The Golden Ink or Classic Greece. de-
scribesi.
From the Boston Transcript.
According to the Roman naturalist,
pliny. and other authors. the basis of the
ink used 10y ancient writer's was formed
of lanipblack. or the black taken from
burnt ivory and SCOT from furnaces and
baths. Some have also supposed that the
black liquor which the cuttle-fish yields
was frequently employed. One thing il
certain, that whatever were the cornpon-
cnt ingredients, from the blackness and
~solitity i'm the. most ancient manuscripts.
from Am inkstand found at Herculaneum,
i'm which the ink appears as thick as oil,
and from chemical analysis, the ink at
antiquity was much more Opaque as well
as encaustic, than that which il used in
modern times. Inks of different colors
were much in vogue. Red, purple. blue
pal varieties. The red was mads. from
vcrmillion. cinnahar and caru,ine; the
purple from the rniirs.x. ON, kind of which,
called tls. purple Ciictii~tic, was apIsropri-
atct tn the exclusive lss. ot the cInIs.rors.
Golden ink was much mors. popula
among the Greeks than among the Rom
ans. During the middle or dark ages the
manufacture both of il and of silver ink
was AN extensive and lucrative branch of
trade. and the Illuminated manuscripts
which remain arr. ~ striking proof OF the
high degree of perfection tai which tl,e art
was carried. Tho making of the inks
themselves was n distinct business. and
another connected with IL and to which Il
owed its origin WAS that of inscrihing the
titles. capitals, as well AS emphatic word,
in rolorcd and gold and silver inks.

As she reached the saving gravel she saw a strangely familiar figure dashing madly up the canon. It was only feeting glauca, for she was too ter rified for reason, and flung herself head long into the little stream. The water gurgled and splashed and wet her to the skin. Her hat was lost and her dress was in tatters.

thought that the day had become surpris- ingly hot. She drew little farther into her impromptu bower and resumed her castle building. By and by clumsy jack rabbit, with his ridiculous ears dropping forward, numbered across the path. A timid little cotton-tail followed swiftly, with strange disregard of her presence. The air grew hotter and hotter. The mocking bird hushed his song and flew away. Q1eer little lizards, with their halting haste, darted into the bushes. More rabbits, with long jumps, passed by and disappeared over the mountain. She wondered idly at this strange procession of beast and reptile, but scrambled hastily up as horrid toad, with bristling back and unnecessary tail, nearly ran across her feet as she rose, the burrO with loud snort and mighty wrench snapped the rope with> which he was staked, and ran madly up the trail She heard loud cracking noise, and clouds of smoke stlfied her. What could it mean? Bewildered, she looked down the mountain side. An, God! She knew then. The mountain was on fire. Tongues of flame fiarted from shrub to shrub and licked up the grass, dried to finder by the semi-tropical sur , through the rainless months of summer. With roar like the tempest, it swept up the mountain. The dried branches of dead trees, killed by former fires, caught the blaze, and stood like sentinels of fire in it's wake.
 Although she knew that certain and aw- full death was coming, terror held GArcla helpless, and she was again becoming un- conscious, when she was aroused by the voice of Jose shrieking wildly:
 "Fly, Ssnorita, fly! For the love of the Virgin, fyw She could not move, with fear as "lead upon the feet of her most anxious will" The hot breath of death was scorching her cheek, when she felt herself clutched by the arm, and dragged uncere moniously over rock and. bushes to the oth CT side of the bend.

BILL NYE,s APPREHENSION.

Bill Nye was featuring in Pennsylvania short time ago with James Whitcomb Riley. At one of his appointments MT. Nye, so 1t IS said, felt very much depress- ed. It is peculiarity of humorists to be melancholy at times, aud he was in this mood at the time. One of the commit ee went back of the scenes to see him, and the depressed humorist welcomed him as a scene of unusual sunshine. They shook hands-Nye earnestly. The committee man decorously.
 "Mr. Nye," he said gravely, "yod will find this an unusually healthy city"
 ''Ah v said the humorist.
 "Yes, the death rate is only one day"
 At this iuncture Nye took the commit teeman by the arm and hurriediy asked "Is he dead ?''
 ''Dead!" ejaculated the committeeman. "Who dead ?''
 "Why, the man for today" vas the grave reply. The committeeman stared with all his might into the immovabe face of the lecturer.
 "Isn't there clerk or register or cor i oner, or something like that, of whom you could find out whether man for tod y has died?''
 Why, yes; suppose so," slowly re- | piled the committeeman.
 "Would you b, so good, then, as to find out, and before commence the lecture if possible, whether the man is dead? If he IS dead, am all right, for we are to leave the city early tomorrow morning; but if he is not dead, cannot but feel uneasy about myself, as am not well tonight"
 The kind hearted committeeman hurried away to get the information.
 When Nye and Riley were in their room that night bellboy told Nye that gen. I tleman wished to see him. He went down into the parlor of the hotel and there met the committeeman.
 Il am sorry to disturb you, MT. Nye, he said, "bnt could not get the informa. tion any earlier. It is all right. That death rate spoke of was only an average and man died this morning. -NeaO Yorl World.

LAME EXPLANATIONS stranger, sup posed to be man who is wanted for murder in Tucson, was discovered hiding under the bridge the other day and taken to jail to be held until identified. That night he dug his way out, and next day the sheriff was around trying to get $1OO bill changed. He says he found the bill on the street, but that story looks fishy. There isn't a man in this town that wouldn't yell lung out if he had lost that much money. The prisoner used crow bar to dig out with, and the sheriff says he must have had it concealed in his pistol pocket. The official owes us $15, and if we can get our hands on the money this week, we shall, in our next issue, advise the public to run him out of town as dis honest scoundrel. Kicker.

Congressman Hillary Herbert, of Ala. bama, tells a pretty good story on him. self. It's an election day yarn, so that it's a little late, but it may go. He was in Montgomery on the day of cleo ion, when an old darkey who had known him f, ] years came along and asked for the loan oi dollar, adding, in order to inspire conf dencr, that he would vote for him.
 "Get ou'," replied Herbert. "Youl never vote for me. You've beeu a repub. lican all your life"
 An hour afterward the old darkey re- turned. "Now gimme dat dollar, said he. "I want it bad, and deed I'll vote for you Marse Hillary"
 Mir. Herbert chased him away, and so il went on several times. Each time MT Herbert's would be constituent became more anxious. About 3 o'clock in the af. ternoon Mir. Herbert saw his colored friend sidle up to the polls very cautiously and drop into the box a large, open, unadul terated, straight republican ticket. By and by the old fellow traced Herbert again unconscious that Herbert had seen his vote
 "'Deed, Marse Hillary, I want dat dol lar. I'm gone right straight up and draE my vote for you, sho'."
 "Why, you miserable old humbug, thundered Herbert, ''didn't just see you vote the republican ticket? ?"
 The ancient voter was staggered just one little second. Then, with long, deep sigh, he grinned and said: "Dat's all right, Marse Hillary, but they'll count ii for you juss the same anyhow. Now gimme dat dollar" He got the ar-Balti. more Anaericdn.
