The True Test of BenevoIence.

The test of n mans bcnevolencc lies not in what he bcqucaths at the expense of his heirs, but in what he gives during life. If this fact was insisted upon from the pull pit more than it is, the acts of a man when living, rather than a post mortem docu ment called n will, would serve to illus trate the nobility of his life and would supply the right measure for judging him at death. The church to our view is too willing to condone a barren life in the matter of bencvolcncc for the sake of a post mortem bequcst.-Christian Work.

promise of marriage.
 The hero has left-stage heroes always run away when their presence Is most necessary-and the villain starts to town to procure the marriage certificate, using the heroine's vicious horse, Bullfinch, who sensibly spills his bad rider. The female amateur doctor now has tho opportunity to save the life of the man whom she hates, and whose wife she has promised to be For a moment she hesitates That Is the prerogative of heroine. Then she decides to do her de-u-ty. After a time the villain learns of this ''noble'' net, and the sister having meanwhile been mar ried, and his power having disappeared, he turns over certain papers, which prove that she Is entitled to the proud name of Blackmorc and n lot of other things. This is the story of ''The Coming Woman as well as can Dc traced by the average auditor.
 In what is, l suppose, intended to be the character which suggests the title of the play the horsey, meant-to- be- up-tO- date ex-circus performer, Miss Carrie Turner, is not seen at her best. In fact she Is merely nearly seen at her worst. The part is not a cOngcnial one and gives this really excellent actress little or no oppor- tunity to show New Workers of what she is capable It is said t.at ''The Coming Woman" will be shelvcd at once and The Crust of Society put on in its stead. Miss Turner in that play ought to succeed admirably, for the principal role fits her style of work to a T.

the case, what is more natural than that
the alphabet should have originated
there?
And now before stating my theory. T
would say that the labors of Egyptolo-
gists tend to show that the Egyptians aud
Semitic BabyIonians were descendants
from one common stock. These dwelt
together in prehistoric times, of course,
in Arabia. If we go back far enough we
shall find there only gesture language,
perhaps rude hieroglyphic. The Egyp-
tians, now separated from the parent
stock, and so did the Babylonians. These,
in common with the rest of the Semites,
worked out their literary salvation in
their own way. The process of more
rapid or slow development would 60 on
in the usual way of evolution among diff
ferent peoples, being brought to aSpeedier
or later state of perfection by the eXigen-
cies of their respective civilizations.
The Babylonians and Assyrians never
had an alphabet at all-they never ar
rived at stage when such became neces-
sary. The Egyptians developed a rude
alphabetism, their higher civilization
doubtless bringing this to pass. The
great foreign trade of the Minaeans, q
trade that was developed long before that
of the Phpnicians Tyre only came TO the
front in 1850 b. C.) put them, so to speak,
at their wits end; and as necessity is the
mother of finvention-after considerable
period of course, during which the alpha.
bet was in a probationary stage-they
brought it to the wonderful state of perfec-
ton we saw before. Phpnicia had
simply to borrow what it needed; it was
at their service.
Space forbids my giving description
of how the picture came TO pass into the
letter; what determined the selection Of
the characters that have survived:
how it is that alphabets are restricted to
twenty or thirty letters, and what has de-
termined their order.
The praises of the inventors of letters
have been sung by many poets. Never
can we pay the need of gratitude in full.
To the ancient Semitic belongs the praise
and the honor and the glory; for it was
he who first made IL possible for US who
have come after, to possess thoughts
which will command all minds and times,
and which, "like bars of sunshine, may
win the world to light"

subject has been apparently overlooked
by most writers-where was the original
home ofthe Semitics?
Two theories have been propounded:
ll That they came from Babylonia, or,
according to others, from Lower Meso-
potamia; t2) That they came from Gen.
tral Arabia. The former opinion has
been upheld by such scholars as Won
Kremer, Guidi and Hommel; the latter
by Sayce, Sprenger. Schrader and De
Goeie. Those interested in this part of
the subject will find q complete discus
sion of it in Wrights Comparative
Grammar OF the Semitic Languages"
chapter l.
According to the former of these the
orles we should look for the origin of let
ters to Babylonia; according to the latter,
we should look TO Arabia. Recent dis
coveries tend to prove that the latter is
the correct theory. DR.. CHASER has re-
Gently given to the world the result of his
explorations, and we have now almost
convincing proof that the Semitic alpha
bet originated in the Minaean Kingdom,
in south Arabia, whence it spread to
Egypt, Ph@nicia. and thence to Pales-
tine. We know something of the King
dom of the Minaeans and their high state
of civilization as early as the Hyksos,
1000 B. c. They had, moreover, at very
early date developed large foreign trade
in spices, etc.
Before giving the reasons for the con-
clusion that the alphabet originated
among the Minaeans, | will state, for the
information of those who may not be ac-
quainted with the fact, that the Semitic
languages may be roughly divided into
two broad divisions-North Semitic
and South Semitic. Under the former
are included Hebrew. Aramaic, Phoeni-
clan, Assyrian and Babylonian; the latter
comprises Minaean and Sabean, Ethiopic
and Arabic. | must mention the further
fact that comparative Semitic philologists
have reconstructed list of sounds that
must have existed in what they call, for
the sake of convenience, the Prote-Se-
mitic language. Now in examining the
various alphabets we observe two very
significant facts: Q) That it is only in the
South Arabian alphabets that the
names correspond to the forms of the let
ters; and (2) that the South Arabian
alphabets have separate letters for those
sounds which have been lost in North
Semitic The original alphabet was con-
structed for people that had these
sounds, and therefore this South Arabian
alphabet must be an original and not
borrowed one. 1t is a strange confirma-
ton of the theory that Arabia was the
original home of the Semites. If this be

Valuable Minerals.

Says the Philadelphia Record:
clarence S. Dement'S splendid
cabinet of minerals at his home,
1904 Spring Garden street, is said by
experts to be the largest and richest
private collection of the kind in
America. 1t fills nearly a whole floor
of his large house, which is lighted
with special reference to seeing the
treasures to advantage, and none of
the great public museums have
specimens of a size, beauty and per-
lection to surpass those that Mr.. Be-
ment has been patiently gathering
for the last 20 years or more. The
leading dealers of this country have
standing orders to send him the best
of what comes to them, and they
willingly do so. What he does not
take is sent to the British museum
as the second best buyer. While it
is difficult to set a price on a scien-
tific collection, it is said by those
who should know that Mr.. Dement'S
cabinet is worth at least 1925, OOO."
