She Saved Her Hat.

A rare piece of presence of mind
delighted the passengers on a surface
car one rainy night last week. 1t
was exhibited by girl in a lace
gown and the tiniest scrap of a hat
that ever called Paris home. No
girl could have owned that hat and
not loved it. That it had firm
hold on the wearers affections was
proved by the sequel.
The girl and her escort had evident.
ly been to the theatre. They were
umbrellaless and apparently on terms
of frank friendship. That a cal
had been suggested and declined was
learned from their merry talk. Fl.
nally the young man signaled the
conductor to stop and turned to his
charge. "We will make run fol
it. | am sorry for your hat" he
said.
"Wait a minute" she answered
She calmly removed the creation
of silver lace and pink roses from
her head, tucked it under her wrap
replaced it by her companions hat
picked up her gown and marched
serenely from the car, followed by
murmur of admiration and a sur
prised, bareheaded young man.

Ancient Pens and Ink.

The labor required in making the
manuscript books of ancient days
was far beyond the understanding
of the men of the present day who
possess all the modern adjuncts to
that art. As these books were in
tended to last for many years, answer
ing the same purpose as our printed
tones, the great desideratum in their
preparation was durability. AS a
natural consequence, those who
made them, not only selected the
best quality Of parchment, or other
material, to write upon, but also paid
particular attention to the quality
of the ink used in such work.
That they were successful in
making the latter is evidenced by
the fact that in the majority of
instances the characters inscribed on
the most ancient manuscript rolls
now preserved in the British Mu-
scum and elsewhere are very legible,
the ink being bright and black and
showing but little evidence of its
great age. 1t is supposed that the
superior quality of lampblack, pre-
pared in manner now unknown,
was the true cause of this lasting
color of the ink in question.
Ink of various hues was used by
the ancient Romans, that of a purple
tint being considered the exclusive
fluid for the execution of all royal
writings, as it was distinctively the
royal color. IL is said that Homer's
works were written in letters Of gold,
on a roll 100 feet in length, formed
of the intestines of serpents, but we
are left in ignorance as to the method
of preparing this ink.
The pens used by the eastern and
other nations were fashioned from
reeds, which were well suited to the
broad characters of the writing done
with them. Specimens ofthese pens
were found in the ruins of Pomreii,
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-03-30

which were cut like the quill pens
used by our forefathers, with the
exception that the nib was much
broader.
About the year 600 A. d. pens
made ofquills were reintroduced. This
is shown by the fact that the word
penna, quill, is not found, it is
claimed, in any work bearing an
earlier date. Previous to that time
the word calamus, signifying a reed,
was exclusively employed as desig-
nation for the vehicle used in trans
ferring the ink to the parchment or
other surface selected by the writer's
Of that early age. Steel pens first
came into use in 1903 and about
twenty-five years later those COM
posed of gold made their appear

A Meek Clergyman.

A teacher sometimes commits the
very blunder he warns his students
against, even while he is warning
them. A case in point is that of a
teacher who said to his class in gram
mer, "boys never use a proposition
TO close a sentence with" Bob
Burdette's clergyman is another
illustration of the same kind.
1T was one hot summer after
noon," says Burdette, when the
air was full of sunshine and sing
ing birds and buzzing insects. Our
dear old clergyman-I can see him
now-telling us boys how we should
never get excited.
Boys he said, you should
always be patient-you never should
lose your temper--never let your
angry passions rise. You should
never swear, or get angry or excited.
Inever do. Now, to illustrate, boys,
pointing upward, you see that fly
on my nose. A good many wicked,
worldly men would get angry at
that fly, but l don't
"'What do | do?'
Why, my children, | simply
say, go away, fly, 60 away, and
Gosh blast it, It's wasp.

Disloyal Whistling.

Am ericans have little conception
of what constitutes a reasonable
offense in some countries which are
still despotic and extremely military.
There recently occurred at Barr, in
Alsace, trial which must have been
very amusing to an American who
witnessed it.
One day, not long ago, in the
streets of Barr, a laborer who was
engaged in loading a wagon, whistl-
ed cheerfully at his work. AS he
was thus engaged, a gendarme,
or military policeman, came within
hearing. The workman, apparently
preoccupied, kept on with his whistl-
ing.
arrest your said the police
man, coming up, and putting his
hand OH the mans shoulder.
"What for?" asked the man,
astonished.
"For seditious whistling. You
have been whistling the 'Marseill-
aise.
The "Marseillaise," being the
French national air, and a revolu-
tionary air besides, is forbidden in
German Alsace.
But the workman exclaimed:
"Oh, no, you are mistaken. 1t
isn't the 'Marseillaise' at all that
am whistling, but the march of the
Brunswick Hussars, | used to belong
to the Brunswick Hussars, and that
was the reglmental tune"
The policeman, who was French
man, and thought he knew one
tune from another, took the work.
man under arrest; and in due time
he was brought into Court charged
with disloyalty in whistling a Sc
ditious air in public place.
Both the officer and the accused
told their stories very confidently,
and as the workman was reputed an
honest and loyal man, the Court
was very much perplexed between
the two men and the two tunes.
In this predicament the Court
adjourned to the council-room adj
joining, and, calling the accused and
the accuser in turn, made the work
man whistle the tune March of
the Brunswick Hussars" and the
policeman the "Marseillaise," Each
did his best, but the tunes proved,
in the ear of the Court, to be so
much unlike that it was regarded as
improbable that the policeman could
have been mistaken.
The accused was therefore sent
to prison.

Papered Her Room with Envelopes

"Our house is all topsy turvy.
The paper hangers are working in
every room but one" said a Prospect
avenue girl.
"And why one exception?" asked
the young man whose feet were dang
ling from the veranda rail and who
assumes to ask questions on all sub
jects. "Whydon't you make clean
sweep of it and paper the whole
house?"
"Papered the other room myself"
"You did," cried four voices at
once"
"Yes, and every one of you furn-
ished part of the material. Come
along and I'll show YOU"
There was the room, and surely it
was oddly decorated. The four
walls were papered with envelopes
addressed in all manner of hands,
and with postmarks from New York
to San Francisco. For two years
this maiden, so original, saved all
the envelopes which brought her
letters, and when she had enough
she took pot of paste and covered
her wall.
Ths letters were pasted OH in the
order of their coming and made
quite serial story. They are of
all shades and sizes and of several
tints, and one can easily trace the
regular mail from her constant cor
respondents, while here and there is
one which has some special signif-
cance. One in black border is
from a dear college chum whose
mother had just died, and not far
away is one which brought the It'd
ings of happy marriage of another
chum in distant Italy. The owner

Whole Wheat Bread.

|
of nutrition necessary for child,
so wheat bread and its congeners,
oats, rye, ETC., may be considered
the representatives of all human
food, as these cereals contains all
the elements for the nutrition of
the body in every stage of life, and
under all circumstances of climate,
occupation, etc. But this is true
only of the entire grain, and not of
the fine white -four after the grain
has been ground and carried through
the bolting cloth. In this process
the grain is well nigh deprived of
all it's nutritive properties, and its
value as food sacrificed to the whim
of having white bread instead of a
wholesome, nutritious food. The
whole grain does not necessarily
include the husk or bran; and in
some cases this may be objection
able--not on account of it's color,
but because of its roughness. Still,
the wheat meal containing the bran,
in the form of Graham -four, is use
full in some cases of constipation,
and especially when the food has
consisted principally of concentrated
articles, such as fine -four biscuits,
light bread, cakes, etc. So far as
color is concerned, it is strange
perversion of taste to prefer the
dull white color of bolted -four, to
the beautiful golden or bronze color
of whole wheat -four, if the product
of good sound wheat. This color
may vary somewhat, according to
the kind of wheat, but any sound
wheat meal, whether from the white
or red variety, is more attrative in
appearance to an unperverted eye,
than the white or bolted flour. Let
it be remembered, always, that the
color is due to the nutritive proper
ties of the grain, and that just so
far as it is deprived of this color, to
that extent its value as food is
diminished. In this coloring matter
is contained the phosphates which
are essential to the growth and nu-
triton of the body in general, and
to the bony and nervous system in
particular. And yet, in the face of
these incontrovertible facts, people
persist in using fine bolted flour;
instead of appropriating the food
prepared for them by nature in the
most attractive and palatable form,
they 60 to the doctors, or drug stores,
and are dosed with expensive, and
often useless compounds in the way
of vitalized phosphates, hypophos-
phites, malt preparations, etc.
Mothers who pursue such a suicidal
course, not only destroy their own
health, but also inflict irreparable
injury on their offspring by depriv-
ing them of the natural food pro-
vided for building up their bones,
muscles, brain and nerves. While
such mode of living is persisted in,
the disastrous effects can never be
counteracted by all the doctors and
drug stores in the world.
Finally, let it not be forgotten
that whole wheat bread is about four
times more nourishing than any
kind of meat,
