OLD CHINESE WALL PAPER
Made to Order and Stamped
Hand Painted or Printed
From Blocks.
y Daily News.

From tn Chicago Daily News.
1t is said that the European
notion Of wall paper was import
ed from China. There its or
namentaI use for screens, parti-
tons and the like was known as
carly as the fourth century. Au-
thorities on this subject assert
tnat it was Holland during her
naval supremacy Of the sixteenth
century which first began to
adopt and hand around the wall
paper idea.
The early Chinese wall papers
were printed from blocks, hand
painted or stamped with infinite
labor and exquisite art. They
were made to Order-produced in
sneets of varying dimensions ac-
cording to the uses to which
they were put. The modern
rolls of wall paper with a con-
tinuOus duplicate design vera
unknown. 1t was not unit,
the invention of the modern
printing and stamping machines
with cylindrical rollers that a
continuous conventional pattern
was favored.
As neither China nor japan
was a communicative country

mercial history Of Europe these
wall paper importations were
few and far between, and con
'iderably at a premium. Yet
.hey soon hit the European fancy
a good substitute for the
lrras and tapestries of the time.
Up to the end Of the seven

1uct was prohibitive in price,
however, and it was not until

Toward the end of the seven

DAKOTA GRAIN
SUFFERS BADLY
HOT, DRY WEATHER OF PAST FEW
DAYS, DOES DAMAGE.
CORN AT CRITICAL STAGE NOW
Unless More Rain Falls on South Da-
kota, A Sioux Falls Report Says, the
Corn and Potato Crop Will Suffer
as Badly as Small Grain Did.

Pierre, S. OAK, June 23.-The last
three days have worked havoc with
the small grain outlook in this state.
The intense heat, with but a limited
supply of moisture in the ground, has
made certain that the small grain crop
will be the poorest for years.
But with all that the reports, not
only locally but all over the state, are
that the corn and fax crops are yet
holding in good shape and with ordi-
nary rains will develop quickly and
nicely The rains would also help
out the hay crop to a large extent.
The temperature yesterday did not
reach 100 Showers fell both east and
west of the city yesterday afternoon.
The government forecast Is for show
ers for the next twenty-four hours.
Sioux Falls, 8. D.. June 23.-Owing
to the dry. hot weather the critical
stage for corn and potatoes in South
Dakota now has been reached, and
unless there is a general rain or local
showers within a day or two it is
feared both corn and potatoes will be
injured to as great an extent as small
grain has been previously injured.
