First Use of Alphabet

of the development Of alphabets will
show that mankind has all along had
a 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 is
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 it
had been nvented.-Henry Smith Will
liams in Harper's Magazine.

the same colored intruder, this time
with the remark:
II know you now, and God knows
pity you"
Mr.. Sothern's guest was now too
surprised to talk. He sat in a col
lapsed condition until the same man
had entered three separate times. and
in an expressionless' voice had said:
II am as changeless as the sun.
will carry my soul pure to heaven.
You are the strange woman.
You shall be as beautiful as l am
and as happy"
This last remark was too much for
the mans nerves. He was barely
able to gasp:
"Sothern, what the - does this
mean? Is this joke or an insane
asylum? Who is this fellow"

so rich in these products. The ap-
pearance of the native fish dealer with
his basket of sinarapan Is hailed with
delight by the soldiers as well as the
Filipinos. No net is fine enough, no
hook is small enough to catch these
fish. The natives have solved the
problem by using finely woven cloth
as a net and in this way gather in
thousands at one swoop. When pre-
pairing them to eat they are first
drained in a basket. Next they are
mixed with pepper and other spices,
made into cakes, and laid upon leaves
in the sun, where they soon dry. Then
they are ready to be eaten.
The natives count them great deli
cacy, and say that they possess
flavor quite their own and very dis
tinctive They are never cooked, as
this seems to dry up all the goodness
in them, and deprives them Of their
flavor, leaving them tasteless and un-
palatable.-London Mail.

Seemed Like a Sermon

Now and then e. H. Sothern admits
visitors to his dressing room. He did
so in Cincinnati, where he entertained
somewhat nervous and eXcitable
gentleman during his moments off
the stage"
In the midst of one of their argu-
ments during which the visitor expos
tulated volubly, there entered the
room a dignified and Gecorous colored
man, who advanced to the center, say
ing in an earnest monotone:
Have you no fear of God?" and
mysteriously departed as he came.
Mr.. Sothern's guest was greatly
dumfounded, but was too well bred to
ask questions. Resuming his argu-
ment he again grew heated in his re-
marks, and again the colored man
quietly and mysteriously entered, and
clearing his voice, declared:
IF you were the devil himself, do
you think you could make me like
your"
To the guests surprise, the actor
took the interruption as matter Of
course, so Sothern's visitor in dazed
manner continued his argument, only
to be interrupted again and again by

Poison in Daily Foods

A matter of practical science to
which legislation must be directed
much more seriously than has yet
been done was brought before the
congress of medicine recently held at
Madrid. DR.. Brouardel, of Paris,
spoke strongly of the dangers arising
from the addition of antiseptics to
wine, beer, cider, milk, syrups, butter,
fish, preserved fruits and other COM
modities which are in daily use as
food. 1t is well known that salicylic
acid, salicylate Of soda, sulphites,
borax, boric acid, formalin and va
riety of other chemicals are employed
to make the substance in question
keep" the pretence being that they
are used in such small quantities as
to be lnnocuous. To this allegation
DR.. Brouardel opposed two indisputa-
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-04-01

The two nations credited with the
invention Of the alphabet are the
Phoenicians and the Persians. But
it is not usually conceded that the
two are entitled to anything like equal
credit. The Persians, probably in the
time of Cyrus the Great, used certain
characters of the Babylonian script
for the construction of an alphabet;
but at this time the Phoenician alpha
bet had undoubtedly been in use for
some centuries, and it is more than
probable that the Persian borrowed
his idea of an alphabet from a PhOe-
nician source. And that, of course,
makes all the difference.
Granted the idea of an alphabet. it
requires no great reach of construct
i've genius to supply set of alphabet
ical characters; though even here, 1t
may be added parenthetically study

Long Name, Small Fish

The smallest backboned animal in
the world is fish. 1t was discovered
in Buhi, mountain lake in the island
Of Luzon, in the Philippines. The tiny
creature has two names out of all pro-
portion to it's size. The one given 1t
by the natives is sinarapan, and doubt
less has some significance in the Ian
guage of the Bicols, the natives living
in the lake region. The scientific
name is mystichthys Luzonensis, and
means the smallest fish inhabiting Luz
ION.
The largest of the species measures
but half an inch in length, and the
smallest not more than one-fifth of an
inch. It would take about 5000 of
them to weigh pound. Fortunately
for the fishmonger Of Luzon, the
sinarapan is not sold by the dozen, or
even by the hundred. They are meas
ured by the quart.
Small as the fish is, 1t forms an i'm
portant food staple, even in country

BILE facts, determined by analysis and
eXperience-first, that the preserva-
tives employed are used in far larger
quantities than the users admit, and,
secondly, that the continued consump-
ton of alimentary substances con-
tanning these antiseptic materials,
even in very small proportions, be-
comes gravely detrimental to the hui
man organism, amounting in the long
run to slow poisoning. Mans consti-
tuition has not been made for the daily
elimination of minute doses of poison.
In this insidious form of mischief may
lie some of the blame for our phys
ical degeneracy. Apparently the evil
is of such sort than international
measures may be necessary to check
it. Treatment of food in this manner
should not be called adulteration, but
poisoning pure and simple.

Brokers of Wall Street

Wall street brokers hold themselves
a 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 of brokers. Some are big
operators supporting brokers by their
commissions. There are LOO men,
bers of the Stock Exchange, and these
represent brokerage and commission
firms whose partnerships aggregate
no less than 1,452 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 $4,000 a year.
Hence:

At $4,000 each year these brokers
clean up net about s29,OoO,O0O There
are some 500 Stock Exchange firms
which pay $3,O0O,OOO annually for the
rent of their offices. These firms en-
ploy 1000 clerks and assistants, book
keepers, runners, ETC., at an average
wage of $1,000, which makes $40 $780,
000 Thus we have in three items
alone $42,5O0,OO0 that must come out
of the pockets of customers to keep
the great machine well oiled. That is
to say, the public pays the sum of
$42,500,000 annually for the privilege
of supporting in splendid style S452
people in order that they may have
their hands at telling which way the
stock will go.-New York Press.

1t was to have good health. Every
physician consulted said | had liver
trouble, but their medicines did me no
good. Just before began using
Doan's Kidney Pills was almost par
alyzed. could hardly stand on my
feet because of the numbness and
lack Of circulation. Had knife been
thrust into my kidneys the pain could
not have been more intense. My sleep
was disturbed by visions Of distorted
figures, the kidney secretions were
annoyingly irregular and l was tor
tured with thirst and always blOated.
I used seven boxes Of Doan's Kidney
Pills. The bloating subsidized until l
weighed one hundred pounds less,
could sleep like child and was re-
lieved of the pain and the irregular
ity of the kidney action. My circula-
ton is good and feel better in every
way"
