Early Magazines Failed aa
to Be Business Success.

The first magazine in the United
States was called the American
Magazine, and was issued in, Phila-
delphia, Feb. 10, 1741, by Andrew
Bradford, printer, business rival OF
7eniamin Franklin. It was edit2d
by john Webbe.
1t appears that the idea of start
ing a magazine in this vountry, on
the lines of the famous Gentleman's
Magazine of London, originated
with Franklin. But he incautiously
divulged his scheme to Webbe, with
the result that Bradford offered his
publication to the colonies three
DAYS before Franl1lin's General
Magazine was out. Neither pub
LEGATION lasted very long, however.
Webbes expired with its second
number and Frankiin's with its
sixth. The Saturday Evening Post,
another Franklin publication, dates
to 1923, but was not originally a
magazine.
Down to the Revolution, observes
a writer In the Cleveland Ram
Dealer, sixteen magazines had
been launched in America They
included such titles as the New
England Magazine of knowledge
and Pleasure, begun in Boston in
1883; the American Magazine and
Monthly Chronicle, started in Phila-
delphia in 1757. None survived
more than few years.
Charles Brockden Brown, the
first American novelist, established
in New York in 1899 the Monthly
Magazine and Literary Journal,
which lasted three years. And in
1901 there was launched in Phila-
delphia the Port Folio, which sur
vived until 1921 remarkable rec
ord among early periodicals. An
excellent magazine of this time was
the Anthology and Boston Review
(Boston, 1903 181D, to which
Everett Ticknor and John Quincy
Adams were contributors.

Hanging Was Public Show
in Britain's Early Davi

Hanging, believed to be the most
merciful form of execution in Bri-
tain, was also one of the earliest,
states a writer in Pearson's Lon
don Weekly.
The first gallows was, of course,
tree. A rope was tossed over a
branch, the moose put round the
victims neck and he was then
hauled aloft to die of slow strangu-
lation.
Later an upright beam was used
with ladder. The victim climbed
the ladder and the hangman at
tached the rope to the beam. Then
Che hangman came down and
kicked the ladder away, leaving
the victim hanging.
Sometimes if the hangm n
thought the poor wretch had suf-
fered enough and the spectators
had had s'their moneys WORTH" he
pulled on the victims legs to
hasten death.
1t was in the seventeenth cen
fury, that the idea of killing quick
ly, as opposed to causing as much
suffering as possible, came into
favor.
Then followed the first "drop"
or trap. This, though much i'm
proved, is used today and results
in the neck being broken, causing
instant death.

Home of Seabiras

VeNice has been called the "Queen
OF the Adriatic" and the "Serens
Seaport" but its oldest name was
the "Sea~Birds' Home" Long before
the Huns swept down on Italy there
was small population, the aborigi-
nal Venetians, occupying the estu-
airy, of whom Cassiodorus, secre-
tary of Theodoric the Great, has left
us a picture. The Huns drove refu-
gees from Padua, Aquileia and
other mainland cities to the lagoons
to found a republic among the sea
birds.

"TOeing the Mark"

"Toeing the mark" may be Just
an expression that parents and
teachers use merely as a caution
to youngsters to obey, but in the
pioneer days it really meant some
thing. In the days when discipline
was most rigid, the pupils, as a
test of their close adherence to
rules, were compelled to stand
erect, during recitations, with their
toes on a line drawn near the
teachers desk.

Uncle Bill Hamilton Had Wide knowledge
OF Indian Sign Language; Prepared Lessons

How much?" How many?" Who are you?'
What do you want?'' Where is your vii
lage?" Where are you going and many othel
questions.
Illustration: You meet an Indian suddenly
Palm of right hand open, brought in from
of face of Indian. Move palm to left anC
right, twice with a quick motion, then put
palm over your mouth-"Astonished.' "You
astonish me-"
When you meet a friendly Indian make same
sign as to an Indian you do not know, which
is the same as above, only with a slower mo-
ton of the hand which means-"Hello, who
are you?"
When an Indian comes to your house OF
trading post, make the same sign as above,
but with a still slower motion-"What do you
want?"
Make same sign as above, then close right
hand with index finger vertical extended
arms length in front then bring hand towards
you-'Where did you come from?"
Same sign then both hands closed, index
vertical, bring both hands in front two feet
from face, then bring ends of index to-
gether, forming an angle of As degrees, then
move right palm in front of Indian quick
motion-"Where is your lodge?"
Make same sign as Where are you going? %
then extend left hand in front palm down,
index finger and thumb of right hand spread
with an outward motion under palm of left
with a quick movement-"When are you 60
ing to WARP"
LESSON SIXTEEN
1t is a very common thing for an Indian
to ask a white man to give him a recon-
mendation of good character to all white men
whom he may visit. To accomplish this he
will make the following signs:
Hold palm of left hand up; end index and
thumb of right hand together, make sign as
if writing on palm of left. Then extend right
hand, palm up. breast high and move hand
in circle of one foot, then place thumb in
palm of hand and turn hand edgewise palm
to left then bring hand to chin-"Give me"
Right hand closed and brought just above
Put hand to heart and make sign of my
heart is good.'
Then make sign of All of you" which. you
remember, is as follows: Extend right hand
arms length and move in a circle twice.
Index of left hand vertical then clasp in
palm of right-'My friends
Language of this sign is of Importance to
Indians; sometimes honestly requested but
meets many reverses.
I would advise all who come in contact
with Indians to be careful in giving them a
letter of recommendation as a good IN
dian, one that can be trusted.
The full sense and meaning OF the above is
as follows: my friend give me paper; give
me a good name; I am honest; a good friend
to all whites"
make the sign Il am poor, it's good for my
friends to give to me, etc. Many
of them will ask for money.
