Art of pnner Making.

In the matter of making and using
paper we are not. in line with the Chi
nese and other Asiatics, who not only
make the finest paper in the world, but
apply it to all sorts of uses, making
window panes, fans, umbrellas, sandals
and even cloaks and other garments
of it.
The art of making paper from null
berry bast is said to have been invented
in China in the second century B. c.
Afterward bamboo shoots, straw, grass
and other materials were also used.
The manufacture spread to the ada
cent countries.
The Arabs learned it in Samarkand,
and their learned men carefully kept
secret the process by which they made
paper for their own use. The crusades
made Europe acquainted with the art,
and the first paper mill in Germany
dates from the twelfth century.
To this day the process Of paper max
ing in the east Is simple and apparent
ly crude, the fbers being torn apart
with the fingers and the pulp pressed
In n primitive contrivance.

A gatchinr Err.

"An egg III the process Of Matching"
says an expert, sis remarkably sensi-
tive to vibration. Half the failures
that amateurs encounter in Matching
out chicks by the incubator method
are due to lack of precaution in pro-
viding against the effect of vibration
on the eggs. The rumble Of a train or
the passage of n wagon along the
street will spoil a whole Incubator full
of eggs if the faintest vibratory wave
reaches the apparatus. Evcu such a
little thing as the banging on door
in some other part of the house will
destroy the chances of Matching out a
brood where care has not been taken
TO place the incubator beyond the
reach Of such disturbances. A thunder
storm always gives breeders a scare,
as thousands Of eggs may be spoiled
by n sudden heavy thunderclap. To
sneeze or cough in the vicinity of the
incubBtOrs will sometimes work n dis
astyous result.'-New York Tribune.

COST OF LIVING HIGHER THAN
IT HAS BEEN SINCE CIVIL WAR

During a period Of commercial ae-
ltivity and enterprise, such as never
before has been egualled in this coun-
try. when every mill is a hive Of in
dustry and the hum of the proft-yield-
ing wheels is heard from ocean to
ocean. the cost Of living has so steadily
increased that never since the Civil
War has it cost so much as at the
present time.
A detailed computation shows the
average cost per individual, adults and
children included. to be about s1O1 81
per annum, which is more than $40 per
capita increase. The cost per family.
aking the accepted ratio of five per-
sons to a family, is higher than it was
year ago.
There has hardly been a commodity
in general use, from manufactured ar
icle to products of the soil. that has
not had its price increased until at the
present time articles that could be pur-
chased by the average family several
years ago, and considered almost neces-
sities, have now been relegated to the
ear as being luxuries, and are no
longer within the reach of most per-
sons.
In many cases there is no plausible
reason for the advances. The de-
mand for certain articles has not in
creased out of proportion to the supply.
and according to the law Of supply and
demand there would be no occasion for
the raise in price. In some instances.
even such as manufactured novelties
and cloth, the supply has been great
er than ever. The formation of combi-
nations for the purpose Of controlling
the price is said to be partly respon-
ible for this state of affairs. but
whether it can be logically explained
or not. the fact remains that every
thing has gone up with one exception.
and that is the wages of the people.
The brunt of the increase falls hard
est. and Is felt most, by the women of
the land. to whom the purchasing
power of a dollar is really more i'm
,portant than to the men. Meat can
not be purchased for anything like its
former price, -four has gone up. vege-
tables cannot be got at last wears prices
and the price of manufactured goods
has increased. The climax of this IN
ward trend of prices is reached in the
Question Of fuel when anthracite coal
rated at $3.50 a ton.
Housewives know that meat. one Of
the chief articles of diet, of the Ameri-
can worldngman, has reached almost
|prohibitve figures in some cases.
Either meat of an inferior quality must
bought or dropped altogether, fore
ng many TO practice the vegetarian
heory. There is not a pound of meat
sold today that does not bring a high
a. figure than year ago. Flour has
one up twenty-five cents on the barrel,
and even this price is said to be only a
temporary market. Bakers and house

The Rev. w. H. II. Butler. d. D., pas

Mr.. sryan's Activity

From the Washington Star.
Certain Democratic politicians are
disposed to lecture Mr. Bryan on the
charge of garrulity. They complain
hat he keeps himself too much in evil
dence He talks too much. But few
days go by without a word from him
on one or all Of the leading issues OF
the times. Why is this? Why should
he keep such a constant vigil, and call
out the hours. as It were
Why? Simply because it IS both Mr..
Bryan's privilege. and his business TO
do so These critics forget that Mr..
Bryan is not only a political leader,
but an editor. In the latter capacity
he is due TO appear in public discussion
once a week. His views are regularly
Expected. People pay for them, and
they want them not only regularly, but
well spiced His readers admire Mr..

taste he has created. Editor Bryan
therefore is very properly constantly

PRESIDENT AND BossEs

The Portland Oregonian in the fol-
lowing paragraph says something that
as very pertinent at the present mo-
ment:
All the trouble that has been made
for President Roosevelt, and it is not
small has sprung from the desire to
teach him a lessOn--a desire whose full
fllment devolved upon the Republican
senators and representatives who are
primarily the exponents of the Repub-
lican machines in the various States.
His difficulty is Mr.. Cleveland's diff
Guilty, exactly; and while it is the part
Of healthy optimism to say that the
people viii save him from the ven
geance OF The rngsters, it is neverthe-
less pertinent to recall Mr.. Cleveland's
fate.
Il is not forgotten that coterie Of
leading politicians determined that
Roosevelt should not be nominated for
the Vice-Presidency at the last Ma
tional Convention, and another band
favored his selection. The latter had
no love for him. however, but hoped to
thwart his ambition to serve a second
term as Governor of New York. They
took advantage of the popularity of the
man, and with the support that came
from this source they forced Roosevelt
into position he did not seek. But
they had no idea that I'm so short a
time. through a disaster. he would be-
come President. They had overreached
themselves and had placed him In a
position OF leader.
Roosevelt has never been popular
with the politicians. and probably will
never be. He is too direct, too honest,
and too uncompromising. Whatever
strength he may develop will be shown
in his popularity among the people.
The opposition of the beet sugar SEN
ators was not aimed so much at de-
feating reciprocity as at humiliatlng
the President Hanna. Scott, Elkins
and Addicks do not love the strong.
self-reliant young man in the White
House; but the people do. Senator Bur-
r0ughs was strenuous in opposition to
the reciprocity measure, but the people
refused a denomination TO four or five
congressman who followed his lead. In
Kansas and other States. the conven-
ton of the party turned down plati
tude intended to cover the issue, ant
squarely backed up the President.
There have been instances wherl
candidates have been nominated il
opposition to all the bosses. and thi
may be another. Certainly TO win tn
approval Of the people is better than L
achieve machine-made success. Tn
President shows no signs OF weaker
ing, but in his Fourth of July addres
stated that reciprocity with Cub
would come as sure as fate" And W
believe that the President is right, an
that by the time Congress next assen
bles the people viii make It pain whl

THE TUNNEL HALTED

The Board OF Aldermen Of Greater
New York yesterday killed one of the
most important projects that could
have been devised for the bettement
OF traffic with that great centre. The
Pennsylvania railroad tunnel contract
which had been approved by the Board
OF Rapid Transit Commissioners, was
turned down by a decisive vote. The
value that this. enterprise would have
been to New York city is hard to esti-
mate. but it would also have been a
great convenience to the millions from
All over the country who have occasion
to visit New York. The present system
is cumbersome and annoying, and q
great deal OF time would have beer
saved by the tunnel to every passenger
entering New York by the Pennsyl-
vania lines.

proval are considered, the suspicion OF
a hold-up cannot be avoided. Presi

It seems a pity that Citizen Mclean,

larger field for his industry than the

after much effort, in engraving the al

Corn has jumped, and every kind of

Vanced beyond figures reached in MANY
years. AT livery stables the price q
boarding horses has gone up, and as
consequence many horses have been
sent 10 the country instead of being

Inc rise in the price of feed has
caused teamsters and haulers to make
a corresponding advance. and draught
ilorses earn more now than they had

All Kinds of butter is up at least

In the line OF vegetables the increase

IN spite OF the unusually heavy South
'ern crops and the earliness of the Jer-
sey season, the figures have moved up-
ward with a trend almost amazing.
New potatoes have brought nearly
twice as much as in former years. and
at the present price tomatoes are al
most a luxury in the market bringing
almost four times last years prices.
Even the onion market has been un-
usually strong and has yielded to little
demand and gone upward.
Peaches were hardly in the market
when the price went up, and the Della

per cent. more than in former years.

about the only fruit that has not shown
an inclination to rise. Oranges are up
five cents dozen. The apple market
has hardly fairly opened, but already

and cantaloupes, are retailing much

MAGNETISM OF MISERY
Men Haunt Scenes That Revive Memories
OF Pain

Every storm, earthquake or disaster
Of any kind brings out a curious phase
Of human nature Many OF those who
have seen their houses destroyed or
their nearest relatives killed return
as soon as possible to the scenes of dew
astation. In some instances this is ex-
planned by the fact that there are more
opportunities Of earning q livelihood
among old neighbors than among new
surroundings. In numerous cases, how
ever, no such business reason operates
as an inducement. The magnet is SEN
timent, not money. AS some mOurners
devote every holiday to visiting graves,
so a large fraction of the homeless and
bereaved so back to spend the remain
der of their days in the scenes that re-
call calamity and gloom.
1t was so after the great London fire,
It was so after the Lisbon earthquake,
it was so after the yellow fever swept
Philadelphia, and in more recent years
the Chicago fire, the Mississippi floods.
Charleston, Johnstown and other ca
tastrophes confirm the old experience.
Apparently the desire to gain new
pleasures is no more keen than the
wish to revive the memory of old pain.

had it been true. but it wasn't Burns
in one OF his poems has couplet that,
IL we remember correctly, reads as fol-
lows:
Some books are lies from end to end,
And some great lies were never

the first line Of the quotation ap-
plies TO the Suns article. and the other
illustrates articles that are to come.

sure a statement from George NJ. Fish
er one of the Union Republican can
didates named by the sun. Mr.. Fisher,
whose word is absolutely good under
all circumstances. makes a flatfOoted
denial of the story. Thus, from good
Union Republican testimony. we have
the proof that the Sun deliberately lied.
FThere is nothing startling in that fact,
of course. since the paper reflects THE
normal mental state Of its owner.
The Sun didn't interview any of the
gentlemen named. 1t could have reach
