From the Aslitoii-uudi'i-l.yiH) (England) Rcpoi tor, Egypt, China and Japan are the coun tries In which the eailiost manufacture of paper is known to have been can led on, The Egyptian paper was made of the plant called papyrus, a kind of grass. According to the Information handed down to us, the dellcute inner libers were separated from the blade of the grass, and spiead upon the table In such a manner that they overlapped ono another. The table was sprinkled with water from tho Nile, which had, no doubt, the effect of moistening the natural gum of tho plant so as to make the libers adhere. When the first layer of papyrus fiber was complete, success- 'Ive layers wero placed upon one uu ' other until the paper was thick enough, ! These layers wero then pressed to gether, and the sheet of paper was dried In the sun, Tho best quality was preserved for uilglous uses, and not allowed to lie exported.

It then slowly began to glvo place to paper manufactured from cot ton and other materials, which art was apparently learned by the Arabs in Asia, and Introduced by them Into En rope, This manufacture had apparent ly spread In western Asia fioin China, where It Is known to have existed at a very early period. Paper was mado by the Chlnesp from some material or oth er as early us the beginning of the first century, and, according to their own account, the limiting of paper from cot ton appears to have been invented by them about 200 A.

For a number of years be has been one of Tho Tribune's eflicient carrier boys, lie has attended the public schools of Priceburg for four yeais.

A method of treating straw so as to make It- capable of being made Into paper was Invented as (comparatively) recently as the beginning of last cen tury. Various Improvements have since been effected, and there are now many mills which turn out nothing else than paper made mostly ft om straw and wood pulp, but the best and most im portant feature of these m.iteilals Is the stiffness they Impart to the paper. Spanish Grass. Esparto, the Spanish grass, has been applied to paper-making only within the last few years. Tho use of rushes for this purpose belongs to our coun try and dates from lbGG. The paper made ft inn this material Is white, firm and of good quality, and considerably cheaper than that made fioin wood. Nothing; Is moro rcmarltaulo than the great number and diversified new uses that have been lately found for paper. Besides being largely employed for making collars, cuffs and other articles of dress, It Is sometimes used for making small houses In the back woods of tho western states, of America which aie found to be warmer than thuso made of wood and sheet Iron. It Is used also for making boats, pipes, tanks and palls for water, armor firm enough tu resist musket balls, wheels for railway carriages, and even bells and cannons have ben made ot it.

Government Loses Money Preparing Gold Currency Baser Metals Re turn Fair Profit Over Cost of Manufacture Pennies in Colonial Days. Fioni the Boston Herald. A strange thing about our coining system Is that the government loses money hi coining gold, but makes a big profit la coining pennies. For Instance, in a $10 gold piece there Is exactly $10 woith of gold and 10 per cent, of cop perput In to harden the precious metal besides the cust of minting. A silver piece of money Is about half prollt, but the penny pays Uncle Sam best of all, as the blanks ate purchased at the rate of $7,1100 per million, That is, the United States government ob tains for 7 3-10 cents the copper blanks which by tho process of stamping are transformed Into $1 worth of pennies. Millions of Pennies. AVhat becomes of Ihe millions of pen nies coined each yenr by the govern ment is an unsolved problem. To sup ply tho demand tho mint at Philadel phia must keep on turning out new pennies at an average rato of '1,000,000 per mouth, This useful little coin has Its beginning, of course, hi a copper mine. By the process of smelting the copper Is separated from tho Iron or lead or silver In tho ore and Is bought by agents who sell It to a firm In Waterbury, Conn., who are under con tract to supply the government with copper blanks that Is, pennies un stamped.

CLOSE WORK IN GUESSING CONTEST Eight Named Mr. Kellerman as the Winner and Estimated tho Exact Number of Points. That The Tribune's Educational Con test attracted widespread attention is evidenced by the large number ot guesses on tho result that woie ic ccived. These estimates came from all parts of the city and from almost every town in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thousands upon thousands named Mr. Kellerman ns a winner, and a voiy largo number of these came very near to the correct figure, but the great tua joiity were altogether too high. Eight named the exact llgure, 1200 In her left the scale of justice. Around the ''oln are the words "Nco Eboracon sis," with the date In exergne, 17SG. Tho Vermont cents wore coined for four successive years. One variety has on the obverse an eye with rays ex tending from it, which are divided by thirteen stars; around the coin are; the words, "Quarta Deelma Stella"; re v( rse, the sun rising from behind tho mountains, a plow in the foreground, with the legend, "Vermont Ersluni Kes lubllca," with the date 17S5. Another type has on the obverse a. poorly cut head with tho words, "Vermont Aue tor," on the reverse, "Indo ot Lib," with the date 17SS, Another with tho same legend, reads, "Et Lib Inde, 17SS," Connecticut Coinnge. The Connecticut cents bear date 1785, 17SG and 17S7. Tho obverse has a head with the words "Auctoii ('ounce," on tho reverse a figure of Liberty holding a siaff in ono hand and an olive branch In the other, surrounded by tho motto, "Inde ot Lib," nnd the date. There are many varieties of this cent, all of which are very poorly executed.

Half cents of the samo type wero struck. This coin age was continued for two years, but upon the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, which prohibited tho several slates fioni coining money, the mint was abolished.

He probably mado a mistake, as no one would intention ally waste a coupon by using the samo number twice when there was such a wide range to be covered, but this mis take proved profitable, as ho is thU3 entitled to two prizes. The successful gucssers can get their prizes by calling at The Tribune oillco today or any time convenient to them selves. Late Saturday evening, when the re sult was still In doubt, it looked as If there would be little difllculty in de termining the winners of the guessing contest If Mr. Shepherd should prove to be In the lead. While other contestants were named freely, it was evident that the estimators did not consider that Mr. Shepherd was likely to win, and if he bad been fortunate enough to have finished at the top there would scarcely have been prizes enough to go around. As the guesses were received they were carefully sorted, each contestant's list being kept separately and In the order in which they were received. AVhon It was ascertained that Mr. Kel lerman had won, his guesses were taken and, beginning with the guesses which wero flisL received, all those who had named tho right figure wore taken out and the prizes were awarded In the order in which the correct guesses were received. When It was ascertained that eight had guessed the correct figure, then the next thing way to lind out who were the Ilrst two to guess within one of tho correct number. Beginning again with the first guesses, a search was made for the first coupons bearing tho figures ll!i9 or 1201. The first two found wero those of Mr. Kresge. Thoro were t large number of others with these two numbers, but as be sent In bis guesses earlier than tho others, under the rules of the contest he was entitled to tho two last prizes. ter of this city Is tho Russian horn peddler.

Tho industry was started about fif teen years ago by some poor Russian .Tows near the kosher slaughter house, Before that time tho horns wero sold with the hoofs to the glue makers and button manufacturers. They brought but a few cents a pound, and the glue buyers had no troublo lu getting all the raw material they needed, Tho manufacturers first prepaid! the horns by boiling and using nlkalles. Aftorw.uds they found they could se cure better results by treatment with cold alkaline solutions followed by anti septics, After tho horns have been cleaned, they are scraped and polished until they gleam like burnished metal, A few are varnished, but tho practice Is not recommended by the trade.
