Evolution OF Paper.

The earliest substitute for our mod
ern paper was clay tablets; the next
stage came with the use by the Egypt
ians of the layers forming the stem or
the papyrus leaves. Later skins OF
animals were used. Linen and cotton
rags were not used for the manufac-
ture Of paper until the eighth century.
In the last of the thirteenth century
paper was manufactured in Italy from
rags and fax. The first machine FOR
manufacturing paper in bulk was set
up early in the nineteenth century in
England. During the latter part OF the
century raw material other than woven
stuffs began to be used. OF late years
wood pulp has been used IN large
amounts for paper making.

DOG IS WAR HERO
Saves Young French Soldier Lett
on the Field for Dead.
Animal Refuses to Leave Side OF His
Friend and Drags Wounded
Youth to Safety.

Michael was larger, stronger and
more intelligent than the other dogs
attached to a certain division OF the
French army and he was a general IA
vorite among the soldiers. Michael, al
though most "sociable," centered his
particular affections upon a young
French soldier named Henri. Every
day at the soup hour Michael would
appear carrying tin can and place IL
beside Henri, who would fill 1t as he
did his own, and they would dine to-
gether.
The day came, however, when Henri
failed to return, and as the men Stun
bled back again to safety Michaei
scanned, with anxious eyes, every
pale, haggard face, his sensitive nos
trils quiverine with dread.
When the last man had been
accounted for and Henri was still
missing the animal darted toward the
battlefield and after some time re-
turned, greatly excited, and carrying
an old half-glove which belonged to
his friend. He could scarcely wait
for the attendants to bring a litter
before he started off again, his
great, intelligent eyes imploring them
to hurry.
In remote part of the field they
found the young fellow lying still and
cold. After hasty examination the
attendants left him for dead, hurrying
Rway to succor the living, but Michaef
refused to be convinced. Again and
Rgain he returned for assistance, ac-
cording to Our Dumb Animals, but
I'm vain, so he mounted his solitary
guard. his face almost humanity ex'
pressive of grief.
The attack took place about sun
down. and it was not until late that
night that comparative quiet settled
down upon the trenches.
suddenly the moon flashed out from
behind a cloud, and the alert sentinel
peered sharply about, then brought MS
rifle swiftly to his shoulder.
Not 20 feet away, creeping slowly
towards the trenches, but hating alb
ruptly every minute. looned a large
dark object. The sentry advanced eau
