    INK THAT NEVER DRIES.
Care Used In Handling Fine Etching!
■nd Engraving#.
"Ouo of the first things we have to
Impress upon newcomers In this busi
ness," remarked a dealer In fine prints,
"Is to take the utmost care In handling
prints for the simple reason that the
Ink used In printing engravings and
etchings practically never dries. Of
all the men whose works In thin line
we handle It can be safely said that
on the prints of only two of them—
Bembrandt and Durer—has the Ink
really dried. And you know It Is o
long time since they were alive. II
has been our frequent experience to
have prints fully 200 years old show
signs that the Ink still had some mois
ture in It, us we hove learned to our
cost in seeing them rubbed.
"An expert, whether he be a profes
sional or amateur collector, can tell at
a glance that a print has had another
ocrt pulled across It, for to his accus
tomed eyes the telltale marks of the
tnk having been drawn across a blank
place on the paper are as clear as day
light That Is why we keep all of our
prints In t<oxes that Just flt them so
that they must be lifted out squarely
with no chance of their being dragged
across the one below. It seems like a
trifle. But It Is just such trifles that
make or mar the sale of a really fino
print worth thousands of dollars."-

A CORDIAL NATURE.
If It Is Not Yours, Do Your Best to
Acquire It.
The cultivation of cordiality and pop
ularity early in life will have a great
deal to do with one's advancement,
comfort and happiness.
It is a mortifying tiling to have a
kindly feeling In tho depths of one's
heart and yet not be able to express It,
to repel people when one has just tho
opposite feeling toward them. To be
Incased In on Icy exterior with n really
warm heart Is a most unfortunate
thing.
Some people have a repelling expres
sion lu their faces and manner which
is a constant embarrassment to them,
but they do not seem able to overcome
It. This is largely due to a lack of
early training or to the fact that some
times these people have been reared
In the country, away from the great
centers of civilization, where they do
not have the advantages of social In
tercourse, and in consequence becomt
cold and appear unsympathetic whei.
they are really the opposite.
It is a very difficult thing to over
come these handicaps, but the cultiva
tion of good will, of a helpful spirit and
kindly feeling toward everybody will
go far to open up the hard exterior so
that the soul can express itself.—Sue- j
cess Magazine.
ST. PATRICK'S DRUM. 1
The Sunken Rock and the Legend of
the Banished Snakes
There is an old legend to the effect
that St. Patrick banished all reptiles
from Ireland by beating a drum, but
no one probably seriously believes the
story. According to the myth, he took
his drum out for tho purpose mention
ed and commenced pounding it so vig
orously that he knocked a hole In the ;
drumhead, thus seriously endangering j
the success of the miracle. While pan- j
dering what to do St. Patrick was as- |
tonishod by the nppearance of an an
gel, who Immediately set to work to
mend the broken mnsical instrument.
After the hole had been mended the 1
aneul vanished, and St. Patrick con- j
tluoed the work of serpent banishtog, j
being successful In ridding the island I
of erery representative of the snake J
trib© except one old stayer who had 1
lived so long that his tusks protruded [
from his mouth like horns. This mon- |
ster refused to leave the "land of his
fathers," and the good saint resolved to
practice a little piece of He
removed the patch which the angel had
put on the drumhead and then per
suaded tho serpent to creep Into the
dram for the night. When the reptile
had done as requested, St. Patrick
glued down the magic patch and then
threw drum, serpent and all into the
sea. A sunken bowlder off the west j
•coast of Ireland Is called St Patrick's [
drum.
To Sir Humphry I»nvy belongs the
credit of discovering that the flame of
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 784 meshes to the squure
inch. This contention may be tested by
bringing a flame in contact with simi
lar gauze, when It will be found that
the flame will not go through the
meshes. This Is owing to the cooling
action of the wire, which tends tore- ;

WASHINGTON'S WOOING.
Matters of Importance Forgotten Ba>
cause of Martha Custis.
j In the traditions of any member of
the Washington fninlly the story of
Martha Curtis is of supreme impor
tance, writes Cora A. Moore in the
New Broadway Magazine.
It happened one day that 6he was
visiting at the plantation of a neigh
bor, Major Chamberlayne, when there
came riding In haute an officer in the
British unllorm. The business that he
had with the major he transacted
quickly, declining an Invitation to
stay because, as be declared, he was
on his way to the governor at Wil
liamsburg on matters of importance.
But the host repeated the Invitation
more urgently, slyly remarking that he
had also beneath his roof the hand
somest widow in Ylrglnln, a young and
charming woman.
Ah, a lady in the case! That was
different. But the plans of men have
often waited on Cupid. When the offl
j cer bowed low over the hand of the
; lady whom he met In the major's draw
i tng room he forgot Williamsburg and
| the governor, and she, pleased with
I the courage of that colonel, George
Washington, of whose military fame
[ she had heard so much, scintillated
j and sparkled with even more than her
! nsnal fasclnntlon. That evening, long
after the rest of the household had re
; tired, he und the churmlng widow sat
I by the fireplace In the shadowy draw-
I lng room qulto without a chaperon to
j regulate the tide of swiftly moving
j events.
Soon there was a resplendent wed
| ding at the home of the bride. Direct
ly afterward a coach and six horses,
guided by liveried black postilions, con
i veved the newly married pair to her
| town house in Williamsburg. Business
interests for some time demanded the
presence of Colonel Washington at the
| capital. Later he took his bride and
| her two children, Martha Parke Custis
I and John Parke Custis, to his own es
( tate at Mount Vernon, where they en
| joyed that happy domestic life which
is celebrated in history.
PORTABLE FIREARMS.
The First Muskets Were Clumsy and
Awkward to Handle.
While the Introduction of portable
firearms Into Europe Is of compara
tively recent date, their use was fre
quent among the Mohammedans of
eastern Asia at a very early period. La
Brocquiere, who made a Journey to
Jerusalem In the middle of the fif
teenth century and who traveled ex
tensively In the east, mentions the fir
ing of small arquebuses at the great
festivals In Damascus.
The first use of muskets in Europe
was at the siege of Bhege In 1591 by
the Spanish soldiers. These arms were
so extremely heavy that they could not
be used without a rest. They were
provided with matchlocks and were ef
fective at a considerable distance.
While on the march the soldiers them
selves carried only the ammunition and
tho rests, and boys bearing the muskets
followed after, like caddies on a golf
course.
Loading these cumbersome arms was
a slow operation. They were clumsy
and awkward to handle. The ball and
powder were curried separately, and
the preparation anß titljalfer.ertt: of the
match took a long time.
Before long, however, Improvements
began to be made. The guns became
lighter in construction, and the soldiers
carried their ammunition in broad
shoulder belts called bandoliers, to
which were suspended a number of lit
tle leather cowsred wooden cases, each
of which held a charge of powder. A
pouch, la which the bullets were car
ried loose, and a priming horn hung at
the side of the soldier.
As late as the time of Charles I.
muskets with rests were still in use,
and it was not until the beginning of
the eighteenth century that firelocks
were successfully employed.
IN CASE OF FIRE.
The Landlord Told His Literary Guest
How to Get Out.
In the days before the dawn of his
fame It was the practice of a certain
well known author to wander up and
down the land seeking what he might
devour In the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drifted
into Arkansas, "roughing It,"and not,
as he expresses it presenting an ap
pearance calculated to Inspire a hotel
; r< prtetor with unlimited confidence.
The only hotel in the town, a frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to a room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
■window it was a straight drop to the
ground.
"Say, how would I get out of this
place in case of fire?" he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his grip.
The other eyed him coldly.
"Waal," he drawled, "all yo' s would
have to do would be to show ther night
watchman—the one with ther shotgun
—a receipted bill foh yo' board an'
lodgln' an' get him to tie up the bull
dog."—Cleveland Leader.
The Hiss Polite.
The Japanese prince drew In Ills
breath with a hissing sound as he bent
over the young girl's hand.
"Prince," she said. "I have been up
against a lot of Japanese, and they all
hiss like that when they meet you,
What's the reason, anyway?"
"The reason Is politeness," the prince
answered. "I hiss- -like this—l draw in
niy breath—l keep on drawing it in as
long as I remain near you. For If I
blow any out some of It might be
blown in your fair face. What an of
fense! Shocking! And so we Japanese
always hiss In exchanging greeting*.
Out of politeness we hold our breath."
The Teath.
The accumulation of tartar on the
teeth makes them unsightly and Is of
ten the cause of a bad breath. If tho
teeth ore properly brushed. each day
tartar will not hare the chance to ac
cumulate, but If has, already.-bean
allowed to do soijk.caa.be remolded -by
a very simple treatment. Moiston -the
toothbrush in warm water and dip It
into magnesia. Bub on the teeth, end
after three applications the tartar will
have entirely disappeared.
THE SUGAR PLUM.
ft Is the Most Ancient Candy, Antedat
ing the Christian Era.
The most anrtent kind of candy is the
sugar plum. It was the Invention of
Julias Dragatus, a noted Roman baker
and confectioner, who belonged to the
family of Fabius. According to the
New York Herald, It was In 177 B. O.
that he made the great discovery which
for twenty centuries has done so much
damage to teeth.
Ttiese bonbons, called dragatl, after
their Inventor (dragees In French), re
mained the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fabius. But at the birth or
marriage of one of that family a great
distribution of dragatl took place as a
sign of rejoteing. The custom is still
observed.fcy many of the nobility of
Europe,
The CpstlUu tfs of far later origin,
havln£t>«>n invented and Introduced
Into FtonSce by an Italian confectioner,
the Florentine, idhn Pastil la, a pro
tege of tte MBdlets. When Maria de*
Medici married Henry IV. of France,
Pastllln uacompanled his sovereign to
the French couflt, where his bonbons
had a tremendous vogue. Everybody
wanted the Florentine's pastilles, which
were excellent. He made them with
all kinds of flavors—chocolate, coffee,
rose, violet, mini; wine, strawberry,
raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope and car
nation.
Burned almonds ore purely of French
origin, owing their inception to the glut
tony of u certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Dujiiessls-Pralln, on
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, who
had already invented many a tooth
some dainty, to concoct a new bonbon
for hiin. Lassagne searched, reflected,
combined, until finally be conceived a
delicious bonbon, which he baptized
gloriously with the name of his master,
I'ralino, the French for burned alm
onds.
THE ROMAN ANGARIA.
Ancient Postal System That Came
Down From the Persians.
The carefully organized postal sys
tem of today Is of course more com
plete than the angaria of the ancient
liomaus, yet their mail traveled with
considerable speed.
The system of angari, or couriers on
horseback, was borrowed from the Per
sians, who, according to Zeuophon, hod
established it under Cyrus the Elder.
The ltoinan adaptation of It was tho
best system of tnuismlttlng letters
among the ancient states.
All along the great Boman roads
houses were erected at a distance of
five or six miles from each other. At
each of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept, and by the help
of relays It was easy to travel a hun
dred miles In u day.
These services were Intended for the
state only, it being imperative to se
cure the rapid interchange of official
communications. In the time of Julius
Caesar the system was so well or
ganized that of two letters the great
soldier wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Home the one reached its destination
In twenty-six and the other in twen
ty-eight days.
Private citizens had to trust to the
services of slaves, and It Is not until
the end of the third century that we
hear of the establishment of a ixistul
system for private persons by the Em
peror Diocletian, but how long this
system remained history does not say.
The supply of horses and their main
teaance were compulsory, and only "the
emperor could grant exemption from
either. The word angaria therefore came
to mean compulsory service In dis
patching the royal mall.—Scrap Book.
fne Word "Widow."
As a word "widow" is most inter
esting. Max Mueller traced it back
through thousands of years with hard
ly any change of form or meaning.
"The wo I'd at its original formation
meant simply a woman left without a
man, Just as It does today, and it has
remained nil these ages materially un
changed both in sound and meaning."
A thousand years ago the Anglo-Saxons
tised tho word in England and north
Germany. The Meso-Goths and, earlier
than they, the Latin people knew it
centuries before the Anglo-Saxons, and
t'.ie Sanskrit records show that a thou
sand years before Latin was written
the same word was spoken on the
slopes of the Himalayas.
Don't Hurry.
Do nothing in a hurry. Nature never
does. "More haste, worse speed," says
the old proverb. If you are In doubt
sleep over It. But. above all, never
quarrel in a hurry; think It over well.
Take time. However vexed you may
be overnight, things will often look dif
ferent In the morning. If you have
written a clever and conclusive but
seathing letter, keep It back till the
next day, and It will very often never
go at all.—Lord Avebury.

Japanese Women Wrestlers.
A correspondent In Japan writes:
"One of the most remarkable sights I
have ever seen was that of some wom
an wrestlers in Yokohama. We en
tered a large barnlike building, in the
center of the lioor of which was a
ring of hard, damp earth, marked out
by a plaited straw band, in which two
women wrestled furiously. Almost Im
mediately one was thrown, and she
fell on the ground with a flap resem
bling the sound made by a fish when
landed In the bottom of a punt. Be- !
fort' she had scrambled laughingly to ;
her feet another combatant rushed Into
the ring and gripped the victor, and the
prize went to the woman who held out
the longest. The auditorium was cram- '
rned to suffocation by a motley crowd [
of Japanese, who yelled and whistled
and shrieked at each successful throw. |
The combatants were of splendid phy- I
pique and fit 'mothers of soldiers.'"
The Falling Leaf.
The falling of a leaf is brought about
by the formation of a thin layer ot '
vegetable tissue at the point where
the leaf stem Joins the branch of the :
tree. After the leaf ceuses to make j
starch and sugar for the tree this tis
sue begins to grow and actually cuts 1
the leaf off. It Is therefore not a !
mere breaking away on account of the j
wind bending the dried stems, but an !
.......
longer useful. The falling of ripe 1
fruit Is dependent upon the same proc- |
ess.
Trust not him that hath once broken
faith.—Shakespeare.
