Where Paper Came From.

Long years ago Il little Japanese
gentleman walked through his pretty
garden to his home; his hands were
clasped behind his back and he was
thinking as he crossed the bridge to
pluck fresh wiStera blossom that
hung just over his head. This little
gentleman had "a great many parcels
to send out from his shop every week
and he had always wrapped them in
silk; but this was an expensive ma
terial and he wanted something cheap
er for his purpose. All at once a wasp
came lifting toward him, but he thrust
it away that it might not nip his nose,
and 10. there at his hand was a wasps
nest! My, but he came very near
angering the whole family! Think,
then, what he might have suffered
from these sittings, for days to come!
What a shapely nest they had made
now he same to think of it. 1t was
wood pulp, softened into a thin paste
by the jaws of the insect, then form
ed and left to dry.
''Why can't / do that same thing?"
thought the Japanese merchant to him
self. Get certain wood, form it into
pulp by means of water from the
river nearby, and make something like
this wasps' nest in consistency, to
wrap about my packages So this
WAS the way paper was first discover

path of a gentleman who walked one

The Insect Tax.

Do you realize what an enormous
try are upon the farming industries?
The figures, as given by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. are so large that
they are beyond the grasp of an or
binary mind. We ought to encourage
their enemies to our utmost ability
Parasites are the most effective but
birds do much more than they get
credit for
c.. l.. Marlatt of the Department of
Agriculture in Washington. ID. c.. has
prepared a statement as to the loss by
insect pests in the United States each
year, relates the Century Magazine.
He notes that the losses each year in
all the plant products of the soil, both
i'm the growing and in the stored state,
together with those in live stock, eX-
ceed the entire expenditure of the ma
tiOnal Government, including the pen
sion roll and the maintenance of the
army and the navy. Placing the value
of these products at S5,OOO,O0O,O00 per
year. he notes an annual Shrinkage,
due to insect pests. of fully 10 per cent.
in many cases of 30 per cent; but at
10 per cent. $500 900. 900 is the mini
mum yearly tax which insects levy
upon the products of the farm" This
does not include loss to farm products
in storage. 800. 600, 900; or to natural
forest and food products, also $780,
600. 600: making a total loss of $.Oaatc
600. 900: making Il total annual loss of
500. 10000 directly traceable to insect
pests.

week? Sunday, because all the rest
are week (weak) days.
What is that which comes with a
coach, goes with coach is of no use
whatever TO the coach. and yet the
coach cannot go without it? Noise.
Why is miss not as good as a
mile? Because a miss has only two
feet and mile has $3.50.
In what month do men talk the
least? In February, because it is the
shortest month.
Why is a room full of married peO-
pie like an empty room? Because
there is not a single person in it.
What is that word of three syllables.
which contains the whole twenty-siX
letters? Alphabet.
What is the difference between a
bankrupt and a feather-bed? One is
hard up and the other is soft down.

added. On the other hand, the bru-

blOnde-certain cOlOrs must be entirely
omitted from her range. Deep orange,
strong browns, with gold tints, and the
deep tans, and something navy blue,
with crimson trimmings, are her best
choice
And the girl who is delicate1y
''brown,' like the nut, must use GER
tain cOlOrs that will bring out her
coIOrings best. Warm grays like the
puce; red browns, rose red, mas
turtium, ecru, apricot color, peach
blossom, amber in its tawny tones, and
ivory white are all good for her.
For the sallow blonde, who is the
usual victim of misplaced color placed

is perfect magic in a sort of reddish
yellow, with creamy accessories close
to the face. for sallOw blonde.
Where the hair is neither light nor
dark. the eyes sometimes hazel, more
times blue, and again gray or blue
gray. great attention must be paid to
the coloring of the skin; if that is
clear pink and white, all the shades
of mauve and purple are good, and
also the blues with green in them, and
the green's with blue lights. On the
other hand, if the skin is sallOw. such
colors are not becoming.
Eyes often show tinge of green,
and where this is noticed reds of the
darkest are to be worn; bright reds if
the skin is fair and clear, and darker,
rich reds if it is otherwise The pale
shades of pink, green, old rose, and
silver gray are choice for evening
wear, but all the putty or fawns
should be avoided; they partake too
much of the actual cOlOring, and are
never becOming.-NewY York Globe.
