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.”— New York Herald. 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. Naturally the tariff on stock ngs will Help to keep them up. -Au gusta Chronicle. / 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. P. h. S. GLIB. Hoschton —On last Priday even ing the P. K. S.
