Ellacombe, of Eog- land. is writing a series of letters to rove that Shakespeare was an ardent sherman. He say that there is little doubt that the great tard enjoyed many a day's fishing in the Warwiok- shire and Gloucestershire streams. He also quotes many sayings from Shake: speare bearing upon angling. A Baptist clergyman and editor of the Religions Herald of Richmond, Va, says that of the 2.206.000 Baptists in the United States, 1,698,000 are in the South, of whom 740,000 are colored; that the latter have built many churches, some of which are costly affairs; and that there are seven hundred colored Baptists in the colleges of the South preparing for the Baptist ministry. In the last ten years the number of churches in Chicago has increased from 156 to 218. The following denomina- tions have made gains in the number of churches as indicated: Methodist, 17, Evangelical Lutheran, 17: Roman Catholic, Reformed Episcopal, Jewish snd Independent, 6 each, and Baptist, 1.

As long as people wrote on tables covered with wax they were obliged to mse a style or bodkin, made of bone, metal, or some other hard substance; but when they began to write with colored liquids they nsed = reed ; after which quills and feathers (plumes as is sometimes said) came into fashion, those finally giving way fo metals— steel, not only from its adaptability but from its cheapness, being the spe- edality for this purpose. The earliest pens, such as were used for writing on paprrus with a fluid, ap- pear to have been made of reeds. In our translation of the Old and New Tes taments (not the revised edition) the word pen refers to an iron stylus used on wax tablets, or a reed, quills not having been introduced earlier than the fifth centory. It is pot certain what particular kind of reed was usad for making pens, but it is described as a small, bazd, round cane, about the size of a large swan quill. The supply of these recds was obtained from Egypt, Cairo, Asia Minor and Armenia. Char- drin and Tonrnefort describe a kind of reed used for pens in Persia. These reeds are collected near the shores of the Per-isn Gall, whence they are sent to varions parts of the Esst. After being ent they are deposited for some months in stable manure, when they assame a mixed black and yellow color, acquire a fine polish und 8 considerable degree of hardness, and the pith dries up into a membrane which is easily removed. Reed pens are still in use, as they suit the Arabic character better than quill or metal pens. The Arab, in writing, places the paper upon his knee, or upon the palm of his left hand, or upon a dozen or miore picces of paper attached together at the corners and resembling a thin book, which he rests on his knee. The ink used Ly the Arab is very thick and ’ my. Although the quills nsed for pens were chiefly from the goose, those from the swan and crow were much esteemed; and besiles these, the ostrich, turkey and other birds o-casionally contributed to the supply. Most of the manufac- tured goose gills were from the Nether- Jands, Germany. Rassia and Poland. Before the general introduction of me- tallic pens, as many as 27,000,000 of quills had been received in Great Brit gin from St. Petersburg in a single year, Some idea of the number of geese required to keep up such a supply may be jadged from the fact that each ing produc:s about five good quills, may afford ten quills during a year. While quill pens were in vogue the occupation of a pen entter or maker was one of considerable importance; not one in five of those who used pens could make one, and scarcely half a century has elapsed since a certain house in Shoe lane, London, disposed of over six million quill pens per andum. It was also quite common at that time to ent the barrels of gnills into several peas. each being affixed to handles when used, as is now done with me- tallic pens. The first notice that we find of steel ise, ns” of that metal, mounted on bone andles, These pens were expensive and not very successful; they, however, served a good purpose, as the forerun- ner of a better article. — Paper World. Courtship at a Long Range. A comical matter has heen made pub- lic in Montreal by some legal proceed- jog: A retired major of the British army had four daughters who moved in good society in that city. They all en- tered into correspondence with a re tired elergymaa of London, whose mind wa: somewhat enfeebled, but who en- joyed an income of $15,000. The let- ters became sentimental all round, and at length the man proposed marriage. Ba* which of the four should he take? Ho had never seen any of them, and it was arranged that each of them should send a photograph to gnide him in his choice. Now, the oldest was a widow of forty-five, and therefcre the younger and prettier ones were astounded when the decision was promptly announced that their sister was to be the bride. Tho truth was that she had employed an artist to remove the hard lines and otherwise beautify the picture. But this trick did not help ker. When she went to London and presented herself to the clergyman he could eee no like- ‘ness tetween her and the fraudulent portrait, and refused to marry her.

Many Uses for Apples, However we may esteem other fruits the apple is the main reliance in inte winter or early spring, as there is little else in the way of fresh fruits, For cooking no fruit is equal to the apple, which is susceptible of being served in a great variety of acceptable forms, somo of which are here suggested. Apple sauce is the form in which the fruit most frequently appears. To make best apples. i 1sland pare Greening or and slice mn put, with the needed of sugar, In dish with fitting cover.

The apple pie is made with sliced raw apples, in a very deep plate, and as few plates are deep enough the sliced be heaped up in It is a mistake to spoil good apples with much seasoning.

The consumption of essences must have been enormousat the highest tide of Egyptian splendor, for the people were actually enjoined to perfume them- selves on Fridays; corpses were anointed with aromatic essences ; sher- bets and sweetmeats were flavored with fine vegetable extracts ; perfumes filled the air in every well-to-do house, and saturated the letters and presents which were constantly being exchanged. The ladies bathed in perfumed water, the men used scented oils for the hair, and both made use of red, yellow and green soap. Daring great festivals incense was barned in all the streets, so that even the poorest might be regaled by the mere act of breathing. Nor was there any lack of narcotics. The mode of preparing opium, introduced from Syoot, in Upper Egypt, was well known, and the Sultan Beybars pro- mulgated several edicts prohibiting the use of hasheesh, a stupefyiog and in- toxieating preparation of Indian hemp. In spite of the prophet’'s prohibition, the juice of the grape continued to be indulged in. Alcohol (as its uame in- | dicates) is an Arab discovery, and beer —the favorite beverage of the ancient Egyptians —was also brewed and drank under the caliphs. Many a jovial song in praise of wine was sung by Arb poets, and in early times many Arabs would by no means admit that the prophet had forbidden its nse. In an old MS, cupy of Tha’ alibi it is said: ** The prophet — may God bless him and accept him — per- mitted wine, and mercifully allows us to strengthen onrselves with it at our meals, and to lift the veil of our cares and sorrows.” A ———— Something About Teeth, | more readily than others?
