PAPER COLLECTORS.
Odd and Interesting Ead-somo Of
the CarioBities In Extsteuce.

Oad and Interesting Ead-Souo Of
inc C1rioBities I'm ExtBtence.
an odd but pleasant fad Is collecting
paper-not the printed pnge, but the
raw material. There Is a:Hiost nu limit
TO the collections which con be made.
Besides those employed in writing,
printing, engraving, chromolitho-
graphing and the like are the types
used for wrapping, wall papering,
binding and magazine covering. There
art paper mills IL every civilized coun-
Try and In such semiciyilized ones as
Aorea, China, Burma, Siam, India and
even Egypt. Hundreds of methods are
employed, and the list Of crude mate
riais Is exceedingly long. 1t includes
paper, cotton. linen, cotton and lilen
rags, hemp. wood pulp, wood -four,
straw, corn hnsks and stalks, bamboo
and many numerous other vegetable
fibers
The most durable paper is made b; q
guild near Nankin, in China, which
supplies the government &c chat eni-
pire with the leaves for Its official doc
uments. This papew is made from
young bamboo tips. 1t ie soft, pliable,
takes Ink well and seems indestructi-
bic. There are samples In collections
which are over% 1000 years old. The
largest assortment Of these Chinese pa
pers Is owned by an editor In Jersey
City. who has nearly 800 different
samples. Quite odd are the fireproof
papers. Some of these are made Of veg
etable fiber impregnntcd with tung-
state Of soda. Others are made OF fine
asbestus or of asbestus mixed with
fiber
These will pass through Ire un-
ettthed. They have. however, one
drawback. They do not preserve the
ink used upon their surface. A sheet,
handsomely printed, comes out of n
fire snow white, and II ii writing ink is
made Of any vegetable substance 1t
shnres the same fate. The strongest
paper thus far produced Is made Of
manila hemp. A sheet of legal cap will
sustain n weight Of 800 pounds. Its
fiber is SO compact that man of ordl-
nary muscular power cannot tear it
across 1t is used for. wills and legal
documents. The finest paper is linen
fabric made In England. IL Is ms light
as tissue piper and yet SO strong that
1t will stand much wear
The oldest printing papers belong to
the United States. Some years ago an
eccentric scientist published book In
which he endeavored tc give the great
est possible relief to the eye of the
reader. One page was printed with
one size Of type In black ink, second
with different sized type in brown
ink, third with blue ink and a fourth
with maroon ink. He applied the
same principle to the texture of the
paper Of each page. which was coarse,
medium or fine. rough finished. smooth
iy finished. calendercd or supercalen-
dered. The paper itself was also tint
ed In every hue which the publisher
thought agreeable to look upon. The
book was not a success. and the small
edition which appeared is now treasur-
ed Us one Of the literary or topographic
curiositles of the land. = New York

The 1somance OF Quanfne.


How many OF those who fully realize
the value Of quinIne are familiar with
the pretty story connected with the
drug?
In the year 1893 Donna Ana, the
beautiful wife of Don Luis Geronimo
!; Fernandez de Cabrera Bchadillai y
Mendoza. fourth count OF Chinchona
and governor Of the Spanish province
OF Peru. lay sick and. It was feared. dy-
Ing Of an intermittent fever in her pal
ace at Lima. Her physician. Juan de
Vega, was at his wits end. Her hus-
band was In despair. when the corregi-
dor Of Loxa, a neighboring state. sent
to the former small packet of pow
dered qulnquina bdrk, WHICH he knew
the Indians priced highly as fehri-
fuge.
The powder was administered to the
countess. with the happy result that
the fever left her and q complete cure
was effected.
Two years later, in 1G4O. the much
named Count OF Ch;nchona and his wife
returned to Spain, and as the Countess
Ana brought with her quantity of the
healing bark tho distinction is claimed
for her of being the first person to in
troduce 1t into Europe.
Her physician. we are told, made O
large fortune by selling it In Seville ut
100 reals the pound. 1t was this fa-
nous cure of the Countess Chinchona
that induced the great Swedish bota-
mist LinnGus long afterward to rename
tiis wnoie genus OF quinine yielding
tree ''clnchona" in her honor.

Pat was satisfied, and left tho doc.

Pat locked at it moment, and then
asked:

"No," answered the physician.
"An' did yez kill her?"
This was poser, and the doctor

For every Irish-born inhabitant Of
