Father of Punctuation.

The present system of punctuation,
now used in all modern languages with
but insignificant variations, was intro
duced in the first half of the fifteenth
century by Venetian printer named
Aldus Manutius. He is the real father
of punctuation marks-of the full stop,
comma, semlcolon, colon, question and
exclamation marks, apostrophe and in
verified commas. Manutius' system was
adopted later by all printers until it
finally established itself throughout
Europe. Courier-J Journal.

NAMING of PicadiEly,

Picadilly, made familiar to most
Americans by 'Tipperary," is believed
to have got its name from pickadelles
or picadillies, a variety of turnover
collar. A taller named Higgins, who
had made a fortune selling these arti-
cles of apparel, built home in that
particular part Of London in 1850 and
called it Picadilla hall, hence the name
