What a sad thing it is that our society

HISTORY OF ENGRAVING,
An Art Known to the Early Egyptian
and the Ancient AahraMa.

An Art Known to the Early Egyptians
and the Ancient hebrews.
Engraving was known to the early
Egyptians, who used wooden stamps
marked with hieroglyphics for the pur.
pose of marking their bricks. The art il
first mentioned b. c. 1491, by Moses
Exodus xviii, 81 who was COM
manded to take two onyx stones and
grave on them tie names of the Chill.
dren of Israel. The revival of the art
dates from the fifteenth century, when
the mezzotint mode of engraving was
invented by Colonel Won Seigen. En-.
craving in colors was invented by one
j. C. LIE Blond about 1928, in imitation
of pencil work by GILES des Marteau in
1856, and aquatint by LIE Prince about
have been practiced in Germany az
early as 1850. Some early engravings
by Albert Durer, dated 1873 and 1916,
are thought to have been made from
plates of steel. This metal, however,
was seldom employed by the first en-
gravers, owing to its hardness and the
consequent difficulties to be overcome
in working it. Only one specimen OF
authentic steel engraving, that by J. /.
Smith, was known to exist prior to 1918,
when Mr.. C. Warren exhibited speci.
men executed on soft steel before the
Society of Arts. The Smith steel en-.
craving. spoken of above, was made in
1905. The earliest wood-cut in exist
ence represents Saint Christopher with
the infant Saviour, and is dated 1923
Wooden blocks were engraved and used
as notaries' seals and for making play.
ing-cards in France as early as 144o.
Many ''block-books' of about 1430 grace
the shelves of various museums in
Europe, where they are valued almost
as highly as the Guttenburg and MAJ.
arine Bibles. It almost makes one
dizzy to think of the rapid advancement
of the art since the opening of the pres.
emit century, or even since the beginning
of the decade just ended.-St. Louis Re.

HEROES OF THE WIRE.

Plucky Operators.

Western Union Superintendent Tells Of
Plucky Operators.
Superintendent William B. Somer.
Vile, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, chatted pleasantly the other
day of some of the plucky deeds per-
formed by Telegraph operators whom
he had known.
II presume that heroes and heroines
are found in every walk of life," said
Mr.. Somerville, ''but certain it is that
some of our operators, male and female,
have performed some very plucky deeds.
l have heard of many brave acts, but I
know of none that has impressed me
more than the calm heroism of Mrs.
Ogle, who was the chief operator at
Johnstown at the time of the Cone.

daughter, sat at her instrument sending
news of the terrible disaster even when
the building in which she was At work
was rocking from the impetus of the
water that was rushing against it.
There was abundant opportunity for her
to have escaped, but she refused to do
it. She stayed at her post, and the
news of the coming food was wired
down the Conemaugh valley in time to
enable hundreds of families to escape
the approaching danger. She lost her
life, but her name should never be for.

"Of acts of bravery that have been
performed the records of the military
telegraph corps are full. There was
scarcely General in the war who did
not mention some action in official re-
ports. There were instances of bravery
in which our operators figured during
the yellow fever epidemics at the South
that were simply wonderful. And there
have been others. can certainly say
in all my long experience can not re-
call cowardly telegraph operator."-

hanging over the quarter TREMENDOUSLY,
George Washington flung himself fiat
on the ground and, as a sort of religious
incarnation, began to chant in a wild,
quivering tone the funeral hymn:
''Hark! from the Tombs Doleful Sound"
The Major tossed up and posted the
duelists, and with much solemnity
handed them the pistols, which both the
two young men received quietly. They
were pale, but perfectly steady. The
Major then asked them: 'Gentlemen,
are you ready?' whilst at the ominous
sound George Washington's voice in
tremulous falsetto struck in:
"Ye-ee-so-ons Of meenn co-ome viewew theee
groun',
Wher-ere you-ou m-uss shor-ort-ly ne.''
They announced themselves ready
just as George Washington, looking up
from the ground. where he, like the
''so-ons of menn," was lying, discovered
that he was not more than thirty yards
out of the line of aim and with a NUT
tered "Lo7dy" began to crawl away.
There was a confused murmur from
the direction of the path which led to
the house, and the Major shouted: Fire
-One-tw0-three.'
Both young men, facing each other,
and looking steadily in each others
eyes, with simultaneous action fired
their pistols in the air.
At the report series of shrieks rang
out from the shrubbery towards the
house, whilst George Washington gave a
wild yell and began to kick like q
wounded bull, believing that The was
killed-he was killed."
The Major had just walked up to the
duellists, and relieving them of their
weapons, had with q comprehensive

AN OBJECT LESSON.

A pretty dog, with soft, dark eyes,
And long soft hair, in color black
And tan and white, which, parted, lies
On either side down neck and back.
The children say he is dude,
Because his hair thus splits, and We
Smile at the apt similitude,
Which suits the doggie to q 2.
OF course, he Is . pet with all g"
At home, including wife and me.
He'll run to catch the children's ball.
And 1t would make you laugh to sec
The antics he would cut at play.
He'll give his paw your hand to shake.
And hide his foxy head away
Betwixt his paws, II you but take.
An earnest look into his eyes:
All! then how bushfully they fail
Your gaze; but, more than all prize
His waving. bushy, waggish tail.
Not Tor Its graceful, pretty curve.
Its waving hair, in black and white;
But for its wag, which observe
Is his expression for delight.
When home returning on the street
He sees me coming, wag and bark
NY eye and ear unfailipg greet,
His masters welcome always mark.
I can not do the smallest thing
For him, give cen q word, look,
Nor yet crust Of dry bread fling
To him, but that his wag is shook.
For thus he shows his gratitude.
And what o lesson does he teach
To animals OF nobler brood.
Who, unlike him, have gift of speech.
The dog, my friend, will wag his tail
To speak his thanks for what you do
To him, il kind, he'll never full
In this: my friend, how is't with you3
When morning comes. with rosy light,
To kiss your eyelids, as you lay
Refreshed by slumbers Of the night,
Have you no grateful thanks to say
TO Him whose mercy while you slept
Watched over you in tender love,
In health and strength your being kept
That you may forth to duty mover
And as the day goes happy by.
Each passing hour with mercy fraught,
Is there no upward glance OF eye
Nor in your heart one grateful thought
OF Him, the giver OF all good
That comes to man; whose loving hand
Provides alike for all their food,
And by whose power alone they stand1
The social joys that bless thy lot,
Thy powers Of mind and soul and heart
Are these good gifts, or are they not?
If yes, whose hand did them imparti
II to give thanks for these you fail,

But think awhile OF doggie's tail
And learn the lesson Of its wag.
