j Iajer of pulp that remained va3 ; pressed and dried. When dry it 1 was found to bear upon it tho . marks of the fibor that composed ' the bottom of the sieve. : These fibers seem to have been ; twisted reeds, and tho mark they I left on the parchment took the i form of wide lines running across

and across diagonally. In those days the watermark was regarded as a blemish since the fiber was thick and coarse and .the deep impression made on the paper proved a drawback in writing. The quill of the scribe found many a yawning gap to cross on the surface of .the manuscript "swiU-hbaek scripture" it has been termed. Hut when wire was substituted for fiber in the sieve, gays a writer in the Denver Republican, the lines of the watermark frrnw

thinner and less conspicuous. The possibilities of the usefulness of the watermark became ap

parent by degrees. It was first found to be of service in preventing the forgery of books and manu

scripts. Many a bogus copy of a rare work has been detected because the counterfeiter failed,- to take into account the watermarks of the original. The watermark of many a precious manuscript in the world's museums is alike its glory and its safeguard. And in the sphere of bank notes and paper money everywhere the watermark is most useful in protecting the notes from imitation. The term "watermark" is in

ality a misnomer since the mark

is actually produced by wire. Wiro ' is fashioned into the desired pat-! tern, figure or lettering. This is inserted beneath the sheet in the last stasres of its mariiifnrrnr nml

P PRINTING is the ambassador of trade. It is sent out to acquaint your customers with your business. It goes where you cannot be; it tells the story you would have told hnd you been able to go in its stead; it is the means by which you hope to attract attention to your house: to interest the public and secure patronage, if at all possible. In order to achieve these results and secure edequeat returns for the money invested, it is vitally essential that your printed literature have qualities. Ordinary printing is forgetable printing. Distinctive printing impresses itself upon the mind and brings results. 2he Courier CPrintery, By Ben Ed Doane,

Some time aco there lived a rren
