CALLED FOR MUCH ATTENTION
Users Of Quill Pens Had to Be En-.
doWed With a Great Deal Of
Patience.

We have complained OF our foun.
tain pens. but the constant mending
required by quill pens must have
proved severe trial In the days when
no others were available, says the
London Chronicle. Alexander I of
Russia thought it necessary to employ
man whose sole duty consisted in
cutting pens. He was required to
have supply Of not less than one
hundred quilts always ready.
This number was by no means ex.
cessive, for Alexander would never use
the same pen twice. Even the writ
Ing Of signature spoiled a pen, in
his opinion. for subsequent use. The
quill cutter, who received a salary Of
434O year, accompanied the car in
all his Journeys, including campatgns
against Napoleon.
Writing implements changed constd.
erably for the better during Sir Wal.
ter Gilbey's long spell Of life. Though
quill pens are still in use," he remarks
In his "Recollections Of Seventy
Years" II remember the time when
one seldom saw any other kind. Steel
pens In their early days were ex.
penstve and Ill made, and few people
used them. The paper we had 20
years ago may have been partly to
blame; It had neither the substance
nor the surface we take as a matter Of
course nowadays.
Il remember when envelopes came
into use, and what boon they were
considered after the old systems Of
closing letters with waters or wax.
Before envelopes were invented letters
were always written with an eye to
the position Of the wafer or seal. a
blank space being left to correspond
with the space where this would be
put on the outside, lest the written
portion should be torn in opening"
