EARLY PAPER-MAKING.
History of the Art Traced Through
Several Centuries.

History of the Art Traced Through
Several Centuries.
The earliest paper was doubtless that
made from Egyptian papyrus, whence
all similar writing material Is named.
The papyrus paper used to be described
as being made of the thin pellicles ly-
ing between the rind and the pith; now
It is known to have been made Of
slices of the cellular pith laid length
wise side by side wherein other lay
ers were laid crosswise, the whole
moistened with Nile river water,
pressed and dried, and smoothed by
being rubbed with ivory or smooth
shell. The papyrus paper was super
seeded In Europe by a paper Of other
fibrous matter gradually between the
10th and the 18th centuries. AT a re-
mote antiquity the Chinese made paper
of the mulberry tree, sprouts of the
bamboo, and Chinese grasses. The Chi
nese first wrote on bamboo-boards; but
for 800 years before the time OF Christ
the usual paper OF the Chinese was
made of silk-waste, solidified In some
way that has not been described. The
inventor of paper made of vegetable
fiber was the statesman Ts'ai Lun,
born In Kwei-yang, in the province OF
Human, who in SO A. d. was in charge
of the imperial arsenals. In los A. ID.
it 10 said he succeeded in making pa
per Of bark, OF hemp, Of rags and OF
old flshing-nets. The governor of Sa-
markand, returning from a victorious
expedition into China in ISL A ID.
brought among his prisoners OF war ar
tisans who enabled him to start a pa
per mandatory at samarkand. Per-
slams learned the mystery, and soon
were making paper of old linen cloths.
The demand rapidly increased and In
795 new works were set up at Bagda6.
where the manufacture was carried on
until the 18th century. The first man
ufacture OF rag paper in Europe was
in Spain under the Moors; In 1854
there was mill at Jativa. Soon after
traces OF paper-making are found in
Italy, France and Germany. In Eng
land there is said to have been paper
mill at Stevenage in Hartford, in 1860,
but little is known Of the history OF
per-making in England until 1853.
when there was a well known mill at
hartford. -Montreal Star.

The bill is not long or complicated

seeks to take control OF all the stock

department of justice is that II the
Northern merger is legal all railway
combinations and pools will be legal.
and there is no way to prevent the con-
solicitation of all the railways in the
United States. The attack, therefore,
will he on the act Of consolidating the
stock as an indirect means of CONSOLE

bed. Billy acted upon this alluring
plan.
A week elapsed and Billy heard ru-
NOR of the distress at the rectory
which took the edge of his satisfac-
ton. The rectors wife had actually
been seen in tears-a state of things
poor Billy had not foreseen. His con-
science began TO work In deadly earn
est. and he would hug the dog in pas
sion of repentance. His mothers
griefs were too fresh in his mind for
him to be Indifferent to tears. An old
formula which she had patiently in
stilled became luminous with mean
ing. do unto Others" Assuredly.
Billy's conscience had become sadly
over-weighted.
Yes, he would take the dog back and
make a clean breast OF it. He thought
OF what might happen when the rector
told his father, with dark misgivings,
but he would know that the rector's
wife was not crying.
At twilight they started. Billy wish
ed that he felt like frisking, too, but
his courage oozed with every step.
Billy's rap brought the rector to the
door. The pug yelped delightedly. In
the noisy welcome that followed Billy
would have slipped away. but the rec
tor drew him inside.
Where did you find him. Billy"
Didn't find him." said Billy laconi-
caliy.

"You brought him because you were

wife gently.

quisitively tilted He shifted at Billy
and then backed off. Evidently he was
not prepossessed. Billy dived into his
pocket for his lunch and held 1t coax
ingly between the palings, but the pug
was not to be baited with coarse bread
and ham. He had never eaten SO
mean a meal in all his petted, weil-fed
life. Billy did not consider this a bad
beginning, however; he was so accus-
toned to being snarled at by the surly
country dogs.
Billy finally broke the ice in this
wise. Having heard Of the pug's pre-
dilection for candy, he determined to
play his trump card. He had long
carried in a safe inner pocket nickel
which he kept partly for the lack OF
suitable investment and partly because
the consciousness of ownership ex-
pressed In dollars and cents is so sweet
to boy. Now Billy had so fallen I'M
der the spell of the pug's entertainments
that he cheerfully spent his nickel
penny by penny, for the toothsome
commodity which was the price OF the
dogs good will. And the weeks OF
Joyous fellowship that followed left
Billy nothing to regret in his bargain.
Billy's new-found happiness came to
sudden end. however, when he saw
sinister signs Of departure about the
rectory. The rector's guests were go
ing, and the impending separation
from his dear, canine playfellow filed
him with despair. Now. Billy could
not know that the dog had been given
to the rectors wife He assumed that
as 1t had arrived with the strangers, 1t
would also depart with them.
Billy thought the situation over in
bitter rebellion. Gradually he evolved
way out Of his trouble. He remem-
bered with a thrill the long-disused
shanty In clearing in the woods,
where he kept rusty, old musket and
other valuables safe from the vandal-
ism of his step-brothers. What could
be simpler than to secrete the dog In
this safe place-yes, indefinitely?
Billy would bring his own portions of
meat and cakes for him to eat. and
there were a few corn sacks in the
barn which would do admirably for his
