The London Press Mes0s says: ''Cax-
ton, the first English printer, had three
punctuation points-the comma, the
colon, and the period; bat it is doubt
full if he had any idea of the principles Of
punctuation. The confusion resulting
led to tho separation of words by a
single dot. Then a space between the
words superseded the dot, which was
made to perform another service, VIZ,
to show the divisions of a sentence.
Some of Caxton's books are entirely
without points. In others one of the
three points is used to the exclusion Of
the others. OF the comma he used two
sorts, short and long, but with no
variation in meaning. The semieolon
had no existence for him, though some
thing like it appears once, and once
only, in his great heading type. He
used the hyphen constantly: and where
the line was very close spaced made
the colon, which was much simmer do
duty for it. The paragraph mark, Z,
as showing the commencemento of new
sentence, took the place Of period,

pose. 1t was not until the sixteenth

Is that persons who are attecked by in

A Mole. Catcher.

A mole-catcher is picturesque per-
sonage, more interesting in his life and
surroundings than many better known
or prettier types of life. He can hold
his own with many game keepers and
the country characters which abound
where leaves are green and fields are
plowed and waters are clear. though he
has nothing more terrible to hide in the
earth than wooden trap, and all the
skill he possesses is his own experience
Of cunning. He follows his work as
silent as the moles themselves, and his
humble earnestness would stand many
q preacher in good stead.
We might, with little wit, make fun
of his old clothes, his leather CATERS,
his soiled knees, his battered hat, and
rough hands, and compare him &, a
scarecrow; but the moment we talk to
him we find what store of strange OBJ
servations have been gathered mp by
those cute eyes, observations which his
wife at night by the fireside alone
shares. and we begin to consider what
an immense debt we dwellers in cities
owe this rustic for keeping down the
moles and preserving the crops. As
you travel on the highway you see the
rude moie-catcherd down on his knees at
work, with his hands in the soil bless
ing the ground by playing havoc with
the black vermin; and wherever the
marks of his knees have been the land
prospers and grows green in spring.
His hands are SO stiff with rheumatics
that they can hardly close, and his
eyes are always among his feet, 'as it,
he says with wan smile. che was in
search of half crown he had lost in
his young days.',e Yet in fact his oc-
cupation is an artificial one, and has
been brought about by high farming
and game preservation; .Weasels."
he remarks, t'destroy nloles like smoke.
God has aye one vermin to keep down
another!''
The gamekeepers have destroyed
many weaseis, artificial means have to
be taken to destroy moles. Looking
from the window of railway carriage
at the solitary figure on the field, you
would think he has about the most
lonely and wearisome work on the face
of the earth; but old Jim says: s.Man.
/ never weary. I'm aye seeing some
thing new. Faith, the moles'n no al
low one to be idle or weary. So
whiles think my auld watch has ta'en
fright an leaped an hour or two, the
time fees by so quick. You set man
to kill moles, an faith, he'll never
weary ssIt's ine,'' continued he,
and the remark was that of healthy
man, s.it'sfine to. be tired at night after
q long and a hard days work, and to
fall asleep as your cheek kisses the pill
low. A hard days work has a good
nights rest. Any open-air work like
mole-catching makes one sane-minded
and moderate in thought, and gives one
