EVOLUTION OF THE ALPHABET
II Grew From Pictures BY Which Men
First Wrote and Required Ages
For its Completion.

No one really knows MI about where
the alphabet came from, because II
grew very slowly, like children and
every other good thing in the world
But we know quite well that no in
genious man sat down and made the
alphabet, and we know quite well. too
that the alphabet began as pictures.
Just as child reads or takes things
In by pictures long before it can read
letters, SO men used to read and write
by pictures; and then these pictures
were gradually made simpler and slim
pier until Mt last they could be used
In every and any way, as our letters
can. We know that the letter o was
ut first the picture of an eye, and that
gradually men made the picture plain
err, until at last they drew an Q. The
letter l was once picture of house ;
and very likely a capital A may have
been ut first the picture of a pyramid.
Ages and ages ago In Egypt men
used both kinds Of writing, says the
Kansas City Star. The priests used
the oldest kind, which was the pic
lures. This was called the sacred
writing, In which the pictures were
turned into letters. Not very many
years ago men tried In vain to read
| the old sacred picture writing OF the
Egyptians, but they could not. Then
they found the wonderful Rosetta
stone, and this had written upon II
the same thing three times-once II
| the pictures ind once In the letters
and also once in other letters, and sc
men got the key to picture writing
and now 1t ean be read easily.

Be Quiet.

"Study to be quiet'-that is, study
20 dismiss all hustle and worry cut of
your inward life. Study also to "do
your own business" and do not try to
do the business of other people. A
great deal of "creaturely activity" is
extended in trying to do other peoples
business. 1t is often hard to ''sit still"
when we see our friends, according to
our ideas, mismanaging matters, and
making such dreadful blunders. But
the divine order, as 1t is also the best
human order as well. is for each one of
us to do our own business, and to re-
frain froti meddling with tho busI-
sess of anyone else.-Exchangs.

GIVE FIGHTERS A PREFERENCE

There are a number of things that could
be done by Federal. state and municipal auth
critics to encourage enlistments in the army.
For example, assurance could be given that
when the war is over, men who have served
their country in war shall have preference in
public employment in time of peace. This
could not be carried to the extent of giving
such men a prior right, but service with the
colors in war should be a very material factor
in determining fitness. A man who can carry
a rifle and other equipment on the march,
should be a good mail carrier. The soldier
who has the strength and courage to charge
the %eneny's trenches, should make a good for
est ranger. Men who served faithfully on
the firing line ought to be fairly good members
of a police force. Hundreds of places in the
public service can be found where qualified
men with creditable records in the war could
be employed with results at least as s~atisfac-
tory as those now attained. Services in the
army should not give a man a mortgage on
a public position, but it should give him a
substantial degree of preference when selec-
tons are to be made.
