Ancestry of the Pen.

A university student wishes to be
Informed, through THE STATESMAN,
when the pen was invented. To
answer the question involves the his
tory of writing. The mound-builders
possessed written language, and the
cave-dwellers of the Neolithic age,
during the glacial epoch, also had one.
The best scientific data put these men
back so far that their antiquity is con-
sidered impious. The earliest mode Of
writing was on bricks, tiles, oyster
shells, stone, livery, and the bark and
the term "leaVes of a book" is prob
ably 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
100 B. G. Leather was also used, as
well as wooden tablets. Then the
papyruS came into vogue, and about
the eighth century this papyrus was
superseded by parchment. Paper,
however, is of great antiquity, es-
pecially among the Chinese; but the
first paper mill in England was built
in 1888, by German, at hartford, in
Kent. Nevertheless, it was nearly a
century and half-namely, in 1713-
before Thomas Watkins, a stationer,
brought paper-making to anything
like perfection. The first approach to
a pen was the stylus, kind of iron
bodkin; but the Romans forbade its
use, on account of its frevuent and
even fatal use in quarrels, and then it
was made Of bone. Subsequently,
reeds pointed and split, like pens, as in
the present day, were used.

The Law of Sex.

An English author, Mr.. G. r. Stark
weather, thinks he has discovered a
great 'law of SEX" of which the Lon
don Athen8um gives this summary
If the husband is superior to the wife
the family will consist mostly of girls,
and vice versa. Dark complexion is
superior to light; dark plants and
trees are the most hardy, and dark
horses the best. A square forehead
and prominent veins are SUPERIOR
a large prominent eye (Which "indi-
Gates conversational powers') is the
reverse. But the best indication OF
superiority is large and prominent
nose, Roman or aquiline, full third
of the length of the face.
Philosophers, lawyers, editors, po-
cts, literary men, and brain workers
generally, have large excess of
daughters. Wine merchants, tavern
keepers, small retail dealers, orators
physicians and musicians have a pre-.
ponderence of boys. Clergymen ap
pear just to struggle through the or
deal without mourning the stigma OF
inferiority, being equally intelligent
sober and moral, with their wives
and producing an equal number Of
boys and girls.
OF course, for the stability of thu
new law it becomes necessary to show
that musicians, medical men and or
ators are inferior. Accordingly tn,
first are Emphatic, the second are
made rather than born to their pro
fession (and the most distinguished a
an exception have large families o
dau0htprl. and mere public sneaker
do not possess "the highest order o
facilities or intellect" while in mos
of them "the base of the brain will b
found to predominant over the super
Tor portion"

THE GAMING TABLE.
A Well Known Austin Man in Trouble
at Caf00ea N


We take the following from the
Argonaut, giving the particulars of
the shooting of John James by A.
Cleveland of this county:
The little station called Catoosa, 1.
N, forty miles west of Vinta, was at
3 O'Clock Thursday morning the thea
tire of a horrible murder. At the hour
named party of men were seated
around table in the store of Hon. J.
u. Scrimpsher, playing poker. Two
of them, named A. Cleveland and
John James got into a dispute, the
latter charging the former with cheat
ing. Cleveland sprang up, drawing a
revolver. James, who was unarmed,
begged him not to shoot and threw up
his arm to ward off the bullet. The
spectators tried to interfere, but be-
fore they could do anything Cleveland
sent a shot into James head and he
fell on the floor, dying in few mo-
mentS. The murderer remained in
the vicinity for some time after the
death of his victim and IeiSurely went
away, no effort being made to detain
him. The body of James was placed
in hastily constructed pine box and
brought to Vinta, whence it was for
warded to his home at Cherokee City,
Ark, where he has a wife and family
and other relatives. He was car
penter by trade and had been in the
territory for some months, working
at house-building along the line of the
Frisco road. He had collected all
his wages and was waiting for the
train this morning to carry him to his
home and family, and engaged in the
game of cards more for pastime than
else when he met his doom.
He was very intelligent and had a
good education. 1t is said he claimed
with Frank and Jesse
James. His age was thirty-three.
Cleveland lives near Austin, Tex.
He has been buying and herding cat
tie in the Nation during the past
summer. AT one time he was mana
ger of Il large ranch in Texas. AL
though very affable, when drinking
he was demon. 1t is claimed that
he was drunk when he killed James.
He is said to have wealthy friends
who will stand by him in his trouble.
He will be hunted down by United
States deputy marshals, and, as he
will be tried at Fort Smith, Ark,
when caught, the chances for acquital
Are slender.

What a Baby Can Do.
philadelphia Call.


A baby can wear out dollar pair
of kid shoes in twenty-fOur hours. 1t
can keep its father busy advertising
in the newspapers for nurse. 1t can
occupy both sides of the largest siz e
bed manufactured, simultaneously.
1t can make the author of its beings
wash bills foot up to S. a week and
not be feeling at all well. 1t can
crowd to suffocation the smoking car
OF a railroad train with indignant
passengers between two stations. 1t
can cause its father to be insulted by
every second-class boarding house
keeper in the city who "never take
children" 1t can make an old bach
elor in the loom ABIDING use language
that, if uttered on the street, would
get him into the penitentiary for two
years. 1t can, in ten minutes, drive a
man frantically from his home and
cause him to seek the companionship
of locomotive blowing off steam.

The First Twenty-Four O'Clock.

A peculiar clock, which marks the
hours from one to twenty-four, has
recently been completed by Will
mington manufacturer. The new
timepiece is of the kind soon to be
adopted by several of the railroads.
The most conspicuous innovations are
in the marking upon the dial and in
the movement of the wheels which
run the hands. The minute hand, in
stead of making twelve revolutions to
every revolution of the hour hand, as
in the ordinary clock. makes twenty
four revolutions, while the hour hand
passes around once. The figures upon
the dial are marked in Arabic, instead
of Roman numerals. They are from
one to twenty-four inclusive, the
spaces between the figures thus being
only half as great as those on the dial
of the ordinary twelve-hour clocks.
The minute hand therefore marks the
half minutes as well as the minutes.
The railroads proposing to adopt the
new system as standard will prepare
new time tables, upon which the dis
tinction between trains marked A. M.
and those marked P. NJ, which is Of
ten overlooked by careless travellers,
will no longer appear.

Mackey on Gould.

IN l. JOufndl.I
Mr.. John w. Mackey, according to a
Nevada journal, expresses the opinion
that Jay Gould is one of the most
overrated men injNew York. He de-
clares that he does not fear him as a
business antagonist in the telegraph
line, and is mildly surprised that so
many of the great merchants of the
metropolis should stand in terror of
the little ogre of Wall street. The
Prince of the Bonanzas is the most
formidable foe who has ever challenged
the supremacy Of Jay Gould In the first
place, he is a man of immense force
of character, indomitable will, and
the very highest order of genius as a
financier. His capital is far greater
than that of Gould. The latter has
trunks full of watered stocks, the
nominal face value Of which runs in
to tens of millions but Mr.. Mackey
has the clean, cold cash of the Bank
of Nevada. If there is to be a battle
between the two it cannot fail to be
interesting to the whole country. 1t
is not improbable that the owner of
the ATLANTA may find himself
drowned in his own water before the
contest is over,

NOBLEMEN AT POKER.
An AristOcrat FIeeced IN Game On
Board a Steamer.

A faVOrlte paStime on board ocean
steamships is poker, and often the
stakes are very high. Our English
cousins are especially attracted to the
game. A short time ago distin-
guished company of lords and dukes
came over the water to invest in
Manitoba land. bringing with them
the equivalent of 100000. Upon
their arrival in New York City they
still had their money in the party, but
one man had no further interest in
Manitoba lands. He was an object of
charity until he returned home three
months later. This young man, who
is the third son of a nobleman near the
throne, had been given $4,000 by his
father to invest in American territory.
On the second day out the Duke of
Manchester proposed a four-handed
game in the state room. Fifteen min
uteS later the game was on. The pot
was at first restricted to e10 ante and
e10O limit. At the end of three hours
it was reckoned up that the heaviest
loser was only e1500 out. The ante
was raised to e100 and the limit re-
moved to 9100O. This wound up the
third son of nobility in short order.
The third son was dealt pair of
trays and the Duke of Sutherland re-
ceived three fives. One of the other
gentlemen threw up his hand, not car
ing to come in and make good the
blind that had been straddled by the
Duke. Manchester, however, had the
nerve to pay for an entire new hand.
After the third son had drawn to his
pair of trays, Sutherland to his three
fiyes and Manchester had received five
new cards, the hands stood four trays,
four fives and four skies respectively
"a combination that probably never
came out of any one pack before.
Betting began lively, being started
by Sutherland. The pot was raised
$4,000 each time around. Wine had
flowed freely and none of the gentle
men would back down. Township
after township of Manitoba went into
the pot. The size of the transaction
sobered up the participants. The
Third Son was the middle player. He
had no power to call and was obliged
to go the length of his pile. The end
came. The pot was boiling over with
100000, when the victim put in his
last G1000 and demanded sight fol
his money, which he soon received
but with bullying eyes.

Remarkable Spirit Nantes tation
LOldham County Era.

Some six weeks ago the readers of
the Era were treated to ten-line SEN
sational item, written by our Buck
ner correspondent, stating that spir-
its co had taken possession Of the
house of Mr.. DeBlois, who lives near
there. The Era inquired of the
residents of that hamlet, and found
the sentiment pretty equally di-
vided as to the truth of
the matter, and the subject was drop
ped, so far as the Era was concerned,
but subsequent Developments
lead us to believe that the
neighbors of Mr.. De Blois
are fully convinced that an IN
known power is getting in some mys-
FERROUS tricks about his house. The
house is small log one, and the fam
lily consists of Mr.. De Blois, his wife
and seven children. The medium
or the one who seems best able to
control the invisible works, is a little
girl about ten years Of age. She is
rather a delicate child, very modest,
and of a sweet, gentle disposition,
and brighter perhaps than most chill
dren of her age. She at first discev-
cred that she attracted the phenomena
by rappings in her immediate
vicinity, which moved as she moved,
and were alike demonstrative in or
out of the house. Tables at which
she sat moved, the chair on which she
would seat herself would show signs
of life and dance around the room
with her, and like demonstrations
would be made at all times. These
demonstrations became very annoy
ing to the family, and Mr..
DeBlois expressed the desire to
be relieved from further atten-
tion from the invisible agency. His
desire was not couched in language at
all elegant, and seemed to offend the
spirits, who have since been far more
demonstrative, going so far as to slap
members of the family, roll them out
of bed, upturn tables, and to have NO
respect for the feelings of the family
of visiting friends. The family, in
need of rest, sent the little girl to a
neighbours to remain at least one night
but the spirits took lodging along
with the girl and made a terrible
nights work of it in the house of the
neigbor. The excitement in the neigh
borhood is great indeed, and hundreds
of theories are advanced as to the
cause. The sympathy is great for the
family, who are well respected by al
who know them.
