A wonder In Penmanship.

Among the curiosities preserved by
the Minnesota Historical society is a
Autographed copy of an enGrossment
of the emancipation proclamation. The
engrosser, one ". II. Pratt Of Daven-
port, Ia. was so very slsillful in his
manipulations of the pen that he sue
ceeded, by careful and exact shading
Of the letters, in producing q very eX-
cellent portrait Of Abraham Lincoln,
the author Of the famous document. in
the center of the copy. In other words
the lettering itself is made TO form q
portrait of Mr.. Lincoln. There were
probably q large number Of them orig
inally struck off, but copies of it are
now very rare. As specimen Of pen
work it is certainly very unique.

HARD TO GET STARTED.
Things which Overcome q Writer
When Beginning am Article.

Things Which Overcome Writer
When Beginning am Article.
There is feeling Of timidity that
aftentimes overcomes writer When
BEGINNING an article. AS in writing a
letter, It is getting started that puzzles.
Is is the custom TO begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow Of words is
free, and then the difficulty with some
Of us is to ind the brake valve. Again,
writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is more fitting ending, and
rice versa. The newspaper style is to
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines. while the sermon
izer reserves them until his final eli
max.
Thaekeray remarked once that he
could never tell exactly what he was
going to say until his pen was in hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what he was saying until it
was written. There is a eubconscious-
ness that shapes writing as it does
speaking. This, know, distulbs some
well known theories Of speaking and
writings to weighing everything and
then measuring it out as druggist
compounds a prescription-but my OBJ
servations ace that the preparation is
more in getting full Of u subject and
snen letting the mind work free under
the impulse OF the dominating idea.
There are as many ways and meth
ods in writing and speaking as there
are individuals, and yet the fundamen-
tai law in the transmission Of thought
and speech runs largely in the same
groove, whether it be the jargon Of the
Hottentot or the polished periods Of
the scholar. Human nature has its
own primitive impulses that defy all
rules Of rhetoric and the power Of ex-
pression-that is. the power, mind yon
lis deeper seated than any artificial
formula OF stylists. : National Maga-

cnrious oId Custom.

In one Of the suburbs Of Paris q
wealthy merchant died the other day,
and on the evening Of the funeral his
neighbors witnessed curious cere-
1nony.
An hour before the body was to be
taken to the cemetery the relatives Of
the dead man, five or six in number,
went out into the garden adjoining the
house and walked solemnly and silent
" around it. Each carried lantern
and kept his eyes fixed on the ground,
as though he were looking for some
thing. Finally they all halted in front
Of a large pile Of stones and, laying
aside their lanterns, proceeded to throw
down the pile. After every stone had
been removed they examined minutely
the spot on which the pile had rested
and then slowly and with bowed heads
returned to the house.
This is an old Norman custom. and it
is observed in this instance because the
dead man was native Of Olson. There
is. tradition in Normandy that before
burying a body all the ground around
his dwelling should be searched in or
der to make sure that the soul has not
hidden itself somewhere. At one time
every family in Normandy faithfully
observed this tradition, but now only a
few pay heed to if.

MAKING BoNELEsS HAMS.
Hor.sekeepers May Do It as Well as a
Professional Butcher.

-
Professional Butcher.
Little though one may think. the
process OF making a boneless ham is
quite a fine art and one that requires
no small degree of skill in the under
taking. In fact, it is not every one
who can 'bone" ham successfully.
In fhe event housekeeper unfamlllar
with the art of removing the bone
from hams were to undertake the JOB
she would be almost certain to begln
operations by first Of all splitting the
ham open and endeavoring to carve out
the bone by cutting around it. The re
suit would be failure and vexation OF
the worst sort, to say nothing OF ruin
ed ham. The proper way to remove
the bone would never suggest itself to
the average housekeeper.
The operator stands the ham on END
against a supporting block and pro-
ceeds to carve around the bone from
one end as deep as it is possible for
him to run his hand and knife down
into the flesh and around the bone.
Having reached the extreme limit (as
far. in fact, as it is possible to extend
the knife, he reverses the ham and
begins cutting around the bone from
the other end, cutting downward until
he reaches the point that he attained
in cutting from the end on which he
began, the entire operation being sci
enfifcally correct and on the principle
or skinning an animal. The bone then
slips out clear and smooth. free from
any adhering flesh.
AS soon as this is done stout twine is
wrapped around the ham and drawn
tnut, completely closing the aperture
left by the removal OF the bone. The
tNine is thus made fast and the ham
laid away for day or two. at the end
OF which time the hole has closed SO
neatly that, in slicing the ham, it is
difficult to determine the exact spot
from which the bone was removed
ghis is the proper mode Of making
homeless ham, and with a little prac-
tlce any housekeeper can learn to DO
the work as we'll as a professional
butcher. They wiz observe that first
Of all the bone is surrounded by q It's
sue, and by starting the operation from
the ends they will be surprised with
what facility this tissue, dividing the
bone from the flesh. peels loose from
the former.

r,.e Congressional Record.

TO appreciate the value Of The Con-
yressional Record one must see it used.
1t is the only means by which members
themselves keep Informed of the prog
ress of legislation when scores OF
measures are often considered in a
day. It is on the desk Of the president
OF the United States and is read By
every executive officer, from cabinet to
chief Of division. Every government

of such publication, forming at once
an indispensable current record and a
permanent history OF events even more

Mood In Ervntian stone,rork

Probably the Oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is that found in the ancient
temples of Egypt in connection with
the stonework, which is known to be
at least 1000 years old. This. the only
wood used in the construction of the
temples. is in the form of ties holding
the end Of one stone to another. When
two blocks were laid in place. an ex-
cavation about an inch deep was made
in each block, in which tie shaped
like an hourglass is driven. 1t is there
fore very difficult to force any stone
from its position.

Brass In England In chaueer's Time.
A metal resembling brass. but said
to have been superior in quality. was
known in England as "maslin" as early
as the time of Chaucer. and in the
reign Of Henry VIII. an act Of parlia-
ment was passed prohibiting the ez-
port of brass out of England. Whether
the earlier monumental brasses still to
be found in our churches were made
originally in England is not absolutely
certain. the probability, according to
some antiquaries. being that they were

How Indian Tribesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.

How Indian TribeSme0 succeed IN
Escaping the Police.
Some of the Indialltribes over which
we rule give US great deal Of trouble,
notably the Mahsuds. The Mahsuds,
however, are not by any means the
worst Of the Indian robber tribes, the
unenviable distinction probably falling
TO the Bhils, who are the cleverest
scoundrels in the world, both in their
methods Of acquiring other peoples
property and in evading pursuit
They are very proud Of their skill in
pilfering and openly boast of it. One
or them once told British officer that
he could steal the blanket from under
him and was promptly challenged to
show his ability. That night when the
officer was fast asleep the Bill robber
cut hole in his tent, crept noiselessly
in and gently tickled the hands and
feet OF the sleeping man. The officer
stirred uneasily and turned over. In
this way the Bill was able to pull the
blanket out little way. BY repeating
his performance he finally succeeded
in sscoaxing" the blanket completely
from under the sleeper.
When engaged in his nefarious little
games, the Bhl.. wears hardly any
clothing, and his Hshe body is rubbed
with oil to facilitate escape from any
would be captors. When hotly pursued
by the British troops, the robbers make
use OF very clever device. They con-
zeal their scant clothing under their
small round shields and scatter them
about to resemble stones or powders:

sorts OF grotesque attitudes, their al

evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight of the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by ciump OF

hot from their hard exertions. The Of
6cer in charge took off his hat and
placed it on the end Of broken limb,
when instantly there was wild scream
OF laughter, and the tree trunks sud-
denly came to life and vanished in the
slarkness.-London Express.
