Ancients Saued Time
by Employing Script

The difference between script
and print is to be referred to a
date long before the invention of
printing. One must not suppose
that the ancient scribes, In writing
papers of but temporary value,
would labor to follow the same al
phabet that the carver employed
upon the monuments of stone des-
tined for all time. AS far back as
records have been preserved there
was in existence curSive style
of writing, and instances have been
preserved abundsntly in Pompeii
Of random remarks by the ordi-
nary citizen scrlbbling idle senti-
ments upon the walls.
The alphabet Of the monuments
was commonly the model for the
writer's of formal literature, pro-
fessional penmen who looked for
ward to the library preservation
of the works on which they were
engaged. Business men used the
cursive script, which was far more
readily and corresp0ndingly more
rapidly written. The monumental
and manuscript hand has served as
the parent of the printed letter.
The cursive hand is the ancestor
Of penmanship.

Birds to Be Classed
as Master Builders

Birds are the most perfect build
ers, and-strange as it may sound
there Is scarcely a trade that you
will not find represented among
these feathered craftsmen.
Many Of the nests of American
birds are marvels of ingenuity, but
their greatest efforts pale beside
the wonders of the tropics. Weav-
erS, carpenters. tailors, plasterers,
tunnelers-these are but few of
the many trades that we find prac-
ticed when the nesting season ar
rives.
The sand-martin and the king
fisher, both belong to the guild Of
tunnelers, and are content with a
burrowed hole. Ducks. gulls, wa
ter hens and cOrncrakes are all
primitive builders, with no ideas
beyond rough and scanty collec-
ton of materials loosely thrown to-
gether on the ground.
The house swallow Is plaster
er, employing as his building mate
rials nothing more than mud, but
out of this he c0ntriyes to erect
q nest that is wonderfully strong,
and put together with neatness
and care.
The singing thrush uses more
varied materials, a mixture Of clay,
COW manure, and moss, but well
and truly laid, and forming q splen-
did home for the young birds.

First Modern Centenoriian

The first centenarian OF, modern
times whose claims to having lived
over one hundred years were Off
cially authenticated was Miss Eliza
beth Gray, who died in Edinburgh,
Scotland, II years ago, in her one
hundred and eighth year, says the
Boston Post.
She belonged to the upper circle
of Scottish society, and investiga-
tors said there was no room for
doubt as to her great age. Many
present-day physicians and SCI
entists assert that many of the
claimants to centenary honors are
either guilty of deception or self
deceived. Practically all the "lon-
gevity cases" of our ancestors are
now diScredited.

Spain Holds Richest
Deposit of Mercury

Mercury is the only common
metal that is liquid at ordinary tenn
peratures, and this characteristic
enables it to supply needs for which
there are no known substitutes.
says the bureau of mines. 1t alloys
readily with certain other metals
forming amalgams, many Of which
are plastic. The ease with which
gold and silver amalgamate has
been utilized for the recovery OF
those metals, but this use has been
largely supplanted by the cyanide
and fotation processes.
The largest and richest deposit
of mercury now known in the
world is at Almaden, in central
Spain, says the Pathfinder Maya
zine. This deposit has been mined
almost continuously since Roman
times and has been owned and
worked by the Spanish government
since 1916. The ore bodies are
large, some Of them attaining SO
feet in width and as much as 800
feet in length. The mine has been
developed to a depth Of more than
1000 feet and the available re-
serve has been estimated as at
least 10000 metric tons of metal

THE ORPHANS

There's a cave in the rocks
where the pine trees grow,
And two little cubs, too young
to roam,
Are swaiting for food, while the
blizzards blow;
The food that their Mummy
will soon bring home.
There's a big skin stretched at
the Trapper's hut,
To dry in the sun and wind and
rain;
In the cabin. there's bear-meat
freshly cut,
Mummy will never come home
again.

ONLY A STRAY DOG

The poem entitled "Stray Dog"
appeared in Munsey's Magazine
for August, and is by an Oregon
writer, Miss Charlotte Mish of
Portland. 1t is an unusually
beautiful poem and carries a
vital message back of it. Here's
knockout for sympathy:
Your wistful eyes searched each
one as he passed,
Stray dog-so lost, SO starved
and starkly thin
| And yet your gallant hope held
to the last
That there would come heart
to take you in.
Some came who jeered at your
bewilderment,
| Some kicked you, shouted, threw
things till you'd gone;
But, oh, more cruel was the one
Iwho bent
| And petted you, and murmured
and went on.

When Glass Is Scratched

Slight scratches on glass may be
partially polished out by rubbing
the part with rouge wet with water
upon a piece of soft leather. If it
is a deep scratch, it will have to
be ground out with the finest flour

clans, and the spot polished with
rouge and water upon a piece Of
soft leather. If you have much of
this kind Of work to do, it will save

Nc Secular Pleasure
on Puritan Sabbath

Driving on Sunday, even to
church, was considered almost a
crime in England by the >@sterner
Puritans In the Nineteenth century,
In view OF which the announce
ments that provision for parking
place has been made in the build
Ing Of new church at Southamp-
ton is particularly Interesting.
These Puritans discountenanced all
riding or driving on what the unre-
generate called the "day of gloom
and darkness; and a race that
drank its tea without sugar on that
day and punished child who gave
his pony an apple on Sunday would
certainly have regarded a parking
place. as a quite superfiuous addi-
ton to a place Of worship. Some
persons outside the narrow ring
Of Puritanism also had scruples on
the subject Of driving to church,
whence rose one of Bishop Wilber-
forces best hits. This was at
Blenheim, when Palmerston and
some others preferred to drive
while s.. WilberfOrce joined the
walking party. 1t rained and the
carriage overlook the walkers just
as Wilberforce was struggling with
an unruly umbrella. Palmerston
put his head out Of the window
and quoted derislvely:
How blest Is he who ne'er consents
BY Ill advice to walk.
Wilberforce promptly emerged
from the umbrella with:
Nor stand in sinners ways nor sits
Where men profanely talk.

Sugssstions for Soldering
Do not attempt soldering job
until the iron has been properly
timed, otherwise difficulty will
be encountered in trying to make
the solder stick to the iron. See
that all wires to be sOldered are
perfectly clean, otherwise the sol
der will fail to stick properly. If
necessary, clean the parts to be
soldered with fine sand paper, not
emery paper. When making ground
connections to water pipe, be sure
the pipe is free from dust or corro-
sion and the iron good and hot.
