Men care noth- Ing about a principle, even if they un- derstand it, unless they have emotions responding to it. When adequately strong the appropriate emotion prompts resistance to interference with individual actions, whether by an individual tyrant or by tyrant major ny; but at present in the absence of the proper emotion, there exists al. most everywhere the miserable super stition that the majority has right to dictate to the individual about every thing whatever.-By Herbert Spencer. in letter to M.

DEVICE OF VENETIAN PRINTER.
Aluus Manutius Author of System of
 Punctuation.

Punctuation by means of stops ana points, so as to indicate the mean ing of sentences and assist the reader to a proper enunciation, is ascribed originally to Aristophanes, gram marian of Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the third century B. c. What ever his system may have been, 1t was subsequently, neglected and for gotten. but was reintroduced by Charlemagne, the various stops and symbols, being designed by Warne- fried and ,Alcuin. r as,.s., a4t s
 The present system of punctuation was introduced in the latter part or the fifteenth century by Aldus Manu- titus, a Venetian printer, who was re- sponsible for our full stop. colon, semicolon, comma, marks of inter rogation and exclamation, parenthesis and dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quo tation marks. These were subsequent- ly copied by other printers. until their use became universal.
 Most ancient languages were inno- cent of any system of punctuation. In many early manuscripts the letters are placed at equal distances apart. with no connecting link between even in the matter of spacing, an arrange ment which must have rendered read ing at sight somewhat difficult.

"A Savage King"

Mexico, the land of flowers, is now absorbing the attention of us Americans, it might not be amiss to give some slight review of the wonderful race that had built up an empire, and a com positive civilization before the white man had set foot on the shores of the western world.
 The Aztecs came to Mexico a. bout the year 117O and gradual ly drove back the original inhab- itants and after their successful battles at Chapultepec, (Hill of the GraSshopper) where they con- quered the TeXcOco warriors.
 About 1925 A. D. they built the city of Mexico first named Ten ochtitlan, on or rather in Lake TeXcOcO, as almost all this val ley was originally lake and the city was built upon piles driven in the mud.
 The spot, the site of the city, was selected bV the Aztec high priest Tenoch upon beholding the promised sign of a royal eagle of extraordinary size and beau ty, balanced upon cactus with serpent in it's talons. This be- came and has ever since remain ed, the emblem of Mexico.
 This city became a rich and magnificent metropolis and the seat of the MOntezumas Nearly two centuries, after the dynasty of the MOnteZumas was finally established and their wealth en- ormous, COrtez the Spanish con querOr invaded Mexico and after a carnival of maSsarce, robbery and outrage was received by the awed MOntezumas on November Sth, 1519 an dtoOk up his resi-, dence in the palace of the Emper or

Valuable Medicine.

No family medicine chest should be without peroxide of hydrogen. This is of the greatest value in disinfecting any abrasions of the skins which may have been suffered. It destroys all germs with which it comes in contact and should be immediately applied to pin, prick or any other of the s0- called trifling hurts. As matter of fact, a pin wound is often more dan gerous than one hundred times its size. for the point may contain some deadly poison which Is injected before the prick is even noticed.

Beneficial Sneexe.

There is no more sure cure for an attack of faintness than hearty sneeze. It immediately stimulates the blood vessels of the brain. In many persons fainting never goes so far as loss of consciousness or loss of control of the limbs. And in these the sudden weakness is often brought to an end by sneeze caused by na. ture herself without any external aid. A grain or two of pepper. snufr or to. bacco introduced into the nose or tick ling it's interior lightly will usually insure sneeze. These simple proce- dures or others similar in character may prove invaluable when smelling salts and other elegant aids are ab- sent.

The Spanish Flag in Kansas.

In the northwestern part of Repub- lie county Kansas, on the site of an old Pawnee Indian village, stands a granite monument erected by the state commemorating unique incl dent in American history. Here on September 29, 1906, Gen. Zebulon Pike. leading a struggling band of American soldiers on an exploring ex- petition through the unknown coun- try beyond the Mississippi river, came upon Pawnee village in which a Spanish flag was flying. After much maneuvering and almost at the point of the bayonet Pike forced the Indians, who outnumbered his command ten to one, to haul down the Spanish nag and hoist the Stars and Stripes in its place.

Unchanqinas Laws of Etiquette.

It Is astonishing to see how little the standard of good manners seems to have changed since the middle ages.
 The strenuous life and the higher education have not altered our concep- tion of the laws of good breeding, even if they leave us little time for the carrying out of them, and the rules of conduct upon which we have all been brought up are in many respects the same to-day as those propounded in the manuals of etiquette of hundreds of years ago.-Ladies Field.
