sites shipped under cold storage to this
country, and they are now being dis
tributed In the sections infested with

has come to light recently in Engle-
wood. Chicago suburb. where thirty

traced to the milk of a dairyman who
supplied their wants along this line.

was to wash the milk cans. and who
was found to be typhoid carrier, as
a result of an attack Of the disease
three years before.

PUNCTUATION.
The Modern System Was introduced

The Modern System Was introduced
by AIdus Manutius.
Punctuation by means of stops or
points, SO as to Indicate the meaning
of sentences and assist the reader to a
proper enunciation, is ascrlbed orlgi
nally to Aristophanes. an Alexandrian
grammarian, who lived in the third
century b. C. Whatever his system
may have been, 1t was subsequently
neglected and forgotten, but was rein
troduced by Charlemagne, the various
stops and symbols being designed by
Warnefrlcd and Alcuin.
The present system of punctuation
was introduced in the latter part of the
fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius,
Venetian printer, who was responsible
for our period, colon, sehcolon, com.
ina, marks of Interrogation and excla-
nation. parenthesis and dash, hyphen,
apostrophe and quotation marks. These
were subsequently copied by other
printers until their use became univer-
sal
Most ancient languages were inno-
cent Of any system Of punctuation. We
find In many early manuscripts that
the letters are placed at equal distances
apart, with no connecting link between
even In the matter of spacing, an ar.
rungement which must have rendered
reading at sight somewhat difficult.

Get Them to Break Them.
1t Is the duty of each loyal British

Every person." the act reads, shall,
by himself or others, cut. break or de.
face such coin rendered to him In pay.
ment and the person rendering the
same shall bear the loss"
But in spite of this act 1t Is Il risky
business interfering with coins which
you may suspect 10 be under weight
or spurious. Some months ago Grims
by woman offered half sovereign In
payment of goods to a local shopkeep-
er. The latter put the coin il test
Ing machine and, as It broke in two,
refused to take It,
The coin, however. was pronounced
by experts to be perfectly genuine,

court Of law the shopkeeper was order

Money, both gold and silver, wears
out at startling rate 1t Is reckoned
that there Is usually f100,000000 In
gold coin in England, very large pro-
portion Of which Is locked In the strong

IN active circulation the wastage Is so
great that during every twelve months

rubbed off into fne dust.-Pearson's

MANY Kinds of Knives.

An extraordinary thing about the
cutlery trade is the variety Of knives
made. At the Suffolk works in Shelf
field, for instance. they have 10000 diff
ferent patterns on the books. They
make sometimes 5000 patterns to or.
der at one time. The same thing is
true Of the large cutlery works at So
lIngen, In Germany. One firm has 1900
patterns for Germany alone. New ones
are constantly coming out. The Suf-
folk works have averaged ten new pat
terms a week for two years This Is q
trade that will not be standardized,
which is one reason why America has
failed hitherto to compete.-CasSier's

FOLLOWED THE DIAGRAM.
The Motorear Tourists Rewarded The
Man Who Drew II.

Man Who Drew IL.
An amusing practical joke which
was played by Canadian farmer on
a party of motorcar tourists Is describ-
ed In Suburban Life. The farmer had
drawn a diagram to show the automo-
bilists how to proceed through the lit
tie known country.
"For FIVE miles," writes the author
of the article, I'VE followed the coun.
tryman's diagram and then came to
O piece Of road which was atrocious.
We climbed over stumps and In and out
Of ruts and gulleys. Grass grew In the
middle of this road showing how lit
tie 1t was used. At last we saw ahead
little house just at the edge Of the
woods. We felt sure we were off the
right road and decided to make In
quiries at the house.
Great was our surprise upon drawing
up in front of the house to find our
countryman, his wife and several chill
, dren out in the middle of the road to
meet us. They all looked at the car
with wondering eyes, and the smallest
child hung to her mothers skirts and
howled with fright. The other chill
dren fled to the house and peeked out
Of the window.
"Our friend the countryman said:
We'll, most run my horse to death to
get here before you did. wanted the
kids to be sure and see this critter,
They never saw one before. I'm much
obliged to you, and now II you want
the right road you'll have to pull back
two miles to the road where you turn
ed In and go straight nhead! "
