Ancestry of the Pen.

The earliest mode of writing was On
bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stones, ivory,
bark, and leaves of trees, and from the
latter the term "leaves of book" is
probably derived. Copper and brass
plates were very early in use, and bill
of feotfment on copper was some years
since discovered In India, bearing date
one hundred years B. G.
Leather was also used as well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyrus
came into vogue, and about the eighth
century, the papyrus was superseded
by parchment. Paper, however is of
great antiquity, especially among the
Chinese; but the first paper mill Ia
England was built in 1856, by a Ger
man at hartford, in Kent. Neverthe-
less, it was nearly century and half
namely, in 1713-before Thomas
Watkins, q stationer, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approach to pei was the
stylus, kind Of iron bodkin; but the
Romans forbade its use on account of
its frequent and even fatal use in quar-
rels, and then it was made of bone.
Subsequently reeds, pointed and split,
like pens of the present day, were used.

Shrinkage.

Jones says that the white flannel suit
he bought year ago proved a very
economical investment, and has been
of much use in his family. Jones
weights $50 pounds, and when he
bought it it fitted him remarkably well.
After the first washing, his eldest son,
who weighs 100 pounds less than Jones,
senior, found it an excellent fit. Two
washings more made it delightful for a
youth of nine, and at the end of the
season the baby was adorned with the
habiliments, which had shrunk just
enough to make them fit for a child
out of creeping clothes. This year
Mrs. Jones uses them as a dishcloth.
Where all that flannel has shrunk to

His Prescription.

In one of the small mining camps in
the Black Hills lay big Cornishman
stricken with fever. His wife, being
unskllled in remedies, hunted for
doctor, failing, however, after a long
and patient search, to discover any
thing better than veterinary surgeon.
What would you do, DOCTOR" she
cried, eff your own husband was deliri-
Gus with fever?" Madame" said he,
4" know no more than you. I can only
cure horses and other brutes.'' 'sWell,
doctor" she replied, "my husband is as
strong as a horse. What would you do
for a horse? and for Heavens sake tell
me quick Madame should open
his mouth, pull his tongue out on one
side to prevent his biting me, and give
him this fever powder, paper, string
and ALL" Blinded with tears of graft
tude, the poor woman paid for the fever
powder and departed. History says
that the man got well, but he has a hole
in his tongue, and his wife has only
three fingers on one hand.
