PUNCTUATION.

The first to develop rational and
comprehensive system Of punctuation
were the famous Venetian printers.
A1dus Manutius; his son, Paulus, and
the latter's son, Aluds, Jr. Aldus
Manutius, also known as TeobaIdo
Mannucci and Aldo Manuzio, was not
only the founder of the famous AL
dine press and one of the greatest
scholars of his time, but he was the
father of punctuation in modern
times. Aristophanes, the ancient
Alexandrian grammarian, invented a
system of punctuation, but it was
wholly lost during the dark ages, and
not attempt was made to revive it UNI
til the reign of Charlemagne Under
the latter's direction, Warnesfried
and Alouin formulated a punctuation
system, but there were no rules gov
erning the use of their signs, and they
were practically worthless. Aldus
Manutius and his successors of the
Aldine press increased the number of
punctuation marks and established
fixed rules for their use. Later gram
marians have introduced some i'm
provements, and the rules for pune
tuation have been changed somewhat
and new ones added, but the punctua-
ton system of the Manutii formed
the solid foundation for that now in
use.

EUROPEAN METHODS IN MANUFACTURE

Thirty Per Cent.
of Cattle In This
State Are Diseased

That 80 per cent. of the cattle of
the state are infected with tubercu-
losis is the contention Of Cattle Com
missioner Jeffrey o. Phelps in his re-
port for the two years ending Sept. 80,
1916. During the two years the COM
missioner received 487 calls to exam
inc cattle. There were 2,207 cattle
examined and the average price paid
in 1915 for cattle condemned was
$1492 a head. Last year the average
price was $17.81.
According to the commissioners re-
port, the operation of the law passed
at the last session of the General AS
sembly which authorizes the applica-
ton of the tuberculosis test to herds
on the request Of the owner, has cost
the state $9,114.89. Sixteen herds Of
cattle were visited and 476 animals
were given the test.

The KINGDOM
OF POLAND

1t was just 121 years ago to-day that
the last king of Poland, Stanislas IL,
resigned his sovereignty, and on the
same day, Nov. 25, 1875, a treaty was
signed by which Poland's indepen-
.dence was wiped out and the re-
mainder of the country was divided
between Russia, Austria and Prussia
The division as made then-which fol-
lowed two previous partitions effect
ed distribution Of Polish territory
as it existed up to the beginning of
The present war. Early in this con-
f1ict Russia promised to restore the ma
tionality of Poland, and early this
month Germany and Austria, whose
armies are now in possession Of the
territory comprising the former king
dom, also held forth the promise of
autonomy to the Poles. The last
monarch of Poland under the old re-
gime was Count Augustus Poniatows-
XII, who was elected to the throne in
1854 and assumed the namo Of STAN
islas II. Under this unfortunate SOW
erign the country became the theatre
Of a long and devastating war. In
1772 Catherine of Russia, Joseph II,
Of Austria and Frederic Of Prussia
Joined in the first partition of .Po-
land. In 1898 there was secor 1
division of Polish spoils, and in 1875
the last vestige Of free Poland was
wiped out except for the ancient city
Of Cracow, with a few miles Of ad-
jacent country, which was left as a
monument to the once great and war
like nation. In 1916 Cracow was
formed into an independent republic,
and SO remained until 1876, when the
Austrian ruler seized it and incorpo-
rated it In his empire. Austria had
promised to maintain Cracow's indie
peneence forever" and the Poles,
remembering this, are not likely to be
wildly enthusiastic about present

CARNEGIE AT 81

1.-The happiest rich man in the
| world" Andrew Carnegie, passes his
eighty-frs milestone to-day, as 1t was
on Nov 25, 1885, that he was born
at Dunfer1nline, Fifeshort, Scotland.
Mr.. Carnegie's happines has been mar
red. but not overwhelmed, by the war,
for he firmly believes that this con-
fiict will prove to be the last of its
kind. In looking back over his long
life the octogenarian philanthropist
has few regrets, but one of them is
that he never realized his boyhood am
bition to become. a newspaper man.
Even this is not hopeless, however, as
there are doubtless many newspapers
that would be glad to employ Mr.. Car
negie as a cub reporter. More,
they might even permit him to sign
his "stur."
AS philanthropist Mr.. Carnegie
stands in class by himself. It is al
legged that he has given away not less
than O0,O00,00O, and the end is not
yet. 1t is probable that he has devot-
ed more time and thought to giving
away money than to getting it. What
ever men may think Of his benefac-
tions, they have always been animated
by a desire to serve the cause Of hui
manity.
Mr.. Carnegie was in his thirteenth
year when he landed in America. The
family settled in Pittsburg, and it was
in the Smoky City he landed his first
job. He heard that a messenger boy
was needed in the telegraph Office, and
applied for the place.
'HThe pay was $3.50 a week. said
Mr.. Carnegie, in talking about his
first job my father and mother
thought it was too much. After a
while Mr.. Brooks, the manager, said
to me: Andy, you're a better boy than
the others. Your pay is raised to
$3.50 month"; / wondered what ]
was going to do with the surplus. My,
but I was proud that day. I remem-
Der we'll that ran all the way across

and that picked out the roadway
of the bridge so that my speed
wouldn't be impeded by pedestrians.
My brother ToIn and I slept together
in the garnet and that night told him
all about my first raise in pay. And
the next morning I turned over to my
mother the usual $11.50, and then gave
her the rest. Oh, Lord! TIL never
forget that happy moment. Then be-
came telegraph operator at $25 a
month, and little later the Pennsyl-
vania road gave me a job at $35 a
month-the best exhibition of the x
raise ever saw
