ON THE ORIGIN OF THE ALPHsesTs.
Thoughts Suggested by . Man wuo Has
Read Much Manuscript.

Those who are obliged to read tho
handwriting OF n number of CORES
pondents are aware how large por-
ton of educated men write mors or
less illegibly. and that, except in cases
of imperfect sight or of an unsteady
hand, this want of clearness is mainly
due to hurry. The writer sketches tho
general effect of word so as to give
himself the least trouble in conveying
its meaning, and omits all strokes
dots, and stops which he thinks not t1
be absolutely required. Nor is thit
only to be observed in civilized Eu.
rope for the handwriting of Orientals
who use the varieties of the Arabic
alphabet is equally rendered illegible
by the same causes.
1t is in tho recognition of this desire
to save labor that the underlying prin-
ciple to be followed in tracing the
growth of all geographic systems is to
he found, not even excepting the most
cumbrous and laborious of existing
methods-the Chinese-and the knowl-
edge of this principle has enabled
scholars to place on secure basis the
study of ancient models of writing.
The crude attempts made a century
ago by those who had not at their COM
mand the wealth Of geographic evil
dence which has now been gathered,
who regarded the square Hebrew OF
their own times US an original char
acter already existing in the days of
Moses. who saw no objection to at
tributing the early Christian "Sinaitic
Inscriptions" to the Israelitcs, or the
coins of the Hasmoneans to the Kings
of Judah, have now been superseded
by soundcr study of facts, and the
recovery by De Sarzec of very early
Babyloniau texts on the statues of Tell
Lo, and that of yet more archaic in
scriptions in Syria and Asia Minor and
Cyprus, has rendered it possible to
trace with certainty the progress of
the art of writing.
From the hurried scrawl of mod
ern Arabic epistle to the carefully en-
graved letters of the Moabite stone is
transition so complete hat, if we were
not possessed of the intermediate steps
represented by the Nabathean and the
Cutie, we should never be able to feel
satisfied that the Arabic alphabet is
direct lineal descendant of the Phe-
nician. Yet not only is this the case,
but the story of the Phenician let
ter itself can be carried back from
the ninth century b. c. for length
of time equal to that which divides
our own days from those of Solomon;
and the wcll-deiined form of the Mo-
abite symbols is found also to result
from continual and very gradual
change, which has produced a conven-
tional shape from what was original
ly the carved figure of natural OBJ
ject 1t has been proved, over and
over again, by independent scholars
working at different systems of writ
ing-such as the Chinese, the cunei-
form, or the Egyptian-that no people
ever invented an arbitrary system Of
writing, or ever originated an alphabet
as such by any mutual assent. All the
known graphic systems originate in a
picture-writing as rude as that of the
American Indian or of the South Afri-
can bushman.-TheE dinburg ReUieu,

A Dignified SIeeping-Car Porter.

A gentleman who was travelling on
sleeping-car, and who was to alight
at about in the morning, says the
Boston Courier, gave the porter ex.
plicit directions to wake him at the
proper time, and went to sleep. About
midnight the porter came and aroused
him.
Excuse me, sah," the porter said,
but l forgut WHARF you's goin' to get
eff"
The passenger. not much pleased at
this interruption, repeated his direc-
tions, and then again addressed himself
to sleep. He slept until few minutes
of the arrival of the train at the point
where he was to stop. when he fortu,
nately awoke. Looking at his watch
he discovered that he had barely time
to get dressed, and he scrambled into
his clothes with celebrity which saved
him from missing his station, all the
time saying to himself things concern
ing the porter which were by no means
complimentary to that individual.
AS the train drew into the station,
where it made a stop Of only moment.
the gentleman hurried out of the car,
and as he did so he passed the porter
sound asleep on a seat in the smoking
room. With poke of his valise the
passenger awakened him.
Il say" he demanded, why didn't
you call me as l told you TOP l came
very near sleeping over"
The porter drew himself up with
sleepy dignity, suppressing a yawn,
and rubbing his eyes open.
ION dis car" he returned with the
air of one who has been grossly in
suited. "dar ant none of the passen-
gers lowed to wake up the porter, an
you'll have to wait till dis individual
wakes up of himself before you can
get answered"
With perfect GOODNESS he laid him.
self down again. and the passenger
hurried out of the car without waiting
! to continue the conversation.

Uses of Paper in Japan.

In Japan. as is well known, it has
long been customary to manufacture a
multitude of articles. from overcoats
and window panes to string and pocket
handkerchiefs, out of paper, but the
Japanese Government. not content
with these feats of national ingenuity
is just now bestowing great attention
on the paper industries. and expert
menting with pith, old silk rags, and
many kinds of vegetable substances.
with view to other employments of
paper in the arts. Mr.. Liberty, in his
recent paper read before the Society of
Arts. described visit that he made to
the Government paper factory at Shiebu-
Ogi, where he watched hundreds of
intelligent little japanese girls and
women preparing the ''mitsumata," or
bark of the famous paper mulberry
tree" and arranging the snowy layers
of pulp on the rectangular straining
sleeves. Toughness and silk-like sur
face are the usual characteristics oil

recent progress in this department oil

FATE COULD NOT HARM.
The Feeling OF Security of n Man Whose
Life Was Insured For $40.

They are tearing down old houses all
over the city to make room for the
more modern houses. While these
usually n class of people who crowd
around. esger to pick up all stray
pieces of wood which come in their
direction. Colored people generally
predominant in this class and many a
family is thus supplied with fuel.
While tearing down n house in the
northwest section of the city recently
the workmen were very much bothered
by these wood hustlers," as they term
them.
The wood hustlers" in the case
were composed, with but one except
ion, of small negroes. This exception
was an old negro who had one leg
shorter than the other, and was nearly
bent double, but whether with age OK
not no one knew. He looked as if he
had worked hard all his life, but APP
pearances are deceitful.
The workmen became so incensed at
the wood hustlers" that they drove
them all away excepting the old man.
After a while the old man became more
bold, and endangered himself in try
ing to get pieces of wood. One of the
workmen spoke to him about it telling
him he would be hurt if he persisted in
getting in the way. The old man
mumbled out something but paid no
attention to the warning.
Finally he got close to the wall and
stopped to pick up piece of beam.
Just as he was STOPPING brick fell in
front of him, and he narrowly escaped
being hit. Seeing this, workman
yelled.
Look out, ole man, or you'll be
killed"
Il doan't kare," replied the old man,
and he continued to contiscate all tho
wood that came within his reach.
Again he barely escaped being hit with
another brick, and again the workman
shouted:
Il done tole yer onst to git away
from dere. The fust thing you know
you won't know nothing"
Il doan't kare," reiterated the old
man, looking around for more wood,
and, seeing some in the interior of the
building, he went for it. He had hard
ly passed the door when heavy beam
fell in the place he had just vacated,
enveloping him in cloud of dust.
Several workmcn, thinking that the
heavy beam had pinioncd the old man
to the ground, jumped down to render
all the assistance possible. Imagine
their surprise when, on reaching the
place. they found the old man gather
ing the wood as unconcerncdly as
though nothing had happened. The
workmen were speechlcss for while,
and then one said:
Look a har, ole man. youth have
to get out O. this. We don't care bout
losin' time or carryin' yer korpus
through the street"
The old man looked contemptuously
at the speaker, and then said in a don't
give-a-continental tone:

had my life 'sured TO foty dollars."-

Why the Birds Disappear.

The beautiful little mackerel gulls.
which II few years since we so plentiful
in our bays and estuaries, have entirely
disappeared, and are now never seen.
The agency which effected this was the
demand for plumage for the decoration
of the feminine equipment. So ex.
tracing was this that taxidermsts
established branches near the sources
of supply, that they might prepare the
skins of those and other birds as soon
as killed. For the mackerel gull they
paid 10 cents each, price so remuner.
ativc to professional gunners that these
birds were in the short space of two
years practically exterminated. All
of the snipe family were also in great
demand; even the little ox-eyc did not
escape, for a single order was placed
for 600, 600 of these at 8 cents each to
fill an English contract. All of our
birds of plumage were victims of this
craze for feather decoration. In many
localities where they were formerly
plentiful the red wing blackbird is no
longer found. The same may be said
of the little yellow bird, the blue jay,
the yellowhammer. woodpecker. and
the meadow lark, and many other sorts
whose plumage was in any way con.
spicuous.

One day carly in the season | caught
couple of crabs in the inlet as speci-
mems. and, having put them both in the
same bottle, | was treated to one of
the prettiest fights you ever saw. The
hint was too good to be lost. and for
the last three weeks crab-fghting has
been the hobby at this quiet seaside
resort. Every man, woman. boy and
girl, almost without exception, has his
or her fighting crab. and the matches
have been numerous aud for blood.
You can't put up Il job with crab.
He goes in for knockout, and he
stays until the victory is awarded.
It's funny thing about these ditch
crabs. Take two from the same colony
and they won't fight. Pick up one
here and go down the ditch hundred
feet and pick up second, and they'll
fight at the drop of the hat. The con-
tests take place on the board walk or
veranda. Your crab is carried to the
scene in bottle, and after being
cmptied out is shaken up to arouse his
dander. The pair are no sooner
dumped out than they clinch and the
fun begins. There is no let up
until one or the other turns tail. For
many days man from Buffalo had the
John L. of crabs. He was no longer
than many others, but he was a right
and left-hander, and the way he did
knock all Corners out was caution.
saw him win five straight matches in
single day. and the gate money was
SIS each time. AT length fellow came
up from Toms river and a match
for $25 was soon arranged. 1t took
place on the floor of a pavilion, with a
hundred spectators present, and most
of us backed our home crab for at least
half dollar.
When all were ready they were
dumped out about ten inches apart,
and each squared off at once They
were about of a size, and seemed to be
of the same species. and we looked
forward to at least fifty rounds. Alasl
however, they were vet sparring for an
opening when our Beach Haven crab
suddenly turned tail and ran away.
The other pursued him and mauled him
all over the ring and the referee de-
cided against us. The Toms river
man coopered about $50 on that brief,
and two hours later, when l found him
alone on the sands, asked him to give
il away.
For how muchp" he queried.
Say S."
Hand it over. Now then, just be-
fore you bring your crab to the ring
side dampen his claws with turpentine.
The smart of it not only gets his mad
up. but the smell scares the other crab
out of his boots. Go thou and lay for
suckers"

American stock growers may as well
make up their minds that their hold on
the European market is to be main
tanned by not only the production OF a
good article for export, but the exer-
else of no little ingenuity in meeting
the objections which foreigners are
offering to their product. American
live stock and dressed beef are figuring
more largely from year to year in the
English markets, to the natural and
great dissatisfaction of English pro-
ducers. Various pretexts are sought
by which to cut off this trade, and
whether well grounded or not, some of
them seem destined to give our ex-
porters serious annoyance before a
great while. The English market for
produce of this kind. IS of great value
to us, and we cannot afford to give it
