THE ALPAABET.

The letter F, while old, is obscure In or
lgin and history.
According to Blair, the first alphabet
was Invented by Memnon, king of Egypt,
about 1929 B. G.
1t is said by Chinese scholars that the
language has separate character for every
word, hence the extraordinary difficulty
in mastering written Chinese.
In number Of languages no characters
exist for the vowel sounds, consonants
only being expressed and the vowels in
dicated by modification of tho letter.
1t is a curious fact that in the northern
parts of Ireland and Scotland alphabetical
characters closely resembling those of the
Saxon were In common use until the end
of the sixteenth century.
Tho Oldest Jewish alphabet is supposed
by some scholars to have been an adapta.
tion of the Egyptian ideographs. Its earlI-
est use in a monument is supposed to be
the Sloan inscription at Jerusalem.

Lin Phoenicinn and Hebrew was larned,

munition. Powder was abundant, caps
were being rapidly manufactured, but
lead was exceedingly scarce. This ur-
gent need coming to the knowledge of
Mr.. Roger Chew, farmer residing near
Charlestown, he communicated withGen
T. ]. Jackson, who had just succeeded
Gen. Johnston in command of the val

diers and four wagons to dig and convey
to camp one-fourth mile of lead piping
used to convey water to the house and
grounds. That Sabbath day was busy
one. Finding the task beyond their
powers, the laborers and wagons of the
neighborhood were pressed into service.
The precious metal was conveyed to
camp and hurriedly nodded This same
ammunition served a great purpose in

He was educated in the city schools of

the Falls City bank until 1870, retiring
from the position of Teller to accept a
place eunder Collector of Internal Revenue
James F. Buckner. Sr., as deputy collec-
tor. In 1880 he accepted the position of
assistant cashier in the Bank of Kentucky.
Eight years later he was made cashier,
which place he now so successfully fills.
"Mr. Hays is a banker of the old
school. Seventeen years under the tutor
ship of Mr.. Thos. L. Barret, one of the
ablest bankers in the country, fitted him
for a career in the financial world that is
