Who Invented Paper?

All the world knows that ths
Arabs transmitted from India tt
Europe, through Arabia, the zig.
ures with which we do our sums,
but it is not generally known that
we also have them to thank fol
paper.
At various times the scholars
of different countries have tried
definitely to determine the real
discoverer of paper in the elev-
enth century. 1t is to paper that
we owe the renaissance of letters.
From time immamorial something
answering modern paper was
used in China, where it Was man
ufactured from silk. About the
middle of the seventh century of
our era there seems to have been
established in Arabia a manu-
factory of paper, and fifty years
later the way was discovered to
make it from cotton instead of
from silk. silk being a rare COM
modify outside of China at that
time, and cotton relatively plel-

of France, a Greek scholar was

making paper from flax, linen or
hemp has been attributed equally
to Italy and Germany, but there
is evidence that it existed prior
to the fourteenth century. .-Har-

Balkan Perfumery.

One of the Incidental conse-
.quences of the conflict in the Bal.
kans is the rise in the price of
perfumery. Of altar of roses
Bulgaria is said to have practic-
ally the monopoly. Various at
tempts have been made to create
a rival product both in the chem
ical laboratory and in other soil
than that of Central Europe; but
Australia is the sole quarter that
offers any promise, while the
material which the Bulgarians
extract from the roses remains
superior to all others. These Bal
kan mountain roses grow in great
abundance, and when cultivated
yield marvellous amounts of the
extract. = Harper's Weekly.

The Spider and the Bee.

A correspondent of Country
Side was sitting one day upon an
English moor, watching a large
heather spider as it crouched ex-
pectant in its web. Suddenly he
saw the spider firmly grip the
web with its feet, and shake it
with all it's might. After a while
it repeated the operation, and
soon the reason became appar-
ent. Whenever a bee flew near
the web, the spider gave this
warning signal. It did not want
any such visitor. If a bee hap.
pened to get entangled in the
web, the spider at once cut out
the part, and so rid itself of its
unwelcome guest. That any
creature can weave a web more
intricate than a fsherman's net
and, moreover, that it should
possess the instinct or reasoning
power to put the web in the bes
place, and there patiently avail
its prey, suggests that the bor
der-line between instinct ant
reason is far from distinct =

He was offered a scrap with Ad

Richie also refused to concede the

would have brought him into the ring
close to 40, which is some beef for

Coffey battered Flynn in the face

became peeved at Coffey, and decided
to do little fighting. on his own

fusillade of rights and lefts, he belted
his heavier opponent all over the

When man like Flynn, one of the

Fair Golfers Get
Busy on the Links

MEMPHIS. Sept. 2S.-The women's
western open golf championship
opened here today. and one of the
greatest gatherings of women golfers
ever seen on southern course fitted
out for play. Chicago women are
prominent in the matches and prom
ise good scores.
Already. in fact, a number of wagers
have been made that no scores under
100 will be turned in by those who
qualify for the championship fight.
Considering the fact that 109 was the
low qualifying score made in the
southern women's championship in
May, 1t will be readily seen that the
golf to be played this week is ex-
pected to be of a vastly higher order
than anything women golfers have
ever done on the course.
