These two ideas may be associated in whatever way may seem best, yet, in such a manner to secure, that on the former being presented to the mind, the arithmologue will at once arise with it. From this example it will be seen, that it is always desirable to form such arithmologues as may be, in some manner, characteristic of the subject.
In dealing with dates b.c., consisting of four figures or a plurality of thousands, it is best to have two words of two numeral equivalents each to represent them. In dates a.d. of more than the thousand, the initial figure 1 may be disregarded in the formation of the arithmologue, as no ambiguity or confusion can possibly arise from doing so.
Example. Coaches were first used in England A.D. 1589.
Here we reject the figure 1, and form an arithmologue for 589 to associate with the idea coaches, whence we get all for 5, and shake for 89.
Thus, coaches—all shake.
The foregoing plan may be made equally available for longitudes and latitudes, fractions, and most purposes where figures are employed.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine (popes)

Edition of 1905. See also the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE The name of two popes.—Constantine I. (Pope 708–15). His pontificate was marked by the submission of Felix, Archbishop of Ravenna, to the supremacy of Rome, and by his voyage to Constantinople, at the invitation of Justinian II., to confirm the decrees of the Quinisextan Council, which his immediate predecessor had refused to do.—Constantine II. (Pope 767–68). He was forced into the see by his brother, Duke Toto of Nepi, but within a few months was overthrown and blinded by an opposing faction, his deposition being solemnly confirmed by the Lateran Synod of 769, which laid down the rule that the Pope must be chosen from the College of Cardinals.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine II.

Edition of 1905. See also Constantine II (emperor) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE II., or Junior, Flavius Claudius Constantinus. A Roman Emperor (A.D. 337–40). He was the eldest son of Constantine the Great, and was born A.D. 317, at Arelate (Arles), in Gaul. He became joint Emperor with his brothers, Constantius and Constans, on the death of their father, in 337, receiving Gaul, Britain, Spain, etc., as his share of the Empire. In 340 he invaded the dominions of Constans, and was killed in the battle of Aquileia (A.D. 340).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine VII.

Edition of 1905. See also Constantine VII on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE VII., Porphyrogenitus (905–59). A Byzantine Emperor. He became, at the age of six, associate Emperor with his father, Leo VI., at seven the associate of his uncle, and at eight sole ruler; but in reality he was the ruler only after the death of his fatherin-law, Romanus (q.v.), in 944. Even then, he paid more attention to literature than to State affairs, leaving the latter to his wife Helena. It is reported that he was poisoned by the wife of his son Romanus, who was his successor. He wrote a life of his grandfather, Basil I., and a number of political works, including: On the Themes; On the Ceremonies at the Court of Constantinople; and On the Administration of the Empire. Some of his works are published, in three volumes, in the Bonn edition of the Byzantine Historians. Consult: Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzantinischen Litteratur (Nördlingen, 1891); Rambaud, L'empire grec au X$^e$ siècle; Constantin Porphyrogénète (Paris, 1869).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine XI.

Edition of 1905. See also Constantine XI Palaiologos on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE XI., Paleologus (1404—53). The last of the Byzantine emperors. He was the son of the Emperor Manuel II., and from 1427 to 1446 was engaged in almost continuous warfare against the Frankish princes of the Peloponnesus. His brother, the Emperor John VIII., died in 1448, and Constantine became Emperor. He entered Constantinople in 1449, and showed himself an intelligent, brave, and resolute ruler, but his position was a hopeless one. Mohammed II. was preparing for the final assault on Constantinople, and Constantine appealed in vain to the princes of Christendom. A long siege preceded the capture of the city, which was finally accomplished May 29, 1453. In the desperate battle waged at the gates of the city Constantine fell, slain by some unknown hand. Mohammed gave his body honorable burial. Consult Miyatovitch, Constantine, the Last Emperor of the Greeks (London, 1892). See Byzantine Empire.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine, Konstantin Nikolayevitch

Edition of 1905. See also Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE Konstantin Nikolayevitch (1827–92). A Grand Duke of Russia, the second son of Emperor Nicholas I. and brother of Alexander II. He was grand admiral of the Russian fleet, and, in addition, held numerous military offices. During the Crimean War he commanded the Russian fleet in the Baltic, and directed the defensive preparations which held the English and French armaments in check before Cronstadt. He earnestly supported his brother’s liberal reform plans, and endeavored in many ways to promote the cause of enlightenment in Russia. He was appointed Governor of Poland in 1862, but failed in his attempts to reconcile the Poles, and resigned soon after the outbreak of the Revolution in 1863. In January, 1865, he was appointed president of the Council of the Empire. On the accession of his nephew, Alexander III., he was deprived of most of his offices, and soon retired altogether from public life.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine, Konstantin Pavlovitch

Edition of 1905. See also Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE, Konstantin Pavlovitch (1779–1831). A Grand Duke of Russia, the second son of the Emperor Paul I. After the Congress of Vienna, the government of the newly created kingdom of Poland was intrusted to him by his brother, the Emperor Alexander I. In January, 1822, on his divorce and remarriage out of the ranks of royalty, he executed a private deed by which he resigned his claims to the throne in the event of Alexander’s death, and, when that event took place in 1825, he adhered to this resignation, although he had meanwhile, in his absence, been proclaimed Emperor in Saint Petersburg. The succession thus fell to his younger brother Nicholas. The character of Constantine’s administration in Poland was not such as to conciliate any class of the people, and a widespread conspiracy was formed. The Revolution of July (1830) in France supplied the spark which was needed to kindle the revolution in Poland, and he was obliged to flee for his life. He died soon after of the cholera.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine (Crown Prince of Greece)

Edition of 1905. See also Constantine I of Greece on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE (1868–), Duke of Sparta, Crown Prince of Greece. He was born in Athens, and studied at the universities of Berlin and Leipzig. In 1889 he married the Princess Sophia of Prussia, sister of Emperor William II. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Greek troops operating against the Turkish forces under Edhem Pasha, in Thessaly, in March, 1897, and conducted the retreat from Dhomokos in May of that year. See Greece; Turkey.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine, Arch of

Edition of 1905. See also Arch of Constantine on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE, Arch of. A famous arch at Rome, between the Palatine and Cælian hills, southwest of the Coliseum, at the junction of the Sacred and Triumphal ways. It was erected in A.D. 315, to commemorate the Emperor Constantine’s victory over Maxentius. The arch is the best-preserved ancient monument of Rome, probably because the fact that its builder was a Christian Emperor saved it from destruction during the devastations of the Middle Ages. It has three openings and four columns on each face. Little more than the brickwork was contemporary with Constantine, the marble facing, the statues of the Dacian kings, the eight columns, and the entablature having been taken from other buildings, especially from a destroyed arch of Trajan.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine, Basilica of

Edition of 1905. See also Basilica of Maxentius on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE Basilica of. A vast basilica begun by Maxentius and completed by Constantine, on the site of a former market at Rome. It had a nave over 100 feet high and 80 broad, supported on eight white marble columns, of which one is now standing in front of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The entrance, originally facing the Coliseum, was later changed to the north, facing the Sacred Way. The preserved portions of the basilica have served as a cattle-shed, a riding-school, a hayloft, and a drilling-place for recruits. The vaulting of the south aisle is still standing.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Constantine, Baths of

Edition of 1905. See also Baths of Constantine (Rome) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CONSTANTINE, Baths of. Enormous baths built by Constantine, covering nearly the whole breadth of the Quirinal Hill, in Rome. The only extant remains are some foundations seen in excavating the Via Nazionale, and a few blocks of marble now in the adjoining Colonna Gardens. The baths were demolished by Paul V., in 1610, and their site is now occupied by the Quirinal and Rospigliosi palaces. The figures known as the “Horse Tamers,” from which Monte Cavallo is named, stood in front of the baths, and here was found the colossal statue of Constantine.

# The Songs of Simple Simon

THE SONGS OF SIMPLE SIMON. II.—THE WALLOPING BANDOLIER.
ou may laugh if you will at this song of mine, You may greet my tale with a sneer, But you’ll never meet with so moving a lay As the Tale of the Bandolier.
A handsome young Bandolier was he (And they can be gorgeously gay), And full of spirit, and blithe and free, Was the Bandolier of my lay.
But, alas! that we cannot all perfect be!— I pause to remove a tear— He was—I grieve to say it—he was A Walloping Bandolier!
Now a Bandolier who wallops, you know, Is not a respectable person; And a delicate subject he is, by the way, For a poet to have to write verse on.
But with this particular Bandolier It was not an original habit, For to walloping, clearly, he ne’er had been prone If it hadn’t been for the Rabbit!
For one dark, dark night, when no moon was seen, When all was still on the sea, The Bad Rabbit came to the Bandolier And whispered, “Oh, come with me!
“Oh, come with me to the dark sea-shore, Where the waves break soft on the sand, And there you shall see a wonderful sight!” And he seized the Bandolier’s hand.
Away they went to the lonely beach, And they crouched down behind a rock, And—I know not what sight the Bandolier saw, But he never got over the shock!
Some say that they witnessed a Mermaids’ Dance, Some say that they saw the Graboon; Some say that they went in an ice-cream boat To visit the Man in the Moon.
They may be right or they may be wrong, The truth we never shall know; For the Rabbit has never been heard of since, He has gone where the Bad Rabbits go.
And the Bandolier sits weeping alone On the top of a lonely rock, And there he wallops the livelong day, For he’s never got over the shock!
And as he wallops, he mutters low Strange, incomprehensible words; And now he swims as the fishes swim, And now he flies like the birds.
You may laugh if you will at this tale of mine, You may greet this song with a sneer, But there surely can be no sadder sight Than a Walloping Bandolier!
Simple Simon.

LOVERS OF MUSIC, THE VIOLINIST
EDGAR DEGAS, PAINTER
By the Editor
THERE is nothing in life more beautiful than the reverence youth pays to age when the student recognizes the greatness of his master. At the funeral of Albert P. Ryder there was no pomp nor ceremony. The Academy, the Museum officials were noticeably absent. Charles de Kay was there, Arthur Davies, Kenneth Hayes Miller, a few close friends and a group of young men, his disciples, some of whom had never known him in the flesh, who had come to pay a last tribute to their master.
For several years after I reached Paris as a young man I painted to please one man, a man I had never seen, a man whom I never expected to see, nor did I suppose he would ever see my work. Yet I never finished a sketch that I did not wonder if it would please him. That man was Edgar Degas. One foggy day I had been painting in the Parc ​

MLLE. FIORI DANS LE BALLET DE LA SOURCE
We are about to have an opportunity for seeing the work of Degas such as we have never had in America. The collection of Jacques Seligmann is to be sold at auction by the American Art Association on the evening of January 27th. It will be placed on free public view Saturday, January 22nd.
Jacques Seligmann, who gave me my first lessons in connoisseurship, formed the collection with the intention of placing it in a gal​lery in connection with his country home. But building materials are scarce in France and labor is high so that Mr. Seligmann found the cost almost prohibitive. Therefore he renounced his project and the seventy-one paintings, pastels and drawings which he bought at the sale of the Degas studios are now to be dispersed.
Degas is one of the few painters who has deliberately left canvases without giving to all portions an equal finish. During the last forty years of his life he sold canvases which the layman would consider unfinished. He had seized, as no one else could, the essentials of his subject. Portions of the canvas would be fully realized, others barely blocked in. Everything essential to the full expression of the idea of the painting would be carefully executed. Whatever was unnecessary would be left in the rough. Rodin, in his sculpture, adopted the same method. With Degas, as with Rodin, it was intentional.

The Last Moose in Vermont. An Object Lesson to Acadians.
The Last Moose of Vermont.
The illustration upon the opposite page, tells a sad story, and needs but little comment, in order to point a moral.
We are indebted to Mr. John W.Titcomb, Commissioner, of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, for a copy of the Fifteenth Biennial Report of the Commissioners of Fisheries and Game for the State of Vermont, and from which, with the permission of Mr. Titcomb, the illustration which we give, is reproduced.
The story, as therein related, is, in brief, as follows: In March, 1899, a full-grown bull moose was killed at Wenlock, in the town of Island Pond, by Jake Barnes, assisted by one Boville. An abstract of the evidence reads:
"A man came to camp, saying he had seen a strange animal. Barnes and Boville started in pursuit. Barnes fired the first shot, and the moose only shook its head. The second shot hit the moose behind the ear and brought it down. Several persons saw the dead animal, and Eugene Hobson helped to skin it, and took its feet home. A search warrant was issued, and the head of the moose was found hanging at the camp in Wenlock, where Jake Barnes worked. It was seized, and after being photograped by Taxidermist Balch, was placed in pickle. It has since been mounted for the University at Burlington. The case was brought before a grand jury at Guildhall, in September, 1899, and although the evidence was very clear, and Barnes admitted that he shot it, no bill was found against the poachers or their accomplices."
Like the buffalo, which but a quarter of a century ago, were, as the sands of the sea, in number, upon the western prairies, but have now entirely disappeared, the moose is no longer to be found in such numbers, or over such a wide territory, as formerly, among our Acadian wild woods.
We are much indebted to our present Game Commissioners for the more rigid enforcement during recent years, of the laws relating to the preservation of wild animals. ​Nevertheless we cannot be too careful in a matter of this sort, and it is to be hoped that all poachers, or others, found guilty of any misdemeanor under the game laws, may be severely dealt with.
Prof. Ganong's scheme of a reservation of wild land, for the establishment of a National Game Preserve and Park, in the Acadian Provinces, is well worthy of every encouragement, and is one which we sincerely trust may be carried out.
A New Brunswick guide recently had his license cancelled by the Government, for breach of the laws, and, doubtless, all future trespassers will be dealt with in an equally stern manner.

Notes and Queries.
Can any of our readers inform us where we may obtain a copy of the work, published anonymously, at the St. John, N. B., Courier office in 1818, entitled:
"A Circumstantial, True and Impartial History of the Rise and Progress of the Interesting Town of St. Andrews, in New Brunswick, from its original settlement to the present era, containing a biographical sketch of the most eminent characters, whether legislative, judicial, magisterial, commercial, legal or medical, interpersed with hints for the improvement and other regulations of the timber trade."
Mrs. Jane Adeline Mulloch, of Campobello, asks for information concerning Thomas Kendrick and Mary Oraham, her grandparents, both U. E. Loyalists, who were married at St. Andrews. The date of their marriage, as well as the name of the ship in which Mr. Colin Campbell, father of the late postmaster at that town, came to St. Andrews, are also asked for.
