Origin OF the letter VI.

The letter Y may be regarded as the
mutilated remains of one or the SYM
bols used By the ancient Egyptians in
their hieroglyphics or picture writing
A common animal in their country was
the two horned sand viper. d represen-
tation OF which stood for ". The
priests ultimately found that for the
practical purposes of everyday life it
was waste of time to use elaborate
hieroglyphics and invented kind of
shorthand to meet the occasion. Tn
this the snake was reduced to a v with
a dash W to represent horns and
body.
The Phmnicians adopted this letter,
and from them we get our V by loss of
the dash. leaving only the two little
horns Of the original picture, This
snake Is still common i'm Egypt and Ii
probably the one mentioned lii Genesis

In the south Of France stills are
necessity to the people, who are mostly
shepherds. They must walk on stills in
order to oversee their vast fiocks of
sheep as well as to pass through the
boys.
These hepherds-men. women and
children continuously on stills
from six to eight feet high. These
stills are merely fastened to the feet
Sometimes the stills have uprights
reaching as far as the knees and bound
firmly to the legs.
Generally these shepherds and shep-
herdesses carry long poles, which they
can use either as balancing poles or as
supports-very long canes. us it were
reaching to the ground. They become
so expert in silt walking that it is no
unusual sight to see a shepherdess
striding along on stills that raise her
six feet above the ground, with her
balancing pole strapped to her back
and her hands busily knitting socks for
husband, son or brother.
The complete unconcern with which
these country folk make their way
along on stills is astonishing. One
might almost say that the children
have stills given to them instead of
cradles. Washington Star.

Musical Tones.

A stringed instrument suspended in

will sound when tones corresponding
to the open strings are produced on the
pianoforte. The volume of the answer

Of the persuading tone and the sensi-

There is familiar anecdote told of a
famous tenor who by singing, the tone
that was consonant with that of a
wineglass could make the glass shiver
so violently that it would fall to pieces.

that the cause of harsh. rafting

Hunor ana Philosophy
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH
MATRIMONIAL AGENT.

While no one will disparage
The old time way of marriage.
A year or two OF courtship and then the
wedding jaunt
Yet for the bashful creature
Who longs 10 pay the preacher
These matrimonial bureaus come as q
long felt want.
Some fellows ten times better
Can make love In a letter
Than if they meet in person the girl that
they adore;
They stammer and they stutter
And melt like process butter
And long to find knothole to drop down
through the floor.
To tog out like dandy
And lug bag of candy
Around on Sunday evening just suits the
man OF nerve,
But for the bashful lover
Who SHES and runs TO cover
The postmen playing Cupid useful pur-
pose serve.
Light hearted almost jolly.
Some men viii face volley
Walk to blazing cannon and look It in
the eye:
The same men will surrender
Or from the softer gender
In terror. fear and trembling will turn
away and fly
Where billing soft and cooling,
And such like things are doing
He'd give half years wages IL he were
in the play,
But with the ladies' glances
He dare not take the chances;
Although his heart is willing his legs will
walk away
And so. forlorn and single,
Because he cannot mingle
He walks around the edges with palpi-
tating breast;
Faint hearted as a rabbit,
He cannot form the habit
OF calling on the ladies and showing off
his best
But armed with pen and paper
Then he can do the caper;
With burning force and fervor his words
like skaters glide;
In language warm and clever
He says what he could never
Make plain unto the lady If she were al
his side
So in the marriage broker
lie holds The winning joker.
And by aggressive playing he wins this
lady fair.
AS brave as General Shafter
They happy ever after
Live in a vine clad cottage a most de.
voted pair
