An Early Writing Paper.

Many centuries before Christ, Numa
left writings upon the papyrus, whence
our name paperis derived. This plant,
which was reyered as sacred by the
old Egyptians, grows abundantly in
shallow streams and marshes in upper
Egypt and Syria. Bruce found it grow
ing in the River 10 don, and noticed q
curious fact, that it always presented
the sharp, angular side of its pear
shaped stem to the swift current. ! he
stem is eight or ten feet high, two
inches in diameter, and crowned with q
fringe Of hair-like leaves, which circle
a blossom of slender spikelets. Be-
meath the brown sheath which envelones
the rootstalk of this dark-g green plant
lie oher sheaths which are very trans
parent. These, when split into thin
leaves and dried III the sun, were glued
together, and formed the roll of papy-
rus, on which many of the ancient writ
ings have come down to us. The pa
per was both flexible and durable.
Specimens from Pompeii can be seen
in the museum at Naples In the fifth
century papyrus paper, OF which many
varieties existed, was largely manu-
fla tured at Alexandria, and ranked
high in the commerce of nations. Its
use continued until about seven or eight
centuries ago.-Ihc Interior.

A Partisan kitchen.


A fair average Paris kitchen is about
nine feet long and five feet wide. 1t
never has more than one window,
which generally looks into an obscure
dooryard some nine feet square. Along
the wall runs an iron-edged table four
or five feet long and about two feet
wide. In this table are cut from four
to six square holes, and underneath
runs shelf of stone or iron of lust the
same size as the table itself. The space
between this shelf and the table is
closed In front by iron doors. This
block against the wall bears tho gener-
al name of fourneau, and, with the ex-
ception of roasting, it is on this block
that all the cooking is DONE 1t lis diff

which is rendered possible by the use
OF these forneaux. Tea Kettles not ex-
