The donjon, or keep, Of the castle
was a tower within, much stronger
than the rest Of the structure and de-
signed as last resort for the garrison
when the walls and other portions or
the fertilization had fallen into the
hands Of the enemy. The donjon was
generally provided with a secret exit
a tunnel being constructed, often many
hundreds of yards in length, leading to
some concealed outlet through which
the besieged could receive succor or, in
time of necessity, escape.

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
rhe Famous Method known as the
BOustrOphedOn,

The Famous MethOU hnONh US thS
BOustrophedOn.
About the year 450 B. c. the lOnians
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 it toward the lett. Inc
Introduction of the left to right mode
Of writing caused considerable contu-
sion for a time, and from the mixed
tystems which prevailed during the FOL
lowing century sprang the famed meth
nd known as the boustrophedOn. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin q line at the left margin
Of their parchments and run it through
TO the opposite margin and then drop
n space below and run back to the OPP
posite edge of the sheet again. In oth,
or words, the bOustrOphedOn mode OF
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right anC
from right to left. This system did moi
entirely disappear uulll dOOuU '"O '
of Christ The ancient Hebrew anc
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 II
form from the uncial to the cursive
md the system of writing was changed
in both cases so as to run from left L
right. The following quotation from
FRANKLIN illustrates the mixed, or bous
trophedon, system of writing:

Champion LIniment for Rheumatism

Chas. Drake, a mail carrier, at
Chapinville, Conn. says: "Chamber,
lain's Pain Balm is the champion OF
all liniments. The past year l was
troubled a great deal with rheumatism
in my shoulder. After trying several
cures the storekeeper here recon-
mended this remedy and it completely
cured me-" There is no use of anyone
suffering from that painful ailmeni
when this liniment can be obtained
for a small sum. One application
gives prompt relief and its continued
use for a short time will produce
permanent cure. For sale by

A wonderful Faculty of the Triton.

The triton, a spotted, lizardlilie rep

reproducing amputated parts. Bon

nerimented on the little creatures by
amputatlng their legs and tails and
bv so doing fouAd that their powers
Of reproduction were almost unlimited
In one instance an amputated leg was
REPRODUCED twelve times in three
wears and in another an eye was
rouaed out and reproduced In less
Than twelve months. The loss of tail
does not appear to discommode trl-

on were invariably reproduced In from
five to nine weeks.

TONIGHT
A Splendid Company Gives Its
Farewell at the Opera
House Tonight

In the play Of ga Western Gentle.
man. at the Grand Opera House last
night there was only one part. Mr..
Willard, with all his brililancy, was
just eclipsed, the moon got in front of
the sun for once, and captured the au-
dienee that should have been much
large. Dainty little Adelaide Har-
land just took possession Of the
gathering. When she got on the chair
and began to tell about her love, and,
well-she was not an actress she was
just a delicious bit of girlhood, with
its love, and romance and honesty and
youth and beauty and faith. There has
not been a prettier bit of acting in Sa-
lem in years--in fact never. The sup
port was all good, the singing of Mr..
Lenord magnificent, but little Adelaide
Harland carried off the cake, Marion
Dunn, as "Ethel Wayne" presented
a pretty piece of work, but the ''work
in the play" does not give her much
of chance, and, in fact, Miss Har-
land doesn't give anyone a show from
the time the curtain rises, until with
"hug me, Jack, " it goes down. Salem
people who do not see Mr.. Willard s com
pany are missing talent they may not
see again. Take the horse editors ad-
vice, and go tonight and see Mr.. Will
lard in Sir Henry Irving's great mas
terpieee, "The Bells" This closes the
company's engagement, and, while the
plays have been of the best, the pat
ronage has not been what it should
be. If Salem wants good shows it
should patronize them, and tonight it
should put up bumper house for one
of the best companies ever on the Sa-
lem stage.

Feb.-means Freeze every body, and that
man looked frozen in his ulster. 1t was

warmth that stays, the warmth that

vigorates the blood and speeds it along
through artery and vein, and really fits
men and women, boys and girls, to enjoy
cold weather and resist the attacks o.

lasting. There may be a suggestion il
