kissina the Book.

kissing the book" is. a rather late
development Of the mere touching of
the gospels with the fingers. which
dates from the sixth century. It Is
likely that the kiss was originally in

the oath, but to signify reverence and
affection for the book. The kiss ap-
pears to have come into fashion to-
ward the end Of the sixteenth century
and would seem, from what George
Fox says Of 1t, to have been Protes-
tant innovation. According to him,
the UNIFORMED: method was simply to
hold the gospels with three fingers
above the book. typifying the Trinity.
and two fingers below, typifying the
twofold destruction Of body and soul
that an oath taker invoked upon him
self If he swore falsely.

that friend who lived at the Hotel

on the street last night. The friend
had the boy with him, saying he was
the son of Mrs. Satchell, and asked
Ball to take the child to a business
place near the Erie depot, where the
boys father would meet him. Ball
received two dollars as remunera-
ton, he says. He failed to find the
father, and then proceeded to visit
all the hotels in the hope of locating
him. Not succeeding, Ball took the
child back to the Benway hotel and
left him. It was to this hotel that

THE WORD "ALPHABET."
Il Comes Through the Greeks and H.
brews From Phoonieia.

Il Comes Through the Greeks and He
brsws From Phoenieia.
When we speak Of our A B C's as
our "alphabet' we are using q word
hoary with age, that, as far back AZ
we can trace 1t, came from the eastern
shore Of the Mediterranean sea, thou
sands Of years before the Hebrews
went up there and took possession OF
the land Of Canaan. Back Of the PEG
pie who occupied that land before the
events Of Exodus were written We are
not able to trace the word, for. We
have not sufficient knowledge Of them
or Of their genealogical history before
we find them In Canaan.
It has been only within recent years
that we have been able to know that
the word ''alphabet:' came to us from
the Phoenicians. Before that we sup
posed that 1t came to us from the He
brews, through the Greek. Al We say
"A B c. the Greeks say alpha beta"
(the first two letters Of their, a1phabet),
which when it reached NJ became al
phabet" This We supposed had come
" tuc OIccK0 4EOu S0o 0SOXS"0s WIN
called their first two letters ''alph" and
''beth," but since then we have found
that both the Greeks and the Hebrews
got the word alphabet" from the same
source, which was the Phoenicians.
The people Of Phoenicia had the
same letters, "alph" and beth" which
have suffered but little change In
sound down to our A and B. Alph
meant simply an OK, the sign Of It
being a conventional ox's head, with
the lower part Of the face turned
slightly to it's right, and beth meant
house, which was pictured by the rude
outline of primitive dwelling, which
had superduous line added to dis
tinguish it from other characters very
like it, as we place tail on a @ to
distinguish It from an o. So the first
two letters of our A B c. were orig
finally an OK and house and gave
the name Of all Of the twenty-s let
tiers which we call our "alphabet."-

TRIED TO Be NICE Ct:

But Fannie Msds an Awful Mess of Il
? .sn With the Old Lady. H. " NJ
"When Fannie is bent upon pleasing"
sighed Fannie's younger sister; ''she
can certainly make horrible mess of
things. Last Sunday Charlie Evans,
having arrived at the point where he
felt he wanted his family's opinion Of
me, invited us both up to take tea
with his mother. The minute ! laid
eyes on his mother l knew Fannie
would get in trouble-she simply can't
help getting nervous.y foolish when
there's religious person around.
CHARLES mother kissed us and, ad-
dressing herself to Fannie as the elder.
said something about our being very
sweet to come and see a daughterless
old woman. Whereat Fannie looked
at Charlie and his two brothers and
replied feelingly that it must be ter
rible disappointment to have only
them. Mrs. Evans, to rectify my SIS
ter's Misrepresentation, told us proudly
that she had three more sons, not pres
ent.
by this time Fannie realized that
she had made bad beginning and
leaped further in with the superstition
that the other three were off having a
good time instead Of moping at home.
The older lady drew herself up and
said severely:
my three sons are in heaven, Miss
Barnes
"'Oh, how awfulv came Fannie's
ready gasp.
"'No, not awful at allr and Mrs.
Evans was positively glazing at us. 4
feel that they were specially blessed
in being allowed to pass thus early to
their Lord. They died as little chill
dren.'
"'Dear me, how glad you must have
ieenv blurted out fustered Fannie.
by this time had kicked hole in
her ankle, and that quieted her for
awhile. She might have kept still for
the rest of the evening had not her pet
subject, the higher education Of wo-
man, come up for the old lady's disap-
prevail. Then Fannie made q hand
spring into the conversation by re-
marking that when we had more edu-
Gated mothers there would be less in
FAINT mortality.

trying to be nice for my sake."-New

TEACH THE CHILDREN TO SWIM.

This is sensible and timely advice,
and should be more generally needed
than it Is. Swimming is one Of the
most important accomplishments for
girls or boys and should be as con-
stantly taught as reading or writing.
In some foreign countries swimming
is part of the training Of the chill
dren and they enjoy the sport and the
assurance of it. Here in America,
learning to swim, until quite recently,
was a go-as-y please boys sport,
and if the boy didn't get drowned be-
fore he had learned how to swim 1t
was a wonder. The boys summer
camps and the Y. NJ. c. A. camps Of
late years have had competent in
structors, and the art Of swimming
has been taught for years in city ma
tatoriums; but the proportion of
American boys and girls who know
how to swim is very small and should
be largely increased. To have chill
dren taught by competent instructors
how to swim is most important.
Swimming is easily acquired and to
be once a swimmer is to be always a
swimmer.

The fact that a Nebraskan should

how Connecticut could go west and

acre Of corn, but how golf cham
pion ever built himself up on the from

News sayRi IF 1t had been target
shooting, or bronco busting, or steer
roping, or corn husking, we could cas-
lily understand But golf! Why, it was
only the other day that a man was
lynched In Iowa for wearing golf
socks. In Kansas, we hear, a person
whackIng at ball on hillside near
q railroad Ii a mark for bullets from
svery passing train; and in Dakota,

Iaanings toward the game are often
ridden out of town on rail as sus-

man from the heart Of that wild re-
zion, and puts it all over the eastern

We are too apt to overestimate the

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
No Improvement.

AS a voice from the grave come
these words of Governor Lilley's in
augural, the voice Of a prudent and
successful business man warning the
commonwealth which had elected him
which must be done and other certain
things which must not be done:
Never before was there more urgent
need Of watchfulness that we do not
as a commonwealth form habits of
treasury warns us. We must give to
the financial branch of our admins
tration the same devotion that we do
to our private business. We are trus-
tees. and however easy we may find it
to forget the fact, the constituents who
have given us their trust will not.
Have these words been needed? No
body knows how near this legislature
is to its finish, but II spending money
were all 1t had to do. it might very
properly cease now and fear no charge
that 1t had not done enough. There
are, passed or pending. with a good
prospect of passage, bills calling for
nearly $2,000,0o0. Some of these APP
preparations are provided for in the
100000 bond issue which the state
has voted. Others might be, with care
full management. But at best there
would be half a million overrun; at
the worst there will be nearer two
millions. Some of the purposes for
which the money is asked are good
and necessary ones. The trouble Is,
however, that so many unwise ones
have been worked in that the good
