Next to cotton spinning, the production of paper is- Japan\u2019s greatest industry.Centuries before Occidental Peoples learned to manufacture paper |fram.rags it- was being made in China from actual fibres.From China this Art was carried to Europe through Central Asia by the Arabs.Egyptians are considered to have been the first paper makers, but their papyrus \u2018was not real paper, but merely the peeled bark of the reeds growing on the banks of the Nile, The material for making paper first employed by.thé Chinese was the so-called paper mulberry \u201cbush, \u201cwhich is known as kozu in Japan.The value of the anntal production of.Japaähese machine equipped mills js about $7,500,000, and that of the hand In 1909 there were twenty-seven factories with 182 machines for the production of \u2018Euro- per in operation in Japan, and \u2018these had a total of 6,48 employees.The.quantity of European paper produced by these mills in 1909 amounted to 123,947 short tons.As a result of the erection at Toma- komai, on Hokusku Island, of a newspaper factory whose dally output is sixty-five tons, the amount of machine made paper has recently shown a remarkable inerease.An American was engaged to superintend the erection and starting of the machines in this mill.His success induced the company to engage him further in reorganizing other mills which it owns in Central Japan.Although naigve: paper - bas been made from ancient times, it was not until 1872 that the manufacture of European paper was commenced.year the Oji paper mill was established, which uses rice straw, rags and waste paper.After the Saigo rebellion in 1877 a great demand was created for European paper by the rapid adoption of printing in Japan.Printing paper is the most important kind manufactured, and its total annual value is $3,202,000.The next in importance is cardboard, with a total value of $605,000.\" Whereas native paper is manufactured mainly with hand machines in rural districts affording an abundant supply of pulp, European paper is manufactured 1n large cities like Toklo, Osaka and Kobe.Hand made paper is \u2018produced principally by farmers as a secondary occupation which they can pursue in seasons when there is nothing to be done in -the flelds.There are no less than 60,000 familles engaged in this industry.Japan has been quick in utilizing to the utmost its assets in bringing the manufacture of hand- \u2018made paper to a high modern stand- In the districts.where this paper is made there are experiment bureaus equipped with up to date instruments \u2018and apparatus for testing and selecting the various kinds of raw material not only , for indigenous Japanese plants, but also imported fibres.Co-operation is the secret of the success of the hand-made paper industry.In every manufacturing district there are guilds which supply the farmers with raw material and find markets for their product.Experiments have proved that imported wood fibre may be substituted without detriment in certain kinds of paper for the high-priced native fibres.The United States is not a large exporter of paper pulp to Japan.The value of Américan shipments of pulp to the Empire :n 1910 was only $50,000.This consisted \u2018maily of bleached poplar soda.Sweden leads in the sale of pulp to > Japan.pe THE KING'S TASTE IN BOOKS.(Bristol \u2018Times.\u2019) A highly interesting indication of the King's versatile tastes in literature is afforded by the following list of books included in the library which he took with \u2018him on his voyage to India in the \u2018Medina\u2019: \u2014 Essays and Biographies (Macaulay).Froude\u2019s Short Studies.Barlasch of the Guard (Merriman), With Edged Tools (Merrican.)

he asked that their reply be inserted in the minutes.Los Ald.Tetreau at once read.an amendment, : which \u2018was - secohded : by Alderman Turcot, and.which, while satisfied with the increases to policemen and firemen, expressed.the con- | viction that the wages of laborers\u2019 and carters \u2018should \u201c bè\u201d\u201d advanced.twelve and.a half percent.\"If decreed * with instructions.xt of saldry Increases, placing a limit of $300 on the advances given to the attorneys and the heads of the departments, and putting aside the $100,000 set apart in the estimates for p.ssible- reductions, : All this was \u2018to be done in order to ascertain wher: ther affairs could not be arranged so as to provide an amount of money to >the.wage terms of .this amendment.The.attitude of the Board of Control was then explained by Dr.La- chapellé.Every -argument advanced | in the Council, he said, \u2018was weighed by -the Controllers in \u201cpreparing the budget, and so earnestly were.the distributions adjusted that.it was impossible for them to find more funds for wages.It would be useless to send \u2018 back.the budget {for - further consideration., Ald.Turcot, who was the next speaker, mentioned that large increases in salary voted in the budget to Mr.At- water, and Mr, Lavalee, -of ithe law department, Mr.George Janin, city engineer, and Mr.Pelletier, city controller, as well as some of the other of- ficlals, He said that, with the exception of Mr.Pelletier, from 25 to \u201865 percent remuneration of the heads of departments should be kept lower, and that higher wages should.be given.to the laborers.This i8 not election talk, he averred,and then he professed that his efforts were being made out | of pure philanthropy.He feared that if wages were not improved in.Montreal the city would have to open soup kitchens.Co : In the midst of these remarks Al.L.A.Lapointe motioned to the growds\u201d in the gallery, and clapped his hands.A few of the audience joined in*the.applause.: : \u2019 © Ald.Turcot said that Controller: Ai- ney, in his address before: the- all-night caucus, had wrought harm to organized labor.By that address many -al- dermen who were prepared to véte for, the increase of twenty-five cents a.day.for laborers, and who listened: to.Mr.Ainey, were induced to vote against the increase, although they had promised to do so.! © : Ald.Tetrean seconded the efforts of | his \"ally by making a suggestion -oh the way to find the extra money needed.\u2018Take the allowance for the increase th the wages of the laborers,\u201d He said,:\u2018and if there is a .deficit \u2018in\u2019 the budget let.the Mayor, cortrollers- añd aldermen remif some of their salaintés.He was willing, to give up.his thousand.dollars & year for the workingmañ.\u2026 Controller Alney said-that-the Chief city attorney.and -ihis assistants » had their salaries fixed, by statutes at.Quebec, and the heads of other: depart-\u2019 ments were not receiving salaries commensurate with similar positions in private.life.It would be impossible, he said, to find the money to pay an increase \u201cof twenty-five cents a day.He was not here to be the \u2018slave of twenty-five\"hundred civic laborers,and impose so much greater burdens upon the thousands of other workmen who would have to pay the extra.advance.in having sidewalks and.sewers constructed past their doors.\u201cWhy should Montreal pay a larger wage.to its laborers than Toronto or Winnipeg,\u201d he asked.\u2018Montreal actually was paying its labor as much as any other city, or more, than the Dominion pays.In the city the government.was paying only $1.70 a day for-laborers\u2019 «11 210 = Ald.Turcot said: \u2018Mr.Ainey.forgets that the government which paid that- wage is defeated.aT Laughter came from the galleries.: Mr.Alney said that it was all right for those aldermen who were asking.for the higher wage.to talk, but he and his confreres had a: great deal more Tesponsibility than :their \u2018eritics had.In.Moptreal old.men\u2019 were: employed, while.in New York laborers had to undergo.a medical examination,, rejècte \u201cMt.Ainey was sure that the trades Unions .of Montreal would endorse hig.action, \u2018and he waa convinced thet this agita-\" tion.wonld \u201cwork rin to organized \u2018 a8 decreas v le toliFeduc- | tions of \u201csubsequent assessment.\u2019 nt, \u2018back Alderman Tetreat\u201d Suggests That the Mayor, Controllers| \u2018and Aldermen \"Give up a Portion of Their Salaries Te \u2018to Help the Workingman.RR thousand laborers could dictate the conduct of the council the same thing might take place asin other cities of this continent where contract labor replaced all.sorts of day labor.It would have.been better to lave avoided discussion of this problem, said Mr.Ainey.Personally, he felt that he had risked more than the rest, but he only was doing his: duty.Mr.Ainey was told the other night by an alderman that beefsteak was: dear, for the workingman and he should be givén sufficient wages to: enable .him to buy -beefatéak every day.Mr.Ainey would say\u2019 that the remedy in reducing the cost of this food lay with.thet alderman, who was, a butcher, and could simiplÿ charge less forihis meat.+, Ald.*Lammoureux declared that the i beet.steak -

Pie Chancellor was in residence! Philip regarded the fact leisurely, and turned with equal leisure from it to wonder if the Chancellor had received bis letter.Till now le had had no answer.He was also interested as to the fate of the other letters which he had \u2018dispatched from his = cell.- Now that he had found that the consular machinery had not been sel in motion by him, he had a renewed suspicion of all the circumstances.His letter\u2019 to Mr.Wakeling had miscarried, and it Was the German \u2018drummer\u2019 who had saved him.He could not overlook the fact, and somehow it seemd to possess a curious but undetermined -signifi- cance.He wrote that morning to Berlin, to Paris, and to Captain du Vallon at the Castle of Waldthal.He did not write to His Excellency.Yet it was from His Excellency that he first heard\u2014indeed, in the evening of the same day.Count Cavari wrote through his secretary, as every.busy clamation of the n ledging the receipt of Sir Philip Temples letter, and stating that he had taken steps to communicate with: -the necessary authorities.Upon this formal document \u2018Temple had two criticisms to make to himself\u2014the one that the Chancellor had eyidently accepted.hls uncorroborated statement as to his identity, and the other that it came, so to-speak,\u2019 a day after the fair.| way and'day, more especially'as it was clear evidence that he was to be troubled no more in.the matter of à ridiculous charge.The next day brought a confirmation of this, in an official communication from the authorities, whose investigations had proved the truth of the suspect\u2019s.claim to be.an important English gentleman.Simultaneously 'he received a second letter from the Chancellors\u2019 secretary, eXpressing regret at the dbsurd mistake of the police and a hope that Sir Philip Temple had not been greatly inconvenienced thereby.Le It was a civil fhinæ for a busy man of \"affairs to have done, and Temple recognized this.-At.the same time, he was.exercised: still about.his \u2018unanswered letters.As he had thought, no one had 'dafed to\u201cintermeddle with stole goods amounting\u2019.to £ and distinguished man must, acknow- (AU rights reserved.) However, it was welcame ri -its +.buen about completed, i tan t EDT ae The, \u2018horfon \u201cFrom the | at all, but at each other.- .Ketschinski.\u201cNow, the Chancellor's postbag, but it was abundantly clear that no respect had been paid to any one else\u2019s.We have heard as to the Consuls; apd the next mail brought Philip.communications from Berlin and \u2018Paris, from which it uf v appeared that \u2018his original letters to LT both Prince von Stregen and the Marquis de Pomeau Laval had only :just been delivered, owing, mo doubt, to |! = delay in the post.was still silent.| .It seemed, then, that the Chancellor \u2018Captain du Vallon - Was the only one who had received his letter\u2014in due course.Temple passed many things in mental review, among others the operations-of agents provocateurs, of which he hdd read, and various other reputed tricks .of \u2018the criminal police of different countries.After that, as.the weather was clouding, and the\" valleys merged in mist, be spent a dull afternoon Indoors, with s.:çh -00 js as.Ye scanty libraty of the hotel offered and his own reflections.Ameng these Tatter reappeared the affair which .was mainly responsible for bringing \u201chim back to Waldthal.Now.that he.was discharged his mind reverted to\u2019 the dead \u201cwoman, and he pondered a good deal on the tragedy after \u2018he had tired of hig literature.He wrote to His Excellency\u2019s secretary, acknowledging politely what he might consider to be official apologies for his arrest, and in the same letter stated his intention of advertising in the hope of throwing some light on the identity of the un- kndéwn victim.He drew up the.same afternoon a carefully framed advertisement which he sent off to various papers in England, France, and Germany, giving his own initials and address at the.Hotel du Cerf, Waldthal.From this it seemed that he was mot at present designing to leave Eisenburg, despife.the obloquy: of his arrest.As à matter of fact -he had made up his mind to witness the Proclamation before he went on to what he had originally meant to be his destination\u2014Munich.On the day following this dispatch of letters Sir Philip Temple, armed with a fishing-rod and basket, took the road to the upper waters of the Larche, distant in the hills some five miles from Waldthal.= ; \u2018The \"same day at the midday meal two men were facing each other across the table in the chateau of Demarne,- in the Upper Odenstock.The château, an elegant building of the elghtéenth century, -was perched in a very: picturesque ahd romantic situation.:Bé- \u2018hind it the forests of the Odenstock, black and grim, sloped upwards to the crown of the hills, whence they rolled downwards in a tumbled confusion of vale and dale across the.plains of Montrais towards the border of Grau- mark, in the German hegemony.Northward and eastward the-whole of Eisentburg \"lay Stretched before the eye, \u2018with thé Castle \u201cof Waäldthal -in the middle.distance, -and even the: towers | and sp ; of the capital on the dim roms windows of De- marne, the seat.of the Boar of the Odenstock, a magnificent prospect is ever in the eye; Tor no.sooner have its shafts left the spacious, rambling park and gardens than they descend by the wilhite cataracts of the Larche, by gaps and wooded spurs, to the lower heights about Waldthal, and.thence again to the glittering plains in which the city of Eisenburg rises by the silver Effel.Yet of this wonderful view:the two.men at the table took no heed.They were not looking out of the windows L The.Boar, as he was popularly styled after the beast, that, even in modern times, still ravaged occasional¥y in the Odenstock, was clean-shaven; but his companion, short, and rather bald, wore a peaked of Vandyke- beard, -which.he plucked in an appavently abstracted and deliberate manner.~~ .\u2018I assure you, my dear Baron,\u2019 he said in his pleasant voice, \u2018that I was actuated by mere.idle curiosity.\u201d \u2018The narrative had been interrupted, and it intérested me.I wanted it finished.\u2019 \u2018Well, it wasn't,\u2019 said Favrinck \u2018bluntly.;'But it will be, said the other softly, \u201c1 cannot see: why you lay such stress.upon what appears to said the Baron.\u2018 Co \u2018It probably is a triviality,\u201d said his companion, nodding.\u2018In.my life I have.found trivialities often.to \u2018indicate significant things.: Floating straws, my dear Baron, show the direction of the current.I \u2018may be watching a straw that means nothing, but I watch it.I don\u2019t like losing chances, and, after-all, it hurts.no one and amuses me.\u201d \u2019 ,- \u2018Oh, if it amuses vou, Von Hau- ser \u2019 The\u2018Baron shrugged his shoul- dere, and did not complete his sentence = : \u2018Consider that he was interrupted in a very interesting story; and at a critical point of it\" went on Von Hauser, pleasantly.- \u2018He was privileged to be in the Castle on the night of-that interesting event.Think.of it! What would you not have given for \u201cthat privilege, my dear fellow?The Baron snorted\u201d \u2018He took there a dying woman for attention, an act of humanity; and he left at midnight and went \u2018tp the Hotel du Cerf\u201d =.The Baron looked up.7 saw him then\u2014a tall.rather slender, characteristic\" Englishman ?Yes, I saw him that night in talk with Maillac.\u2019 No doubt, ' assented his companion, and resumed in \u2018his \u2018easy way: \u201cHe \u2018told Maillac, it appears, \u2018that he designed to stay in \u2018Waldthal for .some little time and explore thig\u2019-he nodded \u2018out of the window \u2014 \u2018magnificent.domain of.yours.But he returned to England\u2019 in obedience to\" a telegram, was absent a few days, and came back.The day after his return he was arrested on \u2018the\u2019 charge.of being a certain - Barôn, do you know \"any one named Ketschinski ?He had turned his grey eyes on his host, who frowned and brooded as: if over.some -internal thought.(To be Continued) \" a - WHAT SAITH THE SORIPTURE ?Le December 22.7 | Have the gates of death been opened unto thee;

Oh, it seemed so far, ad it had looked so near.4 \u201cBut they fell into:a dear little pool, formed right: in a rock up in the Catskill Mountains, \"swwhere dear old Rip Van Wrinkle slept for so long;

then- all \u2018started out for a further run, soon overtaking many more drops of; water trickling down the steep path.Laughing, chatting, singing, they made a tiny stream, and tas grew larger as they walked, danced and ran along, often being joined by other little drops.\u2018Pretty soon they came to much larger streams which lowed between quite high banks and had, now and then, a small row boat on its surface.\u2018How delightful!\u2019 cried Crysta,.\u2018Let\u2019s go with it!\u201d Away they flew to join the \u2018branch.\u2019 -as it was calied.heard?Why, nothing less than that branch was gofng'to jcin the Harlem River go over into East River, out into the bay, and then to the ocean, east and south of New York! .Both Crystal and Rainbow were a little disappointed \u2018at the prospect, for they wanted to see the great city, with \u2018its\u2019 large schoolhouses; play with the boys and.girls on the streets; watch the cars on the \u2018L\u2019 and in the subway, and do a thousand things which would be impossible if they stayed with the crowd.So they decided to jump into the pail which a small boy in one of the boats dipped into thre branch, now and then, and go with him.This they did; and when he was rired of fishing pail, half filled with water, up the street with him; but son emptied it on the pavement.Most of it ran into the gutter and was carried into the sewer, but Crystal and Rainbsw stayed behind until the sun grew hot and sent down some long beams, on which the little drops of water soon climbed into a cloud carriage that took them out to sea and dropped them there for a bath and a nap, then drew them up toward the sun again, ready for ancther long tripu\u2014'New York Observer.pre ., À CHRISTMAS CAROL , \u201cBy Flori\u2018 Brent Hamilton.) .~~ Long long ago and far away, A Babe was born on Christmas Day, And Jesus was his name.His Mother, Mary, meek and mild, Humbly adored her baby child, Knowing from God he came.His earthly parents were so poor, They wandered wearily, before A place they found Where she could-lay her weary head, \u2018To rest upon her humble bed, With cattle round.And shepherds came from far and wide, To kneel that lowly bed beside; An angel led the way, .While from the East, led by a star, The wise men travelled from afar To where our Saviour lay.The wise men brought him treasure ' rare, - The simple shepherds, but a prayer To, sing.his praise.And we'll each bring a loving heart, To be of Jesus\u2019 gifts a part, This day of days.;
