their prisoners in convict suits and the
results are satisfactory. Aroostook and
Knox counties have provided places for
tramps to break stone, which has resulted
in decrease of commitments in those
counties. Officers iD other counties have
been advised to adopt similar methods
and arrangements are being made with
this end in view. During the year ending
Nov. 80, 6l76 commitments of all crimes
have been made, 1853 being females and
993 were trampsy 1O7 poor debtors, 2SOs

Der imprisoned for drunkenness were
tramps Large expense has been incurred
in arresting and committing tramps
in some counties and Legislative action
should be provided to make more severe
penalty upon them. The jail inspectors
advocate that the law should be changed
so that when one Jail becomes overcrowded
the prisoners may be removed to another
without being sent to the work jails, as
the law now provides, if the inspectors
think best. In one Jail having 10 cells,
103 prisoners were confined during the
past year. The three work jails are
generally filled, and by allowing the in
spectors to make the transfers as they
wish, the counties expenses will be les
sened.
The annual report of the Jail inspectors
on the State prison was one of the reports
made to the Governor and Council, and in
brief was as follows:

and Evolution.
Sharp pointed bodkins, made of bronze
of steel or of iron, were the first pens,
and they were used for cutting out LETT
ters and hieroglyphics in the limestone,
sandstone or steatite Of eastern countries.
Such pens wcro also used for writing on
Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made
Of soft clay and after receiving inscrip-
tions were dried in the sun or baked ia
tho fire.
In the far east and in Sgypr Sne cam,
els hair pencil soon took the place of the
metal bodkin. With the pencil letters
were painted ON the skins Of animals
and the bark of trees, in much the same
manner that the Chinese draw them on
paper at the present day.
In Persia Greece and Syria wax and
leaden tablets came into use, and the
stylus became the popular pen. The
stylus was made Of bone, ivory or metal.
with one end pointed and the other fat.
tened. The fsttened end was used to
erase errors made in writing.
The use of parchment and papyrus,
however, called for a more flexible pen
than either the bodlkin or the stylus, SO
reed pens were invented. For making
these pens a peculiar kind of reed was
used, which wss shaped to point and
split, similar to tho pens now In usa.
In A. D. 553 it was discovered that
ouills made much better pens than reeds.
The quills of the goose, the swan and the
crow were used principally. Several
centuries later, when writing paper was
introduced into England, the quill pen
was still the favorite writing instrument.
However, the quill pens had Been great
lv improved, and those from Russia and
Holland were excellent
In the early part of the present century
there was demand for something better
and more durable than quill pens. Ac=
cordingly great many experiments
were made with horn, glass, tortoise
shell and finally with steel, silver and
gold. Itwas soon found that pens made
of horn and tortoise shell softened under
the action of the ink and were not so
good as quill pens. Nor were the silver
pens very good They were too elastic
and too easily worn at the points.
In 1903 steel was tried in Wisc's barrel
pens, but being poorly made and very
expensive they were not a success. At
Birmingham, England, in 1920 the man
ufacture of steel pens began in earnest,
and they proved to be excellent. The
first gross of steel pens sold in Birming-
ham brought $96 at Wholesale
They were soon manufactured in great
numbers and have been getting better
and cheaper all the time, until now we
can buy for a trifie the best steel pen
made. Europe has always excelled in
the manufacture of steel pens, and Amer
lea is noted for the manufacture of gold
pens. ns.-Philadelphia Times.

stale Bread.

1t is generally supposed that the stale
ness of bread arises from its becoming
actually drier by the gradual loss Of wa
ter, but this is not tho case. Stale bread
contains almost exactly the same pro-
portion of water as new bread after it
has become completely cold. The change
is merely in the internal arrangements
of fine molecules Of the bread. A proof
Of this is that If we put stale loaf into
a closely covered tin, expose it for half
an hour or an hour to heat not exceed
inc that OF boiling water and then al
lowing it to cool, it will be restored in
appearance and properties to the state OF
the new bread. Brooklyn Eagle.
