Paper Mills in Louisiana.

Manufacturers of paper have been
searching diligently everywhere in
the country to find suitable materials.
Louisiana, it was discovered, produces
two excellent materials, rice straw
and bagasse, from which the best pa
per can be manufactured, but it has
not utilized this opportunity, and
throws away the bagasse and rice
straw as waste products. We have
one mill in the state converting the
refuse from sugar cane into paper, but
the industry has been very little
pushed. II it were extended it would
insure an important financial addition
to the sugar crop. just as the manufac
ture of cotton-seed oil has made valu-
able what was formerly a waste prod
uct of cotton growing, and was deemed
a nuisance difficult to get rid of.-N. o.

The state library, rich In 70 many
volumes devoted to Virginia and vir-
gid3Sns, contains q book compiled BY
UdOlpho Wolfe devoted entirely 10 the
Grand Civic and Military Demonstra-
ton in Honor Of the Removal Of the
Remains Of James Monroe, Fifth Pres
ident of the United States, from New
York to Virginia" Mr.. Wolfe is q
virginian, "the son of citizen colder
Of the Old Dominion" The Seventh
Regiment Of the New York National
Guard was the escort Of honor of the
remains from New York to Richmond.
It is an interesting fact that neither
the body of President Monroe nor his
wife were destined to rest undisturbed
in the first grave which held their
bodies. The fifth president died in
the city Of New York, July 4, 1881, at
the residence of his son-in-law, Samu-
Ell L. Gouverneur, and his remains
were put in vault in the Second
Street or Marble cemetery.
He was the third president OF the
United States to die on July 4, Adams
and Jefferson being the other two who
passed away five years before. In 1858,
twenty-seven years after Monroc's
death and 100 years after his birth, his
remains by an act of the Virginia leg
islature and with the consent of Sam
uel L. Gouverneur, Jr., grandson and
only male lineal descendant, were
hrC,yoht IN Piohroopd IN thu cfoo ", q p
jamestown, and with elaborate cere-
monies reinterred in the tomb In Hol-
lywood. Rev. Charles H. Read,
then pastor of the United, now First
Presbyterian church, conducted the de-
votional service at the grave, and Gov.
Henry A. Wise delivered an address.
President Monroe's wife had already
been dead several years and buried at
Oak Hill, Loudoun county, when he
died. That accounts for his living in
New York with his son-in-law. He
was very poor during the closing years
of his life. Some one has remarked,
applying 1t to him, ITO handle mil
lions and die poor, that is virtue"
It is an interesting fact possibly all
do not remember, that Monroe lived in
Richmond when boy and went to
school. Interesting also is it that he
boarded at the "Old Stone House."

Il spares no class or nationality. The

SEVEN IN THE BIBLE.
How Multip1es Of the Figure Recur

now Muittpies of the Figure Recur
In the New Testament.
Inc phenomena OF the figure seven
and its multiples occurring in the New

made his home at Grafton, Mass. This
significance of the seven, group will
not be lost even upon the supcrstitious

points, and, as Mr.. Panin has shown
them, their relations of their groupings

For instance, In these first eleven
verses OF Matthew the vocabulary con-

ems; or these words there are twenty.
eight, or four sevens, which begin with
Vowels, and twenty -one, or three sew
ems. which begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevens between
vowel words and consona mt words lust
ly might have been deemed accidental
but for the fact that Of the forty nine
"OiNS AOIbl-lNO OF tnem are nouns
six sevens-and seven are not nouns"
is the comment Of the writer. "Of the
forty-two nouns there are thirty-five
proper nouns, or five sevens, while
seven are common nouns. or the thir-
ty-hve proper names four sevens are
male ancestors of Jesus and seven are
not such. Not only then is the distribu-
ton of the forty words of the vo-
cabulary of sevens as between vowel
words and consonant words, but also
as between the parts OF speech"
As further and absolute proof that
these phenomena OF the sevens are not
accidental Mr.. Panin points out that
the forty-nine words Of the vocabulary
show fourteen words that are used but
once, while thirty-five OF them, or FIVE
sevens, are used more than once. His
conclusions. after an exhaustive ar
rangement OF the "seven" features, are
that mot even the choice of the Ian
