PAPER, PENS AND ISK.-Paper, as We learn
from the recon. discoveries, was in use in
Egypt as Ia lex as 23oo b. C., and not
merely. as old finy thought, from the time
of Alexander the Great. The ancents it APP
pears knew more about pens and inks than
they usually have credit for The Greeks
made silver and other metallic pens, and
Latin manuscripts show great variety OF
inks-red. purple. green, blue, silver and
gold. The great Florcffe Bible in the British
Museum shows the skill OF the penman in
the twelfth century in the use of this mode
of decoration and in somewhat later times it
was 10 unusual thing for scribes to anno;ate
their texts in colored ipl;s-red. green, violet,
and hlue-using each color for distinct class
of notes, historical. biographical, geographical,
etc. Scientific works are often made exceed
ingly attractive by colored diagrams, chron
ologics and architectural arcadcs and orna-
mental panels.-London Academy

two organizations-the Rives, of the

HUNTING A SMALLPOX BABY.

Officers of the Health Department were
out on a weird expedition last night,
searching for concealed smallpox cases
in the infected district in Sullivan street.
They didn't find any hidden patients, but
did discover that sick baby had been
smuggled out Of the district to other
quarters unknown.
IT is not pleasant for the general public
to know that baby with the smallpox
has been bundled about town, no one
knows whittier or by whit route How.
ever. the authorities promise to fiud the
child to-day and to zee that there are no
further chances OF mischief ; and there
doesn't seem to be any occasion as vet
for panic.
The work of the Health Board in such
cases OF contagious disease is always more
or less hindered by ignorant people who do
not understand the customs and methods
i'll vogue here, and who imagine TINT the
treatment accorded to tho sick and the
exposed is much like that bestowed on
criminals.

sCHOOLROOM TRAGEDIES.

Near Lima, O.. yesterday a bow was
killed in school while attempting to de.
fend his sister, the teacher, from three
btrapping youths who were so unchiyal-
rous as to forcibly resent the administra.
tion Of chastisement they we'll deserved.
A iewdays ago, in Kansas, male teao oher's
throat was cut by unruly boy pupils.
Also i'll Kansas. recently. a pedagocue
who had bad set in his school was
thrown down, roughly handled and re.
heved of revolver with which he had
deemed it wise to arm himself a little
while before.
These ore gloomy incidents of public
school life IN portions of tie West which
ought to be beyond q frontier state OF
development by this time. The old oil
OF birch is not sufficient to remedy any
part OF such troubles and of course, the
law has to be called in. II is, indeed, au
anomaly that bloodshed should accom-.
pany the work Of education i'll protessedly

Personally we know few they never appear
at the houses where we are asked to take tea
or lunch. We were at the studio OF the great
artist, Chase, to hear Paderewski play. Cen
tlemen were present, but, oh, so stirr and
quiet and cold they all looked.
"Paderewski' he is a grand player-the
only one ever heard who could draw pas
sionate tones from the soulless piano..
Then we talked about the opera company,
and here are some OF the astounding things
famous old ni2htingalcs:
"Scalchi admire intensely. Her voice is
glorious ] would rather hear her sing than
eat, but she does not like u.s." and the modest
Orfco dropped ncr eyes resignedly and
added with sadness In her voice, "and when
sing. she suffers.

ready and always great. No ono living can
approach her in Tannhauser' or Isolde

cert. Her execution Is absolutely perfect,

tive offers poured In. and after few months
rest, during which time the young singers
studied hard under eminent masters, they
signed very advantageous contract to per-
form at Berlin. In that city they were
artisticaly as well as socially distinctly sue
cesstul, ana their lines OF life were cast In
pleasant places, in spite Of incessant hard
work and severe study. From Berlin they
| went to Breslau, Dresden, Posen and other
cities, where they were Enthusiastically re-
cclved.
Two years ego Ricordi advised Giulia Ra-
vogli to study Orfco, a role she had never
thought OF before. she threw herself heart
and soul Into the part and worked at 1t until,
as she says herself, she forgot that she had
ever played anything else In her life, and
came to look upon herself as Orfeo himself
and no one else.
When satisfied that she had mastered the
opera, and feeling that she could faithfully
Interpret Gluck's beautiful music, shc ap-
peared at Milan as Orfeo, and II was there
that she made the name OF Giu.ia Ravogli
known to the whole OF the musical world.
She created a perfect furore In the part, not
only because bcr powerful and wonderfully
sweet voice happened exactly to suit the
music OF that opera, but also on account of
her magnificent acting. When she appeared
at Covent Garden, on tho occasion OF the Lon
don visit OF the Emperor and Empress OF Ger
many last June, az Orfeo the impression she
made was the same.
The house rose, and applause resounded
again and again az the splendid singer,
Guilia Ravogli, with anguish expressed In
every line OF her speaking, Intelligent coun-
voice, finished the last line OF the exquisitcly
pathetic Che faro
She did not know the English people, and
had always believed In what she had been
told, that they were cold nation. She had
reused an enthusiasm she had not dreamt OF,
hence her astonsEment and bewldcrmcnt.

and pleasure at the tremendous and unex-
pec;ed ovation she had received Gul!a l,a-
vogli came slowly forward, almost as one In
dream, with pale face and eyes heavy with
emotion. and stretching out her arms TO her
new friends, lifted up her stirring voice and
once more the enchanting air rang through
the Zig house.
The thunders OF applause which again
broke out as she walled rather than sang to
her sister Eurydce, "Hore is vanished, Joy
departed, life waste,' were too much for
the overwrought singer and actress, and she
burst into genuine tears, which rained down
her face as she bowed again and again to the
enthusiastic audience whose hearts she had
so wonderfully touched. MILL NELSON.

A Little Subtle Flattery.

To ne Editor
Make a man feel that he manages. Let him
have his way about little Things and a
woman is almost sure to have hers In big

subtle nattery goes a great way. Let him
feel that you value his opinion above that OF
other men tell him when he looks well, and
don't quarrel sometimes a mtn will be
cross: don't notice him at such times. Leave
the room, and he will be ashamed OF him.
SELF
Make yourself attractive to him, but also
let him feel tnat you attract other men. Have
friends among men, but show your husband
the preference over all.
Never let his respect for you lessen. Curb
CURIOSITY, avoid doubts-encourage him in
