"Kobbing Peter to Pay Paul."
That proverb "robbing Peter to pay
P.muI" arose from the way iu which
the dean of Westminster was treated
at the time of the reformat inn. As
abbot he had been an independent
dignitary, but as dean he was placed
tinder the authority of n .specially cre
ated bishop of Westminster. This di
ocese after existing for ten years was
merged in the see of Loudon, and
many of the domains of St. Peter's
abbey passed into the hand of the
chapter of St. Paul's cathedral, thus
giving rise to the now familiar saying.
"It was by a hard .struggle." writes
Dean Stanley, "that the abbey was
saved in those tempestuous times. Its
dependency of the priory of St. Mar
tin's lo Grand was torn to pieces, and
its outlying domains to the east of
Westminster were, it is said, sacrificed
to the Protector Somerset to induce
him to forbear from pulling down the
abbev itself." London Chronicle.

WOOD PULP PAPER.
Forced Into Use by the Scarcity ef Rag
Stock.
In tho earty days of printing it was
hardly possible to employ anything but
first class paper in making books, for
the reason that wood fiber and wood
pulp paper had not then come into
use. At that time good cotton and
linen nigs were turned into line. firm,
pure white paper, well able to with
stand indefinitely the yellowing and
disintegrating effects of time.
As the increase iu the demand for
printing paper grew apace it was soon
found that there were not enough nigs
to go round. Thus wool pulp came
into use.
All vegetable fiber is suitable for
paper inakiiiir, whether it Ihi obtained
from nigs, wood, esparto grass, straw
or other substances. When these libers
are torn apart they are clogged with
gum. a substance that mut lie thor
oughly dissolved and washed away by
chemicals if the best results are to be
obtained.
Wood pulp paper is made of finely
ground wood, usually spruce, the
grinding being done with a beating en
gine, run at high sieed. and huge
stones between which the wood Is re
duced to a kind of pulp. That done, it
is made up into paper without any pre
liminary removal of the gum or oth
er deleterious ingredients. Harper'
