that she did it though Before her time
all paper was white.
"She was the wife Of William Eastes,
one of the leading paper makers Of
England in the eighteenth century. In
passing through the paper plant one
day she dropped n big blue bag Into a
vat of pulp tastes was IL stern chap,
and So since no one had seen the accl-
dent, Mrs. Eustcs decided to say moth

"Ihe paper in the vat. which should
have been white, came out blue. The
workmen We're mystihed. Eastes Ell
ragged Mrs Eastes kept quiet. The
upshot was hat the paper WIS sent TO
London, marked damaged to be sold
for whatever it would bring
but the selling agent in London
was shrewd. He saw that this blue
tinted paper was attractive. He de.
clarcd II to be wonderful new inyen-
ton and he sold It off Ike hot cakes
Mt double the white papers price.
"Eastes soon received an order for
more of the blue paper-an order that

In trying 10 yalnly fill.
"Then Mrs tastes came forward
and Told the story of the blue cloth
bag. There was no difficulty after
that IN making the blue paper. This
papers price remained very high the
fastcs having a monopoly in It."

Uncle Peter reused up out of IL doze

ON THE SPlRE.
Thrilling Incident Ia the Life of
James Freeman Clarke.


When James Freeman Clarke was
young man he visited Salisbury,
England. Here the beautiful cathe-
dral lifts its spire IOt feet into the
air. The splre Is topped by n ball, and
on the ball stands Il cross. From the
ground the ball looks like an orange,
but Its diameter is really greater than
mans height.
Workmen We're repairing the spire.
Mr.. Clarke saw them crawling round
!he slim steeple in the golden after
aoon like bugs on il bean stalk. The
Impulse came To him to climb the
Ipire and stand on the horizontal beam
of the cross. Accordingly Mt dusk.
when the workmen had left, the Young
American slipped IN and made his
way up the stairs to the little window
which opened Ia the wortmen's stag
ing. To run up the scatfolding to the
ball was easy. Then came the slightly
more bulging curve OF the ball 4
short platform gave him roothold. He
reached up put his hands on the base
of the cross and pulled himself up.
To gain the cross arm was merely
shining" up Il good sized tree. and
soon he stood ON the horizontal timber
and reaching up, touched the top of
the cross.
After enjoying his moment of exata-
ton he slid to the foot of the cross,
and with his arms round the post,
slipped down over the great abdomen
of the ball His feet touched nothing
The little plank from which he had
reached up was not there!
Here was II peril and one for cool
head aud sure eye. OF course he could
not look down. The hugging hold that
he had 10 keep on the bottom Of the
cross shortened the reach of his body
and made It less than when he had
stood ON the plank and reached up to
the cross with his hands. lie must
drop 50 that his feet should meet the
plank. for he would never be able 10
pull himself back If he should let him
self down at arms length. and his
feet hung over empty air.
Now his good head began TO work.
lie looked up Mt the cross and tried
TO recall exactly the angle ut which he
had reached for IT, To make his mem
DRY tell him Just how the edge of that
squire post had appeared. \ few
inches to the right or TO the left would
mean dropping into vacancy.
Rending his head away back. he
strained his eye up the cross and fig
ured his angle of approach. lie cau-
tiously wormed himself 10 the right
and made up his mind that here direct
ly under his feet must be the plank.
Then he dropped. The world knows
that he lived 10 tell the tule.
