The Welsh Note,

Here is what the Rev. John
Evans tells us in reference to the
way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth century:
"This school had several features
unknown in the Welsh school of to-
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. 1t was a
smooth piece of wood, like a fat
inch rule, with the letters wv. N
carved on it. When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was Immediately handed to
him, but the hand which held it at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to Jingle in consequence, SO
it was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign
of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested In that
which had to bear the burden OF al
the transgressions of that Law"

They Are Stamped In the Paper By
Patterns of Wird
The discovery of the watermark
was the result of an accident, prob
ably a thousand years ago. Parch-
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured ID a liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across diagonally. In those
days the watermark was regarded
as a blemish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep i'm.
preston made on the paper proved
q drawback in writing.
The quill of the scribe found
many a yawning gap to cross on
the surface Of the manuscript
"switchback scripture" it has been
termed. But when wire was sub
stituted for fiber in the sieve, says
writer in the Denver Republican,
the lines of the watermark grew
thinner and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the useful.
ness of the watermark became ap-
parent by degrees. 1t was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu-
scripts. Many a bogus copy Of q
rare work has been detected be-
cause the counterfeiter failed to
take into account tho watermarks

What Attracted the Attention OF On
Solemn Faced Man.

solemn faceo Man.
One of our southern statesmen
brought home the following from
his last trip:
The proprietor of a lanyard built
a stand on one Of the main streets
of aAEirginia town for the purpose
of selling leather and buying new
hides. -
When he had completed the build
ing, he considered for long time
what sort of sign to put up to at
tract attention to the new establish
ment. Finally a happy thought
struck him.
He bored an anger Aole through
the doorpost and stuck cults tail
into it with the tufted end outside.
After awhile he saw a solemn
faced man standing near the door
looking at the sign. The tanner
watched him a minute and then
stepped OUT and addressed him.
"Good morning, sir" he said.
"Morning" said the other, with
out taking his eyes off the sign.
"Want to buy leatherf" asked the
tanner.
"No"
"Got any hides to sell"
No."
