According to Sven Hedin, the explor-
er, the Chinese invented the process of
making paper. On one Of his journeys
to the interior of China he found evi-
dence that paper Of a very fair quality
was in use by the Chinese in about
275 A. d. There Is a mill still stand
ing in the province of Chilftung where
paper was made in 2S9 A. D. and in
the village of Langtikiang. In a sub
urb of Canton. the ancient town of
Kwangtsu, Mr.. Hedin discovered a
hand mill where paper was made from
tree leaves several hundred years be-
fore Christ. But this process was very
expensive, and the product was used
only by the very wealthy. He secured
one ancient document written on pa
per made in this hand mill. The date
Of the document is 346 B. c.. figuring
on the time Of the Chinese calendar

Not only those especially interested
in books, but all wide awake citizens
of Stafford, cannot fail to notice with
pride the marked advance made by
our library during the past few years.
Our attractive building, and the ex-
cellent selection of the books therein,
offer ground for congratulation. What
has been done is, however, only a be-
ginning, and new means of improve
ment are continually suggesting them
selves. The book-buying committee
takes pleasure in bringing before the
town an opportunity to help strength
en- the resources of the library in the
reference department.. For the man
who is studying up a subject for de-
bate, and wishes to know the thought
of the public on both sides of the
question, for the woman who is writ
ing paper for her literary society,
for any of US who are interested in
increasing our knowledge along some
especial line, there is no more yalua-
BILE field for reference than that offered
by bound periodicals, made accessible
by Poole's Index. For instance, here
are references regarding ship subsidy,

This example is enough to show the
value of classified index. Atten-
tion need not be called to the wide
range of subjects treated by the mag
azines. From generous patron our
library has promise of a Poole's In
dex at any time when the supply of
periodicals on hand is such as to war
rant its use. Unfortunately, we lack
the periodicals.. We have only one
complete -Harper's Monthly. Is
there not . possibility that "a little
ransacking of our attics would go far
toward supplying this need? Have
we not all old magazine copies which
are rarely read, but which would be
of great value when supplemented by
the contributions of our neighbors
and put at the service of the public !?
The committee asks especially for
Century, Atlantic. Scribner's, Forum,
North American Review, Review of
Reviews, Youths Companion, Har-
per's Round Table, st. Nicholas, and
scientific magazines, but will receive
gladly any others. Do not hesitate
to give only a few copies, as these
may be just what is needed to piece
out a set. Magazines may be left
with Miss Heald at the library, or
in cases where this is not convenient.
contributors may send their names to
W. E. Demond, and books will be
called for. The committee hopes for
a generous response.

A Remarkable Test
APPLIED BY A TEACHER IN A
LEADING UNIVERSITY.
Demonstrates the Power of DR.. vii
Iiams' Pink Pills to Restore Shat
tered Nerves.

Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the min
lister of the Christian church. of No.
2010a street, South Omaha, Neb., tells
now her daughter has been enabled to
resume her professional work as 4
teacher after suffering for nearly three
years from severe nervous prostration:5
when she was passing from girl
hood to womanhood.' says Mrs. Lane,
t'she suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her, but few boxes of DR..
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
while she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
TO overwork, first as q student and then
MS a teacher in a large Iowa institution
Tor orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the
strain finally told on her. She became
pale, weak, nervous, unable to sleep:
ssle had no appetite and she suffered
from severe headaches. Then came a
complete breakdown and her work had

Hams Pink Pills had already inspired
In us led us to try them again in this
emergency. Improvement came at first
slowly, and we sometimes doubted
whether she was gaining. but we no.
ticed that whenever she stopped TAX
I'm gthe pills she fell back. and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived, and so we kept up the treat
ment until she recovered her usual
health and was able to take a position

Is happily at work. My mother, my
daughter and myself have a we'll found
cd confidence in the merits of DR.. Will
Mans Pink Pills and are always ready
to recommend them
This is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease at its source
and effect fundamental cures in all dis
eases having common origin in i'm
paired blood or nerves. They arrest
physical decay when II seems inevitable
and find a road to restoration when
the doctor misses II. They are sold by
all druggists turnout the world.
