The type of letters in early manuscript was the same as that of those used oq the earlier metal plates and wax tablets. AJ1 letters were capitals. Minus cole, or small lettering, as opposed to the tnajnscule, was Invented in the seventh century. Before its invention there was no spacing between the words. There was no punctuation unless possibly some mark between sentences. When cursive writing came Into general use, about the beginning of the tenth century, the art was practiced by only a few highly trained scribes. This continued all through the middle ages. The scribes were artists, and they carried their art to a high degree of perfection. Many of the manuscripts of that period are very beautiful specimens of handiwork and as perfect as print. The First Lesson of an Arab Boy. The very first lesson which an Arab baby learns when he begins to talk is to keep facts to himself. It does not sound very friendly put in that way, but it saves a deal of trouble. Foreigners do not understand Arabs. They ask them pointed questions and receive peculiar answers. They construe the answers to please themselves and come away to tell the world that the Arabs are a nation of liars. They are not a nation of liars. Perhaps If they should tell the foreigners to mind their own affairs and let them and theirs alone the foreigners would understand them betterExchange. Strength.

Praise Indeed.

Democratic views of Republican affairs are interesting. William L. Douglas is being boosted as a possible candidate. His press agent says: "A Democrat who can stem the Roosevelt tide and turn it to his own political advantage is not a man to be overlooked when the Baltimore Convention gets down to the business of choosing a candidate for President." Precisely! Does any Democrat think it necessary to hunt for a man who can beat Taft?

Lorimer Is An Asset

In South Dakota on Tuesday the last presidential preferential primary will be held. Few people doubt for a moment that Mr. Taft will be repudiated again. Indeed should he show any strength at all his supporters will hurrah. In South Dakota the press dispatches indicate that Lorimerism will be the point on which the people vote. Lorimerism was the issue in Illinois, in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey. It makes little difference whether Lorimer bought or enjoyed the fruits of the stolen and purchased Senatorshlp. The occurrence was so dispicable as to make many conservative citizens see, as they had never seen before, the trial of corruption from the corner saloon to the steps of the capitol. Future historians are likely to place the Lorimer case, the Archibald letters to Foraker, and the preferential primaries as the turning point from the indirect form of government to the desire for direct participation in their own affairs. Lorimer is at last an asset.

Some Muscle.

Kansas papers are supposed to have better editorials than those of any other part of the country. Maybe they have but there is a man up on the Fowler Republican of this state that goes after his opponents just like a farmer after Jlmpson weed. Can't you Just hear the new filed hoe at work? Wisest man! From the standpoint of a Republican the tariff is the most important question. When the matter was being log-rolled out in Congress three years ago last summer, the President exercised his wisdom by playing golf all the day long with his shirt tail out and wearing a freshman's cap down in a watering resort. When Congress did adjourn he pronounced it the best ever and read all of the insurgents out of the party. More recently he vetoed several tariff measures because the editor of the Breeders' Gazette has not had time to tell the President what he knows concerning the tariff. Mr. Taft may be the wisest man among us, but he does not ' look it, nor play the part. The Fowler Republican is not polite. But then the Fowler Republican would win any argument held at the village grocery or the blacksmith shop.

GROTESQUE STUPIDITY. Some of Stanley's Experiences With the African Natives. The natives' of central Africa are described by the late Sir Henry M. Stanley In his autobiography as being Incredibly stupid. He tells, for example, of one native who, with another man, was sent in a canoe across a river to fetch a company of men to camp After waiting an hour Stanley w;h. co the river, where he found the two paddling each in an opposite direction and blaming the other for his stupidity. They were In a passion of excitement and quite unable to hear the advice of the men across the river, who were bawling directions to them how to manage their canoe. Another stupid fellow was generally saved from punishment because his mistakes were so absurd. One day we were floating down the Kongo. Near camping time, as he happened to be bow man, I bade him stand by and when L called out seize the grass on the bank to stop the boat. In a little while we came to a fit place, and I cried, "Hold hard, Kirango:" "Please God, master," he replied and forthwith sprang on shore and seized the grass with both hands while we, of course, were rapidly swept on down stream. The boat's crew roared at the ridiculous sight. Nevertheless his stupidity cost the tired men a hard pull up river, for not every place was available for i camp. ICEBOUND ANTARCTICA. Twice ae Large ae All Europe Is the South Polar Continent. The antarctic continent has been estimated to be at least twice as large as Europe. - The evidence of paleomtology is to the effect that Antarctica was once connected with the more northern lands, at least with South America, and that in prehistoric ages some tremendous convulsion of the earth's crust resulted in the sinking of the "submarine" floor, until In some places it Is now 4.000 fathoms, or more than four miles below the surface. AH around the great land mass of this continent there is a deep ocean bed cutting it off from every other land of the earth and setting it apart as a region more unlike the rest of the globe than any other continent or Island. Explorations have proved that in times before the advent of man upon the earth this most southern land, bad a temperate or even a warmer climate. There are fossils, both animal and vegetable, which indicate tbls. The formation of the rocks in Antarctica also is of volcanic origin and volcanic activity, notably in the case of Mount Erebus, which is not yet extinct. A vast mountain range, perhaps at one time a continuation of the Andes, exists in Antarctica. American Review of Reviews. There Is a difference between being busy and being industrious. "THIS DA TE

CURIOUS BATTLEFIELDS.

An Indoor Attack and a Cavalry Charge on a Naval Force. At the battle of Monterey, in the Mexican war, our troops were able to command the streets of the city with their artillery, but they experienced much difficulty in driving the Mexicans from their houses. Accordingly, as the city was built of stone or adobe, the Americans broke through the walls from one house to another, fighting and driving out the enemy as they proceeded. Thus, it appears, the battle of Monterey was largely fought indoors. In the time of William the Silent, when the Netherlands were fighting the Spaniards, a number of Spanish vessels became frozen in on the Zuyder Zee. Out came the Dutch on horseback on the ice to attack the Spanlards. This is probably the only battle of record wherein cavalry was employed directly against a naval force . There have been battles fought underground. Chief est of these was the fierce encounter pertaining to the siege of Haarlem in the Dutch wars. The Spaniards mined and the Dutch countermined with equal industry, and below the ground a terrific conflict ensued. When, after the commune, the Versailles troops took Paris they chased certain of the communist forces to the great sewers of the French capital, and in these more than one sanguinary battle occurred. New York Press. What Is Happiness? Happiness is the greatest paradox in nature. It can grow in any soil, live under any conditions. It defies environment. It comes from within. It is the revelation of the depths of the inner life as light and heat proclaim the sun from which they radiate. Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of possessing, but of enjoying. It is the warm glow of a heart at peace within itself. A martyr at the stake may have happiness that a king on his throne might envy. Man is the creator of his own happiness. It is the aroma of a life lived in harmony with high Ideals. For what a man has he may be dependent on others: what he Is rests with him alone. What he obtains in life is but acquisition; what be attains is growth. Happiness is the soul's joy In the possession of the intangible. William George Jordan. A Practical Husband. Surely the Monmouthshire man who caused his wife's wedding ring to be Inscribed. "If thee doesn't work, tbee shan't eat," was determined that there should be no mistake in what he required In a wife. The only wonder is how any woman could be induced tc marry him with such a threat before her eyes. The exact date of this ring is not known, bat it is previous to the eighteenth century.

Heart to Heart Talks. Bw EDWIN A.NYE.

TO A YOUNG MAN. What are you worth ? If you should die how much in cash would the world lose by your death? Experts have figured it all out. According to the figures, the life of a laborer who earns on the average 81.5C per day at the age of thirty, the period when his labor is most valuable, is worth to the .world the sum ol $3,217.03. When this man dies society loses $3,217.03 of its economic capital. But the professional mao. the spe cialist. is most valuable at the age ol forty. When he dies, according tc these statistics, society sustains a loss of $13,207.43. Moreover The laborer grows less valuable in dollars and cents after thirty, while the economic worth of the professional man remains at about the same figure up to the age of fifty. After fifty his value grows slightly less. To illustrate: Take the laboring man at sixty-five His value to society is small. He can not render much service. From being worth $3,217.03 at thirty his value has decreased until he is worth only $."94.67. But The specialist is still quite valuable to the world at sixty-five. He is worth almost as much as he was at forty oi fifty. There is no such sharp decline In value as in the. case of the laborer. Mind you When the specialist is here spoken ol the term does not necessarily include men of college education. The specialty may be that of an inventor or a breeds er as well as that of a doctor or lawyet or preacher. Nor do I undertake to say that morally considered the work of the specialist should receive a larger pay than that of the laborlr. All honest service should be well paid for. I am only saying that as society is now constituted the specialist draws more paj and is rated at a higher figure. Plainly, then, the way to make yourself more valuable to the world, to your family and fo yourself is to educate yourself to do something bettei than the average man can do it. The world is asking of you today not so much What do you know? It is asking beyond ail. else the ques-tion-What can you dp? WHO KILLED HIM? My friend "killed himself." He was a coward? Yes and no. When be was at himself he was brave enough and strong enough, but he brooded over his sorrows until he was not at himself. This is his story: For many years he had given his life to an institution. In the early days when the business could 111 afford sufficient clerical help he often did the work of two and even three men. He stood by the stuff. The business grew large and prosperous, and the men who labored with him in its establishment had died. The younger generation, when it came into the management, forgot. If it ever knew, the labors and sacrifices of my friend. Besides, the younger men wanted place for a friend. The old man was let out. Which broke his heart. He was not of the sort to wear his heart on his sleeve. He tried to keep a "stiff upper lip. At the same time it was apparent to those who knew him well that his dismissal from the old place sugar coated under the specious guise of "resignation" was a mortal blow. He tried another line of business, but it Is not easy to learn a new business when you are old. He did not succeed In his new venture because he was mortally wounded. The jolt was too heavy. He could not right himself. Hia mind became warped. In a fit of Insane It or bid ness he ended It all. Now, there is more than one way to kill a man. From the day when he was turned out like an old horse to die or to linger superfluous he was smitten in the heart. When those directors squeezed him out they did nt?t realize. Corporations have small gratitude for the past labors of a faithful worker who has borne the heat and burden of the day. Flesh and blood are cheap. And dollars are dear. You say a corporation has no soul? It should have a soul made up of the composite souls of those who direct it. Should it satisfy the individual soul of a director that, as a director, he may have helped to push a fellow mortal over the verge? Her Broken Promises. "Joe.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, June 3. Holidays at home and abroad tended to materially restrict stock market operations. Another influence which discourages activity is the approach of the conventions next month at Chicago and Baltimore. Some idea can be formed as to the forthcoming candidates for the Presidency, but thus far little has been said or made known as to the platform of either party. At the moment this is of even more importance than the personnel of the candidates. Radicalism is rampant in nearly all parts of the country, especially in the West; hence the formal declarations of each side will be awaited with Intense Interest. The technical position of the market is also somewhat uncertain, the recent rise having been engineered by, parties who have not entirely succeeded in disposing of their surplus stocks. Whether they will ultimately succeed or not remain to be seen. Outside of Wall Street conditions are generally favorable. Crop reports are daily becoming much more satisfactory; early damage having been fully compensated for by good conditions elsewhere and by prompt replanting. Of wheat, corn, oats and hay the chances at present are in favor of

full crops. There Is still some uncer-jance. It means not only a strengthentainty regarding cotton because of the jlng of our credit abroad, but if nothing lateness of that crop and the propsect , Interferes It means continued expanfor a slightly diminished acreage. The sion of home Industry as well as an only crop of importance that seems i outlet for our surplus products and enlikely to be short is that of cattle, lergies which, if bottled up too tightly. The last drouth and the subsequent would run into congestion and depres-

high price of feed forced the early marketing of large quantities of cattle; hence the present deficiency In supplies and the high prices of beef,

We are sending leEs and less foodstuffs to Europe be cause they are required at home, and are sending instead more and more of manufactured products, which now amount to nearly one-half of our total exports.
