ALL ABOUT PENS. &
and Evolution.
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,

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.
