"How'd you know that woman

the controller was thrown mi a;.aiu
and the car started with a jerk.
"Just felt it," he lanjhed; "didn't

It's 6one sort of power, I guess,

This patiert knight of the motor
voiced one ot the mo't bewildering
psychological t;uths found in the
entire downtown propaganda, where
about every nip and tuck of the hu

findd n shining place. Taking met

are few who do not use intuition in
the course of the average workduy.

The mahout, sitting on the ele

The elephant is not bitted and

Forettt and Deserte.
Whole provinces of the Tibctar.
borders of China have been convert
ed into uninhabitable, sandy desert,
which centuries ago were fertile and
well watered and supported rich
cities, apparently in consequence of
the destruction of forest. The
formation of desert is due in the
first place to the destruction of for
est, the consequent formation of a
barren, sandy area and the subse
quent spreading of the "disease" or
"desert ulcer" by the blowing of
the fatally exposejj sand. Sand des
erts are not, as used to be supposed,
sea bottoms from which the water
has retreated, but areas of destrue
tion of vegetation often both in
central Asia and in north Africa
started by the deliberate destruction
of forest by man, either by artificial
drainage starving the forest or by
the simple use of the ax or fire.

AN EXCITING GAME.
Buddy Taught It to Hia Grandma and
Explained It to Hia Father.
There is a good old lady living
not far from Woodward avenue and
the boulevard who looks upon all
games of cards us a menace to the
soul of man. There is not a play
ing card in her daughter's home,
where she resides, and the per.-on
convicted of indulging in solitaire,
casino, euchre or any similar pas
time forfeits that old ladv's esteem
and wins in its place her sineere
and deep sympathy.

things behind him when he married
was startled to hear his son exclaim:
"I'll see you and raise you three,
grandma!"
On the family 6cwing table grand
ma and the young man were playing
an exciting game. They were using;
a pack of cards designed for a game
known as our feathered friends and
a dish of beans. On each card was
the picture of a different kind of
bird.
Presently grandma in an excited
tone piped up:
"Xow, Buddy, you forgot to ante
again."
Father became interested. Grand
ma stayed up until 9 o'clock, half
an hour past her bedtime, and when
she reluctantly arose she said:
"Well, Buddy, 1 have nineteen
more bean3 than you have, and I'll
get all of yours away from you to
morrow night."
"My son," said father after grand
ma had left the room, "what's the
game vou were playing with grand
ma?"' "It's called beano," said hit son.
"You see, these cards are divided
into four groups birds of prey,
songbirds. game birds and domestic
fowls. There are thirteen of each,
and they arc graded. The eagle,
lark, grouse and turkey count the
highest. The dealer gives each
player five cards, and each one can
lay aside as many as he wants and
draw as many more. Everybody
puts one bean in the middle of the
table at the beginning"
"I er think I understand," said
father. "Let you and I play a
little game, so's you ran teach mr
how."
There was a wickedly reminis
ent smile on father's face as he
pulled the last of Buddy's beans at

Punctuation.
In the earliest tatin inscriptions
and manuscripts no system of punc
tuation is followed. ., The full point
(.) was gradually introduced, being
placed on the level, middle or top
of the letters. In the minuscule
manuscripts of the eighth, ninth
and following centuries the period,
on the line or high, was first used:
then the comma and semicolon and
Mie iaverted semicolon, whose pow
;r was rather stronger than that of
the comma. Some say that the
Caroline minuscules of the ninth
century exhibit the note of interro
gation, for which the inverted semi
colon, which was gradually dropped,
may have furnished the mark. The
Greeks use the semicolon as an in
terrogation point. In English the
colon is 'said to have been intro
duced about 1485, the comma about
1501 and the semicolon about 1570.
In Sir Philip Sidney's "Arcadia''
(1587) all the punctuation points
appear, including the note of inter
rogation, asterisk and parentheses.
