ANCIENT snokr HAND.

Mr. William L. Curtis in recent lot
Tier to the Chicago Record Herald, says
| the British Museum has secured q
| parchment book containing the symbols
OF shorthand writing invented by Tuilius
| Trio, the private secretary of Cicero.
| The book has about $4,000 signs each
represeting word, or a combination
of words, and many of the signs, it is
claimed, are Identical with those used
by stenographers today.
According to authority quoted by Mr..
Curtis, the Egyptians We're the invent
ors of stenoglslphy. The ancient He
brews also used systems of shorthand,
no doubt in imitation of the Egyptian
methods. Psalm xiv, 2: my tongue
is the pen OF II ready writer, Is
thought to be a reference to stenograply.
Xenophon Is also quoted as saying that
Diogenes used what he called "tachy-
sraphiam, a system of authorizations
to economizo time and labor in writing,
but his manuscript was ilegible to
other persons who We're not familiar
with the signs used. The Greeks had
several systems Of shorthand, but so
far as known they were the invention
and the property of those who used
them. and were not taught in the
schools.
The statement that both the Hebrews
and the Egyptians know something of
shorthand writing may be of special
interest to students Of the Book OF
Mormon. For Nephi expressly tells us
that he wrote in the language of his
father, (which consists Of the learning
of the Jews, and the language Of the
And Mormon says: I'VE
have written this record, according to
our knowledge. in the characters which
are called among us reformed Egyp-
tian, being handed down and altered
by US, according to our manner of
speech. And If our plates had been
sufficiently large, we should have writ
ten in Hebrew"
The idea of using authorizations, or
shorthand, then, is traced to Egypt,
and there is no doubt that Lehi was
familiar with that mode of writing.
For hundreds of years Egypt was a
source of learning to all the surround
Ing countries.

VooDoo TRIAL.

& - I'D
That superstition is not all dead IN
this glorious country is proved by
story from Little Rock, Ark, telling
about q '.voodoo'' trial that ended in
suicide.
According to the dispatches. Hursh
was accused of the murder of Haywood
who lived few miles from Baxter
Drew County. Arkansas. Before the
Justice Hursch's family swore to a per-
feet abb for him. There was not q
particle of evidence of Hurshs guilt
the jury was about to bring in a verdict
of death at the hands of an I'M
known party" Then a negro Juror
said:
Judge, your Honor, sub, a man can
swear to tell the truth and lie. But
the voodoo test never tells a lie.
know when it told the truth twice and
my granmammy and her grammar
my knew when 1t often made men liars
the men are dead-when they was in
Loo siana. Judge, Your Honor, sub.
this man here's suspected OF putting Il
load of shot in Mister Haywood. No
body saw It, If you want to know #
this man put Il load of shot in Mister
Haywood, sub, bring this mans shot
gun here, load 1t and fire 1t. If he
Killed Mister Haywood, sub, the gun
will sweat blood, just as sure as the
devii Is after us alive seen it--sul,-
I've seen it.-sweat blood--it's voodoo"-:
His fellow negroes on the jury cho-
rused;
TRY him by voodoo. Judge. Your
Honor, sub. yoodoo never lies"
Inoredulous, of course, only to crafty
his jurors Justice Lewis said to the
deputy sheriff:
Go ahead. Tom"
Biggs found that Hursh's shotgun
was loaded. He fired it in the air;
then, with it at his shoulder still. turn
ed its muzzle toward Hursh.
| Its barrel glistened but on the very
top OF the inuzzie hecks of rust shone
red in the sunlight.
1T leaks blood" he yelled in I'M
earthly tone. He dashed Into log
chicken house, whipped out his knife
and cut his throat.
1t is evident that in regions where
such tragedies are possible the imme-
diate need is of the civilizing influences
of schools and churches.

The question OF statehood was one

Utah could not have been admitted
except after its lawmakers had in

No, not to our knowledge.

VALUABLE LAND.

Eastern farmers both appreciate
more fully and know better how to
Utilize the sage brush lands than do
many of our older residents.
We recently noted that the editor o.
The Fruit Grower had lately completed
a tour of the great irrigated fruit grow
ing districts. lie spoke OF the wonder-
full land values in the West when well
developed orchards were established
He quoted land near Grand Junction,
Colorado, as worth from $1,000 to ST.,
500 an acre when in bearing orchards.
He also told OF man there who sold
his 1907 pear crop from ten acres for
$50, 500--an average of $2,e50 an acre.
Commenting on these prices he said:
when 1t is considered that the or
chards pay 20 to SO percent on q vi,l-
alton Of $4,000 an acre, ii will be seer
that the price of bearing orchards is
not SO high after all.

mentioned. The location is so favor
