What do these figures represent"
he inquired.
THE four evangelists. my lord" re-
piled the architect.
"They appear to be asleep" said the
