Sharp pointed bodkins, made of bronze, of steel or of iron, were the first pens, and they were used for cutting out letters and hieroglyphics in the limestone, sandstone or steatite of eastern commie. Such pens were also used for writing Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made of soft clay, and after receiving inscriptions were dried in the sun o: in the fire. : , In the far east and in Egypt the camel’s hair pencil soon took the place of the metal bodkin. With the pencil letters ‘and the bark of trees, in much the same manner that the Chinese draw them on paper at'the present day. In Persia, Greece and Syria wax and leaden tablets came into use, and the stylus became the popular pen. The stylus was made of bone, ivory or metal, with one end pointed and the other flattened. The flattened end was used to erase errors made in writing. : The use of parchment and papyrus, however, called for a more flexible pen than either the bodkin or the stylus, so reed pens were invented. For making these pens a peculiar kind of reed was used, which was shaped to a point and split, similar to the pens now in use. ~In_ A. D. 558 it was discovered that quills made much better pens than reeds. The quills of the goose, theswan and the crow were used principally. Several centuries later, when ‘writing paper was introduced into England, the quill pen was still the favorite writing instrument. However, the quill pens had been greatly improved, and those from Russia and Holland were excellent, In the early partof the present century. there was a demand for something better and more durable than quill pens. Ac‘were made with horn, glass, tortoise hell and finally with steel, silver and gold. Itwas soon found that pens made of horn and tortoise shell softened under the action of the ink and were not so good as.quill pens. Nor were the silver pens very good: They were tooelastic and too easily worn at the points. In 1808 steel was tried in Wise’s barrel pens, but being. poorly mede and very ive they were nota success, At . Birmingham, England, in 1820 the manufacture of steel pens began in earnest, and they proved to be excellent. The first gross of steel pens sold in Birmingham brought $36 at wholesale, They were soon manufactured in great numbers and have been getting better and cheaper all the time, until now we can buy for a trifle the best steel pen made. Europe has always excelled in the manufacture of steel-pens, and Amer. ica is noted for the manufacture of gold pens.—Philadelphia Times, THE © TRANSCRIPT Leading Paper OF NEVADA COUNTY.

As for rum, it is colored with prunes or with tar, and savor is given by adding the raspings of tanned leather, In beer, instead of hops we find aloes, gentian, centaury and ox bile. In the milk we drink there are water, whites of eggs, brown sugar, rice, essence of carrots and the brains of animals, Sometimes there is even a little real milk drawn from areal, live cow.

A Thoroughly Honest Man, “In conversation With a politician,” said a lawyer to me, ‘I mentioned the name of a certain gentleman. ‘Now, there,’ said the poiltician, ‘is as honest aman as there is in town. Yes, sir, I tell you, he is the straightest man I know. He. is white,he is, You need never be afraid of him beating you, for he is honest to the backbone. When you buy his vote, you may be sure he will do ashe promises. If he happens to find out that he cannot carry out his contract, why, he won't pocket your money and say nothing. No, siree, he will give your money back to you every time. Now, that is what I call an honest man.’ "—Louisville Courier-Journal, Stale Bread, It is generally supposed that the staleness of bread arises from its becoming actually drier by the gradual loss of water, but this is not the case, Stale bread contains almost exactly the same proportion of water as new bread after it has become completely cold, The change is merely in the internal arrangements of the molecules.of the bread. A proof of this is that if we put a stale loaf into a closely covered tin, expose it for half an hour or an hour to a heat not exceed-ingthat—of—boiling water and then allowing it to cool, it will be restored in appearance and properties to the state of the new bread.—Brooklyn Eagle. acid or amidon, give it flavor with spe, ‘Ine Best mutual insurance policy against attacks of sickness is to be found in taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
