Grow CuiIIs Make the Best Pens.

A quill penmaker says that no pen
will do as fine writing as the crow
quill. II requires the assistance OF
microscope TO make proper pen out
of such quill, but when made it is
of wonderful deIicacy. The microscopic
writing told of in books of literary
curiosities was all done with crow
quill. The steel pens of the present
have very fine points, but somehow
finer point can be given to quill than
has ever been put on steel pen, and
for delicacy nothing can equal it.
