II Was Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.

1t Was Invented ny the Greeks When
Pnpyrus Was Scarce.
There Is no evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside of Egypt during the whole
Roman period, and the industry of its
growth and manufacture must have
been large and profitable one. In
the time of Tiberius Il seditlon was
nearly caused by scarcity of paper,
and rebellious paper maker, IN the
days of Aurclian, boosted that he could
equip IN army from the profits of his
business-and did 1t too.
Parchment was invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and
the middle ages reinventcd it, There
is evidence that linen rags were used
In paper making us early as the eighth
and ninth centuries. In paper of that
period the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces Of cotton. hemp and other fibers
TIE known specimens are of oriental
origin and appear to have been clayed,
IKE modern papers, the material used
being starch paste manufactured
from wheat.
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper in England IS in the Brit
Sh museum ana dates from 1919 \, D..
and the oldest ON the same material IN
the Paris National library Is dated
1850. In 1885 the Christian successors
" the Spanish Saraccus made paper
II rags instead of raw cotton which
had been formerly employed.

RULES FOR CYCLISTS.
Quaint Regulations That Are En-.
fore ad In Foreign Lands.

fore I'd In Foreign Lands.
IN some foreiga countries and cities
LIere are rules aud regulations FOR wo-
men cyclists which are decidedly
quaint according to the American WAY
OF thinking.
Russian women are not allowed TO
own cycles except by royal permission.
and it Is sparihsly given. In fact. I'M
Ill comparatively lately, there have
been but few russian wheelwonien,
and the majority Of these belonged to
the royal family.
In France women cyclists are plenti-
full. but a curious law exists which
prevents a married woman joining q
touring club unless she can present u
signed declaration from her husband
that he Is willing that she should do so.
In Germany women cyclists are
obliged to pass an examination before
the city police showing that they have
perfect control OF their bicycles before
they can obtain permission to ride in
the streets. and they must carry with
them their license on their cycles.
III lcllill no WileelWO1lluu is aliOW-
ed TO take her hands from the handle
bars while riding in the streets, and in
Florence the fair cyclist IL compelled
TO carr, two bells on her machine to
warn pedestrians Of her vicinity.
These rules are all for the special
benefit Of women and do not apply to
mon, who doubtless are considered
more capable Of controlling the va
American.

The judge stroked his chin in way
that rieant he was seriously troubled.
All tie clerks in his offices knew that

you think?" broke In the judge quietly,
Il dare say She may love you enough
to sacrifice herself, only"
Love me enough:" repeated Gale
enthusiastically. And then more ten
derby: "Why, she loves me enough to
risk life with me! l. too, am willing
now to risk it, although there was

thought, when you're advising her to
take this step with you, of what the
world will say"
'Oh, likely enough. the world will
call her fool But let the world go
hang. When two people love each
other as much as she and do | tell
you there isn't much else that counts.
We are very serious, aren't we?

ueker people,
The kindly judge had taken such Il

go wrong, and as the dusk deepened
thickly he made one final plea.

telling me about-about the lady in

went on in a lower tone of voice, that
you can't surely take offense. No?
Then | may speak? It's like this: Ii
the woman You love runs off with
you, the word isn't going to say she's
Drawing it. Do you realize what
thing you suggest means to Il nice wo-
man-that the people she likes won't
speak 10 her; that her friends must be
among set OF people who really are
what she is only called, and that she's
thrown away everything but love for

"Oh you don't understand" inter-
rupted Gale.
-'who didn't have love big enough
for her TO keep her from running her
life" finished the judge calmly. Now,
of course, if this lady's husband is a
brute or doesn't support her or any
thing like that, she can leave him and
get Il divorce in regular order. I'm
not in for divorces myself though per-
haps that's matter of taste. But IL
she leaves him and runs away with an
other man
Another MANI" echoed Gale amaz-
eddy. Then an expression Of under
standing dawned in his eyes and he
burst into a happy, boyish laugh.
The judge stared at him for mo-
ment This lillable chap was incom-
prehensible after all.
Don't you see?" Gale began, grasp
ing his arm heartily. "She's not going
to run Off with any one but her hus-
band, the reformed rake. The lady in

tions the employers were the first to
take the aggressive action. All the

office buildings and firms, went on q
strike today. The company had order.

Pierre Scott and company, large

The first teamster ordered to make

the effect of the new spread of the
