Facts About Pens.

For over 1000 years people have found
it necessary to write. Various materials
have been used to write upon, and vari.
Gus ins ruments have been used to
write with. The earliest we hear of q
pen is in the book of job, where he, the
author, speaks of an iron pen," prob.
ably pointed instrument for engraving
on one. For tue waxen tablets of the
alcients metallic stylus wss employed,
one end of which was sharpened and the
other fattened fer erasing the mai ks
and smoothing the wax. For centuries
the Chinese have painted their letters
with fine hair pencil. Pens of reed
were also used at very early period for
the use Of fluid ink upon papyrus; the
end of the reed was split, as the pens
We use at present. and they were about
the size of swans quill. The intro
duction of paper rendered finer pens
necessary, and the well known quill
pens of the goose and swan came next
into use. These were first employed in
Europe about the year A. d. $50. and
several centuries Poland and Russia
were largely engaged in raising fiocks OF
geese chiefly for their quilts. In a single
year, it is said, ST. Petersburg furnished
England with over p. 100000 of these
articles. In 1908. Mr. Wise, of Great
Britain, produced pens of steel. of barre
form. These were mounted on bone
handles, and could be carried in the
pocket. They were expensive aud little
used. Then, in 1920, Mr.. elliott of
Birming began manufacturing steel
pens He added many improvements
to the rude barrel-pen made by Mr..
Wise. The evolntion in pens had now
tho oughly started, and experiments to
make pen with durable point began
in England. Bone, shell, glass and
various other substances were used for
the body of the pen, while diamonds
and rubies were used for points; yet
pens made of these materials were costly
and unsuccessful. This finally led to
z old pens, the manufacture of which is
carried to the highest perfection in New
York, the best pens ing made here
and sent to Earope and other parts of
the world. The first diamond Tor
iridium) point ever put successfully oa
gold pen was done by Mr.. John Isaac
Low hihss tu huictiChu IcSiuluR LII Eng
land. The right to make gold pens was
purchased of Mr.. Hawkins by Mr.
Cleveland, an American clergy man then
in England. who, on his return, induced
Levi Brown, a matchmaker in Detroit,
to undertake their manufacture. This
was about the year 1885. Ia 1910 Mr..
Brown removed to New York, and there
introduced the business, which gradually
increased. At first the pens were cut
with scissors from thin, fat slip of
gold. Interior pens, thus made, sold
f - from S. 10 SIS each. At present the
manufacture of gold pens is divided into
branches, each workman doing his part
Machinery has been invented, and tools
are now used which. in 1885, had never
been heard of. New York produces
more gold pens than all the other cities
of the world combined All told, there
is over $500. 600 worth made annually.
The trade is rapidly growing, and every
year WITNESSES many thousand dollars
worth of pens in use that were not in
use the preceding year. Office

Observing = Persian Rite.

On Oct. 8 was celebrated at Valide
Khan, which was exclusively inhabited
by Persians, the anniversary of the
death of Hassan and Hussein, sons of
Ali. A large number of Europeans
and others who had been invited to the
ceremony and had secured reserved
seats. fiocked into the precincts of the
Valide Khan, which was soon full. At
o'clock the ceremony began by the
chanting of funeral hymns by num-
Der of Persian ulemas, who afterward
read the recital of the tragical death Of
the two martyrs Hassan and Hussein,
and pronounced a series of malediotions
on their murderer Yezid.
When these preliminaries were over,
procession of Nezirs was seen coming
round. They were bare-headed and
wore long white flowing robes which
reached to their feet; in their hands
they held khandjars, or yataghans.
They slowly marched up to the middle
of the court and then formed circle,
singing mournful ditties while they
struck their breasts with the fiat OF
their hands, or made cuts into their
heads with the swords they were hold
ing. The blood soon began to flow,
and it showed easily on the white gar,
