An Early Writing Paper.

Many centuries before Christ, Numa
left writings upon the papyrus, whence
Our name paperis derived. This plant,
which was revered 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 Jogdon, 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
fringe of hair-like leaves, which circle
a blossom of slender spikeets. Be-
meath the brown sheath which envelopes
the root. stalk of In dark-gre plant
lie o her sheaths which are very trans

leaves and dried IN the sun, were glued

"A new school to promote artistic
dress cutting, which might give exam
pie 10 America, has been started in the
fashionable quarters of London. The
prospectus. among Other things. says;
ave aim to instruct any lady in the
womanly art of dress-auttlng until she
is perfect We teach how to cut any
kind of dress to fit any shaped figure
perfectly with saving of material.
We teach how to shape a skirt so that
it will drape artistically. There are
thousands of ladies who have the leisure
and ability to make their own garments
if they did but possess the requisite
knowledge of cutting out. Our aim is
to supply that want. 1t is becoming
recognized more and more every day
that the useful accomplishment are a
greater necessity and more womanly
study than the mere elegancies.

Not many years after the war OF the
Revolution there was a Jury trial in
viii, h the plaintiffs counsel supported
his case by quoting the common law of
England. There were two or three old
soldiers on the jury, and the defend
ants lawyer, mere pettliogger,
thought that an appeal to their lgnor-
ance aud prejudices would be the most
effective reply.
"Gentlemen," said he, assuming the
air of an indignant patriot, "how dare
the counsel quote to you the common
law of England. Some of you helped
to give that country q good beating,
and are you to be insulted by having
its common law flung at you. Why
didn't the counsel quote TO you It's test
law? l tell you, Gentlemen, that we
Americans are worthy OF having its
uncommon law quoted to us. . Hewon
