oriain Of Paper.

At various times the scholars OF diff
ferent countries have tried definitely
10 determine the real discoverer OF pa
per in the eleventh century. 1t is to
paper that we owe the renaissance Of
letters. From time immemorial some
thing answering modern paper was
used in China. where 1t was manufac-
tured from silk. About the middle Of
the seventh century OF our era there
seems to have been esta blished In Ara
bia mandatory Of paper, and fifty
years later the way was discovered to
make it from cotton instead of from
silk, silk being a rare commodity out
side of China at that time and cotton
relatively plentiful. In the reign Of
Henry ii. of France Greek scholar
was sent to Paris to arrange sys-
tematically a catalogue OF antique
manuscripts In the royal library, and
a notation in his hand speaks Of what
was then known as paper as orig
mating In Damascus. The later in
yention of making paper from fax, lin
en- or hemp has been attributed equal
ly to Italy and Germany, but there is
evidence that it existed prior TO the
century. --Harper's.

were free coming to the door and jeer-

solving to get even, he procured a
large syringe. and. taking it with him
the next time he went to write lines,
he went round to the various desks
and sucked up the ink into the syringe.
BY and by he heard stealthy foot
steps coming down the passage. Near
er and nearer they came and at last
halted outside the door. They are
peeping through the keyhole." whisper
ed the future general, and. placing the
syringe to the keyhole. he squiIted the
contents through with all the energy
he could muster.
There was smothered exclamation
OF disgust. and then some one fumbied
with the handle of the door. IL opened.
