THE SYMBOLISM
OF WATERMARKS
ORIGINALLY PLACED ON PAPER
AS MAKER'S SIGNATURE
At Present it Signifies a Standard of
Quality and Its Use is of
Advantage to AiL
Watermarks, as they are generally
known to -"day, merely serve as trade-
marks, helping to distinguish one
grade of paper front another, and to
enhance for commercial purposes
the value of the liberal advertising
which the various paper mills em-
ploy. In earlier days the devices
were symbolic in their Character,
and stood as the signatures of the
papermakers rather than as an ex-
ploitation of the paper itself.
In those times, of course, theepaper
was all made by hand, and the me-
thod of introducing the watermark
was primitive, yet this .same method
has obtained in hand -made papers
with slight improvements down to
the present day. The mold is a •shal-
low box of wood, upon Which a fine
wire cloth is stretched, which is made
of parallel wire. This is called the
s,leve. The design to be watermark-
ed is made by wires bent into the
shape of the desired characters, and
attached to the surface of the -wire
,cloth. This results in making the
paper thinner where the device is
introduced, and the watermark thus
becomes transparent.
Of Ancient Origin.
'Watermarks are found in paper
200 years before the invention of
printing and. they represent the ut-
most diversity of design.Among
these may be mentioned the circle,
including the stylus and the star; the
bull's head and stylus, appearing in
many a variation; the bow andar-
row; the jug; the anchor; the cross-
bow; the scales, and the cross—in
multitudinous variety.
A. few years ago a volume appear-
ed in which many deductions were
made concerning these watermarks.
According to the theory advanced,
papermaking; was introduced into
Europe by the Crusaders or the
Moors, and first became prominent
in establishing the industry in Pro-
vence. .Here was the site of a primi-
tive civilization during the Middle
Ages, and it was also the home of the
Albigenses, who were the most pow-
erful opponents the Roman Catholic
Church had before the Reformation,
and who were both rationalists and
mystics; Reasoning on this basis,
the author claims that the early pa-
permakers were Albigenses, and that
driven from their strongholds, they
were obliged to seek new locations
for to establishment of their indus-
try. Never ceasing in their devotion
to their secret doctrines, they found
it necessary to devise some means for
communicating with each other and
the early watermarks, according to
this theory, provided an excellent ve-
hicle for accomplishing this purpose.
This adds romance and interest to
the sufject, but unfortunately the
author succeeds in providing but
scant authority for the basis of his
theory. It is still only safe to as-
sume, therefore, that these marks
were placed in the paper as a guar-
antee of their quality, and without
so serious a purpose as is suggested
in the theory advanced.
Until the invention of papermak-
ing machinery in 1'798, watermarked
paper was universal except in. the
inferior unbleached Swiss varieties.
Since that date it has only been oc-
casionally that the watermark has

been employed, and then for definite
trade purposes. In later years, how-
ever, publishers have recognized the
opportunity which, the watermark of-
fers to introduce their own mono-
gram, or, in other words, to give to
the complete volume unity to `which
the presence of the house mark con-
tributes in an indefinite but agree-
able way.
The Russian papermakers have
perhaps been the most ingenious in
developing watermarks, which in
some cases cover the entire sheet,
but the Japanese have been more
artistic. While the Russians employ
imperial wreaths, arms and portraits
beautifully reproduced, the Japanese
introduce in artistic fashion flying
birds, dolphins, floral designs, land-
scapes, buildings, mountains and
clouds. Some of these watermarked
sheets are really works of art, and
worthy of being framed as trans-
parencies.
The use of the watermark in mod-
ern paper is distinctly to be encour-
aged. A paper mill placing its sym-
bol upon the sheets which it repro-
duces assumes a heavier responsibil-
ity as to the quality and uniformity
than the mill which produces paper
without watermark, whose lack of
quality can never be traced back to
its original source. It brings in the
personal touch and the personal guar-
antee, and as such raises the stan-
dard, all of which tends to better
unity in the making of books.
The Return.

Who is this that comes,.
With the pride of banners lifted,
With the roll of drums?
With the self -same triumph • shining

That divine, bright fate -defiance
That yotiabore to France.
You! But o'er your grave in Flanders
Blow the winter gales;
Still for sorrow of your going
All life's laughter fails.
Borne flutes'of dawn the answer:
"O'er the foam's white track,
God's work done, so to our homeland
Comes her hosting back.
"Come the dead men with the
men
From the marshes far,
From the mounds in no -man's valley,
Lit by cross nor star.
"Come to bled with hers the essence
Of their strength' and pride,
All the radiance of the dreaming
For whose truth they died."
So the dead men with the live men
Pass an hosting fair,
And the,stone is rolled forever
From the soul's despair.

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now
Because style decrees that women
crowd and buckle up their teuder toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop it.
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freestone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re
move every hard or soft corn or callus
Prem. one's feet.
This drug is an ether compound and
dries in a moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without infiaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Clip this out and pin on your
wife's dresser.
An Absurd Question.
"You sign this deed of your own

lawyer.
"What do you mean by that?" de-
manded the large, florid -faced woman,
looking threateningly upon the lawyer.
"I mean there has been no compul-
sion ou.the part of your husband. Has
there?"
"Hint?" she ejaculated, turning to
look at the little, meek man sitting be-
hind her. "Frederick? I'd like to see
him compulse Pie."

He Was Careful.
To evade the draft, Sam decided
on the plea of imperfect sight. He
was warned by his companions that
he would have to be careful during
the tests at the recruiting office or,
he would be tricked, and Sam said
he'd be careful all right.
The time came and the examining
physician, pointing to a eard on the
wall, said; "How much of that sign
can you read, Sam?"
"Sign?" cried Sam, "'Say, boss,
where am dat wall?"

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf:
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and clic Shen the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
to-night—now—any time—will surely
save your hair.
Get a small bottle of. Knowiton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and• have the appearance of
abundance, an incomparable gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just a few weeks'
use, when you will actually see a lot
of fine, downy hair—new hair—grow-
ing all over the scalp.
