nENTAL CARD. J. KESI-ER 'Who was the inventor of tho steel pen? We fear that his name, like that of the individual who ate the first oyster, is destined to remain unknown to the millions who otherwise would be eager to render their acknowledgments to their groat benefactor. Vhat should we do without steel pens Why, it might be asked, what should we do without'the printing press Like the railroad and the electric telegraph steel pens have become one of the necessities of the age. In the days when four wheeled coaches were deemed the ne plus ultra of locomotion, and when a journey from the metropolis to the midlands was a task requiring several days preparation, folks were content to use quills, which they cut and mended at their leisure.

But after a time men grew weary of continually mending pens, and so, after maDy attempts and failures, the steel pen came into use not tho article with which we are now familliar, but one mounted in a bone case, and known as Wise's pen. This was in the beginning of the present century but there is reason for believing that the invention was of earlier origin, steel pens Baa fitted up tho oillce in Duuning's Building, a few doors above the Bank, where he will be happy to serve friends who Deed bis professional services.

Sand-bertson, and he lost his scalp at the battle of Washita. He allowed the envious to examine his poll, and a look at tho still red and tender spot from which his scalp was jerked away was not calculated to prejudice -any one in favor of "h'ar lifting." As but fow persons have ever lived to undergo the process, perhaps the sensations experienced by Mr. Sandbertson will interest and enlighten.

Says he: "I was in the infantry, Custer had command of the troops. There was- quite a force of cavalry with us, but they were about a mile in the rear when we first discovered the reds. Some of the-troops had been sent around so as to-attaok on the other side. Tho reds were within eighty rods of them for half an hour before daybreak. Justin the gray of morning the firing commenced ou both sides, and wo had it all our own way for a few minutes, the cursed snakes being much confused, and not knowing what was up.

At length they rallied, and we could hear Black Kettle shouting and ordering. The vermin got into holes and behind rocks anywhere they could find a place, and began to fight back with a will. We fired whenever we could see a top-knot, and shot squaws there-were lots of them jnst as quick as Indians. We first went in for wiping out the whole gang.

Our present frail existence is the unsubstantial basis upon which too many are building the fabric of their happiness but it is building a nest upon a wave.

The number of blanks generally cut out in one day by a female is three hundred gross, and as each gross contains one hundred and forty-four, the gross total thus cut would be forty-four thousand two operation strongly resembles the schoolboy trick of moving the hand rapidly backward and forward under a regularly descending penknife.

For one description of pen a steam press is used, but for all tho other presses- worked by hand labor alone are employed. Tho pens are next carried from tho blank cutters to the side slitters, after which they are pierced; the two operationssometimes take place together. A kind of annealing process is then gone through, for th pwrfw- tf preparing the lank lor being stamped. The stamping press is exquisitly contrived, and the girl -who works it places the fiat blank side slit on the die, her foot works a treadle, and the next moment out comes the pen impressed with the required inscription.

Married lite which begins with ceremony ought to end in sham, shame and divorce. Marriage is a mystery of God a sacrament, and is to be enterprised "reverentially, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God." It is no ceremony. In that solemn service man undertakes to cherish, protect, honor and love his wife, even as Christ His Church. And the wife, regardless of rights, equities and selfish reserves, gives herself, losing name and station, and is "married unto her husband.

And this in-troduces a disturbing element which makes their estimates of the other person of no value. They are looking on the other person through spectacles strongly tinged with green perhaps with yellow. If you desire to form a sound and right estimate of any one whose work is the same as yours, or may be regarded as a competitor for the same kind of standing, you must for the time forget yourself altogether. But there are people who have it not in them to form an impersonal and unselfish estimate of another. They never think that the other man is six feet high, or seven, as the case may be but that he is so many inches taller or shorter than they are.

They never think that the man is a very stupid man but that he is not so lever as they are, or stupider than they are. Such are the human beings who are disconcerted unless they are recognized as cock of the walk. In selecting their associates they do not want equal companions but humble attendants.
