Advice 10 Heads Of Families.

Train your clock to strike only
every two hours.
If you have dog give it to some
friend-for the time being.
Never grumble audibly about the
dressmaker's and milliner's bills.
Always let the young man see
that you wear slippers in the even
ing.
Take all the tides from the sit
ting. room chairs. Men are averse
to tides.
When you 60 to the theatre as
chaperon always hire a carriage to
20 home in and then fall asleep on
the way.
An invitation to dinner once in
while will either make the young
man feel at home or else scare him
of, This Is good way 10 learn
his intentions.
Join the club to which the young
man belongs, and If neccessay ask
him to see you home late at night
This will be an advantage TO you,
and also make the young man feel
that he is "solldr with you.
Do not make use of patent gas
extinguishers which torn all the
lights ont at 10 o'clock. The young
man might take it as a hint to go,
and he had better regulate the
light TO suit himself and the GIRL

the most original intellectual feat
accomplished on this continent
SequOyah was the son of a Cher
okee mother, his father a Dutch
peddler named George Gist. He
was born IN 1870 and brought up
as an Indian.
He neither read nor spoke the
English language, and all his
knowledge OF written and printed
speech only served to make him
acquainted with the fact that in
some way, by the signs of letters,
language could be expressed
Meditatlng between 1909 and 1921
on the subject, he devised a sys.
TEN by which his own language
could likewise be reduced to print.
For each syllable of his own speech
he contrived a sign, and by CON.
bining these signs he created a
method of writing. When he had
accomplished this analysis, and
/ found that about eighty signs could
express the sounds of his speech,
he sat about writing letters and

1t seems probable that this is
the only case in the history of
writing in which one individual
has accomplished the task OF
creating a written form for speech,
All the other methods of writing
have grown by slow accretions, re-
qulring ages for their development
That an untutored Indian should,
