HierogIyphic and Cursive
Writing Unknown to Tribes
Until Almost Modern Times

IIleroglyphlc writing preceded the
art of cursive writing. and the latter
being mt first regarded as sacred. was
confined to the priesthood. Before the
invention of either, communications
between individuals. tribes and nations
were made by means of the inter
change of material objects, which were
regarded symbolically, and code Of
signals was thus devised for the trans
mission of important messages. For
instance, Cooper in his Travels OF a
Pioneer of Commerce" says that n
piece OF chicken liver. two pieces Of
chicken fat, and chill wrapped In
red paper, meant: prepare to fight
ut once" Curslve. or even Hero
glyphic, writing was unknown to many
savage tribes until almost modern
times. About 1905, Toktai, Kipshak
prince, sent symbolical declaration Of
war to Noghai, one Of the most influ-
entail of Mongol princes. It consisted
OF n hoe, an arrow. and a handful Of
earth. which Noghai interpreted as
meaning: IF you hide In the earth.
will dig you out: II YOU rise to the
heavens. I will shoot you down choose
battlefield" The ancient Peruvian
Indians used system of small stones,
by means Of which they learned the
words they desired to remember.

Late Experiments Upset Old
Theory That Chilling Of the
Body Is the Cause OF Colds

The question Of how we catch cold
even now awaits final judgment The
common COLLIDE II one disease or sew
erals now regarded ms an infection.
and colds from infected persons are
surely known. hut there are stlll vic
tins who trace their troubles To wet
feet. or sitting In draft. An Infer
ence has been that the disease bacteria
may rest Inert on the mucous mem.
hrnne Of the throat until stirred To Hc-
tlon by the chilling OF the body. A
familiar explanation Is that chilling
OF the skin drives the blood To the In
ternnl organs. and by congestion less
ems their resistance. but the late 81.
Louis experiments of :. Mudd and :.
Il. Grant have shown that there Is no
such congestion. The temperature OF
the skin and mucous membranes actu-
ally falls with chilling Of distant parts
of the body surface and rises again
when the person Is warmed externally
The Investigators conclude that inter
ruption of the circulation may bring
Infection by upsettlng the equilibrium
between host and micro-organlsms In
such q way as decreasing the respira.
ton OF the cells, retarding waste re-
mOval, or lessening the local supply Of
the antlbodies of immunity.

TIPS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWERS

CullIng the flock of poor laying hens
should be done by daylight, when yell
low and white can be readily dstln.
gulshed, according to Roy II. Jones.
poultry specialist for the extension
service of the Connecticut Agricultural
college. AT Storrs No one need hesi-
tc,e to catch and handle hens In day
light II they are not unnecessarily
frightened.
A convenient and easy way OF hold
Ing hen for examination Is to place
the breast bone In the palm Of the
hand. with the fleshy part of the legs
held firmly each side OF the fore
finger.
The feeling Of the breast bone In the
palm Of the hand NJ once indicates the
quality of the hen. With the other
hand II Is easy TO measure the DIS
lance between the pelvic bones, and
from the pelvic bones TO the breast
bone, While doing this, look at the
pumnge, comb, shanks. henk, ear
lohes and vent. and the examination Is
complete.
IL Is not safe to judge n hen by any
one of the indications of production
nr nOn-prOductlon alone. advises Mr..
Jones. There are exceptions TO all
rules, and II Is only by giving each
point due credit that correct cOnclu-
sion can be reached

Artificial Scents.

The great bulk of perfumes are
chemical productions. The Wall Street
Journal says the commercial problem
Is whether the American perfumer Of
the future is to be an artisan or an
artist. Shall he deal with the fragrance
Of flowers or chemical odors and
scents? The idea OF the layman Is
that the cosmetic chemist seeks the
odor of flowers; but as matter Of
fact synthetic chemistry not only
crowns his work with the crushed oil
Of roses. violets and Jessamine. but
seeks to rival the fragrance Of flowers
with superior scents originating wholly
within the laboratory and trade
marked as such.

Women Are Not Persons
According to English Law

"Person" In the dictionaries Is de-

a legal standpoint, as women do not
come within the class. This was re.
vealed when the Royal Astronomical
Society of London decided TO admit
women as fellows of the council. The
plan was found to be impossible until
the society had its charter altered.
Eligibles for election In the society's
bylaws were described as persons. Z"
and when legal opinion was obtained
Il was decided thar person" was

change was made In the charter and

Miniature Trees Produced
by Permanently Curtailing
the Growth OF the Roots

Miniature trees used as parlor deco
ratlons generally belong to species
which under ordinary conditions grow
TO much greater height. These par
ticular examples owe their small size
TO the fact that their growth has been
artlficially stunted. The process Is
simple, according to Popular Mechan-
les.
Cut a thick-skInned orange In two.
and remove the pulp from one OF the
halves. Coat the skin on the outside
with shellac to preserve u, and I'LL II
with fine. rich soil. Plant two or three
seeds of some evergreen tree In the
soil. and set 1t In room where the
growing plant will get plenty Of light.
BE careful to prop up the skin in
such a way that the shoot viii grow
vertically; do not allow the room
where II stands TO become overhead
ed. and water the soil In moderation
from time to time. When the roots
force their way through the peel. cut
them Off flush with the outer surface.
and In doing So be careful not to in
iure the coat of shellac.
After the plant has attained matur-
ity 1t may be placed In a large flower
pot, and will continue to thrive there,
but as its roots have been curtailed,
II will be unable to draw more than
reduced amount OF nourishment from
the soil. and so its growth will be
permanently stunted. Cedars. pines
and even some fruit trees. endure this
process remarkably well.
