PENMANsHIP A FINE ART.
Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field.

There is a renaissance in penman-
ship. despite the speedy comforts OF
the typewriters. Ten years sgo It prot
ably would not have occurred TO any
one to show a page of manuscript at
any exhibition; to-day pages or books
of script form feature Of every show
which takes to itself the name Of arts
and crafts. Some of the work is in
Roman capitals, but the form Of letter
usually adopted is the unciel, or half
unciel. Apparently all the writers
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted good
deal OF attention. but 1t has become
quite the rage, so that in some circles
1t creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur Is taking les
sons in script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work. From
one viewpoint it is difficult to say
begins. but though in the recent re.
vival the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum-
inator are not necessarily one and the
same person. Some OF the illumina-
tons show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration. so delicate in color.
ing and so refined in treatment that
1t challenges comparison with the best
of old work.

oLD-TlME ~PLUG" TOBACCO.
Made by Pounding Leaf and Honey
Int an Anger Hole.

In the jury room at the courthouse
a few days ago q farmer said to a
Kansas City Star man, as he took a
chew OF tobacco:
"All the difference in the world in
tobacco. I've tried some 20 different
kinds and none is as good as that we
used to make ourselves down on the
farm. We would take maple log
while twas green and bore a dozen
holes in 1t with a two-inch auger.
They were our molds. We selected
our choicest tobacco and soaked II for
a week or more In wild honey. Then
we'd take the leaf to the log, get q
good hickory 'tamping stick and go to
work.
"a little ball OF the honey soaked to-
bacco would be put in an anger hole
and tampcd In with the stick and a
hammer. We'd pound II in solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed in and
pounded until the whole became a
solid plug. When the hole was nearly
full we would pound In a plug and then
the log would be put away to season.
AS the wood dried the moisture would
be drawn from the tobacco. And when
1t was split the sweetest tobacco ever
made was taken from II. We called Il
plug tobacco and that's where tbs
name originated"
