"Oh, but they do We shall want to

THE ALPHABET
The Worlds Wait in Order to Learn Its
Letters,


Letters.
From 5000 to 1000 b. c.. mankind
labored with patti nee and ingenuity,
yet never succeeded in producing A, b,
c. 1t was reserved for the Pnulician
traders, who. as Noltaire poins out,
We're too busy to devote time to the learn
in of four or five hundred emhlems for
Use in writing, to develop the broad
generalization of an alphabet, which was,
C impaired with the syllabarv. A knowl-
eIge OF the large total which is made bv
the combinations of twenty-five things
would show tie modern student that an
"A p,iabet of twenty five letters might
easily be employed illimt rlIy in writing.
Yet wIeH first employed the alphabet
WAS no doubt treated with scorn by or
tHOuoX writer's, whose education bound
them down by pedantic laws. 1t might
b. good enough for ignorant merchan $,
but was clearly unfit for educated per-
sons s. it comes about that among the
earliest of APP abetic tests we find dock
cts on The backs of cuneif rm documents,
winch are neither religious nor historic,
bat merely mercantile agreements In
the end the universities were swept away,
the hierogIvpIpir scribcs We're out of en-
pc mem1, and mankind was taught to
write its own letters in the A, b, G. of
the PhnHician merchant, and finally the
hierogIyphic and syllable writings were
so utterly forgotten As to employ the
lives of several generations of scholars
for their re every.
The inventors of the alphale5 clearly
worked on some previous syllablry. Just
as the Pers ans or The Egyptians tried to
develop alphabets by selections of syl-
Liable emblenls, The question as to the
p. enician alph bet is sill from what
syllabary did it arise? The Oldest dated
monuments i'll aIphah t cal ritin5 as
yet known belong o the e tn century,
B. c., including TIE Moub.te stone and
the new Inscription of PAnammu, for the
large ma! ority of l'imnican texts as vet
discovered are even later ,an the Per-
sian age. The ia .ou( coffin of E,hmun-
azar from Sidon has b.rn shown, by aid
of a newly discovered text from near
Acre dating 22l t. G. }, to belong to the
times of the Ptolrme', and the one He
brew text at present known Che Sloan
inscription is very clearly of the age of
HeZekiah, about 700 b. G.

The scientists, doctors, and others who

their cigarettes. Cd women, men, boys,
and even the children were smoking. 1t
was a common sight to see little tots
not over or years old, with a string
of beads around their necks and cigar
cite over each ear, smoking like full
grown man, as they trotted about as
naked as on the day they were born.
Questioning an English speaking native
! learned that the children are taught to
chew the betel nut mixed with tobacco
and to smoke as soon as they are able to
walk. Notwithstanding this excessive
use of the seductive weed, | saw no ill
effects from it, On the contrary, all of
the children seen smoking were sleek
fat little bodies, who seemed to enjoy
their cigarettes with evident relish. -

Relation of the Left Hand to Health.

In connection with the subject of the
duality of the brain there is one point of
great Importance about which I can only
saw a few words. 1t is that we have a
great many motor elements in our brain
and our spinal cord, which we neglect
absolutely to educate, Such is the case
particularly with the elements which
serve the movements of the left hand
Perhaps, however, fathers and mothers
will be more ready to develop the natu-
raj powers of the left hand of their chill
dren, giving them thereby two powerful
hands, if they accept that, as believe, the
health of the brain and spinal cord would
improve if all their motor elements were
fully exercised = DR.. Brown-Sequard.
