It is not a fairy tale that I am going to tall yon, though I do take yea far sway to the orient, to the land at tha Irjus Sower, the land of the pyramida, ! or tha obelisk* and the Nile, but a story true ia word and fact. It is the story of a key, before which vast treasure houses, impenetrable fow age*, opened their door*. Aad when the portals were thrown wide the searcher* gared agon vista* containing riche* of which their wildcat imagining* had never dreamed It is not a key of gold, though ita vain* is more than its weight in that precirms metal, nor ta It ahaped like a key at all. And the wealth it unlocked i* not mily for Ita finders, but for all that desire to partake of tt, for all pos terity, fra you and for me. I speak of the Rr»w tta straie, which ia now in the Brit ish museum. Many ft gar ago Ptolemy Epi phenes, king rif Egypt, paid the arrears of taxes ajid rrfher rlehfs of the priesthood of Egypt, and in thanks and to show their respect for hi* omarideration the priest- hood, at a synod held In Memphis, passed n decree eonimemoratlng it. The decree was ent Into stone, a* that was the mode nt prnaervtng a record of hiaturlcal event*. This happened about 19B years liefrrre the < 'hristtmi era. Vrm must knrrw that the Egyptians hod a different mode of writing from our*. They uaed hieroglyphics or picture writing, and this, after great research, has tieen discovered to be the written In terpretation of Sonnda. That a rec'rrd of Eptphenes’ deed might not be bat the Egyptian* had the deerse written In three different lan guages, the hieroglyphic, the demotic and the dreek This was done ag a pre caution, liecnnse, aa tha country had many dialects, a language one* in use was likely to die out In time.

It was the Rosetta atone, so called from the name of the place where It was fonad, but they did not dream how pre cious their discovery would prove. And It was not until about IB yeur* had passed that even ona word was translated. Dr. Young In 1MB made ant the wind Ptelemy, and he It was who discovered that the writing waa phonetic and not idengruphic, a* had bean supposed. But the key had not yet done its work, for, like Aladdin and his lamp, Hie talisman had nat yet been eogqnercd. Dr Yeung, conMnning his research, deciphered the word Berenice among tha pictorial writings of tha frescoes at Raraak. But tt Is to ffharapolton that most iff the credit ts due, for he contin ued tha research unremittingly, and finally his labors were crowned with vic tory.

The Caligraph is recognized everywhere as the most simple and most durable typewriter. It is easily learned, does beautiful work, and will last a decade, if properly cared for. In speed contests it has repeatedly taken first place and in telegraphic work has nevei been excelled. For manifold work it has no superior. With interehangable parts the Caligraph is well nigh indestructible.
