The letter V may be regarded as the
mutilated remains of one of 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. represen-
tation Of which stood for V. The
priests ultimately found that for the
practical purposes OF everyday life it
was a waste of time to use elaborate
hieroglyphics and invented kind Of
shorthand to meet the occasion. In
this the snake was reduced to V with
a dash " to represent horns and
body.
The Phrnicians 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 in Egypt and Is
probably the one mentioned in Genesis

Noltaire's library of about 1,uuO vol
umCs is now Il part IF the Russian i'm
prriaI library in the Hermitage palace.
and in the hail devoted to ii is lloG-
do statue OF Noltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase of
DiderotS library is interesting. 1t is

ity. Diderut named tl1,uOO as the
price cI his library. Catherine IL. Of
fercd him tl6,U00 and named as IL con-
dition of the bargain that her purchase
should remain with Didcrot until his
death Thus Diderot. without leaving
Paris. became GATHERINGS librarian in
his own library. AS her librarian he
was given yearly salary of fl.O0O.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her H.
brary suffer through the negligence Of
a treasurer's clerk and that she should
send him the sum that she had set
aside for the care and increase of her
library for fifty years. At the end Of
that period she would make new ar

ten come across strange peculiarities OF
dress. especially among the females In

little village Of Champery. which ncs-
ties almost under the frowning Dent
du Midi. the women dress like men and
may often be seen in the fields. Nat
urally they are objects of much inter
est to tourists. but the women do not
seem to be at all uncomfortably con-
scionS of the popularity Of their garb.
The peasants of Champery are sim
pie, kindly folk. and doubtless find this
novel dress more accommodating to the

All the early fox hunting clubs had

them. and good dogs they were. not
