of the development Of alphabets win
show that mankind has all along had
characteristic propensity to copy
rather than to invent.
Regarding the Persian alphabet
maker, then. as copyist rather than
a true inventor, It remains to turn at
tention to the Phoenician source
whence, as is commonly believed, the
original alphabet which became the
mother Of all existing alphabets'
came into being. 1t must be admit.
ted at the outset that evidence for the
Phoenician origin of this alphabet ia
traditional rather than demonstrative.
The Phoenicians were the great trad.
ers Of antiquity; undoubtedly they
were largely responsible for the
transmission Of the alphabet from one
part of the world to another once II

Brokers of Wall Street

Wall street brokers hold themselves
q million times higher in caste than
bookmakers. And they are right.
They are the creme de la creme Of
finance. Bookies are the scum. Yet
there are many bookmakers in The
street, and not few of them are
hackers oil brokers. Some are big
operators supporting brokers by their
commissions. There are LOO mem
bers of the Stock Exchange, and these
represent brokerage and commission
firms whose partnerships aggregate
no less than | 1852 ablebodied men. 1t
Is safe to venture the assertion that
each member of the exchange and his
partners would turn up the nose at
an income Of less than $50 900 year
Hence:

Losses In Famous Battles.

In the famous battle of Sedan, when
the French were overpowered by the
Prussians, the opposing armies were
not quite on an equality as regards
numbers. The French had $4,000
men in the field, and their enemy
had 10000. Yet the losses were re-
spectively $4,000 and 5000, yielding
percentages OF 81 and 8. In the bat
