Ortho- graph of Coffee Years Ago—Eccentric Devices Made by Peculiar Arrangements of Letters. To invent and bring to perfection the score or go of spoken sounds which we call an alphabet have proved to be the most arduous enterprise on which the human intellect has ever been engaged. Its achievement tasked the genius of the three most gifted races of the ancient world. It was begun by the Egyptians, continued by the Semites and finally perfected by the Greeks. Writing began with ideograms (pictures representing either things or thoughts), which afterward developed into phono- grams (the graphic symbols of sounds). Although our own writing has reached the alphabetic stage, yet we still employ a number of photographic and ideographic signs. The digits I, II, III stood as pic- tures of fingers. The V was from the fin- gers collected and the thumb apart; VV opX represents the two hands, while IV and VI are only pictures of the hand, with the subtraction or addition of a finger. Ideograms 6,000 years old, and which we are showing no possibility of improving on, are such printers’ signs as the index, exclamation and parallel. If the history of any one of our alpha- betic symbols be traced back, it will be found to resolve itself ultimately into the conventionalized picture of some object. The letter M, for instance, was the pic- ture of an owl, the conventionalizing process of 6,000 years having left only the two peaks, which are the lineal descend- ants of the two ears of the owl, still re- taining between them a not inapt repre- sentation of the beak, while the vertical strokes are all that remain of the outlines of the breast. The letter F is derived from the horned Egyptian asp, the two bars being the sur- vival of the two horns, while the vertical stroke represents the body. The letter Y descended from the same picture, the two horns and body being re- tained. Then, too, in those days there was a four horned asp, which has come down to us in the letter W, the four strokes necessary to its making representing the four horns, although 6,000 years seem to have been a few too many for the body, yet that of a Kansas grasshopper may be found supplemented by the people 6,000 years from now. The letter A was originally the picture of an eagle, Egypt being the eagle’s real home land, and R was taken from a pic- ture of the human mouth. D was evolved from a picture of the hand, and so on through the pictorial origin of all our let- ters. The immediate parentage of cur Eng- lish alphabet is most difficult to deter- mine. By a series of easy steps the forms of the very letters the reader sees before him on this printed page may be traced back for some 25 centuries. These ‘‘Ro- man types,’’ as they are appropriately called, have not varied appreciably in their forms from the types used at Rome and Venice by the Italian printers of the fif- teenth century. The puzzle of all English literature is giving 26 letters an arrangement by which they will present some new impression to the ‘mind. The more brilliant that ar- rangement the more successful the writer. The writers of the English dictionary alone have been able to fit more than 40,000 words constructed from these letters with out much effort. The language is said to contain 100,000. Tho confusion of Eng- lish sounds and letters is well illustrated by spelling coffee without one correct let- ter—kauphy, which spelling is nearer the original than tho one in use, for a pam- phlet was printed in Oxford in 1659 on “The Nature of the Drink Kauphy, or Coffee.’ Many eccentric devices of literature de- pend upon the peculiar arrangement of letters. Some of these have fine sound- ing names and are recognized as famous recreations of the learned. The palin- drome, whichis a line that reads back- ward and forward, is one of the most diffi- cult of all feats of letter juggling and has engaged the attention of the world’s cleverest brains. The anagram has occupied a most pre- tentious place in literature. Wits and wiseacres of the olden times looked into the names and places for satires and for omens. Several astronomers have used anagrams to secure the credit of discoveries which they did not wish to reveal. Louis XIII retained in his service an anagram- matist named Thomas Bullon, with a pen- sion of 1,200 livres. It was deemed a prophecy of fate when it was found that the name of Louis de Boucherat could be transposed to ‘‘est la couche du roi’’ (is the mouthpiece of the king); that of Francis de Veloys to ‘‘de facon suis royal’’ (of royal strain). The fascinating Marie Touchet procured a liberal pension for the writer who deduced from her name “Je charme tout’’ (I charm all).—Detroit Free Press. International Cigar Store. At Nogales, A. T., there is a famous cigar store and drinking resort, patronized openly and above board by even the fed- eral authorities, that is built exactly plumb with the international boundary line. It boasts a little bay window abut- ment on the southern wail that pays taxes to the Mexican republic. In the bay win- dow is a choice selection of Mexican cigars that are smoked chiefly in the United States without ever paying a cent of im- port duty. John T. Brickwood is the pro- prietor of this place. Mr. Brickwood claims to be the youngest living man who came to Arizona voluntarily and perma- nently remaired there. You enter his house from the United States, pass over into Mexico, buy a cigar or a bunch of them at Mexican prices and then go back into Uncle Sam’s domain and smoke them, —Chicago Times-Herald. A Caso In Point, Hargreaves— After all, I believe there is something to the superstition about waik- ing under a ladder being a hoodoo. I started out to borrow $5 this morning and met Ferry— Wallace— And he refused you, and then you found you had walked under a ladder without noticing it? : “No, but Ferry walked under the lad- der and let mo have the $5." —Cincinnati ‘Enquirer. Ft Usually. “My wife and I have our little quarrels once in awhile, ’’ said the man who lives, with others, in the Pasteboard flats, ‘but they are all over in a few minutes,’ “I presume you mean all over the house?’ said the other man, who had had some experience in flat life. —Indianapolis Journal. The Retired Burglar. How He Once Stepped Through a Ceilng and What H d Afterwards. PP **Once,’’ said the retired burglar, “1 stepped through the ceiling of a room from a room above, where there was no floor laid. Seems as though I ought to had sense enough to kept out of that room, but I didn’t. It was the upper room in a two story extension that had never been finished. They’d laid boards down on the floor beams in one part of it and stored some stuff there, and I was foolish enough to go over and see what it was. Coming back I stepped off a beam, and then before I knew it my other foot slipped and both feet went down good and solid plumb through the ceiling and left me setting there astride of the beam. ‘“Well, this place was over the kitchen, and I had great hopes on that account, but I'd made a lot of noise, laths breaking and plaster dropping, and when I come to move I made more. But that wasn’t the worst of it; when I tried to pull my legs up, they wouldn’t come; the ends of the laths stuck into them like the barbs of a fishhook. If I'd have had both legs to- gether on one side, I could have crowded on down through easy enough. I guess I’d have gone through of my own weight, but as it was I'd got to get one leg up, anyway. I reached down and tried to hold the laths down on one side enough to let me pull my leg through. I thought if I couldn‘t do that I could manage to whit- tle the latks off with my jackknife, but pushing the laths away I knocked down a lot more plaster, and the next minute I heard a door open from the main part of the house, and an old man with a white beard came in with a lighted lamp. I couldn’t see him then, but I heard his voice, and a minute later I saw him when he stood under me, and looked up through a small hole that I'd made in pushing and hauling, alongside of one of my legs. ‘ ‘Well, you have got yourself in a fix, haven’t you?’ says the old man, cool as a cucumber. ‘“And I allowed that things did seem to be a little bit complicated. ’’ ‘“ ‘And I guess we’ll have to let you stay there, right where you are, till morn- ing,’ says the old man. ‘How are you; | pretty comfortable?’ ‘And I said I was comfortable enough, as far as that was concerned. ‘ ‘Well ——,’ says the old man, starting off and coming back presently with a closeline, ‘I reckon we'll sort of tie your legs here, so you won’t fall, and then I'll go back to bed. But you won’t have to wait long. I’m an early riser.’ ‘‘And with that he picked up the light and left me there sitting on the beam with my head and body in the room above and my feet tied together below and hop- ing that he would sleep sounder in the last half of the night than he had in the first, because then there might be a pretty fair chance of my getting away, after all. But the old man hadn’t more’n closed the door after him before it opened again, and the light came in again, carried this time by a young man, the old man’s son. He'd come to stay, and I reckon you can guess the rest, can’t you?’—New York Sun. A Village Temperance Society. We have a very flourishing so called ‘‘temperance society’’ in the village, and the result is seen in the increased comfort of the cottagers. I used sometimes to show my interest in the cause by taking the chair at a meeting now and then, bus I have given it up since ladies have begun to appear on platforms, for ladies recog- nize no rules of the game. In the middie of a passionate address they think it not indecent to appeal to the chairman to set a good example by taking the pledge. At the last meeting I attended a lady speaker, the wife of a clergyman, told how her hus- band used always before his evening serv- ice to ear an egg beaten up with brandy, which made him bilious; but since he had left off this drunken habit he had also left off his bilious attacks. This was more than old B. could stand, for he roared out: ‘ '"Twere the egg, marm, what mado he bilious. You tell your mister to take the brandy wi’out un.” One of the villagers at this meeting made a mysterious speech, in which he gave as his reason for taking the pledge that there was only in a pint of beer as much goodness as would lie on a shilling. I have one story that I used to keep in lavender for these occasions. I had it of the doctor. When he was walking the hospitals, there was a brewer's drayman who had broken his leg, and in six weeks the bone had not set. So they questioned him about his diet. ‘‘Was he accustomed to drink beer?’ ‘‘Yes, a little.”’ “About how much?’ ‘Oh, not more than three gallons a day.”” So they allowed him a couple of quarts, and the leg began to mend at once.—Cornhill Magazine. The Late Dr. Burton. In The Congregationalist Richard Bur ton tells this story of his father, the late Dr. N. J. Burton, pastor of the Park church, Hartford: ‘Among my father’s effects was found an old check, yellowed by age and torn across, the date 1870 or there- about. It had been sent by the editor of The Independent, with an urgent request for a contribution, the amount of the hon- orarium to be written in according to the contributor’s judgment and pleasure—a rather dangerous liberty to allow some of the literati. But the check remained, never filled out, in his pocketbook. The incident is typical. It was fairly pathetic to see how distrustful he was of his own accomplishment, how self depreciating. Yet at rare intervals, in moments of sud- den creative enjoyment, he realized he had done something not ordinary, and then in fitting privacy and with a beautiful frank- ness would say so. I remember, when he was lying on a sickbed in what was to be his mortal sickness, how unfeignedly he was pleased at the news of his appoint- ment as preacher to the American board meeting of the next year. No man was more appreciative of such recognition. Yet more than likely he would have sent in a declination. Conceit and ho lay asunder like pole from pole.”’ Trouble at the Start. ‘‘Henrietta,”’ said Mr. Meekton, “there is one thing that I wish to say to you frankly. So far asthe affairs of this family are concerned you are to have your own way in every particular.” Then he stood back and waited for a smile of joy to brighten her face. But there was a frown. ‘‘Of course,” she answered. ‘‘That's just like a man. If anything goes wrong, you want to be sure of having somebody to blame for it.’’— Washington Star. Practical.

Notwithstanding the comparatively nar- row limits of its natural environment the camphor tree grows well in cultivation under widely different conditions. It has become abundantly naturalized in Mada- gascar. It flourishes at Buenos Ayres. It thrives in Egypt, in the Canary islands, in southeastern France and in the San Joaquin valley in California, where the summers are hot and dry. Large trees at least 200 years old are growing in the temple court at Tokyo, whero they are subject to a winter of 70 or 80 nights of frost, with an occasional minimum tem- perature as low as 12 degrees to 16 degrees F. The conditions for really successful cultivation appear to be a minimum win- ter temperature not below 20 degrees F., 50 inches or more of rain during the warm growing season and abundance of plant food, rich in nitrogen. In the native for- ests in Formosa, Fukien and Japan cam- phor is distilled almost exclusively from the wood of the trunks, roots and larger branches. The work is performed by hand labor, and the methods employed seem rather crude. The camphor trees are felled, and the trunks, larger limbs and sometimes the roots are cut into chips, which are placed in a wooden tub about 40 inches high and 20 inches in diameter at the base, tapering toward the top like an old fash- ioned churn. The tub has a tight fitting cover, which may be removed to put in the chips. A bamboo tube extends from near the top of the tub into the condenser. This consists of two wooden tubs of differ- ent sizes, the larger one right side up kept about two-thirds full of water from a con- tinuous stream which runs out of a hole in one side. The smaller one is inverted, with its edges below the water, forming an airtight chamber. This air chamber is kept cool by the wa- ter falling on the top and running down over the sides. The upper part of the air chamber is sometimes filled with clean rice straw, on which the camphor crystal- lizes, while the oil drips down and collects on the surface of the water. In some cases the camphor and oil are allowed to collect together on the surface of the water and are afterward separated by filtration through rice straw or by pressure. About 12 hours are required for distilling a tub- ful by this method. Then the chips are removed and dried for use in the furnace and a new charge is put in. At the same time the camphor and oil are removed from the condenser. By this method 20 to 40 pounds of chips are required for one pound of crude camphor.—United States Department of Agriculture. Ancient Barbers. The cult of the beard, according to the ancient Jewish writers, started in the garden of Eden. Adam, they tell us, was several miles in height, and was furnished with a prodigious beard which reached to his middle. The ancient Jews, presumably on ac- count of this believed Edenic origin, held the beard in such high esteem that they considered it a greater insult to seize a man by his beard than to tread on his corns. They cherished the hair on their faces as the callow youth of today does his adolescent mustache, trimmed it in vari- ous forms, perfumed it with odorous sub- stances and cut it only as a sign of great affliction. So far did they carry their ven- eration for its dignity that laws were ac- tually passed regarding the manner of its wearing. This was probably done, how- ever, in order that the chosen people might not imitate the neighboring races that. made hair offerings to their gods, nor their former masters, the Egyptians, who were great patrons of barbers. The barber’s lot was a happy one in the land of Egypt, where the people had such a high gegard for the tonsorial art that the majofity of the men shaved not only the face, but the entire head, and capped their bald pates with wigs, while the priests went even further and shaved the entire body every third day. With this constant scraping of chins going on the barber’s trade was an important one in the home of the pharaohs, and its follow- ers were kept busily running throughout the length and breadth of the land from early morning until sunset. They carried heir tools in an open mouthed basket, and their razors were shaped like a small hatchet with a curved handle.—Francis J. Ziegler in Lippincott’s. General Washington’s Courtesy. In The Century there is an article by Martha Littlefield Phillips, giving ‘“Recol- lections of Washington and His Friends.” The author is a granddaughter of the youngest daughter of General Nathanael Greene, and she tells the following story in the words of her grandmother concern- ing a visit of the latter to Washington at Philadelphia: “One incident which occurred during that visit was so comical in itself and so characteristic of Washington that I recall it for your entertainment. Early in a bright December morning a droll looking old country man called to see the president. In the midst of their interview breakfast was announced, and the president invited the visitor, as was his hospitable wont on such occasions, to a seat beside him at the table. The visitor drank his coffee from his saucer. But lest grief should come to the snowy damask he laboriously scraped the bottom of his cup on the saucer’s edge before setting it down on the tablecloth. He did it with such audible vigor that it attracted my attention and that of several young people present, always on the alert for occasions of laughter. We were so in- discreet as to allow our amusement to be- come obvious. General Washington took in the situation, and immediately adopted his visitor's method of drinking his cof- fee, making che scrape even more pro- nounced than the one he reproduced. Our disposition to laugh was quenched at once.” Paddy Pottawatomy. Edwin Forrest once produced a play called ‘* Metan:ora.’’ Supers were engag- ed to personate Indian warriors, and among them was a bright Irish lad who bad a deep admiration for the great trage- dian, At a point in the play where Metamora asks, “Am I not the great chief of the ‘Pottawatomies?’’ the supers are supposed to grunt ‘‘ Ugh, ugh!” The stage man- ager had carefully drilled them in what they were expected to do, but on the night of the performance the young Irishman was go transported by Forrest’s acting as quite to forget that he was impersonating an Indian. When Forrest turned to the assembled warriors and thundered forth, ‘Am I not the great chief of the DPottawatomies?’’ the Irish boy’s enthusiasm broke through all restraint. He leaped into the air with a wild shout, and, twirling his tomahawk about his head, replied, ‘‘ Begorra, ye arn!" —London Standard. FREE P1LLs,—Send your address to H. E.

Often without any known cause there will be headache, sore throat, congh and symptoms of fever and we realize we have “taken cold.” The truth is, the body is insufficiently nourished. The blood is impoverished. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a protection against colds because it purifies and enriches the blood. It tones, in- vigorates and fortifies the whole system, enabling it to resist the effects of exposure to which a de- bilitated and run down system quickly yields. TO BREAK UP A COLD There is nothing equal to a hot foot bath, hot drinks and a good dose of Hood’s Pills on retir- ing. Inthe morning the patient will be almost ‘‘as good as new.” “1 was completely run down in health and suf- fered greatly with headache. I could not eat any- thing without distress. I was recommended to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I did 80, and now I can eat and sleep as well as I ever did, and I feel like a different person.” Mrs. ELENORE GREs- HAM, Holmesburg, Philadelphia, Pa.
