STENCIL. LETTERS.
Used by Writers and iIuminators In
the Early Ages.

Used by Writer'S and lIIuminstors In
1 the Early Ages.
Movable characters were known to
the ancients. They were used In teach
ing children to read The ancients
had also stencil letters. which they
used to secure regular style of pen
manship. They even made use of
plates, thus open cut, containing an
entire page. 1t was placed on the
papyrus to guide the pens Of children,

ian. ito learn them not to exceed the

Justinian "a. D. SIS, could neither read

The same thing is reported Of King
Theodore and of Charlemagne.
In the middle ages the illuminators
and decorators made much OF such tab
lets for tracing involved initial letters
and even In a way composed entire
works, such as copies of the plain
songs. etc. A chartered abbey near
Mayence possessed some sixty of the
alphabets cut In leaves Of latoun,

were replaced by stamps whose i'm
print is proved by the evidences on
the reverse of the page as early as
the thirteenth century. In 1888 the
monks of Fribourg published treatise
relating to money in this way, and it
seems. according to passage in Pliny

always stitch a narrow piece of tape
down each edge of tile opening to hold
it firmly in place, and be sure, when
sewing on fastenings, be they hooks and
eyes or snap fastenrngs that they are
placed half an inch apart.
Never stint on hooks and eyes; few
minutes saved in sewing on fewer fast
eners will be lost many times over in
pinning together open spaces between
hooks.
1t is best to sew sleeves in bodice
before finishing them at the hand; also
to adjust skirt at the waistband,
stitching this in place before turning
up the hem.
In this way one is sure Of getting
the lengths correct and. in tie case of
the skirt, Of having it hang evenly
around the bottom.
10 insure an even hem, If the skirt
il cut long enough to tonch the floor,
mark it at the floor length with a bit
of taiors chalk all around, then turn
up the hem the desired number OF inches
from that point.
Another way to insure an even length
is to place yardstick on tie floor,
holding it close to the body and mark
ing the point where it touches the body
with chalk. This is done at intervals
of a few inches all around; then from
the chalk mark on the hips, the proper
length is measured and the hem turned
up. If skirts are made of thin soft
silk, face them for is inches from the
hem with thin quality of cotton fan
mel
This gives the body to the skirts

be desired. This method is especially
desirable when slight train is used
on an evening gown. French modistes
use fine broadcloth for facing silk, but
cotton flannel answers the same pur-
pose and is far less expensive. Christian

About the Piano.

A piano is almost as sensitive to heat
and cold as an invalid.
1t should not be placed too near Il
fire, as the heat draws the wood.
Neither should it be near an open
window, as ON wet day the damp is
apt to rust the keys and wires and
take the polish off the case.
Always keep the piano closed when it
is not i'll use The keys should be dust
ed frequently with an old silk Eandker-
chief and rubbed occasionally with a
cloth moistened with methylated spirits
II they get yellow rub with very
little lemon juice and whiting and re-
move it with damp cloth. But =
very careful that none Of the dust falls
between the keys.
If the case gets clouded and duh
looking, give it a GOOD polish with a
little furniture cream and polish with
a channels leather, In towns it is apt to
get smoky. To remove this wipe over
with cloth wrung out Of vinegar and
water, then polish.

whose legal custody had been grant
ed her by Judge Robert Clark, but
whose actual custody was denied by
the grandfather, J. Ross Clark, vice

A dramatic scene was enacted at

er appeared accompanied by two at

armed with a hastily drafted order by
Judge Finlayson giving her immediate
possession of the child.
Several times during the day Mrs
Tanner had gone to the Clark home
and demanded the child, in accordance
with the court order, and each time
was refused.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark and their attor-
neys contended that the court order
had given technical custody of the
child to Miss Margaret Hebron, the
nurse, and that as Miss Hebron had
become suddenly i'll and could not be
moved without endangering her life,
the child would have to remain there.

in which he had tied up the Lapland-

had deserted him, and scrambling
