writers have written about the white

Shorthand Lona in Use.

From references made 30 skilled
writer's in ancient literature, the infer.
ence is drawn that shorthand was
known long before the Christian era.
The first authentic knowledge OF, the
art dates to the first century before
Christ. The pioneer of Roman short
hand was Marcus Fullius Trio, -secre-
tary and librarian to Cicero, who de-
vised system which was little more
than list of abbreviations. Later it
was improved TO such an extent that
reporters of the time could keep pace
with the speakers by writing in relays.
The system of the Latins fell into dis
use between the Fifth and Ninth CEN
turtles, and modern stenography dates
from 1888.

ORIGIN of Old SAYING.

The original quotation, II fear the
Greeks bearing gifts appears in Yer
gil's Eneid. The reference is to the
siege of Troy. The Greeks besieged
the city of Troy without success.
Finally they resorted to strategy, Of
fering a huge wooden horse to the
Trojans as gift. The horse was
taken into the city and while the }Tro-
jams slept. the\ warriors, with which
the horse was filed, came forth and
opened the gates for their Greek COM
rades. The conclusion Is that one
should fear an enemy when he seems
friendly.

The finest ostrich feathers are the
forty or more white ones which come
off the wings. The birds seem to
feel very keenly the disgrace of hav-

about hanging their heads and show

the freshly plucked ostrich does not
