On time it befell that Artemesia
living in st. Louis, found a slate pen
Gil thrust into her Christmas stocking,
and, being sadly vexed thereat, she
made due complaint unto her father,
who required of her the secret causes
of her sorrow.
"Oh, father, "qUoth she, "last nigh
hung my stocking behind the chin
ney-"
Hold my child" cried the father,
''let there be no mistake about this;
am | to understand that the stocking
was beside the chimney, or that the
chimney was beside the stoeking?"
THE stocking was beside the chin
ney, saith Artemesia angrily. Then,
10, when I go to it this morning find
therein a slate pencil"
Nov, tell me, child" asked the
father, "does it burst the stocking ?
"Nay, that it does not" replied the
maiden. with passing show of genu-
inc Lacedemonian choler.
'Then by the dog, do I greatly
marvel thereat quoth her father, "for
if you speak truly there is more in the
stocking than there ever has been be-
for"

The various modes OF writing that
have existed since the human race
began, are both unique and amusing.
The earliest method known was writ
ing on bricks, tables of stone, ivory,
the bark and leaves of trees. There
are several copies of the Bible ex-
tant written on palm leaves, hence
the name leaf, of q hook. referring to
a tree, was derived. The Babylo-
mans made their contracts of bust
ness on tiles or broken pots. The
treatise between the Romans, Spar
tans and the Jews were written on
brass. The speech of Claudius, en-
graved on a plate of bronze, is pre-
served in the Town Hall at Lyons. in
France. There are wooden manu-
scripts which must have existed
prior to 1923. In the shepherd state
people wrote with horns and avis,
then they invented an iron bodkin.
After that the stylus came into use,
made sharp at one end to write with
and blunt and broad at the other for
effacing and correcting.

less on the same plane, and consequently
a spirit of great harmony prevails. A
very small income is sufficient to supply
the ordinary necessities of life, and
everything else is secured with but little
effort. Household effects are few and
inexpensive and should everything be
destroyed by fire or loss in any way it is
not an irreparable calamity. All can be
replaced at q small outlay, and life go
on as before.
''The tenant, upon renting a house, is
put to little expense to furnish it; in
deed, he requires absolutely no furniture
at all. The clean, finely woven mats
which cover the floor serve as table,
chair and bed; and as it is the universal
custom to remove the shoes before enter
ing house there is no danger of one 8
bringing with him the dirt from the
streets.
His bedding consists of cotton quilts,
which are spread out on the floor at
night, rolled together in the morning +,
and stored away IN a closet during the
day. A few pictures and specimens of
beautiful script decorate the wall, few
vases contain sprays of flowers, and a
number of cushions on the floor COM
plete the furnishing of the room. Yet it
does not seem empty or cherries, for the
general arrangement of harmonious col
ors, the different words employed in its
visible construction, and the beauty of
the finished workmanship make q m ost
harmonious and pleasing combination.

LIFE IN JAPAN.

It Costs Very Little to Furnish House ana
Make It Cheerful.
In Japan, says the artist Wones in the
September Century, women have always
held higher position than in other
Asiatic countries. They go about freely
wherever they please, and the seelusion
of the Chinese is wholly unknown to
them. The schools receive as many girls
as boys, and as a result of my observq-
tons l can safely say, without idle COM
pliment. that the former are brighter
than the latter.
''By degrees, and under these favora-
bic conditions for general observation,
some Of the causes of the people IS happy
spirit of independence began to be re-
vealed to me. The simplicity of their
lives, IN which enters no selfish rivalry to
outdo. one another, accounts in a
large measure for this enviable
result. Regarding one another
very much as belonging to one
family, their mode of life is more or
