PENS OF THE PAST.
TH? Old Timo Quill and the Art of
Putting a Point on It.
l^ulll | h'Hh are no longer used except
in rare old fashioned instances. but
people still use "peuknlv??s" -you can
hcc the uatue any day In the cutlery
store windows ? hut they do not use
them to make or nieiul pens. In fact,
where Im there ?i man or woman who
knows how to put a point on a quill?
It wan miit' no it r i which every man
had to master, though wouvn were
Bcnerally bad at It. a? they arc now at
sharpening pencils
In the old days Hie first (piestton
risked of a schoolmaster was the one
whether he was skllW'ul In pointing
quills. tor he had to <-liar|>en tin* pens
of his v. 1 1 ? ? ! r? Hchool ami in -identally in
strni t his pupils In the art. Alas!
There Is no modern pen ?if -u>el or pold
that Is so smooth, so swilt. -o alluring
as a jjoud quill pen. The writer Is very
sure ol' that, for hl? father used fn tell
him so
The art of handwriting has certainly
declined since the quill pen went out of
use. The old fellows could really write.
\Ye sill! pr.y them an unconscious trib

Famous Dam*.
'l'he construction of the ^iKnntle stor
age wall, known as' the IturrlnjUck
dam, the most interest lng port of the
New South Wales Irrigation scheme,
was a clever piece of cnylnoorliijr
work. Indeed, it ranks as one of the
greatest dams in the world, both In re
gard to height and volume of water
Impounded. It is 2VQ feet high. 108
foot thick at the base, tai>ering to 18
feet at the top and some 7S<> feet ih
length. The famous <lam at Anglian.

150 feet, while the great Croton and

Thackeray's Appetite.
Thackeray, telling of a dinner he en !
joyed at Antwerp, said it consisted "of
green pen soup, boiled salmon; mussels,
crlmpled sk:ite. roast meat patties, inel
on, carp slewed with mushrooms and j
onions, toast turkey, caulitlower, til lot j
of venisrn. slewed calf's ear. roast i
veal, roast lamb, stewed cherries. (Iru j
yere cheese nrul about twent.v-four I
cakes of different kinds. Cxcept live.
Ihlrtee'i aud fourtoen I ate nli. with
three rolls of broad and a score of po
tatoos."
Those twenty potatoes remind the
reader of the dreadful disillusion of
Charlotte Bronte when she came to
London und sat opposite her literary
lion at dinner. "Oh, Mr. Thackeray!"
she cried In shocked surprise as she
watched him eat. She had never iin
agined a hero who ?te potatoes by the
score.
