STlINED GLASS.

In 1870 there was celebrated at
Tegernsee. Bavaria, the 90oth anniver-
sary of the stained-glass factory there.
For period, dark age in art, the
method of staining was lost, and its
revival is thus explained. An English
man, bargaining at Nurenlburg early in
this century for some fragments of old
stained glass, remarked before enc Sieg-
mund Frank, cabinet varnisher, that
there was fortune for any one who
could revive the lost art. Frank took
the hint, and got the sympathy of the
Government. In 1915 an establishment
was opened at Munich, under Mr..
Ainmuller, who had been associated
with Frank, which has become world
famous. Within recent Years England
has rivaled Munich in this art industry.

Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher, had
awonderful memory, and his knowledge
OF English literature was SO great that,
when friend wished to know where a
particular passage was to be found in an
English author, he would 60 direct to
the famous bibliopole. A would-be wit,
thinking to quiz him before company
at dinner, informed his friends, previous
to Mr.. Fields arrival, that he had just
written some lines, which he intended
to submit to him as Southey's, and to
inquire in which of his works they oc-
CURED. After the guests were seated,
he began: Friend Fields, I have been
a good deal troubled of late in searching
out in Southey's poems his wcll-known
lines running thus"-repeating the lines
he had composed. "Can you tell me
when he wrote them and where they are
to be founa?" 81 do not remember to
have met with them BEFORE" replied the
publisher; "and there were only two
periods in Southey's life when such
lines could possibly have been written
by him." "When were those?' 'Some-
where" said Mr.. Fields, "about that
early period OF his existence when he
was having the measles or cutting his
first teeth or near the close Of his life
when his brain had soitened. The versi-
fication belongs to the measles period,
but the IDEAS betray the idiotic one"
The company roared.

Presidents and Their Faith.

All the Presidents were, with. one 81
oeption, men who respected Christianity
Washington and Garfield, however, ven
the only ones who were church commu
picants. Adams married clergyman's
daughter (Abigail Smith,, but he did
not accept her views. He was inclined
to Unitarianism, which, in his day, was
becoming very prevalent in Massachu-
sets. Jefferson was not a believer in
Christianity, ut least while President.
He had, during his residence in France,
become skeptical, and his election ives
opposed by some on the score of inf.
deity. After Tom Paine had written
the cage of Reason" Jefferson invited
him to return to America, which was
understood to be direct recognition and
acceptance OF his opinions. Infdelity,
Mt that time, was SO fashionable that, In
polite society, it was rather eccentric to
avow different opinions. Madison, while
student at Princeton College, was of .
religious turn, but it wore off under the
cares of Office. His early religious con-
nectiops were Presbyterian. Monroe is
said to have favored Fpiscopacy. John
Quincy Adams was inclined to Unitarian
ism. Jackson was Methodist and died
i'll the communion of that church. Van
Buren, was brought up in the Reformed
Dutch church, but atterward became in
clined to EpiscopacY. Harrison favored
the Methodist. Tyler was al Episcopa-
liam. Polk was baptized l,y Methodist
preacher after his term of Office had ex-
PRED. Taylor favored Episcopacy. Fill
more attended the Unitarian church.
Frank Pierce was o member Of the Con-
gregationalist society in Concord, though
not commitment. Buchanan was
Presbyterian. Lincoln attended Cur.
ley's church rs often as he could, but
was not member, though his religious
convictions were deep Washington

What Is MythOlogyi

On the one hand philelogy has shown
that o myth Ia an attempt to explain
SOME natural phenomenon by endowing
with human feelings and capacities the
senseless factors in tho phenomenon, rs
when the ancient Hindoo explained q
thunderstorm as the smiling of Vritra
by the unerring Shafts OF Indra. On
the other hand brief survey Of barbaric
supersttlous bas shown how nncuitured
man, by the best use he could make of
his rude common sense, has invariably
come to regard all objects as endowed
with souls, and oil nature as peopled
with supra-human entities shaped after
the general pattern of humanity. Thus
is suggested natural mode Of genesis
Tor the personiication of which mythol-
ogy is made up. As the Moslem camel
driver regards the deadly simeon as
malignant demon, so we need not won
der that the Greeks in prehistoric times
should have personified tho wind 40
hermes, or the sun rs an unerring
archer, or an unwearyipg travelek, Or an
inyincible hero. When we know that
some p aople believe pots and kettles to
have souls that live hereafter, there l.
not much difficulty in understanding
how other people have deifed the blue
sky as the sire of Gods and men. We
see, moreover, that these personifyinR
stories are not parallels or allegories, but
sober explanations Of natural phenom-
ena. Where we have recourse to some
elaborate scientific tkeorem, the ancient
was content with telling q myth. It is
only after ages Of philosophizing that it
begins to seeln plausible to regard the

pended III the atmosphere, or the moon
as o great planetary body covered with
extinct volcanoes. In primeval times it
WAS much easier to call the cloud rock,
or huge bird, Or Centaur, and to
burn incense to the moon as the chaste
goddess arteinis Of the silver bow. Thus
the study OF anthology, when pursued
on the wide scale indicated in the pres
ent paper, throws light Of no uncertain
character on The thoughts and mental
habits Of primitive men, as well as ON
countless superstitious beliefs and Gus.
toms which have survived in relatively
high stages Of culture. And perhaps
there is no better evidence of the pro-
foundly philosophic character Of con-
temporary scholarship than the pains
which it is taking to investigate method
ically the legends and sayings which
formerly we're either thought unworthy
OF serious study, or were treated AZ sub !
