Washington’s Spring
The first thing that greets the eyes
of a stranger alighting from the train
at Cold Spring, a village resting snug
ly in (he highlands of the Hudson, Is
Washington's spring, inclosed by three
bowlders in the rough, which, as one
approaches, are seen to contain a tiny
pool of spouting water. An Inscrip
tion in relief upon the bronze plale
announces that “General George Wash
ington. In frequent visits to the Arneri
can troops encamped near by during
the war of the Revolution, drank of
this spring and gave it its name, Cold
spring.”
The encampments referred to were
principally upon the famous Constitu
tion island, just below, to which was
attached one end of the great chain
which was stretched across the river
to West Point and checked navigation
by the British warships during the
Revolution.
TRIED TO BE NICE.
But Fannie Made an Awful Meae of It
With the Old Lady.
“When Fannie Is hent upon pleasing,"
sighed Fannie's younger sister, •“she
can make a horrible mess of
things. Last Sunday Charlie Evans,
having arrived at the point where be
felt he wanted his family’s opinion of
me, invited us both up to take tea
with Ills mother. The minute 1 laid
eyes on his mother I knew Fannie
would get lu trouble—she simply can’t
help getting uervously foolish when
there’s a religious person around.
“Charlie’s mother kissed us and. ad
dressing herself to Fannie as the elder,
said something about our being very
sweet to come and see a daughterless
old woman. Whereat Fannie looked
at Charlie and his two brothers and
replied feelingly that it must be a ter
rible disappointment to have only
them. Mrs. Evans, to rectify my sis
ter’s misapprehension, told us proudly
that she had three more sons, not pres
ent
“By this time Fannie realized that
she hnd made a bad beginning and
leaped further In with the supposition
that the other three were off having a
good time instead of moping at home.
The older lady drew herself up und
said severely:
“ ‘My three sons are lu heaven, Miss
Barues.’
“‘Oh. how awful!’ came Fannie's
ready gasp.
“‘No, not awful at all!’ and Mrs
Evans was positively glaring at us. ‘1
fee! that they were specially blessed
in being allowed to pass thus early to
their Lord. They died ns little chil
dren.’
“ ‘Dear me, how glad you must have
been!’ blurted out flustered Fannie.
“By this time 1 had kicked a hole In
her ankle, and that quieted her for
awhile. She might have kept still for
the rest of the evening hnd not her pet
subject, the higher education of wo
man, come up for the old Indy’s disap
proval. Then Fannie made n hand
spring Into the conversation by re
marking that when we had more edu
cated mothers there would be less in
fant mortality.
“And, mind you. Fannie was really
trying to be nice for my sake.”—New
York Times.
THE WORD “ALPHABET.”
It Comes Through the Greeks and He
brews From Phoenicia.
When we speak of our A B C's ns
our “alphabet” we are using a word
hoary with age, that, as far back as
we can trace it, came from tlie eastern
shore of the Mediterranean sea, thou
sands of years before the Hebrews
went up there and took possession of
the land of Canaan. Back of the peo
ple who occupied that land before the
events of Exodus were written we are
not able to trace the word, for we
have not sufficient knowledge of them
or of their etymological history before
we find them in Canaan.
It has been only within recent yea
that we have been able to know that
the word "alphabet’’ came to us from
ilie Phoenicians. Before that we sup
posed that it came to us from the He
brews, through tlie Greek. As we say
“A B C” the Greeks say "alpha beta"
(the first two letters of their alphabet),
which when it reached us became "al
phabet.’’ This we supposed had come
to the Greeks from the Hebrews, who
called their first two letters "alph" and
“befh.” but since then we have found
that both the Greeks and Ibe Hebrews
got the word •‘alphabet” from the same
source, which was tlie Phoenicians.
The people of Phoenicia had the
same letters, "alph” and "both.” which
have suffered but little change In
sound down to enr A and B. Alph
meant simply an ox. the sign of It
being a conventional ox’s head, with
the lower part of tlie face turned
slightly to its right, and bet*h meant a
house, which was pictured by the rude
outline of a primitive dwelling, which
had a superfluous line added to dis
tinguish it from other characters very
like it. as we place a tall on a Q to
distinguish it from an O. So the first
two letters of our A B C's were orig
inally an ox and a house and gave
the name of nil of the twenty-six let
ters which we call our “alphabet.”—

Nietzsche and the Invalid.
An invalid Indy who often met
Nietzsche found him the gentlest, kind
est and most sypmathetlc of men. He
“implored her with tears In his eyes
not to read his books.” Such was his
knowledge of women that he was
thunderstruck to find shortly after
ward that-the lady at once proceeded
to read them all. He was further
stupefied by the discovery that, hav
ing read them, she was utterly un
moved by the philosopher’s unanswer
able demonstrations that feeble per
sons like herself had no right to live
and that women were distinguished by
this, that and the other objectionable
attribute. It must have been a blow
to him.—London News.

KIDNAPERS CAUGHT.
Willie Whita, the boy Who was
kidnaped from school in Sharon,
Pa., was returned to his father at
Cleveland, Ohio, Monday night.
Mr. Whita admitted that he had
paid 810,000 to a woman in a candy
store who acted for the kidnapers.
Governor Stewart, of Pennsylvania,
offered a reward of 81-5,000 for the
arrest and capture of the kidnap
ers. A man and woman were ar
rested at Cleveland Tuesday and the
woman confessed. She is a weK
known woman of Sharon, acquitted
with the Whita family and the press
dispatches read somewhat peculiar
between the lines.
