USE OF SLATE BY ANCIENTS.
Introduced Into Schools as Writing
Tables mt n Very EARLY Period

Introduced Into Schools as Writing |
Tables at a Very Early Period.
1t Is not easy to tell exactly for how |
long period states have been used by
school boys, but they were used as writ !
ing tablets as far back as the middle
ages, and probably, therefore, they were
introduced into the schools Of Europe
at very early period in the history
of education in this part of the world,
says the London Globe.
And, indeed, it would be hard to find
a more suitable substance for the pur-
pose than the easily faxed stone which
Yields smooth surface with mini
mum of trouble ON the part of the
workman. The ancients, as we know,
frequently employed waxen tablets for
the purpose of writing letters or max
ing calculations which were not In
tended to be permanent, and could cas-
lily be erased or smeared out Of all rec
ognition with the finger. Diligent
housekeepers and clandestine lovers
found these means of reckoning or COM
munication equally Indispensable;
while, for the man Of letters, whether
orator or lyric poet, the tablets on
which were jotted down the heads of
great speech or passionate stanza TO
some fair lady were almost as neces-
| sary as pockets (of which the ancient
world knew nothing) to the modern
man or boy.
Compared with these perishable aids
to memory, the slate was very long
lived. For though the name implies
brittle substance easily broken off when
the line of cleavage Is discovered-be-
ing equivalent to the French "eclat'-
yet slate does not collapse like wax
with the application of moderate heat,
and even IL cracked by a fall, might
still be used if its frame was stout
enough to stand the shock. 1t Is not
surprising, therefore, that the slate,
when once introduced into school and
domestic life, soon became popular.
But slate Is also a good roof cover
ing. and has been used for this purpose
for eight centuries, at least. Thing
which still holds its own to large
extent, partly on account of the mar
tistic appearance of the modern slate
roof, was practically universal in the
towns of the ancient world which came
under the influence Of Greece and
Rome. 1t is interesting to note In this
connection that as time went on build
ers reduced the thickness OF theil
states.
Whether this was due to reasons Of
economy-for heavy states need to have
solid timbers beneath them-or to 9th
er considerations the fact remains tina
the states used in the cheap house o
the present day have very cheap ap
lpearance. The difference Is clearl.
. seen by contrasting the fiimsy look o
: jerry-built suburban villa with tn
massive solidity of an old slate-roofe'
. farmhouse which has weathered tn
= storms of centuries.

DAY Is DYING.

Day is dying! Float, o song.
Gown tine westward river,
Requiem chanting to the Day
Day the mighty Giver.
Pierced by shafts of Time he bleeds,
Melted rubies sending
Through the river and the sky,
Earth and heaven bleeding;
All the longdrawn earthly banks
Up to cloudland lifting;
Slow between them drifts the swan,
'Twixt two heavens drifting.
Wings half open, like a flower
Inly deeper flushing,
Neck and breast as virgins pure
Virgin proudly blushing.
Day is dying! Float, o swan,
Down the ruby river;
Follow, song, in requiem
To the mighty Giver.
