perhaps the funniest thing to b" toid
respecting the antiquity Of fishing re-
latrs w the holy wars which were
wng,1 In ancient Egypt over Il" tinny
drnizcns OF the water, the conflicts
arising from the circumstance THAT, MS
often happened, one tribe would insist
with the utmost irr'vVr"nre upon cnt-
ing up the fishes which the inhabitants
Of an adjoining territory held IN divine
alteration.
The child OF today, IN learning hia al
phnlrt, calls the letters 10y their names
simply because the ancient lhnnicianS
were pleased to make similar figures
the eyrntols Of certain sounds. and Il Is
thought very likely that the rhn'ni-
clans hnvc been driven to invent that
alphabet by the necessity Of "rre-
spending with peoples Of various
tongues Incidentally to the great com
