Helpina the Minister.

A Scotch preacher had in his con
gregation an old woman who was
deaf. In order to hear the sermon
each Sunday this old lady would
seat herself at the foot of the pulpit
stairs. One day the sermon was
about Jonah, and the preacher be-
came very rhetorical.
"And when the sailors threw Jo-
nah overheard" he said, "a big fish
swallowed him up. Was it a shark
that got i'm? Nay, my brethren, it
was ne'er a shark. Was it a sword
fish that eat him? Nay
"It was a whale" whispered the
old lady excitedly.

Punctuation.

In the earliest Latin Inscriptions
and manuscripts no system of pune
tuation is followed. The full point
90 was gradually introduced, being
placed on the level, middle or top
of the letters. In the minuscule
manuscripts of the eighth, ninth
and following centuries the period,
on the line or high, was first used;
then the comma and semicolon and
the inverted semicolon, whose pow
er was rather stronger than that of
the comma. Some say that the
Caroline minuscules of the ninth
century exhibit the note of interro-
CATION, for which the inverted semi
colon, which was gradually dropped.
may have furnished the mark. The
Greeks use the semicolon as an in
terrogation point. In English the
colon is said to have been intro
duced about 1885, the comma about
1901 and the semicolon about 1870.
In Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia
15S7) all the punctuation points
appear, including the note of inter
rogation, asterisk and parentheses.

ORIGIN OF LIBERTY CAP.

Liberty Cap had its origin long
before even the discovery Of this con-
tinent. 1t was first adopted by the
Romans, who placed on the heads
of manumitted slaves small red cloth
caps to indicate that they were
freedmen.
The freedman registered in the
city records to make sure that he
should never lose the liberty that
had come to him.
The Liberty Cap was probably
first introduced into the United
States in the Great Seal design Of
1776. Composed Of the national
colors, it eventually became the head
gear of Columbia, the goddess Of
American liberty.

nlEER NAV YEARS REUNION
6IN Ensllshmen, Part Of Gang Work.
ing with Explosives, Met After
Ten Years.

Trafalgar square, London Eng
land, was the scene of a quaint re-
union on New Years morning-the
outcome of a resolution formed ten
Sears ago. On January 1, 1900, II
mbn, government workers, were en-
ployed in an isolated situation on
Plumstead marshes, dealing with
dangerous explosives. The precari-
BUS nature of their work caused one
TO exclaim, 81 wonder where we
shall be in ten years time" dead,
perhaps" said a pessimist. The
men worked on in silence for some
minutes, and then one, in whose
brain the idea had been terminating,
proposed that they should all meet
on January 1, 1910, at Trafalgar
square, and have an outing in Lon
don. A secretary was appointed, but
in the years that ensued he almost
forgot the project until few
months ago, when he received a let
fer reminding him. He at once en-
tered into communication with the
other members of the old Plumstead
gang. One was dead, four were un-
able to fulfill the engagement, but
the remaining six faithfully gath
cred at Trafalgar square in the
shadow of Nelson's column, and
spent happy day together in the
city.
