More than a hun- tii‘t‘tl years ago some steel pens were made in Birmingham for Dr. Priestly, and some of these placed into the hands of Sir Josiah Mason in his early days with Mr. Harrison. but all seem to have been lost. The first pen of metal of a definite date. beyond all question, is one in a Dutch patent book of 1717. At about the same time a polite ode of Pope's refers to a “steel and golden pen.“ but these were evidently lux- uries only, and it was not until about the end of the first quarter of the last century that metallic pens became more generally in use. In the “Local Notes and Queries" in the Birming- ham Weekly Post definite evidence has been given of steel pens as early as 1806 and more commonly in 1817, it was about 1823 and 182-1 that the great revolution came by which pens were made by a cheaper process-the hand screw press which pierced the pens from steel rolled into tube fash- ion and the joint formed the slit, but these required considerable labor to Shape them into pen form. The use of the s-srew press belongs to the pe- riod of John Mitchell, Joseph Gillot and Josiah Mason. but on a careful review of the facts it seems to be clear that John Mitchell has the best claim to be considered as the origin“ introducer of press made pens. 1 Q kl-‘H'n ”3 .2;«‘. even '.

I once spent my vacation in the lit- tle village of Schocnwald, in the Black forest. One day the son of the pro- prietor of the inn at which I was stay- lng said that he was going out to catch some trout and asked me if I would accompany him. He was in his bare feet, his trousers rolled up, and he had a small, very much elongated keg slung by a strap over his shoul~ der instead of a creel. The keg had a square opening on the top side, and he said that he would show me how to catch trout without tackle. We went down to a small brook running through a meadow near the house. He partly filled the keg with water, then, wading a few yards up stream, stooped down and carefully felt under the long grass which hung over the bank. After awhile he lifted a nice brook trout out of the water and put it into the keg and then wading a little farther repeat- ed thc operation and took in all some twenty trout out of the brook. He told me that he caught the fish by feeling carefully around under the grass at the edge of the bank, and when he. felt one he tickled and strok- ed it until by it quick movement he could insert his thumb and forefinger into the fish’s gills and then lift it out of the water. I went with him and saw him catch fish in this way several times. --â€" A Trunllator’n Blunder. It I.

Honey In the Olden Days Wa- Thouxht to Prolong Lite. Honey has been known from the earliest times. The Scriptures make mention of it, and pagan writers cele- brated its virtues. It was called “the milk of the aged" and was thought to prolong life. Honey was also used in the embalming of the body after death. This food, as useful as it is delicious, was esteemed most highly by the Greeks, who celebrated its virtues alike in prose and verse, so that the fame of Attic honey has been trans mitted unimpaired to our own day. Used in all kinds of pastry, cake and ragouts, it was also esteemed as a sauce. Pythagoras in the latter part of his life was a vegetarian and lived wholly on bread and honey, a diet which he recommended to his disciples. And this gentle philosopher reached the ripe age of ninety years before he departed from life. I_Q_L ‘-__--‘ is derived was only discovered in later years. Virgil supposed that its de- licious sweetness fell from_heaven up- .‘VOVu-v w . on flowers in the shape of gentle, in- visible dew, a belief which he shared with Pliny and even Galen. It was left to modern observers to study with enthusiasm plant life and bee life and learn from them some of the most won- derful lessons of nature. uv--â€"- - Honey was often served by the an- cients at the beginning of a banquet in order that the uncloyed palate might enjoy to the full its exggisite flavor.

An English minister named Butler witnessed the following: In the town of Everdon ten harvesters had sought refuge under a hedge during a storm. Lightning struck and killed four, who were left as it petrified. One was found holding in his fingers the snufl which he was about to take. An- other had a little dead dog on his knees and had one hand on the animal‘s head. while holding in the other hand some, bread with which he had been feeding it.
