After giving over J 14.000.000 to indigent Jews the Hungarian Baron Hirsh is said to hare more thau $100,000,000 left to keep the wolf away from his own door. After traveling 300 miles to marry a girl be had never seen an Illinois man decided that bo preferred her sister. “So they ■were married.” How happy they may live •• ever after” remains to be seen. But he certainly did wisely not to wed one when he preferred the other. Both may thus be spared a life of misery. Trading in darkies would still be going on if the New York museum men could have their way. Ole wanted to buy outright from their parents two albino twins re cently born in Chattanooga with perfectly white hair. Before the eastern republican papers shout horror let them hunt up their good citizen and punish him. Bringing all the influence of the Catholic priesthood to the aid of tbe dominant party in Canada looks very much as if the gov ernment has been making concessions to the church. That seems to be rather a desper ate sort of a deal for a government claim ing allegiance to the British crown, whloh has an established national church. Over so small a matter as the uncivil con duct of Parisian artist* the war dogs of Germany and France hare already begun snarling at each other. For years the slum bering fires of suppressed hatred between these two countries have been accumulating intensity of beat. When they do finally break forth, their violence will be some thing terrible. Making his first appearance at the Dela ware bar in a divorce case after sixteen years of retirement was a somewhat unex pected, Dot to say surprising, thing for the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard to do. But Broker Frank Work wanted his daughter to stop supporting a profligate English husband, and therefore he probably made his prof fered retainer so rich as to overcome the objections of even the great Delaware statesman. As Parnell gradually disappears under a cloud Sir Charles Dilke looms up against the horizon of English politics as the pro posed member of parliament from a Glou cestershire borough that has always been somewhat inclined toward him, even when he was forced to retire from public life by social complications in which he became in volved. Once more in the political arena it ■will not be long before he is again as promi nent as before. For he is too bright a man to long remain in obscurity. Before a man in a conspicuous position undertakes to be flippa it and supercilious it is always best tuat be should be on friendly terms with the great grammarians. As Substitute Bulkeley.who has volunteered to obstruct the gubernatorial doorway of Connecticut, altogether neglected that im portant preliminary to aspiring satire when inditing his Second Epistle to David he has fallen into the clutches of the ne a spaper critics, and they are making dead goose or some other sort grotesque game of him. Starting a republic of ail women it the latest idea of the suffragists. Such a govern ment of the weaker sex would be uista le and greatly given to hysterics. With no one among them who could drive a na.l, throw a stone straight or shoot a gun with out closing both eyes, the administration would grow shaky. Where a particularly unique new bonnet would incite an insurrec tion and a live mouse would create a panic the government could not become suffi ciently formidable to excite international Klarm. Subsidies Inlure Shipping. Subsidies ere essentially a i objectionable feature of national legislation. Yet there is no denying that the most conscientious of ns are to some slight extent affected in oar judgment of such things by the pe eonalitv of tbe projectors and the purpose to which a subsidy is to be |put. Therefore we can not be so implacably opp sed to that Gould lumau subsidy to start a trans-Atlantic steamship line from Havanuab, as if ti.eben efit was to be derived wholly by outsiders, and the improvements we e to accrue to some other city. Nevertheless we know that such a subsidy is bad legislation based upon an unwise governmental policy that only tends to inspire and foster a weak re liance upon the national government for improvements that should be inaugurated and maintained by private capita , as an individual or corporate euterprise founded wholly upon the natural development of business for its ultimate success. Legislation of a friendly character and tending to impartially f iter such private enterprises as may he built upfis what American shipping needs much more than the subsid es that discriminate in favor of the influential. There has certainly been enough ignorant and bad legis lation on the subject of American shipping to warrant the New York Maritime Regis ter in saying, that •‘the absence from the House and Senate of any men practically and thoroughly acquainted with shipping matters leaves congress without any guide whatever in legislating for the merchant marine.” But whether there is as much force in the statement that “if shipowners and those connected in various ways with our shipping expect to secure the much needed legislation they must send their own representatives to congress,” is an open question. legislation of the most useful and practi cal character does not usually come from those for whoso benefit it is devised. In fact it rarely does. For they generally know a good deal more about the technique of their own occupations than about framing laws even for their own advantage or protection. Instance the Maritime Register's very prop er opposition to subsidies, while the aver age shipowner in c ngreas would be strongly inclined to favor subsidies on general prin ciples, for the merely selfish reason that they might some time prove advantageous to his personal interests. Yet many of t e more thoughtful shipowners are now firmly opposed to subsidies, as an unwise aud alto gether injurious policy. Travel Eecomes More Attractive. Evolution continues to erolute. Develop ment in the convenience and luxury and magnificence of railway travel continues to develop. From the original small begin ning to the present palatial vestibuled draw ing room train ot the Southern Fast Mail bas been a gradual gradation of constant improvement. But it is not to stop there Within the past few days the great Penn sylvania system has announced that its management nas devised an elaborate scheme under the operatiou of which a sooiety lady may bo picked up at her resi dence in Philadelphia and set down in a New York ball-room without so much as soiling her satin slippers. Time between the two groat cities is to be literally annihilated, they tell us. Theu when the fair traveler arrives at Jersey City she will be transferred upon a carpeted raised vestibule way to the upper part of a double-decked ferryboat, from which she will be likewise transferred over a similarly elegant elevated corridor with out asoeuding or descending a stair direct to tbe door of a handsome carriage stand ing under shelter, which will then take hor to the curb in front of her destination, which Bhe will reach through a carpeted canvas canopy with almost as little exertion ns is required to go from one part of a house to another. That is reducing the fatigue and discomfort of travel to a minimum. But so very elaborate an arrangement, with all of the amazing elegance of appointments and decoration, will probably come high. Only the very rich will be able to indulge to any considerable extent in that sort of luxurious modern improvement iu travel. Still it appears very wonderful. But just here comes in another exemplifi cation of the perversity of humau nature and its disheartening tendencies. Life’s disappointments are accurately described iu the familiar lines: "’Twas ever thus, from childhood's hour t I’e seen my fondest hopes decay; I never loved a tree or flower But 'twas the first to fade away I’’ An old darkey beyond the pale of plagia rism,because he could not read a word, once expressed identically the same idea in the homely exclamation: “I nebber hab er piece er butter bread ’cep’ it drap—swap!— butter side down’ard!” Both are pertinent and graphic enough. They may console the great railway sys tem’s management. For just as all of this crowing glory of success has been attained all of the company’s trained employes threaten to go out on a strike. That will give the officers of the company a chance to apply either of the above sentiments they may individually, severally or collectively prefer. Before he gets through with print ing lottery advancements, Publisher Dupre of ihe New Orleans States may flud that he has undertaken a much larger con tract than he bargained for. Bringing up in pri-on as a part of tho programme may prove to be more than he expected. Still the plucky journalist is determined to fight out the case to a final conclusion before the United States supreme court on a writ of habeas corpus. It was for that reason that be allowed himself to be consigned to prison. Keally he deserves to wiu. Unless she shall contract an additional incubus of debt, it is said that the Duchess of Marlborough can now p iy off her accu mulated obligations, since Mr. Jaiae- Kent Mason has withdrawn his suit, at the rate of 130,000 a year. As if to aid the enter prise, a wealthy club of business men has just formed aud announces its intention of building a club house on a lease ! part of the Hamersley estate, from which she derives her income. Lucky duchess to have $50,000 a year to pay. Doubly lucky to have the sum increased. Emphatically denying the report of his approaching marriage to pretty Miss "Waldron, Actor Stu irt Robson saya that it is only the work of scandal mongers, as he is old euoug i to be the lady’s grandfather. While p ausible this reason is not absolutely conclusive. Getting married within an hour af'er each had been divorced is making pretty lively time. But that is what an Indiana c uple recently did. Matrimonial facilities are said to be of the most improved pattern in the Hoosier state. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. MARCH 2, 1891. The Presbyterian Confession. Despite the iipoarent neeesdty for it, tbe change* in the Presbyeri u Oonfes ion of Faith will ha e a tendency to shock and dU~ sat.sfy toe more conservative element among Presbyterians. Ot ad things in life, a deeply religious spirit is likely to repose an abiding faith in tbe unalterable t-ulh and accuracy of his religious belief. If one cannot safely rely upon bis religious tenets, be argues, what can he believe In? There fore tbe mere thought that the enduring faith instilled in his childhood, and con firmed in his ail descent youth, and strength ened with advancing years, was in any particular so defestive aud inaccurate as to require modifi ation or revision, is to the devout tuiud ineffably painful and bewil- dering. Implicit belief Jn anything ono shaken can never again bo wholly restored. Cut adrift from its original firm in wrings it is apt to wander and canuot readily be at t.chsdtoany new object designated. In this simple and reverent loyalty of the per fectly luaoceut soul anything pertaining to the doctrine upon w hich religion is based is altogether too saored for hu nan alteration of any kind whatever. Consequently such changes as have been made iu the Presby terian Confession of Faith may meet ttio critical approval of learnol and analytical theologians and also prove inviting to free thinking philosophical prospective prose lytes. But it is likely to fall wito the crush ing force of apparent sacrilege upon those to whom a fixed and unalterable faith means eternal salvation. According to Secretary W. E. Moore of the revision committee of the lato general assembly held in Washington, “the same meth >d was pursued as at the recent session at Allegheny, so that the entire Confession was revised and attention given to the answers of the presbyteries on each chapter and section designated by them. Then the work done and tentatively adopted at Alle gheny was passod in review and confirmed or changed as deemed best. Thus tbe com mittee had revised chapters i. to xvi. At these sessions the remaining chapters were taken up and changes tentatively made wore finally ad >pted as the mature judg ment of the committee. Change;, elimina tions or additions were made chiefly in chapter i., 5; chapter iii., 3,4, 5,6; chapter iv., 1; chapter vi., 4; chapter viii., 3,4, 5, 6; chapter x., 2,8, 4; chapter xL, 1, 2,3; chapter xiv., 1; chapter xvi., 7; chapter xxi., 4; chapter xxiii., 3; chapter xxiv., 3; chapter xxv., 6; chapter xxix., 2; and chapter xxx., 2. “The question of publishing its report be fore the time of the meeting of the next assembly, which was left to the discretion of the committee, was fully considered. It was unanimously agreed to not print any part of the report prior to the meeting of the next assembly, with the sug gestion that the work of the committee be referred to the presbyteries for their con sideration; but not as an overture for final action; that the presbyteries be requested to report it. suggest any changes that they may deem desirable, and forward the re port of the same to the secretary of the re vision committee by Dec. 1, 1891; that the committee subsequently act upon these sug gestions of the presbyteries aud make Us final reports to the assembly in 1892.” Lately such a veritable rage for fashions in religion similarly transitory to those in more worldly affairs has developed, and such mania for radical alterati ons in almost everything has been manifested that there is really soino reason for apprehension that the somewhat important elsrnent of actual divine worship will be wholly eliminated from the religion of the future aud legis lated altogether out of existence. Revision of the Supreme Court Rules. Putting forward the slow-going appealed cases in the court of last resort has long been a desideratum which the bar of the country has fouud itself unequal to coping with. But it is believed to have been at last measurably accomplished. Before adjourning for the February rocossthe United States supreme court made an important chango in the rules of practice whi h is attracting a great deal of atten tion among lawyers tboroughout the coun try. Some of them appear to be somewhat in doubt as to the reason for the change and the ensuing results. In effect the modification of the rules ordered by the court is to require that each case brought before the tribunal shall be docketed within thirty days from the time the appeal is takon from the lower court. Unless some very good reason shall entitle a given case to a special order all appeals, citations and writs of error are to ba made returnable by the lower court to the supreme court within the prescribed period of thirty days. Whether the court may chance to be in session or in vacation this rule Is intended to apply with equal force and effect So rigidly is it to be applied that unless each case with all records pertaining thereto shall be docketed within the given specified limit of thirty day# they shall be subject to dismissal. Many months have heretofore been allowed to intervene between the tak ing of an appeal and docketing it upon the supreme court records. Attorneys have been in the habit of availing themselves of this privilege to defer cases when the principal object in view was to secure a delay before coming to a final decision. When the electrocution case of Juriguro was seat up from New York the attention of the court was called to tho ready facili ties for infinite aud vexatious delays that the court has afforded, and it was for the espftc.nl purpose of meeting just such cases that the new rule was framed, and put in operation. Still it has beeu made of sufficiently general application to affect all cases coning before the court. By precluding dilatory motions ad ob structive tactics the rule will probably save the court a great deal of time that has here tofore been occupied in hearing merely dilatory motions. To that extent it may and probably will tend to reduce the great accumulations of the constantly leng bal ing calendar. If it doss that it w.ll afford an incalculable ad vantage to litigants who really wish to reach final conclusions. Undertaking to block Hill’s presidential prospects with the use of his accummula ti ms of insu auce money, which is said to be Mr. Buike ey , latest device, only shows the innate smallness and.malice of t .e man. But Bulkeley hasn’t enough influence even in his own party to do any one much harm. So Gdv. Hill has little to fear from the irate back-number’s tamjering with the Connecticut democrats. They don’t love him particularly. They have no reason to. Suffering the pangs of loneliness for ten days proved too much for a Dakota man. So the 60-year-old widower looked up a buxom 45-year-oid Yankton widow and engaged her lor a life contract in the role of mother to his six children. With to many howling youngsters around him uis haste to unload the responsibility is not so sur pr.sing. PBHFONAL President Diaz of Mexico is reported to hve arranged for a trip to France.

I expect it'll go pretty tough," he reflected, throwing away his cigar and wiping hU mouth carefully ua he ap preached his home.

Then he Went on tiptoe upstairs, put oa his best necktie, combe 1 his hor carefully, and came softly down stairs again. “Mary .Tans:" he ca.led out. “Where are you. dear*” "Out here.” answered a voice in the kitchen. "Did you bring that package of chocolate I told you not to forget when you went down town this morning?" "Why, no," said Mr. Diltz, regretfully, as he went into the kitchen. "I forgot it, dear.” Mrs. Diltz looked at him suspiciously. He hadn't called her "dear" for eleven ye rs. “You forgot It? Hump'i! I just expected it. What are you up to now?" This query, somewhat sternly uttered, was prompted by an unexpected forward movement on the part of Mr. Diltz. "Don't you see I'm cleaning this chicken?” she exclaimed. “Look out: You’ll make me cut myself. I’m wor ing at the gizzard. A man has no business poking round in tae kitebi n when he can’t do any good.” Mr. Diltz stepped back. He had intended to kiss his wife, but concluded to postpone the matter for a little while "Mary Jane." he said, “my dear ’’ “What are you all slicked up for, anyhow? Going anywhere?" "No, love. I expect to spend the rest of the day at home 1 cam aan hour or two earlier, thinking "I wish you had brought that chocolate. That's what I wish." "Darling," said Mr. Diltz, “I—that's no way to go to w. rk at a gizzard. letme " "Maybe you know more about this kind of work than I do.

Do you tell me I’m hard to get along with?” “Not at all, Mary Jane; not at all.

There’s no need of us acting like cats and dogs ’’ "Who says we act like cats and dogs? Look here. Polbemus, you’ve beau drinking.” “It's a blamed I—now.

If you have any business to attend to at your office there will be plenty time for you to do it before supper. I'll get along, I don’t need any help on tols chicken." "Dlddledy dod swin T the dag-gone oid hen!” shouted Mr. Diltz, beside himself with rage. "Dad-swizzle its gol-ainged old carcass!" He went out of the kitchen, slamming the door behind him, and in less than a quarter ot a minute later he was on his way back to his office, muttering excitedly to himself and crush ing the inoffensive sidewalk hard beneath his vindictive heel as he strode along. Mr. Diltz has not entirely given up the idea of courting his wife, but he has registered a cast iron vow never to undertake the job again when she is anatomizing a chicken. Love la a Star. From the New York Truth, XVhat is more subtle than love, Easing of mind and of heart, Sent by the gods from above, Making the warm blood to start, Peace to descend like a dove; What is more subtle than love? Love is a star We reach for in vain! Stars when they fall Arise not again. What is more cursed than love. Fobbing the great world of rest, Sent by some devil to prove Each woman's oath but a jest. Each woman's face but a suare, Set In its meshes of hair? Love is a star We reach for in vain 1 Stars when they fall Arise not again. What is more certain than this, No man has gone down to his death Unknown to gome fond woman's kiss, Some sudden, quick pulsing of breath, F.re he grows to the dust and the clay, Ere he quits the fair portals of day. Love is a star We reach for in vainj Stars when they fall Arise not again. Let me say of a great man who lives. Since life is as certain as fate. Asking every emotion earth gives, Asking love for its joys or its hate, ’Twere better li e were not too long. Lest be live till the end of the song Closes in on the weary refrain, • ‘Lost stars may not kindle again.’* Lost. Their Positions. AH the railroad companies are very particu lar about civility being shown to the public, with, perhaps, one exception, known to most railroadmen; but even that company has now improved in this respect, as well as in many others, says Chambers' Journal. A bald headed director ot this company was traveling with some strangers, and at one'of the statious one of them asked the name of the place. A porter pointed to the name-board, remarking “ Can’t you read?” The director was some what vexed, but said nothing. At the next station another of the pas sengers asked if they changed there for A . “Sit still and don’t bother this ain’t a junction," the porter replied. 1 he’ director, who was much surprised at the in civdity of the porer, toid the strangers who he was. and expressed regret that they had been so spoken to. “I will see, however,’’ he said “if they will speak in the same way to me. 4 ’ At the next station he put his bead out of the win dow, but got no ones attention until the train was moving off, when a porter came up and shouted to him: “Keep your bald head in, old duffer, or you’ll catch cold.” He fumed with rage, but the strangers seemed to enjoy his de feat. Tnere was troub'e at those three stations the next day, and three faces were seen no more on those platforms. Ate All but the “Bone and Tail.’* The way in which children put things is often very droll from the association of ideas which it shows must exist in their mind*, says the Bos ton Transcript. They have so much to learn that it is no wonder that it takes them a great while to separate their ideas, so as to keep things from being jumbled up in their thoughts and in t heir speech. In a San Francisco kindergarten one day the teacher distributed a little basket of cherries which had been sent in by a friend, and so many were the children that there proved to be but one cherry for each child. It is the rule that when there is any treat of this sort the children shall wait un il all are ready. On this occasion, however, one small boy positively could not restrain his eagerness, and the teacher saw him nibbling at tue dainty before th word was given “Johnny," she said, pleasantly, “I am afraid you have eaten your cherry." He opened a little grimy flat, disclosing the stem and alone of the departed fruit. “Yes, ui'm," he answered cheerfully, “I’ve eaten all but the bone and the tail. *’ A Telegraph to the Brain From the stomach Is the great sympathetic nerve in the epigastrium, bet digestion become seriously disordered, and that disorder Is sure to find a reflection in symptoms which react dis- upon the organ of thought.

In fact.’’ There has been discovered about half a mile west of the "Bargytown Ledges,” in Connecti cut, a twirling stone of about five tons’ weight. It has always been regarded as a bowlder, and, from the way it is poised on therocz beneath it, no one could see why it should not rock. “Hundreds have tried to rock it in vain, and the surpns ■ of the man who first felt it move tin ler pressure may be imagined." It mov s hard, of course, but it moves as if it were placed upon a pivot. It has been carefully examined, and. while it looks likea bowlder, several allege that it must be a ceremonial stone set tnere by some prehistoric race. This rock is creating great in terest among the bowlder hunters of eastern Connecticut. Tbe Elkctrical Engineer cites a bit of its own experience with the long-distance tele phone to illustrate the remarkable facilities for the transaction of business that nave attended the evolution of the talking wire. The business manager of that journal had occasion recently to spend a day or two in this city, and while here he called up his office in New York, had a big batch of morning mail road to him over the wire, and dictated replies to a stenographer in New York. Sinee that occasion he has followed this method of attending to business upon every trip to this city. When that Cay arrives in which th re will be telephone connection over every line now covered by the telegraph the facilities for transacting business will be something startling to contemplate. When John G. Keadle of Talbot, Ind., left borne In 1801 as a volunteer in the Twentieth Indiana Regiment he took with him a lock of his young wife's and 3-months-old daughter’s hair, carefully enclosed in a Bible which was given him by his wife. He lost the Bible during a battle. A friend from Georgia, visiting George R. Harper, in Jefferson oounty, Indiana, tout how his relative, (’apt. Job Russell of Com pany A. Third Georgia regiment, had fund just such a Bible, with the name and all in it. Harper did not know Kneadle, but advertised the book in a Grand Army newspaper, saying it had been placed In his keeping. Keadle saw the advertisement, can e to Madison and recovered his treasure. The daughter is now 30 years old and married, but her mother is dead. During an etymology lesson, a mistress ob tained an answer from a girl which may be characterized both as ingenuous and ingenious. The lady was dealing with the common nouns and their cognate abstract forms. In order to insure that the class should thoroughly appre hend the subject of her discourse, she took care to put before them the very plainest ox ampes; such as (common noun) judge, (ab stract noun) justice; (common) coward, (abstract) cowardice, etc. She then surmised, that she might safely vent ure to elicit from the girls themselves a few examples of such cognate forms. Accordingly, toward the close of the lesson, she made the request. After some time, one child timidly raised her hand. “There’s n good girl," said the teacher; "now, what is your example of these common and abstract forms?” “please, ma’am." answered the girl, "(common) body, (abstract) bodice.’’ THK DIRECTOR GKNEHir, OF INDIRECT TAXES in France has just published the results of the vintage in 1890. It amounted to 27,116,327 hec tolitres, bring an Increase of 4,182.755 hecto litres on last y ear, but 2,260,763 less than the ave ago of the last ten years (1880-’B9i. The area under vine cultivation was L24IS hectares less than in 1839, a proof that the efforts to re store this branch of farming are not succeeding. Tuis is far rrom the average produce of 50,000,- 000 hectolitres, as about the year 1870. The average price of the hectolitre has fallen from 3Sf. to 36f.; but taking into account the great increase in quality or this year’s produce, the total value (988,794.000f., or, in round numbers, £39.551,760), is greater by about 107,726,000f., (about £1,309,000). The average production was 15 hectolitres per hectare, against 13 last year. The manufacture of artiflc al wines is on the increase, amounting for 1890 to 2,429,285 hecto litres, being 605,156 hectolitres. or over 3# per cent., more than last year. No allowance is, of course, made in these figures f r illicit manu facture. Sweetened wines amounted to 1,947.- 000 hectolitres, or 468,000 (over 30 per cent.) more than last year.

The travelers left Odessa in the early snmmer, and. crossing the Caspian, reacbe l Osh, ia the heart of Central Asia, in May. They were ac companied by a Russian and a Persian inter pr ter, and six or seven followeis. After fol lowing the Guleha river the three passes crossed were from 12,000 to 14,560 feet high. The Bash ttambaz pass was blocked with snow, so the Alichur river was followed, and the Khargosh Paßs crossed, after which a descent was made to Kila Panjab, in Afghan territory The scenery is described as magnificent, a high range with glorious peaks bounding the view to the south, separating the Pamir from Wakhan. Crossing the Kojigit Pass, tne party reached the Little Pamir, and then, going a ong the Wakba i river, arrived at Sarbad July 12. Sarhad is in Afghan territory, and the Afghans were friendly, though there appears at first to have been some commotion, the party being suspected of being spies. A halt of ten days had to be made to fit the travelers for the arduous work of crossing the Hindu Kush Crossing the Warhan and over the Darkot Pass they arrived on Aug. 2 at digit, where they were welcomed by Lieut. Manners Smith and Dr. Roberts. Instead of seeking in Phoenicia, the primitive home of the alphabets of our modern world, we shall have to look for it in Arabia. Canon Isaac Taylor, in his “History of t ie Alphabet,” had al eady found himself compelled by palteo graphic evidence to assign a much earlier date to the alphabet of South Ara >ia than that which had previously lean ascritelto ir.and the discoveries ot (i aser anu’Hcmmel show that he was right. As soon as we reverse the problem and assume that the Phcenic an alphabet is Hter instead of oarlier than the Minaen, we obtain an explanation of much that has hitherto been puzzling The names given to many of the Phoenician letters are at last fount toagree with the fo ms of the latter It is only in the South Arabian alphabets, for instance, that the letter called “pe," “the mouth," our P. has the form of a mouth, or that the first letter "aleph,” “an ox,” resembles the head of that animal. Moreover, we can now understand how it is that the South Arabian alpnabets posses* letters which do not occur in the Phoenician alphabet, and are not derived from any of the Phoenician characters. The Phoenician language has lost ce tain sounds whicn comparative pbllologc has shown be longed to tue Semitic parent speech, and which were preserved in the languages of Arabia. That these sounds should have b en represented b special symbols in the Arabian alpnabets, if the latter had been borrowed from the de.ect ive alphabet of Phoenicia, is unintelligible in suchfca case“the symbols would have been modifications of other symbols already existing in the alphabet, or else the same symbol would have been allowed to express more than one sound. This has actually hap h ued in Hebrew, where the same symbols stand respectively for 'atn and ghain.tors ands). There can be but one explanation of the fact that the Ara lan alphabets denote by independent symbols certain sounds wbieb had been lost in Pbienician pronunciation; the Arabiah alphabets are more primitive than the alphaoet of Phoenicia. When the latter first comes before us it is in a comparatively late and conventionalized form, widely removed from the hieratic chai aoters of Egvpt, out of which It is commonly supposed to have been de veloped.
