Ale-Conner Still Exists.
tho Iondon Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The office of the ale-conner still exists
at DaIton-in- FurneSs. During the fair
held in the town every October juries are
APPOINTED for various purposes at the
residence of the lord of the manor, and
from among the jurymen two are select
ed as ale-conners. They are bound to
visit all the public houses in Dalton and
taste the various beers sold on draught,
the omission to visit any house being met
with a fine. At the end of their inspec-
tiOn the ale-conners make a report. and
the publicans having the best ale are
decorated with a red ribbon. 1t is said
that this custom dates from the time
when F'urnesS Abbey was supplied with
ala from Dalton This was tasted at
regular intervals by specially appointed
ale-conners, so as to insure supply
of good liquor for the lord abbot and his
monks.

one entire system of languages, so the
alnhahefarian had discovered in the di-

alphabetarian had discovered in the di-
versity Of alphabets an original proto-
type of all. In Prof. Petrie's words, 1.-The
Phoenicians are people Of yesterday COM
pared with those who wrote the signs
that are the origin OF all alphabets.
1t was to pottery, said the professor
that Egyptologists and others were in
debted for these signs, and their develop
ment was worked out on these lines
Flatnose made pot and put mark on
it to show that it was his. In time, be-
cause it was his mark, the sign stood for
Flatnose himself, and then the sign be-
came attached to sound irrespective OF
the thing itself. Gradually the wearing
down went on until the sign stood. not
fer a sound, but a syllable, and then for
letter
The signs, of course, were not an alpha
bet: that did not arrive until perhaps
1000 b. c., whereas signs were found
in early pheristoric Egypt, probably 100o
&. c. Proofs of this common origin were
plentiful, for the signs spread by trade
far north and south. and appeared SIM
ilarly in Runic, Iberian and Karian, and
yet We're unknown in Phoenician.

Origin of the Alphabet.

From the Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
In a lecture at the Royal Institute Prof
Flinders Petrie has attacked the long
accepted theory that the origin of the
alphabet is to be found in Phoenicia,
whence it came from Egyptian hero
glyphicS.
According to Prof Petrie the re-
searches of the last twenty years have
shown that signs were earlier than pic
lures and that it was the sign that sur
vived to become the alpha and beta OF
one civilization and the A, B. c of another.
Just as the philologist had discovered

Lincoln's Letters.
Charles Eliot Norton in Atlantic Monthly.

Charles Eliot Norton in Atlantic Monthly.
Lincoln rises with each new effort, and
his letters are successive victories. In
deed, the series of his letters since and
including the one to the Albany commit
tee are, as he says to Gen. Grant of
Vicksburg. ''of almost inestimable value
to the country" for they are of the
rarest class of political documents. argu-
ments seriously addressed by one I'm
power to the conscience and reason OF
the citizens of the commonwealth. They
are of the more value to us as perma-
nent precedents-examples of the posi-
bility of the co-eXistence Of a strong gov
eminent with entire and immediate de-
pendence upon and direct appeal TO the
people. There is in them the clearest
tone of uprightness Of character. purity
of intention and goodness Of heart.

Yesterday the Heaviest Day.

The heaviest day for incoming mail this
year was yesterday, and yesterdays out
going mail was also the heaviest for any
single day. One year ago the heaviest
day for incoming and outgoing mail was
December %. as shown by the records of
the superintendent Office. In spite Of
this fact. however, the mail has been
handled SO as to place in the hands of
every intended recipient the letters or
parcels received at the Washington Office
up to noon today.
Christmas post cards. however, have not
Jared SO well. Following last year
precedent, the cards have been sorted by
themselves and reserved for later deliv-
cry, only letters and parcels being made
a part of the rush mail. AS a result. an
accumulation Of close to 10000 Christ
mas post cards remain in the city office
to be delivered. These cards, the post
master says, will not be disposed of, in
ali probability, before tomorrow after
noon.

than has the Washington post Office. OF
course. there may have been offices where
the mail has been handled equally as well.
but l will take it upon myself to say that
nobody-nO post office-has bettered the
work that has been done in Washington.
Last years system, improved upon slight
ly at points where experience showed i'm
provement to be possible, and the loyal,
interested cooperation of every employee
of the city post office, has made this pos
sible. At noon today no letter mail and
no packages remain in the city office eX-

Postmaster Merritt and his assistants

on having established a record this

The plan adopted last Christmas has
been followed this year Letters and
packages have been given the prefer

pouches, rushed in any sort of vehicle
to the particular squares in which each
pouch belonged, and distributed from
central point on the square. The con-
tents of the pouches were dumped on
large mats laid on the pavement; car
riers sorted over the contents, different
men taking the odd and even num-
bered sides of the street, and very
frequently within a couple of hours
after letters or parcels were received
