II IL strange that while persistent: effort.
kave been made for wears 10 reform the
sIeiling Of our language, no one has
Thought it worth the while TO call atuen-
ton 10 some points OF oa- system of punctu-
alton. The marks of inquiry ana of sur
prise could be used much moro effectively
Il they were to be put at the beginning a.
wei as at tie end of question or an ex-
ciarna,ion- They are both so used in Span
tsh, only the marx, when put at the begin
hing Of the sentcace, ~ inverted.
The advantage Of this use is plain. The
reader needs to know at the outset the
character rs the sentence, that he may read
it with til. orer infection. Our syst n Of
marking has led to the haiit of giving the
infection at, or near. the eend OF tie SEN
tence, when properly it ought to b. gwen
upon some word at the beginning.
Almost always the inteirogative word is
at the teyinning of the guest on, and al
most always the infection ought to be upon
that word. 1t is plain that it was 50 placed
before any mark of punctuation were used
II we have not energy or industry enough
20 use two marks, then it would be an i'm
rrovsmenr te put the one We did use at tie
beginning Of the question or OF the excla-
nnaticn.
American printers are slow to adopt q
real improvement in the use OF the marks
of quotation, found in London printed
book 9f soma years past This is the use
Of sn gle marks before and after the quoted
words, snd Of the double marks when quo
tation occurs within a quotation.
The method just reverses our pract' ce.
The change ought 10 be popular, for it is in
accordance wish Max Mriler's law OF iazi-

Au,efni Tree. =

A cocoa-rut tree bears sixty to one hun

900 OF them were brought to New York.
The roots of the tree are edible and are
eaten by the natives of the countries where
they grow, who also make baskets of them.
The young leaves are edible also when
cooked and the tough leaves are made into

Che leaves furnish arrows, boat paddles
snd other things, and tho wood of the
trunk Is used for boats and building. Both
