devious and sundry methods. As the

there are organized hunts inaugurated
in settled communitiee for both pleas-

The .Apeiste In society.
To ape anything is a sign of vactiltY
of mind; to ape the follies of those
above you ifs one of the inost offensive
forms of vulgarity. Yet we see the fol-
lies of the uppermost classes steadily
imitated all down the different eets of
society, and tbe popularity of 'every
book dealing with the peerage is a
proof, if one were needed, of what ab-
sorbipg interest our failings are to the
public. There is nothing we will not
write upon be gratify this vulgar marl-
osityanothing 1 in too bad taste if by
Its (publication We can raise a little of

profeesing to be horrified, greedily
cries for more. -A Countess In London

possible at tines to secure a wife in ex-
change for a moderate amount of to-
bacco, as in lat r daYs in' the west a
squaw could be obtained inexchange
for a email amodtit of whisky. In 1732
at Jameestown tobacco was made a le-
gal tender for all debts, including cus-

colonists, each being paid .for at the
rate of "120 pounds of good tobaceo."

The a1iest Fnoctnatloas.
Punetuation hy means of stops or

of efeitete es. and assist the reader to n

nally to dristophanes, an Alexandriam
grammarian, who lived in the third
century B. C.. Whatever his system
may have been, it -was subsequentlyt
neglected ahd forgotten, but was rein-,
trodueed by Charlemagne, the various
stops and symbols being designed bri
Warnefried and Alculn.
Tne present system of punch:lethal
was introduced in the latter part of thei
fifteenth century by Aldus Manuthis,
Venetian printer, who was responeible
for our period, colon, semicolon, com-
ma, marks of interrogation and excla-
mation, parenthesis and dash, hyebent
apostrophe and quotation marks. These
were subsequently copied by other
printers until their use became univer-

knights ef the pen and scissors and
their distingeished guest sat down to-
gether. The hosts, knowing their con-
tributor only by his work, fully Redid-
pated a "feast of reason and a flow of

were consumed without a word from

beyond noncommittal grunts. Despite'
