FIRST WOMAN'S JOURNAL.
Owed Its Origin to the Divorce Of Jose
phine Hundred Years Ago.

1t is just a hundred years since
women first started newspaper to
advocate their rights. In lSOS it was
known that Napoleon was determined
to divorce Josephine, his partner of
fourteen years. because she had
given him no heir. A reason of state
like this carried no weight in the fe-
male world, and outside the circle of
courtiers all sympathy was with the
wife, especially when Eugene Dc
Beauharrais, Josephine's son by her
first marriage, declared himself in
the senate on the side of his step
father and against his own mother
on the question of divorce.
From the feeling thus stirred up
there arose great feminist move
ment. Seeing that popular opinion
favored the helpless wife as against
the all powerful husband, group of
young women philosophers thought
the time had come for an effort for
the social progress of their sex.
Their first step was to create an
organ for feminist. defense, and SO
the AHenee des Dunes was born and
at first flourished vigorously.

several days. The initiatory rites be-

greatest pyramidal sanctuary. Here
the high priest retired alone to small
temple, whose doorway opened toward
the east, and as the rising sun crimson
ed and purpled the serrated mountains
he knelt and sprinkled thickly upon
the marble floor the sacred meal.

The Jewish New Year.

In striking opposition to the spirit OF
JOY and happiness which peryades
Christendom generally is the New
Year Of the Jews. With the Jews,
who also observe the New Year for
two days, the days are not days Of
feastlng and enjoyment. but days OF
Judgment. According to the belief OF
every orthodox Jew, every member OF
the Jewish race is tried on the New
Year. The books kept in heaven are
opened on that day. The record Of each
man for the year just ending Is looked
through and taken under advisement
for ten days. On the tenth day, the
day of atonement, the fate Of each
man for the coming year is drawn up.
whether he should live or die, prosper
or be poor. On the day of atonement
the fate IS sealed and nothing can
change 1t any more.-Chicago Tribune.

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famous Method Known as the bous-
trophedon.

i. Luu.e Republic
about the wear 100 i. c. the
Ionians first introduced the system
OF writing from left to right. Prey
iouS to that time all scribrS and pen
men in general had been in the habit
of beginning the line on the rlght
hand side OF the page and running 1t
toward the left. the Introduction oi
the left to right mode of writing
caused considerable confusion for Il
time. and from the mixed systems
which prevailed during the follow
ing century sprang the famed meth
cd known as the bOustrOphedOn.
Those who used the system last
mentioned would begin a line at the
left margin of their parchments and
run it through to the opposite mar
gin and then dropa space below and
run back to the opposite edge OF the
sheet again. In other words, the
boustrophedon mode of writing was
Il system in which the lines ran
alternately from left to right and
from right to left. This system did
not entirely disappear until the time
Of Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages We're written from
right to left. but at about the time
the lonians were reforming writing
methods the Greek letters Were
changed in form from the uncial tC
the cursive. and the system of writ
ing was changed in both cases so as
to run from left to right. The fol
lowing quotation from Franklin il
lustrates the mixed, or bOuStrophe
don, system of writing:

SHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Made and Why They
Are So Cheap.

London Express.
Three million separate shoe nails
are often cast from one ton of metal
OF the smaller sizes 1000 nails are
nodded in single mold, and an ex-
pert workman will make eighty molds
in an ordinary working day, thus
turning out 100, 900 separate nails.
When the metal in a liquid state is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
moldlng process; the whole of the
nails are cast together and are.
when removed from the sand, con-
nected by network of iron one with
another. In this condition the iron
is rs brittle as glass, and very little
force is required to separated the
nails from the network which holds
them together.
They then have to undergo the
process known as annealing. They
are mixed up with hematite iron ore,
which is in powdered state, put in
to iro2 pots, and placed in an anneal-
ing furnace. sort of kiln. Here
they remain for some days, care be-
ing taken to so regulate the heat
to which they are subjected SO that
the iron will not be remelted, but
brought very nearly to that condi-
tion. The action of the raw iron ore
upon the brittle casting is marvellous.
After cooling, it can be bent without
risk of breaking, and il becomes n
useful and Serviceable article.
