SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
Yhe Famous Method known as the
BOustrOphedOn.

BOustrOphedOn.
About the year 400 b. {. the lonians
first introduced the system OF writing
from left to right Previous 10 that
time all scribes and pennien in general
had been in the habit OF beginning the
line on the right hand side OF the page
and running it toward the left. The
introduction of the left to right mode
Of writing caused considerable confu-
sion for a 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 line at the left margin
Of their parchments and run it through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back to the op-
er words, the boustrophedon mode OF
writing was a 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 ana
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:

Black snakes.

I have never seen black snakes over
seven feet long and much doubt II
they grow to a greater length. They
are not hard to catch, though In an
open field they can run about as fast
as a man can When caught, they
struggle desperately until they find
there is no opportunity to escape, when
they will give up fighting and may be
handled with impunity. l have never
found these snakes to be vicious. They
can be handled easily. and their bite Is
harmless. They can squeeze pretty
hard If they get turn around your
waist, but not hard enough to break a
bone.-Forest and Stream.

The Calm Spirit.

The people in all lines Of duty who
do the most work are the calmest,
most unhurried people in the COM

hurried, and therefore imperfect, do

", doing one thing at time and doing
Il we'll, and 1t therefore works swiftly.

PROSECUTION TO FOLLOW.
Complaints Issued Against Men Ac-
cuscd of Selling Bad Pork

Three complaints We're issued today
by Assistant County Attorney Willard
Hanson against II. A. Barton and Il.
NJ. Herbert, the owners Of a hog ranch
near the mouth OF Emigration canyon,
charging them with unlawfully selling
pork known to be diseased also with
throwing the carcasses of dead hogs
where the waste and drainage from
them would flow into a certain stream
and spring, the waters Of which are
used for domestic purposes and with
selling hogs known TO b. affected with
cholera.
Both the state and city food iuspec-
tors have been investigating the mat
ter and have worked M the evidence
IN the cases. They claim that the con-
dition OF things at the hog ranch was
indeed serious menace 20 the public
health. All three of the complaints
We're sworn 10 by John Peterson, state
food and dairy inspector.
I'm one II Is alleged that. ON Jan. %.
1906 the defendants sold pork knowing
1t 70 be diseased and tainted and 9TH
erwise unfit to be--eaten, The second
charge is that, on Jan 81, the defend
ants sold hogs affected with cholera
without disclosing the diseased condl.
ton OF the animals TO the purchasers.
The third complaint alleges that IN the
enrly part OF this month the defendants
deposited the carcasses Of dead hogs
where the waste and drainage from the
same would flow into a certain spring
and stream Of water OF which are used
for domestic purposes.
According to the facts ascertained
by the food inspectors II Is stated that
the men had large number OF hogs
on heir ranch and they became afflicted
with the cholera. number OF them
died Of the disease and we're thrown
In a ravine where the drainage from
them would flow into q stream Of
good water used for domestic uur-
poses The other animals were killed
or as soon as possible after the dis
ease broke out among them and were
sold and placed on the local market.
All OF which Is decidedly Injurious to
