SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famous Method Known as the
BOustrOphedO

zne FAMOUS Method known an the
Boustrophedon.
About the year 400 B. G. the Ionians
first introduced the system of writing
from left to right. Previous to that
time all scribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running 1t toward the left The
Introduction of the left to right mode
OF writing caused considerable confu-
sion for time. and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol-
lowing century sprang the famed meth
cd known as the boustrophedon. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin a line at the left margin
Of their parchments and run 1t through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back to the OPP
posite edge of the sheet again. In 9TH
er words, the boustrophedon mode Of
writing was system In which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
Of Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages were written from
right to left, but at about the time the
Ionians were reforming writing meth
DDS the Greek letters were changed In
form from the uncial to the cursive.
and the system Of writing was changed
IN both cases so as to run from left to
right The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates the mixed, or bous-
trophedon, system of writing:

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family

pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine

SAVED THE LANDS.


HOW De COsmus' Great speech Hap
pened to BE Delivered.
The longest speech on record is be-
lieved to have been that made by Mr..
de Cosmus In the legislature of British
Columbia when a measure was pend
ing the passage of which would have
taken from great many settlers their
lands. De Cosmus was In a minority.
The measure had been held back till
the eve of the close of the season or
session. Unless action was taken be-
fore noon of a given day the act would
fail De Cosmus got the floor at 10
a. m. and began a speech against the
bill. Its friends supposed he would be
done by l o'clock. At o'clock he was
saying, 'In the second place." At
he produced fearful bundle of evi-
dence and insisted on reading it.
Then the truth dawned. He was GO
ing to speak till noon the next day and
kill the bill. Then they made merry
over it and tried to shout him down,
but that gave him time and breathing
space. They finally settled down to
watch the combat between the strength
of will and weakness Of body. They
gave no mercy, no time for dinner or
wetting lips with water and no sitting
down. Members went to dine and
sleep in squads, but De Cosmus went
on. Day dawned.
The speaker was alternately doing
and trying to look wide awake. At
last noon came, and single man was
triumphant Although his voice had
sunk to husky whisper, his eyes were
bleared and bloodshot, his legs tottered
under him, his baked lips were cracked
and smeared with blood, De Cosmus
had spoken for twenty-six hours and
saved the lands.

CLIMBING ELEPHANTS.


bow They Mako Their Way Up and
Down Steep Cliffs.
Elephants are able to make their
through country Of steep cliffs, where
mules would not dare to venture and
even where men find passage difficult.
Their tracks have been found upon the
very summit of mountains over 1000
feet high. In these Journeys an ele-
plant Is often compelled to descend
bills and mountain sides which are al
most PERCEPTIONS. This Is the way In
which 1t is done: The elephants first
naneuver is to kneel down close to the
declfvity. One fore leg is then eau
dously passed over the edge and a
short way down the slope, and If he
finds there is no good spot for a firm
foothold he speedily forms one by
stamping into the soil If 1t is moist or
kicking out a footing If it Is dry.
When he is sure Of good foothold. the
other fore leg Is brought down In the
same way. Then he performs the same
work over again with his feet, bring
ing both fore legs a little in advance
Of the first foothold This leaves good
places all ready made for the hind feet.
Now, bracing himself up by his huge,
strong fore legs, he draws his hind legs.
first one and then the other, carefully
over the edge, where they occupy the
first places made by the fore feet. This
Is the way the huge animal proceeds
all the way down, zigzag, kneeling ev-
cry time with the two hind legs while
he makes footholds with his fore feet.
Thus the center Of gravity is preserved
and the huge beast prevented from top

the Great whirlpool
Off the coast of Norway, between
two islands Of the Lofoden group, is
the largest whirlpool in the world Its
name, Maelstrom, means "whirling
stream" and the title Is we'll earned.
The great Maelstrom is no longer
held in superstltious fear, and mari
time charts have taught the sailors Of
the world where the danger lies and
how to avoid it, 50 that accidents rare
ly occur-never except through igno-
rance or previous disaster that has
rendered vessel unmanageable.
Several years ago the captain of a
sailing vessel DESTROYS of seeing the
famous whirlpool at close quarters,
was assured by his Norwegian pilot
that he might venture near enough for
examination without danger And here
is what the captain saw:
Il went on the main topsail yard
with 4 good glass. | had been seated
but few minutes when my ship en-
tered the dish OF the whirlpool. The
velocity of the water altered her
course three points toward the center.
This alarmed nle extremely for a mo-
ment. | thought destruction was in
evitaDle. But she answered her helm
nobly, and we ran along the edge, the
waters foaming round us in every
form.
THE sensations l experienced are
n "a lln l,,an
mense circle running round of diam
eter of one and half miles, the veloc-
ity increasing as it Appropriated the
center and gradually changing Its dark
blue color to white, foaming, tumbling,
rushing to its vortex, very much con-
cave-as much so as the water In q
funnel when half run out The noise,
too, kissing, roaring, dashing, all press
ing on the mind at once, presented the
most awful, grand and solemn sight /
ever beheld We were near 1t about
eighteen minutes and in sight of it two
hours. 1t is evidently a subterranean
passage. From its magnitude l should
not doubt that instant destruction
would be the fate of dozen of our
largest ships were they drawn In at
the same moment. The pilot says that
several vessels that had become I'M
manageable have been sucked down
and that whales have also been de-
strOyed."

INSURANCE.
The Beginnings of This Now Comme
Mode of Protection.

The Beginnings of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.
The practice of insurance was known
to the ancients, being In vogue at the
beginning Of the Christian era.
The Insurance of ships was undoubt-
eddy part Of the business of the Hanse-
attic league, which was formed about
lao by the port towns of Germany to
protect themselves against the pirates
Of Sweden and Denmark
The custom of drawing out insurance
policies originated In Florence in 1923.
although a regular chamber of insur-
ance was formed at Bruges early in the
fourteenth century, and the practice
was In general use In Italy in 1894 and
in England In 1860.
Fire and life insurance Is of much
more recent origin. Some of the an
Gent guilds provided compensation for
any Of their members who suffered loss
from fire, but the Insurance of goods
and houses as distinct branch of bust
ness cannot be traced farther back
than 1867. the year after the great fire
Of London.
The first regular company, the Hand
INLAND, was founded in 1896, and five
other companies still existing were
started in the quarter of century
which followed. Life insurance was
first undertaken by the Amicable in
1706.-London Standard.

Animals That Do Not Grow Thirsty.
There are many different kinds of an

Many reptiles -serpents, lizards and

an ounce of seed for separation is plac-

Agriculturist asked farmers to state
what implements they most needed on

100 farmers who sent replies to the
question said they wanted a manure
spreader. Either they had none, or,
having an old one and recognizing its
value in labor saving and profit max

point about this particular implement
is that the demand for it, as shown in
