RAMSAY. f& ENGLISH FIRST TO CHEW GUM In th Vesr 1635 a Recipe for Ita Man. ufacturo Wa Published In That Country. Chewing gum ln't new, and It Isn't American In origin, despite the fact that our Kngllsh roualna keep telling ua that gum-chewing la an American habit. In fact, they originated It them selves. John Bate, an Kngllsh writer, gave a recipe for chewing In 16:15. He called It "mouth glew." Here's Ih recipe: "Take Isinglass end steep It In wa ter until such time as you may easily pull It to piece, put It Into glas or put well loaded and aet It In halneo; that la, In a pot of water on the fire. There let It remain until all, or most part of It, Is dissolved; Ihen strain It tborow a wide halre selve; while It I hot, upon another course and close halre selve, and when It Is cold It will be like a thick Jelly. If you would have It of a dainty smell and aro matic! taste, put Into It a little cinna mon bruised, and a little tnar.lerom, and rosemary flower, while It I dis solving, and If you please a small quantity of brown sugar candy to give It a sweetish smstch." This recie Is taken from a book called "Mysteries of Nature and Art" French Papermaklng History. It wus from the early Saracens that the art of papermaklng was acquired by the French, and passed on to the other nations of Europe. The earliest papermakers of France were the vas sals of the French nobility who pur sued their occupation on the estates of their overlords, fabricating the precious material required for use by their masters, say the historians. Their production, together with that of the monks of the various monas teries, represented the only paper production activity of France, as It emerged from the gloom of the medieval ages. The first specimen of paper to be found In France beating an authentic date Is a document purporting to be one of the bonds given to the Jews by a lieutenant of Richard I of England for the purpose of financing his cru sade In the Holy land. It Is dated 1190 A. D. Ceyloneee Plumbago. Plumbago, Ceylon's most Important mineral product, I known all over the world for Ita luster, lubricating, polishing and binding qualities. In appearance it 1 a itroag black erys tallne. There are now about 1,000 plumbago mines In Ceylon, Including all the ahallow pits, open work and deep mines. The depth varies from a few yards to a much as 700 feet, Most of the mine are worked by na tives, the only Important one con trolled by Europeans being the Meda pola. In the majority of the mines the only machinery used Is the "da hare." This consists of s long wooden barrel with handles at each end. A rope Is wound around this with ' a oucket fastened to each end. It Is worked by seven or eight men turning the handle. Time Ha Brought Change. When I wa a young lady I was ex tremely thin and tall, and. very sen sitive In regard to my figure. Our club was about to give a masquerade which I was anxious to attend, but realizing how hard It would be for me to disguise myself, and yet wish ing to represent something original, I remarked this to a young rasa at the club,. He looked at me with a smile, and In (he presence of all the other members said. In a most sar castic voice, "Well, why don't yon wear a rubber on your head aad go as a lead pencil ?" Oh, if he ceuld only see me now, I know he would say, "put a couple of hoops around your waist and go as a barrel." Exchange. (10 by McClure Niitir SyadloeM.) "U. 8. 8. Birmingham, "Lisbon, Portugal. "Dearest Dollys "1 cannot begin to tell you how glad 1 am again to be writing you guess I acted like a cad about Ted Corllug but at the same time you must admit, little girl, that you gave me sums cause for anger. Dear, can't w call It quits? And ss for" The letter fluttered from Molly's fin gers. Who In the world was wrltltg to ber like this? Why, she bad never had a sweetheart in all ber lonely life, and out of a clear blue sky this. 8bs Bushed guiltily ss she thought of the "little glrlj" and hurriedly picking up the scattered aheets, finished reading. The rest of the letter wss filled with thrllllug tales of travel, bits of humor ous adventure, and between the Hoes a man's yearning for home end bls" girl. It was signed "Monty." Molly's life had been singularly un eventful as far as men were con cerned. Bver since she could remem ber she bad lived with ber mother as ber only companion the mother whose soul and mind were burled deep In a past of which she never spoke. The day the letter wss received shs bsd been, for ber, unusually blue atd lonely. She could not help feeling In her secret heart that the letter could not possibly be for her, end yet it was rather nice to be called "dear" Molly hastily snatched up the en velops, and as she scanned It a sec ond time the smils died from her face: "To Miss Doily Huberts, Sargent School, Cambridge, Mass.," she read. 8o that was It I 8he had frequently been confused with Dolly Roberts be cause of the similarity of their names, although they were aa different as night and dsy. Pretty, frivolous, tickle Dolly why, the whole school was talking about her now for eloping quite dramatically a week ago! Yes, and the man's name had been Car ling! She sat quite still. A daring thought had entered her mind; this Mot.ty ws a safe distance away, Dolly waa cer tainly beyond caring achool would ue closing uow In a week and Molly could vend him her summer address. Who would be the wiser if she wrote to Monty, pretending she was Dolly? She could typewrite her letters, so that Monty would not suspect; he was too far away to hear of Dolly's latest ca price. Molly, at this moment, was far from the placid being ber schoolmates thought her. The plan was carried through with out a slip. Molly wrote one of her Inimitable letters clever, humorous and sensible. An answer came In time, then letters (lew back and forth all summer and fall, Thua matters stood until one orlsp morning In early December. As Molly was leaving the school building, a tele gram waa put Into her hands, and with a sinking sensation It her breast, she tore open the envelop. The words stared up at her through a blur: "Meet me on 2:35 train today. Must see you Monty." ' Molly stood dazed; her little world was crumbling about her feet As the hour approached, Molly's sensitive soul shrank from the task, but somehow she found herself at the station, waiting with a heavy heart to break her poor bubble Into a thousand crystals. The train rumbled Into the station, the great gatea swung open, atd a throng streamed through. Molly, sick with misery, turned away and leaned despairingly against the Iron gate. Suddenly she waa startled by a touch on her arm, and a deep voice said a bit unsteadily: "Melly, . you were so good to come." In her distress she did not notice that he called her "Molly;" she did not even stop to wonder how. he kr.ew her. She had only an Instant's Im pression ef a tanned, rather good looking face, and earnest, smiling eyes, then "Oh," she cried, "you It's all a hor rible mistake I lied to you. I opened your letter to Dolly by mistake and I waa lonely, ar.d " The pitiful recital ended In what sounded, suspiciously like a sob, and the tall young man la the euslgn's uni form patted her shoulder clumsily. "There, new," he soothed gently.' "I knew all the time and I'm (lad Dolly did elope, because now I have you." Indignantly Molly shook off his hand, and demanded warmly: "Tou knew?" "Well, you see," explained the young man genially, "when I received your first letter I knew that somebody quite different from Dolly had written it. I made guarded inquiries of my sister, Peg, a senior at Sargent, and she told me about Molly Robbina, who was al ways being confused with Dolly Rob erts. It sounded reasonable and so well, I've bees busy falling In love with you ever since. Why, I knew you the minute I stepped through, the gates." Molly's opposition was fast dimin ishing. She allowed herself to be led to the street, but eace there she stepped suddenly, "We haven't been properly Intro duced," she declared, primly, "I doa't really knew yon." "What you don't know," declared the young man magnificently, "won't hurt you I" !
