the defeat OF the proposed charter amend

creased taxes on the manufacturing plants,
which were the principal values in the dis
trict it was desired to annex. One Of the
strongest arguments used by those opp0s-
ed 10 extension was the hostility to capi-
tai, which would have been virtually i'm

Another effective argument was that the

fhe Boston subway.

Z The subway OF Boston Is undoubted-
" one OF the most remarkable under
ground transit achievements in tns
world, not alone for the engineering
difficulties successfully surmounted,
but for the still more remarkable fact
that this municipal undertaking, in
these days Of municipal construction
scandals, was constructed for a sum
less than that placed at the disposal
OF the transit commission by over ST.
100000. The estimates provided for
the expenditure Of $7,OO0,O0O, but the
Boston Transit commission has the
proud distinction of turning over the
work to the municipality lin whom
the title, is vestedD, for about
$4,000, 600 81. 500, 900 for construction,
and $1,OOO,OOO for real estate.
Through network of streets and
alleys, often not more than 25 feet
In width, thronged during the day with
teams, cars, and pedestrians, and lined
on either side with buildings. the work
OF excayating thousands of tons Of
earth, the placing of the requisite ma
chinery, and the carting away Of the
excavated material, had to be prose-
cuted. A perfect maze Of gas and
water pipes, telegraph, telephone and
other electric wires were to be found.
Three burial grounds lay in the pro-
posed course. Statutes of noted per-
sons stood at points directly in The
line. There was the danger of dis
turbing the foundations Of buildings,
since in many cases excavation must
go within two feet of the walls. In
many localities scores of piles had to
be driven to support the subway floor.
The walls were erected after q fashion
calculated to make them endure for all
time.-Self Culture.

Two Contradictory SIGNS.

A certain Chicago man uses the
ground floor Of a building as an Office
and salesroom for an alleged hair re-.
istorative. Attractive lettering on one
of his two large windows reads "Dr.
s Hair Yigor," while the inscrip-
ton on the other asserts that the re-
storative will Grow Hair ON ANY
Bald Head on Earth
Just inside the second window is
located the Office desk, at which sits
n man whose massive dome Of
thought Is as devoid of hair as gum
shoe. The spectacle forces one, to con-
,clude that at least one doctor fails to
take his own medicine or the declara-
stion on the window is too strongly

pure phonetic alphabet. OF course it
was not the first, but it was original
with her, and therefore no less cred
ible, says Harper's Magazine. The in
vention Of this alphabet is the last Of
three great protests which Korea has
made against the cumbersomeness Of
the Chinese written character. King
Se-Jo, early in the fifteenth century,
determined that the people must have
a phonetic alphabet, and college Of
scholars was convened, with the dis
tinguished Sam-mun at it's head, to de-
wise an alphabet. Looking about for
O model, they found nothing like a
phonetic alphabet, except in the Tib-
etan books which had been brought
from China and deposited in the mon
asteries Of Korea. But Tibetan, like
the Semitic languages; is consonantal
in Its character. The cOnsOnant is the
foundation, and the vowel is simply
the bridge that spans the interval be-
tween consonant and consonant.
Song Sam-mun's genius is demon-
strated in his recognition Of the fact
that this is wrong and that the vowel
is the basis Of all articulate speech. He
therefore divided the symbols into two
classes mother and "child" the
vowel being the mother and the con-
sonant the child. This was not only
absolutely original with him, but it
was absolutely scientific. The lib
etan furnished the basis for the KO-
rean consonants-n the finished Tib-
etan of to-day, but the singular char
acters found in the Tibetan Buddhist
books of Korea. For the vowels they
turned to the ancient seal character Of
China, and from its simplest radicals
picked out six, which became the
Korean vowels The combination of
the letters in the syllable was, so to
speak, triangular.
In simplicity the Korean characters
are unsurpassed. Traditions says that
the inventor took them all from the
Korean door, which consists Of COM
bination Of horizontal aud oblique lat-
tice-work; and, in truth, this could be
done.
