ROMAN BooK-MAKIN0.

etenographlc COntractlons UieI by the
ESport DJOk-writerJ Of Ancient Rome.
1t is stated that. Notwithstanding
the Romans had not print ing-presses,
books we're at that time produced much
more quickly and in larger numbers
than most modern works. Paper was
used which was almost woven out of
the fiber of the Egyptian papyrus, which
grows to height of ten feet, and which
has given its name to paper. A Roman
residing in Egypt assures us that the
yield of his paper manufactory would
b. sufficient to support any army. and
whole ship.loads of paper were sent
from Egypt to ROM. Before books of
any description were reproduced in
large numbers, they were read mostly
in private circles, or publicly, so that
the author could adopt suggestions for
the improvement of lis work. Wealthy
Romans used to own p large number
of slaves for all kinds IF service, which
rendered labor cheap, as they cost moth
ing in many cases, and had only to be
supported. They were mostly prison.
ers Of war, the pick of nations, AMI
often more cultivated Especially the
Grceks) than their masters. They were
consequently also employed in the edu-
cation of Roman boys. The works of
authors were dictated to number Of
slaves, women also being employed for
that purpose. Even among freemen and
liberated slaves the desire to obtain en-
ployment became so great that hundreds
OF willing hands could be had for writing
books at very low rate of wages. The
instruction impaired in tho workshops
of Roman publishers necessitated a
regular course of training, which was
to teach the apprentices an easy and
elegant handwriting. II publisher
had at his disposal say a hundred
writer's, AMI reckoning the working
day at ten hours, document which
took an hour to write would be multi
piled in the course of day to
thousand copies. The writers became
in time expert to such degree that
thcy combined quickness with elegance.
1t must also be added that in cases
where speed was the first consideration,
the use Of stenographic contractions ho-
came general, and We possess illustra-
tions of their employment in the old
manuscripts still in existence, We are
also informed that both readers and
eopyists were instructed and trained,
the former in the solution, tho latter in
the application, of contractions, Their
object was TO copy work as quickly as
possible, the use Of full words being
only rosorted to for the best works.
The above brief account demonstrates
to us the fact that the Romans made
the nearest approach to the invention
of printing, although they never at
tanned to it. The movable stamps Of
iron or other metals used by the Ro-
mans for markin d, earthenware vessels
and other utensils also prove this. But
the art of rapid writing, which was
perfected by them to an unusual de-
gree, counteracted further develop
ment, while the number of slaves and
other willing hands at disposal, by
which means the most astonishing re-
suits were obtained, operated in the
same direction. -SIeaographic Journal

A Georgia watermelon grower
claims that he can flavor a watermel-

the stem every morning before it
ripens and introducing a drop of fla

see the good to come of this practice.

The above is good but can easily
be improved upon, Take a darning
needle and yarn thread, insert the
needle in the vine near the melon,
pull it through the vine, leave the end
of the thread in the vine; on a saucer
containing moistened sugar, place
the loose end of the thread. Ca

DISCOVERIES AT ZoAN.


The Rare Archaeological Relics Recently
Found In Egypt.
Zoan was the seat of the Pharaoh Of
Joseph, the scene of the miracles of
Moses, being situate in that pastoral
district, which in the hieroglyphio rec
ords, as we'll as in the Hebrew Chron-
icles, bore the name Of "the field Of
Zoan", and which. under its classical
name Of Tanis, continued so late as
the times of the Ptolemies to play an
important part in the history of the
ancient world. twas the chief city of
the Delta during the most interesting
two or three thousand years of Egyp-
tian history; it owed much of its
splendor to Rameses H., who restored
and built here upon scale of extraor-
dinary magnificence-the King when
1.-THE Egyptians made the children of
Israel to serve with rigor."
At San are the remains of q city
once hardly inferior in grandeur to
Thebes itself, while about it, as the
capital of the Hyksos or Shepherd
Kings, as the Zoan of the Bible and
the Tanis of the Greeks, centers o sa-
cred interest and an historical value
peculiarly its own. Here, to illustrate
the gigantic masonry Of the place,
Mr., Petrle disclosed the broken por-
tons Of the greatest Of all colossi
known TO man-the Monolith of Ram
eses II.
Among the labors, discoveries or re-
suits at San, have been the successive
and exhaustive surveys of the great
temple. with mappings and photogra-
ply Of every object and mound in the
enclosure; the critical scrutiny of every
fallen block Of the great pylon Of
Sheshone ILL.,; trenching and shafting
in many parts of the mounds; proof
that the wall of Piesbkanu reaches en-
tirely around the temple, and that the
Ptolemaic stratum averages fifteen feet
above the palaces and villas of the He
brew period; granite sarcophagus
larger than the great one at Sakkarah
the unpublished half of the celebrated
tablet Of Tirhakah; an inscribed obe-
lisk, in part, of the XIIIth dynasty; a
curious Gr@co-Egyptian chapel, with
valuable relics; large stella of Ptolemy
Philadelphus and five smaller ones
royal statuettes and sphinxes, discovery
of the Great Metropolis and minor ne
cropolises, and the disclosure Of
private dwellings of the pre-PtolemaiC
and Roman times, containing many
objects of special archaeological and his
torical value to illustrate the domestic
life and the worship Of the periods rep

THE YOUTH DEPARTED.
Al Old Steamboat Ehglneor's Thrilling
Hear story.

Az utu hteamOoat EhBiheorb ThrltiihS
bear story.
Old Ephraim Pierce was, years ago,
one of tho best known steamboat en-
gineers in tho South. He was what tho
boys called a dry old follow, never
smiled in public and never laug he'd ex-
eept when he was alone. On one Oc-
casion, whilc his boat was lying at a
wharf In Cincinnati, gawky country
boy, carrying carpet bag, came down
to tho boat and told Pierce that he
wanted to "Iarn how ter be er ingi-
peer," The old man, kind.boarted and
sympathetic, had not tho courage to
tell the young fellow that he had better
seek othor employment, but with one
of his grim tales, sought to discourage
him.
"My dear boy" said he, 1--WE would
like the best in the world to have a
new man, but, to tell you the truth, our
runs are thickly beset with danger. We
run mostly on the Arkansas river, and
the Arkansas river is full OF bears.
They swim out and commit all sorts OF
depredations. Some time ago, while
we were running along, bear swan
out, caught hold of the bow Of the boat,
swung himself up and got on deck. He
did not stop, bat, buckcty, buckety,
buckety, he walked back toward the
boilers. ! got out Of the way, but my
partner was not so lucky. The beal
Aoized him. My partner was as good a
soul as ever lived, but the bear grabbed
him and jumped into the rHer. Yes,
sir, as good soul rs over lived, but
the bear didn't care ouss.
The young man took up his carpe
bag and climbed the hill.-ArkGnsa

Sympathetic Listening.

One Of the surest ways of showing
sympathy and of being attractive in
conversation, is by listening with Q
hearty interest to what is said by an.
other, Good listeners-not quiet and
dull listeners, but hearty and sympa-
thetio listeners-are far rarer and ia,
more winsome that good takers. "The
reason so few people are agreeable in
conversation" says the keen-witted
La Rochefoucald, sis that each is
thinking more Of what he is intending
to say than Of what others are saying;
and that we never [really] listen when
we are desirous to speak" Sympathetic
listening. is an outgrowth and proof Of
loving unselishness.-S. s. Times.
