CUTTING QUILL E N
It Was a Work of Skill That Everybody
Could Not Do.

The art of cutting a quill by adept
''quill-drivers'' was dying out when I
first began schooling. Steel pens had
been known for some time, but were
not in general use. The goose quill
pen died a hard death as a commonly
used writing tool. My first school
master was a first-rate hand at cutting
a quill, and he could use it with won
derful effects in flourishes. 1t was his
boast that he could fill the first page
of q lads school book with name, age,
date and fourishes-in which were de-
picted wonderful and other
birds-in such a fashion that none but
experts like himself could tell where
the quill pen was taken from the pa
per for a fresh dip. My last master
could neither cut a quill nor use one
with advantage. Quilts as pens re-
NAMED in use in some houses as the
only writing tool up to a dozen to
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 "nibs" when they
require pens. The word pen has
| almost dropped out of usage, except to
express the pen and holder combined.
Persons invariably ask for a box Of
"nibs," appearing to lose sight of the
fact that nib" or "neb" is a point,
and that the points Of pens alone are
not to be had. One would think that
in these days of much schooling teach
ers would define "pen" from point
or nib" but they, too, ask for "nibs"
when they mean "pens." Children only
know a pen as a holder and pen COM
bined. They ask for "nibs" or "pen
nibs," and when asked if they do not
NEAR 'pens" the reply is "No! nibs!"

Isaac Brock, a citizen of McLennan
county, Texas, has lived Ill years.
He now HYeS with his Son-in-LaW at
Valley Mills, Texas.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Nh. Brock says:
"Affer a man has lived In the
world as long as 1 have, he ought
to have found out a great many
things by experience.
seOne of the things / have found
out to my entire satisfaction Is the
proper remedy for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate.
"During my long life 1 have
known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, Cafarrh and diar-
rhea. / had always supposed
these affections to be different dis
eases, Eut in. rea6ing DIR. Hart
mans books have found out that
these affections are the same and
that they are properly called ca
farrh.
81 had several long SiegeS with
the grip. At first 1 did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for this
disease. When 1 heard that la
grippe was epidemic Catarrh, /
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found 1t to be just the thing.
Gas for DR.. Harfman'S remedy,
Pe-ru-na, / have found 1t to be the
best, If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and Iatfribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
Very truly yours, T

as the weather is concerned. There are
cold snaps when it reaches 40 and 48
below zero, but the lack of wind pre-
vents one realizing it and the noun
tains $50 miles west of us are a great
protection. Our neighbors are mostly
Canadian, Scotch, Swede, and we have
a nice %sprinkling of people from the
states. The creeks abound in small
fish.
We are now in the midst Of hay

to end our days. :
MRS. S. A. BRIGHAM. !
< General Miles has been interviewed
on the wal in South Africa. THE
struggle between the British ard the
Beers" he says, sis a very serious war.
There have been some severe losses,
and l believe there will be serious en-
counters before it is ended. AS to the
probable results, l, of course, cannot
predict. If the British are defeated,
is it likely to involve Europe in seri-
u complications? 1t might and it
might not" In the language of the
sapient Jack Bunsby, the significance
of this observation seems to lie in the
application on it.
A few centuries ago the bitterest foes
in the world, probably, were the Span
ish and the Dutch. Spain oppressed
the Netherlands with unparalleled
cruelties; the Dutch withstood the enc
my and finally conquered them with
unsurpassed heroism. Today the Span
iards are sending friendly congratula-
tions to the Dutch in South Africa on
their stubborn defense of their indie
pendence-the independence which the
Spaniards themselves in the days OF
Alva so furiously denied. The whirli-
gig of time has shown us few more
striking changes of attitude than this.
Spain once the great oppressor is now
a friend of liberty. England once the
Gibraltar of liberty is fighting that
which made her great.
