about the trouble he had experienced in
securing pure white, flawless stone
when he saw sad look creep into the

and gladness
"What is it, my OWN" he whispered
in her left auricular appendage.

ALL ABOUT PENS.
An Interesting Account of Their Invention
and Evolution.

and Evolution.
Sharp pointed bodkins, made of bronze,
of steel or OF iron, were the first pens,
and they were used for cutting out let
tiers and hieroglyphics in the limestone,
sandstone or steatite of eastern countries.
Such pens were also used for writing on
Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made
of soft clay, and after receiving inscrip-
tons were dried in the sun or baked in
the fire.
In the far east and in Egypt the 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 fiat
tened. The fattened end was used to
erase errors made in writing.
The use of parchment and papyrus,
however, called for more flexible pen
than either the bodkin or the stylus, SO
reed pens were invented. For making
these pens a peculiar kind of reed was
used, which was shaped to a point and
split, similar to the pens now in use.
In A. D. 553 it was discovered that
quilts made much better pens than reeds.
The quilts 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.
ly 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 ano
gold. Itwas soon found that pens made
of horn and tortoise shell softened under
the action of the ink and were not sc
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 Wise's barrel
pens, but being poorly made and very
expensive they were not a success. Al
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 $36 at wholesale.
They were soon manufactured in great
numbers and have been getting better
and cheaper all the time, unta now we
can buy for trife 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.- Philadelphia Times.

the community, while travelling in Cali
fornia, became interested in the Kaweah
colony and studied its workings. Upon
his return to Michigan he succeeded in
inoculating the rest of the heirs to his
fathers estate with the communal idea,
and they agreed to establish cooper
alive community on the paternal farm,
which comprises AIS acres of the most
fertile land in Michigan.
A joint stock company was organized,
with the eight heirs as shareholders, the
real estate representing the capital stock.
At the start it was decided to limit the
mem bership to gil, and each member is
required to take 10 shares at valuation
of $40 each, no member being allowed to
purchase more. The organization was
effected in November. Since that time
so families have joined the colony, and
the population now numbers upward of
$50 persons. There are about 40 houses
already erected, built substantially
enough to serve all purposes at the start,
but they will be replaced by larger and
more expensive structures as the COM
munity grows.

There is no Man or Woman Who
Reads This Telegram Who Can

WASHINGTON, d. c. April 10,--The con-

by the revelation of certain fguers which

compared with other nations, America is
in fact a nation of starvelings. We pro-
duce the grain, the beef, the pork to feed
the world; but Americans, themselves,
appear thin, pale and often puny. Auth
critics are asking why this should be so,
and it has been declared that it is because
we are SO intense, SO active as nation.
A prominent man in an official capacity,
however, has declared that it is be cause
Americans do not secure the proper bene-
fit from the food they eat. He asserts
that 1.-The food that gets into the stomach
is not digested, but after taxing the body
to try to digest it, it fails to make any
blood, thus leaving the body in a worse
condition than before the food was taken.
A man or woman might as well starve
outright, az to take food into the stomach
and not have it digested."
1t is perhaps because of this revelation
that the new discovery known a 5 Paskola,
the flesh forming food, is attracting SO
much attention just now. well-known

The eminent man above quoted is only
