Many a State secret has been die ce>vered by the simple process of hold- ing a blotter containing an offset im- pression of writing before a mirror, and reading therein the reflection of the characters. Io safeguard against this hind of 'detective work, when writing private correspondence, many of the European royalties are known to have used black blotting paper, It is said that the former Kaiser had a particular brand of black blotting pap- er made to his special order. Although blotting paper in these days is used by the vast majority of People who write with pen and ink, yet numerous statesmen, lawyers and other professional folks are still using potinee powder instead of blotter for drying writing ink, for the reason that they are not willing to run the chance of having blotters studied by prying eyes The pounce is sprinkled over the freshly -written characters, thus causing the wet ink to immediately miry. Before the invention of blotting paper some four centuries ago, a fine amid was used by the average letter writer for drying the ink. To prevent the possibility of having her correspondence read by busy per- sons in her household, Queen Victoria used small pieces of titin blotting paper and tore up the pieces with her own hands after• they had served their purpose. King Edward is said to have been fond of thick blotting paper, and after having attended t.i a batch of T} s,4 F 1A., WA E 6 ST'ViE wishes you a -Happy and Prosperous New Year Seaforth, Ont. THE Z ENFORTH DEWS Icustom to order the top sheet of his blotting pad removed and 'burned, Blade 'blotting paper is, still being used to some extent in various for- eign government offices, and in some ease, this material is burned immedi- ately at the close 01 a business ses- sion. In Russia, long before the revo- lution, "black blotters were used by many of the nobility as well- as in carious departments of the govern- tnent, According 10 the Pali Mall Gazette of London, blotting paper was discos- ereti by an accident. This story is to the effect that a workman at a paper mill in Berlcshire one day forgot to put sizing material with the pulp, a mistake which led the owner of the mill to regard the resultant rough paper : as valueless. Later on, the owner had 'occasion to write a letter in a hurry, and to save time, he topk a sheet of the discarded stock. To his amazement, the writing ink quickly spread over the sheet. Then carne the thought to try the sheet as blot- ting .paper, The owner subsequently created such a demand for the new g paper a er that in time his mill had to lee devoted entirely to this line of product. Freedotti from Asthma. Asthma is one of the most distressing troubles, sudden in its attack and prolonged in its agonies; Frequently many things are tried, but nothing seems to give trope of relief.

These agents always come around telling how big dividends you will receive on your money. We have yet to see the first investor of such stocks to Show us that he received sufficient dividends, or the principal back. While Ruggles is letting the shareholders off with 1214 per cent, on the dollar, it, does considerably better than most of these investments, which practically give nothing to the investors, Take care, don't be greedy Inc big interest, and invest your stoney ill a safe place—Zurich Herald, personal correspondence, it was Ids Rod and Gun in nada.
