8tencll Letter« Used by Ancients.
Movable characters were known to
the ancients; they were used In teach
ing children to read. The ancients
had also stencil letters, which they
used to secure a regular style of pen
manship. They even made use of
plates, thus open-cut, containing an en
tire page; It was placed on the papy
rus to guide the pens of children; “an
excellent means,” salth Quintilian, “ to
learn them not to exceed the desired
proportions.” The Emperor Justinian
(A. D. 618) could neither read nor
write, an unexampled thing in one of
such high rank. When It was neces
sary for him to sign his name, he had
a sheet of gold, through which were
cut the letters of his name. "Then,”
said Procopius, “ placing this tablet
on the paper, one conducted the hand
of the prince, holding the stylus dipped
In purple on the type of the different
letters, and took away the writing fur
nished with his signature.” The same
thing is reported of King Theodorle
and of Charlemagne.— National Maga.
