RECORDS WRITTEN ON WOOD
Laws So Recorded Were Rather for
Preservation Than With Idea Of
General Circulation.

Ionian culture was different in It's
form from any development Of later
times, and most difficult to under
stand, having been addressed to the
ears and not to the eyes. writes Mary
Mills Patrick in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. The sixth century,
b. c., was an age without free dis
tribution of written records, and the
beginnings of libraries were mostly col
lections of wooden tablets.
Some of the great men Of the lat
ter part Of this period each wrote a
hook. but 1t was a laborious task.
Heraclltus of Ephesus was one of
those who wrote a book which was
kept for safety in the temple of Di-
ana at Ephesus. A book was not a
thing TO be lightly regarded, and the
process of writing was so difficult that
II was far easier TO remember what
one had written than to decipher 1t
from a book
Greek writing was hard to read be-
cause neither the words nor the SEN
fences were divided from each other,
and the lines ran both from right to
left and from left TO right. Scion and
Pittakos wrote their laws on wooden
tablets. However they did not write
them for general circulation, but rather
to preserve the laws they had pro-
mulgated.

To The Graduate

The end of another school year
brings its round of Commencement
festivities to the young people of the
community. Have you noticed the
High School lads and lasses as they
pass you in groups upon the streets
these days? Have you seen the flush
of youthful health upon their cheeks,
the light of youthful happiness in
their eyes? 1t is wonderful thing
to be a sweet girl graduate or young
man standing at the very threshold of
life. And it is still more wonderful to
be young at this particular time in
the worlds history. The Baccalaur-
cate sermon, the Commencement adj
dresses and the toasts at the Alum
nj Banquets will all treat upon this
theme and the graduates will be ar
rayed like Solomon's lily, in all their
glory, but only few of the many
will realize the wonderful value of
youth. 1t was Merely Mary Ann who,
after her youth had fled and she had
achieved the success she had so long
sought, cried out. "Oh, why is it that
everything in life comes too late? 7"
Later on in middle life, when one is
bearing the heat and burden of the
day, one looks back to the. days of
graduation from the High School and
appreciates the fact that it was then,
if ever, there came perfect days. So,
to the boys and girls who are leav-
ing the High School at this time, we
extend greeting. The days in the
school room may at times have SEEM
ed dull and irksome, the routine OF
lessons and the hours of study may
have been burden, but soon you Will
realize that your future success IN
| life must to a large extent rest upon
the foundation you have laid in the
school room. Never again will you
occupy just quite the position you
do at this time. Other honors and sue
cesses may come to you, and we hope
they will, but never again will you be
quite so free from care, quite so hap
py, and quite so important in your
own estimation as you are just at this
particular time.

Lightning Does Damage

A lively thunder shower early Sun
day afternoon did some damage and
brought out the fire department of the
city, but passed over without much
rain falling.
A chimney was struck on the house
of Mrs. Addie Reading, on York street
and completely wrecked. Fire was
feared because of the dust and smoke,
and an alarm turned in, which
brought out the Union, Fleet Wing,
Hibernia and Columbia Fire Compan-
les, of this city.
1t was not necessary to bring the
apparatus into use, however, but the
house struck adjoins Green's garage,
frame building, and fire of a few
few months ago at the Reading Gar
age on Elm street, made it desirable
to take no chances of waiting.
Lightning also struck an electric
wire at Union and Coryell streets,
and burned out the connections in
several nearby houses and stores.

New Garbage Ruling

The householders of this city now
have to wrap and tie their garbage,
and if it's wet, it must be drained
dry before wrapping, according to
the edict of the City Commissioners,
through new ordinance just adopt
ed. There's fine for failing to CON-
ply with the rule.
There's likely to be considerable
complaint over the new ruling, as To-
cal householdsrs put out their stuff
in any manner that suited them in
the past, and when Thomas w. Nit
chell was the official collector for a
number of years, there was seldom a
complaint, but lately there have been
many. Mr.. Mitchell himself was in
charge of one of the collecting wagons
while William Winters, of New Hope,
the present collector, has to depend
entirely upon his assistants.
