The Enemy Will Not Attack the An- zac Positions Again After the Ter- rible Losses They Sustained. London, Sept. 20.--A description of the fighting in the Anzav region on the Gallipoli peninsula during the last week in August and the result achieved during this period is given by the Dardanelles correspondent of Reuters Telegram Compady. The capture of Hill 60 was impor- tant says the correspondent, as it is the last crest of the last ridge separ- ating the Anzac zone from the plains to the north, and thus constitutes a point of union between the British forces in the Anzac position and the line across the Suvla plain, besides giving access to a ravine leading tc high ground beyond it. ¥ The Turks, he says, clung to the hill with the utmost determination and when they were thrown out of their trenches would fight their wa) back again, accepting terrible losses wiifiinchingly to regain the lost ground, with the result that when the trenches finally were captured they were filled with Turkish dead: It took three days to oust the Turks and the ground around, he says is still thickly strewn with their bodies and those of British soldiers who fell in the assaults. It is computed, declares the corres- pondent that the Turks lost 5,000 men before they surrendered the po- sition. The Indian brigade and the Connaught rangers took part in the fighting with the Australians and New Zealanders. The correspondent expresses the opinion that 'the Turks will not at- tack the Anzac positions again after the terrible losses they sustained ic previous attacks. They did succeed, he adds, in sweeping twa British bat talions off a ridge that previously had been won by the New Zealanders, but when they got across the cres into the ravine below they came un der the fire of British machine guns. "They came down in thousands,' said a staff officer of the New Zea land brigade; "they went back in hundreds," the correspondent's story continues. Machine gunners, he says claim that 5.000 were killed. Danger to this part of the line, the correspondent thinks, could only comé through physical overstrain ol the troops, as they have made the po. sition virtually impregnable. The Turkish batteries still make it exeit- ing for landing jarties, but once as- hore ®aere is now plenty of cover for the 'mien: MISSIONARIES ESCAPED From Turkish Armenia, Where Thousands Were Massacred. Petrograd, Sept. 18, via Loudon, Sept, 19.--Dr. Clarence D, Ussher, Mr. and Mrs. Yarrow, and thirteen other persons comprising the mis- sionary staff at Van, Turkish Arme- nia, passed through Petrograd to-day on their way to Bergen, Norway, hav- ing had to abandon to pillage and flame the result of seventy years' work at Van. 8 Aged but dauntless, Mrs. Reynolds broke her leg in the hurried flight from Van, and died at Tiflis two days before her husband reached there from America. Mrs. Ussher died of typhus fever shortly :before the flight. Dr. Ussher was attacked the same day as his wife was stricken. He still is scarcely able to walk, al- though he has recovered from the disease, h * The Urumiah missionaries report tthat that city was spared a massa: cre on the occasion of the second flight of people from it.

The History of Man Began When an Alphabet Was Devised. Perhaps the most valuable inven- tion after the making of languages was that of writing gays a writer in "Student's luvestigations" Picture writing was the first used by primi tive men, such as was and still is used by the Indian tribes of the new world, The characters in this system of writ ing were pictures of objects very crude in art, as for instance the picture of the eye, to indicate the organ of sight, and then again symbols for ideas were drawn, such as a picture of ap arc, representing the sky and wavy lines beneath, thus indicating rain. This system of representing ideas and ob- jects, which is the most natural to man, is known as ideographic, and the signs are called ideograms. When the picture writer used sym- bols td represent the sounds of the human voice--that is, words and not objects or ideas--he took a great step in perfecting the system of writing. When symbols are used to represent words the ideogram becomes a phono- gram, and the writing is called pho- netic or sound writing. The Babyloni- ans and Adsyrians used characters to represent syllables instead of words, thus reducing the number of signs gsed in their writing to a few hun- dred. When characters or symbols are used to represent syllables they are called syllabic phonograms, and a collection of such signs Is called a sy! labary. But still this system was clumsy; and a final step was taken in the mak- ing of an alphabet, the symbols being used to represent elementary sounds of the human voice instead of sylla- bles. The symbols then became true letters, a collection of which is called the alphabet, the writing alphabet. When and where the first alphabet was made is not known, but several Semitic tribes were in possession of an alphabet as early as the ninth cen- tury B. C, It may trutbfully be said that the history of man begins here, for without an alphabet records, dates, names and events could not have been recorded and preserved for us. MINIATURE TREES. Simple Plan by Which Plants May Be Dwarfed In the Growing, © For many centuries the Japanese have closely guarded the secret of growing miniature trees. Indeed, un- til recently they did not allow the trees to be taken out of the country; wealthy people keep them as art treasurers. Now, in America, dwarf trees bring a good price and are used as house plants and table decorations. By following the plan here described almost any one can raise diminutive trees with little trouble. . Get a few large, thick skinned oranges and halvg them. Remove the pulp and cover the outside of the skins with thick shellac, That will keep the skins from shriveling. I'ill the skins with fine, rich solk.and plant therein a seed of whatever tree you wish to raise--or rather two or three seeds, to insure at least one good speci men. Make § stand of some kind so that the growing tree can be kept im an upright position and set the plants where they will get plenty of sun, but do not keep them in a room that is likely to become overheated. Water them regularly. but not too profusely. After a time the roots will begin to come through the orange peel. When that happens cut the roots off flush with the outer surface of the orange peel, but be careful not to injure the film of shellac. It is the cutting of the roots that stunts the plants. When the tree has reached maturity you can transfer it to a more attractive holder. Conifers such as cedars, pines and crypfomerias can be readily stunted; so also can other evergreens, as flex and Citrus trifoliata. Some dwarf cedars have beén known to live more than 500 years. Frult trees, such as the orange and plum, blossom and bear perfect fruit--~Youth's Companion.

Part Was Cooked and the Other Part Swam Around Till Needed, Not many years ago, being one of the few. foreigners permitted to reside in the interior of Japan, 1 was favored with this interesting experience: Living near a small fishing village and out of convenient reach of the treaty ports, I found it necessary to content myself to a great extent with Y native subsistence. However, a daily supply of delicious living fish went far to compensate for the absence of beef steak and bread and butter. The peddlers of fish carry thelr finny merchandise in shallow tubs filled with water, suspended from the ends of a yoke across the shoulders, In this fashion. they trot along for miles on their rounds. Having the advantage of first choice, I could usually sélect one of a size suitable for the day's needs, but one morning they were all entirely too large, and when .it was pointed out that the smallest was double the size wanted he replied: "Oh, but you can cut it In two; use half today, the other half tomorrow." This suggestion would seem simple enough in American markets, but when he was told that stale fish. was und sirable he explained that the remaining half would be as lively tomorrow or any day thereafter until used; that the operation would not hurt the fish in the slightest respect. At this point curiosity prompted me to direct the flip vivisectionist to proceed with his barbarous act.' He immediately laid one of the fish on a board and placed his long, keen edged knife just back of the gills and quickly sliced off all of one side down to the tail and so close to the ribs that you could almost see them. The part containing the vital organs was return- ed to the water, where, of course, ow- ing to loss of equilibrium, it turned on its side. But to my astonishment it swam round lively as ever, seemingly undisturbed by the loss of so much flesh, and remained so until the next day when I was ready to cook it. My native friends smiled at the sug- gestion of cruelty and related the story of a distinguislied dalmio who caught a fish sliced in this manner that had been placed in the river years before and lived this long time happy and lively as other fish. But the idea of carving a living fish made me shudder, and I never tried it 4gain.--C. D, Wek don, in New York Tribune. SYMBOLS AS SHOP SIGNS. A Legacy From the Old Days When but Few Persons Could Read. The man on the street, and especially the man on the street in Manbattan, does not realize that he is every day perpetuating in the signs that he uses the customs of a people who could not read. In the old days it was useless 'to put up the sign "apothecary," because féw could read it. So the apothecary decorated his shop front with a mortar and pestle as a sign of his trade. We can read now, most of us, but we cling. to signs of this sort still, The symbol lingers. Here and there a barber tries to throw off its yoke by painting a sign that reads "tonsorial parlor," but the mal barber shop proudly sets up its totem pole; which retains as a tradi tion tbe silent but eloquent testimony of the former practice on the part of the barber of blood letting. § Similarly' the pawnbroker hangs up his trinity of gelden balls because the original pawnbroking business. was started by a Medicl, whose coat of arms was charged with three golden balls on a field of silver. The wooden Indian signifies a to bacco store because 1t' was from the Indians that the idea of smoking origs nally came. The noble red man has thus been debased and doomed to hold forth in effigy a bunch of cigars to both the willing and the unwiliing. : A boot that swings as a sign says plainly to every man, "This is a shoe shop." | The shoes within will wear themselves out in the service of those' who buy them. A large wooden watch can mean only one thing, and that is thet the sign owner is a horologist.-- New York Mall, I ---- -- A Dry Land Boat Race.
