Gentle Suggestion.

The JOURNAL knows nothing of the
exact science of civil engineering, but
it hopes that in the Broadway surveys
for paving the science can be made to
respect surface cCnformations more
than at some places on Union street.
In short, gentlemen, at all points on
Broadway avoid making the buildings
look like structures overlooking IA rail
road emf

The demand for old newspapers has
become 50 widespread that the jour
NAL is moved to announce that ut these
headquarters they are for sale, not for
donations. Their keep requires more
care than destruction; hence, small
price is charged to those who find them
useful.

The Candid peDys.

No man has ever yet succeeded in
painting an honest portrait Of himself
in an autobiography however sedu-
lousy he may have set to work about
it. In spite of his candid purpose he
Omits necessary touches and adds SUI
perfuous ones. At times he cannot
help draping his thought, and the least
shred Of drapery DISCUSSES it. 1t is
only the diarist who accomplishes the
feat of self portraiture, and he, without
any such end in view, does it uncon-
sciously. A man cannot keep a daily
record Of his comings and goings and
the little items that make up the sum
Of his life and not inadvertently give
himself away at every turn. He lays
bare his heart with candor not posi-
BILE to the self consciousness that in
evitably colors premeditated revelation.
Unknowingly he wears his heart upon
his pen for DAVIS to peck at While
Mr.. Samuel Pepys was filling those
small octave pages with his perpleXing
cipher he never once imagined that he
was adding a Photographic portrait Of
himself to the worlds gallery of i'm
mortals. We are more intimately ac-
quainted with Mr. Samuel Pepys, the
inner man-his little meannesses and
his generosities-than we are with half
the persons we call our dear friends

In the earliest Latin inscriptions and
manuscripts no system of punctuation
is followed. The full point q was
gradually introduced, being placed on
the level, middle or top of the letters.
In the minuscule manuscripts Of the
eighth, ninth and following centuries
the PERIOD on the line or high, was
first used; then the comma and semi
colon and the inverted semicolon,
whose power was rather stronger than
that of the comma. Some say that the
Caroline minuscules Of the ninth cen
fury exhibit the note of interrogation,
for which the inverted semicolon,
which was gradually dropped, may
have furnished the mark. The Greeks
use the semicolon as an interrogation
point. In English the colon is said to
have been introduced about 1856, the
comma about 1901 and the semicolon
about 1870. In Sir Philip Sidneys car
cadia" Q5SO all the punctuation points
appear, including the note of interro-
cation, asterisk and parentheses.

that the whole body and mind need

NOT COMING
American Mining Engiueers
 Cane l Western Tip.

The Western and Northern trip planned by the American institute of Mining Engineers has been cancelled for the reason that it was found impos- sible 10 secure sutable transportation accommodations. The engineers want ed to get a special train Of a dozen or more cars. but the Eastern roads are SO crowded with work that the equip mont could not be spared. Such was the information conveyed by wire Co General Manager Newell at Vancouver just before his departure for Skagway.
 Mir. Newell says the trip had been planned carefully particularly a, to transportation from Vancouver 10 Skagway and from thi, place into Daw- son. All arrangements had been com pleted to handle the excursion com iortable and eXpeditiou,ly 10 Dawson andreturn.
 Mir. Newell says the C. A. R. and other national organizations had all the railroad equipment tied up that could be spared from the regular transpor- tatiou business.
