Our Paper Industry.

Fifty pounds of paper for each
individual was the amount con-
suned in this country last year,
The United States puts 6,0O0,000,-
900 pounds on the market annually,
according to the latest statistics,
and has about 1000 mills engaged
in the paper manufacture. This
industry has grown from one little
mill that manufactured paper from
rags in Philadelphia in 1890.
While the output has increased SO
tremendously, and the demand has
caused the substitution Of wood
pulp for ingredients used in the
early manufacture, the principle on
which it is made remains practically
the same as that of China centuries
ago.
We not only consume more paper
than any other country, but we are
reaching out for the markets Of the
world, and with our output furnish
railways and steamships with about
100000 tons of freight year.

There Were Mo speeches.

During the last year or two the
craze for after dinner speeches at
festive gatherings Of well known
authors in London has been little
overdone. So recently the New
Vagabonds petitioned their COM
mittee for a dinner without
speeches, and the evening was a
huge success. AS a solemn warning
to intending speakers there was
printed on the programme the fol-
lowing quotation from a mysterious
composite novel by different mem
bers of the club:

Poor Scotch Students.

Many students from their highland
homes have appeared at the beginning
of the academic year with bag of oat-
meal and barrel Of potatoes, repre-
senting the sole store of life and energy
for months to come. So common was
this practice that a holiday in midyear
was appointed, known as Mealie Mon
day, in order to give the students an
opportunity of returning home to re-
plenish their larder. This day is still
observed as holiday.
In his "reminiscences Of Edinburgh
Robert Chambers tells the story of his
early experiences at the university
how a friend. his brother and himself
had lived together, and each had
brought to the common store a bag of
oatmeal. The three bags hung from one
Of the rafterB of their room, and the
landlady would scrupulously take a
handful Of the meal from each bag in
order to mix the morning porridge, ac-
cording to strictly equitable principle
Of distribution.
1t must be remembered also that IN
many cases untold sacrifices must be
borne In the homes whence the sons set
forth to secure An education in order
that they may live in university town
at all even in the simplest possible
manner. 1t is~by no means an isolated
case that story Of the father who had
but three cows, and one Of them he

When Pins Were New.

A curious fact In the early history Of
pins is that when they were first sold
In open shop there was such great
demand for them that a code was pass
ed permitting their sale only on two
days in the year-the &st and Cd Of
January. Those days the court ladies
and the city danes f1ocked to the de-
pots to purchase them in such numbers
that they were accounted festivals.

could make no use in her conquest

been swept away, and the country is
now inhabited by persons of Sla-
