THE DAYS OF QUILL PENS.
An Accomplished schoolmaster's Won
 derful Effects in FlourIshes.


 The art of cutting q quill by adept quiIl-drivers" was dying when I first began schooling, says Notes and Quer- ies. Steel pens had been known for some time. but were not in general use. The goose quill pen died hard death as a commonly ly-used writing tool My first schoolmaster was first-rate hand at cutting a quill, and he could use it with wonderful effects in fiourishes. It was his boast that he could fill the first page of a lads school book with name. age. date and 1ourishes-in which were depicted wonderful swans and other birds-in such fashion that none but experts like himself could tell where the quill pen was taken from the paper for fresh dip. My last master could neither cut quill nor use one with ad- vantage. Quills as pens remained i'll use in some houses as the only writ ing tool up to a dozen or twenty years ago. Those who can cut a decent writing quill are now few. People used to ask for "a quill pen, or "a quill, when they wanted a pen, and both steel and quill were always called pens, buyers asking for fine or other "nibs' or 'nebs' Nowadays nearly all ask for .nibss when they require pens. The word pen has almost dropped outof usage, except to express the pen. and holder combined. Persons in yariably ask for box of 'nibs,9 ap- bearing to lose sight of the fact that nip or "neb' is point and that the points of pens alone are not to be had. One would think that in these days of much schooling teaeers would define pen from point or nib, but, they, too, ask fer 'nibss when they mean pens Children only know pen as holder and pen combined. They ask for "nibs' or pen nibs, and asked if they do not mean epens,e the reply is: No, nibs!9

A nlet of stones.

Croeodiles, like ostriehes. swallow pebbles and small stones. which serve the purpose of grinding their food The natives assert that it is possible to tell
 the age of a crocodile by the number of stones in its stomach, for they swal- low one each year. In point of fact. fifteen stones have been found in the stomach of a crocodile twelve feet long. whereas the average number fer youn- ger ones varies between four and eight. So says MT, yoltkow, who has been studying the matter for several years.

POLISHING PETRlFfED WOOD.
Tons of It Are Shipped from Arizona
 to a South Dakota Factorf.

The polishing works of this city is now engaged on the stupendous job of getting out $1,0o0.oQ0 worth of polished ehaleedony, or petrlaea wood. to be taken to the Paris exposition. This petritied wood is hauled from it's na- tive heath Tn Arizona, distance of sixty-tiye miles, to a railroad, and then shipped to this city to be cut and pol ished. It is shipped here in great logs and stumps, weighing many tons each. just as they have lain for many ages during the process required by nature to turn the wood into beautiful and yariegated coIors Of stone. The pro cess of saving the stone up in shape for polishing IS most tedious. the huge machinery Used for the purpose being able to saw only from an inch to three inches day into it. After being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape. from cuff buttons to tops for center tables and great columns which cost a small for tune.

Died Rather Than Lose n Hat.

Joseph Pribanicz, aged 36. of Hoef Iein, Austria, man who has always been considered to be in a normal state of mind, was travelling by train when his hat was blown off and carried out of the window. With scarcely a mo- ment's hesitation Herr Pribanicz opened the door of the carriage and jumped after it. He fell down the rail- way embankment and remained in- sensible for some time. When he came to his first thought was for the lost hat. He dragged himself, although se- Verely wounded, up the embankment again, and erept on to the rails to get the hat. At this moment an express train came round the curve, and be- fore the injured man could escape he was caught by the engine and dragged for a distance of some 50 yards. This foolish man died fearful death rather ahan lose a hat worth about 5s.

VI. A soclALIsTIc CITY.
Where the Municipal Ownership Ex-
 tends Even to the Cemetery.


 Huddersfeld, city of Yorkshire. England, is perhaps the best illustra- ton of a city governed on socialistic ideas to be found anywhere in the world Every municipal monopoly is operated for the benefit of the citizens gas, street cars, waterworks, electric lighting. markets, abattoirs, sanitari- ums, lodging houses and even the cemetery. As to gas, an exchange gives these particulars: Tn 1872 the gas works were taken over, the ob- jeet being to reduce the price of gas and increase its use by the poorer classes. To this end the department introduced penny-in-the-slot meters, which have been so well received that about one-ffth of the population is now supplied in this way. When the meter is used a stove is supplied and liked free of charge Not one penny need be invested, except for the thirty feet of gas sold for ? cents. This is a great boon ta the poor, who find it difficult to save enough to purchase fittings outright. Stoves alone maE De returned at 10 per cent of cost price per year. and the department has it's own stores containing styles to suit the poorest or the most fastidiOus. The price of gas has been steadily reduced until nov it is ? shillings 9 pence 666 eents) for lighting and shillings (49 eents) for heating and trade purposes. Inded, the city has been so constderate of public welfare in every way hat practically tae whole population com sumes municipal gas.
 Electricity is supplied in much the same way. and throughout the prinei pal of monopolization is carried into effect wherever practicable and possi. ble. As everybody seems to be satis- fled with the results obtained, Hud- dersfefld fay properly claim to be the model soeiallstfc town.
 Compulsory Education in rance.
 It is announced that M. Millerand, the minister of commerce in the French cabinet, is making many re- forms looking to the better education of French children and to the mini mixing of child labor Compulsory ed ucation of all children between the ages of 6 and 13 was decreed in France in 1882. but the census Of ten years later showed that there were still 72,000 children of school age in the re- public who were not going to school. At the same time the percentage of illiteracy is gradually decreasing. In 1892 nearly s per cent of the young men on the conseript list could neither read nor write In 1897 the number was decreased to less than per cent of the total

Storage Of Flood Water.

At the annual congress of the Sani- tary institute at Southampton Prof. Henry Robinson said the better con servation of the rainfall was of na- sional importance. since the water available for the requirements of the people did not increase with the popu- lation. Every year struggle arose for watersheds, whence the supply for Large towns could be obtained, while village populations had too often to depend upon shallow wells, which were liable to pollution. Flood waters should be stored, so as to render the flow of rivers more equable and the excess water which now caused dam age by floods would be available for domestic supply. irrigation, and i'm proving navigation ill rivers ana canals.

SHOULD COAL GIVE OUT.
Electrical Energy Will More Than Till
 It's Place.

AIS EiaGe.
 Are we utterly dependent upon coal, so that the wheels of industry will stop and the forests be consumed for fuel when coal gives out? Of course not. It is an idle fear. says Gunton's Maga- zine. Already we have the beginnings of new method of utilizing natural energy which will prove enormously more effective than coal eyer has been, and will be practically inexhaustible. to whatever extent industry may ex- pand. Electrical energy, developed by water power, will run the worlds in- dustrtes, furnish its light and heat and be the universal substitute for all forms of combustion methods. Water power is practically unlimited, and it W1ll=be utilized more and more in pro- portion as the need for it arises. and as it's use becomes, at different places and at successive periods. cheaper than coal. The substitution will proceed gradually, until. when the coal supply finally is exhausted, nobody will have anything more than a curious or acad- emic interest in the matter, and prob ably not a ripple will be produced iu tie steady onward flow or the worlds Industry. As tde Use of water power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable eompetf- y.on with coal, electrical students and inventors will doubtless bring out i'm proyements making it possible b store the power or conduct it long dis tanees at small cost. until our faeto- ries, railroads and ships can be oper- ated by it, our houses lighted aad warmed and food prepared. all at even less expense than is possible today with coal

ELEcTRoPLATtNG SHIPS.
Experiments with Copper on Tug
 Prove Successfui,

According to a report on the condition or the bottom of the tug Assistance of the navy department the heelectroplating of iron hulls with copper appears to be success. The Assistance was electro plated with copper to depth of one thirty-second of an inch before it was launched in 1895, and when it was talk en out of the water at the Norfolk navy yard few days ago it was found that practically no electrolysis had set in and that the bottom was about clear of barnacles and other marine growths. At no time since it was launched has the Assistance been doeked or cleaned. During the four years it received number of hard knocks and was on the rocks several times. It was found necessary to patch over certain weak spots as the result of these accidents, and it was only in the vicinity of these patches that any galvanic action was found Owing to Ito clean bottom, the speed of the Assistance has not di- unfinished. while all the other tugs in use in Chesapeake bay have been taken out for scraping about once month. Experience shows that three months of service in salt water reduces the speed of a vessel about 2S per cent, 50 the advantage of this copper electroplating is at once apparent The cost of the plating is about $3 a square foot. The saving in docking would be enormous, sas. the expense of docking a vessel is Between S3,000 and $4,000
