The Iron Crown.

During the middle ages the iron crown
was the subject of much interest and
superstition. It was a crown of gold,
having inside Of it a ring of iron, which
was said to have been forged from the
nails of Christ's cross, and it was made
by order of Princess Theudelinde for
her husband, Agilulf, king of the Lom-
bards. in the year sol. The crown was
a lerward given by the queen to the
church at Mona. Charlemagne used
this crown at the ceremony Of his corona
ton, and after him all the emperers who
were also kings of Lombardy made
similar use Of it. Napoleon l.. it is said,
when at Milan in 1906, put this crown
on his head, saving: "God has given
it to me woe to him who shall touch it.
The great weodman of Europe" as
Victor Hugo called Napoleon, founded
the Order of the Iron Crown, which still
exists in Austria. It fell into disuse
after Napoleen's fall, but was revived by
Francis J.. in 1916. and is now regarded
as a high honor in Austria. The iron
crown was taken by the Austrians tc
Vienna in 1883, but was presented tc
the king Of Italy in 1866, and is now
among the royal treasures in Naples

A Dog Tanning tine Baby.

Dog stories are always in order, pro-

OF the suburban wards owned a fine
specimen Of the spaniel breed, which is
very fond of children, and when any little
ones visit his masters house constitutes
himself their companion, playmate and
guardian. A few days ago a lady with
an infant visited the gentleman, and in
the course of the dav the child was laid
on a pillow on the floor to amuse itself
for q time. The dog took his place near
the little Que, as usual. The day was
hot and the flies bad, and they made the
baby tie target Of frequent attacks
This rendered her restless. Doggie

The difference between rising at five

SOCIAL SCIENCE.

We copy from Maculey a part of his
description of the social world as it pre-
sented itself in the seventeenth century,
and ask our readers one and all, especi-
ally the skeptic, to contrast it with our
own day and generation, and tell us
whether or not Christianity is myth, a
farce, as some writers will have it, a
barrier to the march of civilization. As
one leading journal expressed it not long
since, "The human race has advanced in
morals, in intelligence, to higher plane
than ever before reached, in spite of the
dogmas of so-called Christian teaching,
which operate only to cramp the mind
and stunt the growth of intellect.
There is scarcely page in the history of
higher literature of the seventeenth GEN.

that our ancestors were less human than
their posterity. The discipline Of work
Shops of schools, of private families,
though not more efficient than the pres.
ent, was infinitely hacde,. Masters, well
born and bred were in the habit of beat
ing their servants. PedagogEes knew no
way of imparting knowledge but by beat
ing their pupil. Husbands of decent
station were not ashamed to beat their
wives. The implacability Of hostile fac
tions was such as we can scarcely con-
ceive. Wings were disposed to murmur
because Stafford was suffered TO die with
out seeing his bowels burned before his
face. As little mercy was shown by
the populace to sufferers of more hum
BILE rank. If an offender was put in the
pillory it was well if he escaped with his
life from the shower Of brick bats and
paving stones. If he was tied to the
carts tail the crowd would press around
him, imploring the hangman to give it to
the fellow we'll and make him howl
Gentlemen arranged parties of pleasure tc
Bridewell on court days .or the purpose
of seeing the wretched women who bea'
hemp there whipped. A man pressed tt
death for refusing to plead, u woman
burned to death for coming, excited les
sympathy than is now felt for a gallec
horse or an over worked OK. The pris
ons were hells upon earth, seminaries o
every crime and every disease. At tn
assizes the lean and yellow culprit
brought with them an atmosphere o
stencil and pestilence which sometime
avenged them signally on bench, bar an

looked with profound indifference. Nc
where could be found that sensitive an
restless compassion which has in on
time extended powerful protection t

even to the murderer upon the gallows
We say again, contrast all this with tn
