origin of the Letter v.

The letter v may be regarded as the
mutilated remains Of one of the SYM
bols used by the ancient Egyptians In
their hieroglyphics or picture writing.
A common animal In their country was
the two horned sandviper, a represen-
tat1on Of which stood for v. The priests
ultimately, found that for the practical
purposes of everyday life it was a
waste Of time to use elaborate hero
gHphics and invented a kind Of short
hand to meet the occasion. In this the
snake was reduced to V with a dash
w. to represent horns and body.
The Phoenicians adopted this letter.
and from them we get our v by loss Of
the dash, leaving only the two little
horns Of the original picture. This
snake Is still common In Egypt and is
probably the one mentioned In Genesis
Xix, IL, dan shall be serpent by the
way, an adder In the path, that biteth
the horse heels, so that his rider shall
fall backward" Travellers tell Us that
It Is still addicted to this unpleasant

A Queer Fish,

trious fish matches its young II its

In the sand the male approaches and
draws the eggs into his gills, where
they remain until Matched, when they
struggle out Of their confinement into
the parents mouth. As many AZ 200

the mouth of an adult male. How the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing its young Is mystery. The

back is olive green, shot with blue, and
the belly is silver white, marked with

Music of the Church,

Nothing is palmer than the seemingly
hopeless decadence Of the music Of the
church as compared with modern pos
sibilities and realities Of musical art to-
day. It Is now some 200 years since
the spirit Of music left the church
since the church could hold and spir-
itually feed a great composer az It had
done in the preceding centuries. The
spirit Of music, emancipated from the
materialistic and puritanical influences
which overlook established religion,
brought forth the great modern art of
music, with Beethoven as its leader.
says Musical America. What has hap
pened to that art at the hands Of com
posers less lofty and less spiritually
minded than he the world knows only
too well, especially Of late. The d.
vorce has become almost complete.
Not only has music, In its greatest pow
ers, forsaken the forms Of the church;
latterly It has departed from spiritual
vision and aspiration within its own
artistic province.

Kings and Shaving.

The classic case Of king who knew
better than to let anybody else shave
him is that Of Dionysius the elder, V-
rant Of Syracuse, who appears to have
been unable to shave himself, for he
Is said to have resorted to the un-
comfortable device Of smuggling on his
beard with hot walnut shells, says the
London Chronicle We may suspect
that Napoleon's was another case Of
the kind Rogers asked TaIleyrand
whether Napoleon shaved himself
"Yes," replied Talleyrand; zone born to
be king has some one to shave him.
but they who acquire kingdoms shave
themselves" That way Of putting it
pleasantly emphasizes the practical su-
periority of the parvenu to the help
less, spoiled child Of heredity, but pru-
dence probably entered into the mat
ter also, If Taileyrand's statsnasat wss
correct.

TIE DANGER OF SAYING I HAVE
A COLD.
33OO,So State Street
Phode Douglas 3617

IGNORANCE has been the cause of the
erroneous use of the word as it is
used in the effort to diagnose the dis
ease manifestation most frequently rec
ognized. 1t is wrong to say cit is a
cold.' because what is called a cold
is an infection due to disease produc-
ing micro-organisms. To call such a
condition a cold is to put the blame on
Nature where it does not belong.
Such statement is misleading also be-
cause it leads to the do nothing policy
which is responsible for most of the
suffering that we needlessly endure.
WHY not be honest with ourselves and
saw have transgressed the LAW OF
NATURE and I have become poisoned
for my transgression. Such brave
admission of error would lead to honest
and efficient ACTION.
What is commonly called a cold is
an Inflammation brought on by an IT.
ritant of some kind. The irritant is
usually disease producing germs OF
their poisonous products. If we obey
Nature, we will be able to successfully
protect ourselves from the rapacity of
the almost ommipresent germs but if
we forget that eternal vigilance is the
price of success, the germs will be vic
torious.
To say I have a cold is an attempt
to dodge responsibility. 1t can only
be an attempt, for Nature will not and
cannot be deceived. To attempt to
cheat Nature is to invite disease, dis
aster, death. Fortunately nature will
not be party to erasion. We cannot
f1atter, bride or bluff Nature. Nature
demands its "pound of flesh" and is
in position to take it without spilling
the smallest amount of blood in excess
of what belongs in the bargain.

Victoria, B. C.-Edward P. Price does
not wear medals in recognition of a
worlds record tramp, neither Is he the
author Of any travels by Foot tales
not yet-but he has made something
Of q record for stamina and Is now
hopelessly q victim to a relentless de-
dire to walk every highway which may
be casually named in his presence. He
has walked from Chicago to San Fran
cisco In a roundabout way, a distance
Of 3,400 miles. He does not claim that
there is anything remarkable about
that fact alone, but the circumstances
Of the trip make a good story.
The first consideration is the fact
that Mr.. Price at the beginning OF his
tramp was a tenderfoot.
The Price party, for he did not trav-
el alone, was essentially a tenderfoot
group. Perhaps the most experienced
member was Bunny, a donkey whose
eight years had at least taught him
caution. Another member was a collie
dog named Prince, which is now much
more than mere dog to Mr.. Price, and
another thing which does not appear
In the log of the journey, but upon
which he admits the successful con-
clusion of the undertaking largely de-
pended, was the taunts Of Prices
friends in Chicago.
Price left Chicago in midsummer,
1874, travelling westward along the
Lincoln highway. The tramp was the
result Of wager and was to be made
entirely on foot with the consideration
that the conditions would not be full
nlled unless the journey was finished
with both OF his four footed compan-
Ions. He insists without a blush that
every inch of the journey was on foot.
The certified statements Of the may
ors of the various cities along the
route form the credentials.
Starting without money, the commits
sariat was provided entirely by a gun
and fishing tackle and the proceeds
nom singing at the show houses along
me way. The camp equipment, in
Guiding provisions, amounted to 100
pounds, and this was Bunny's burden.
