The Puritan iconoclasticism which
tore from church walls pictures Of the
lovely Madonna and gave images and
rosaries and crucitixes to be burned,
which built the desolate, bare, ugly
meeting-houses of early New England,
and scowled with Bradford on the
Christmas games, was simply decla-
ration that the multiplication of pic
lures and rosaries and images had not
made men and women more truthful,
upright, iberty-loving and self-deny-
ing; had not yet purified and ennobled
human life in England. Perhaps they
were doing the good work, but imper-
ceptibly to the eager Puritans. Saints
DAYS and rosaries. they said, will not
bring heaven upon earth. There are
probably enough dead saints in the
calendar to make a saints day of every
day in the year. But what we need,
brethren, is not so much days for the
saints as saints for the days.-George

Materials Used for Manuscripts in Ancient
Times.
In times when paper was unknown
and skins practically were the only
substances available for writing, and
were scarce and correspondingly ex-
pensive, the would-be scribe was forced
to fall back for his supply of parch-
ment upon older books which had be-
come obsolete, or, in his opinion, con-
tanned matter of less Importance than
that which he intended to commit to
writing. A practice was therefore mi
tlated of removing the characters first
written by washing off the old ink, or
more mechanically by scraping the
parchment with knife, thus in some
measure repeating the original process
of preparing the skin for use by rub
bing it with pumice stone. The surface
of parchment which had been subjected
to treatment Of this nature, especially
if subsequently polished, would not
show any trace of the first writing, and
was again available for use. Thus
arose q class Of manuscripts known as
'codices rescripti," rewritten books; or
as ''palimpsests," literally, ''again-
rubbed books. The practice, as origi-
nally followed out, has given rise TO but
little Inconvenience; for the ancient
booksellers were good Judges and took
care never to destroy valuable treat
Use, but only obliterated such works as
had no sale in the limited literary mar
ket of the ancient world.

laughingly alludes to the parsimony of
his friend Ire batius, the juriscOnsult,
who, to write a letter, erased some pre-
viOus communication, and Plutarch, in
his treatise upon the Conversations OF
Princes and Philosophers. laments the
failure of Plato's visit to Sicily, and
compares Dionysius OF Syracuse to an
old book from which the writing has
been erased, but which is still defaced
by the ancient stains, which can never
be completely removed, appearing

HER CAPTIVATING WALK.

How Girl Made the Most of Her Natur-
al Advantages Over Her Sisters.
An observing writer says it is exc
tremely interesting when attractive
women of fashion, who are not too old
to be vain, and not young enough to be
giddy, get together and exchange con-
fdences. Their placidty of re5rospec'
ton is charming and what they say
usually has point and moral. A
group composed OF q few very success
full and contented women of this kind
was assem- bled at q recent re-
ception. The beauty of a young girl
present had been spoken OF. ''When |
look at her," said one of the compla-
cent ladies, 81 am reminded of the ease
with which all girls can achieve ply
steal success if they will only do a lit
tie studying. For years we were tell
ing her what pretty mouth she had.
1t was only pretty then in crude way,
but gradually she began to make the
best of it, and now the first observation
that is made about her is sure to refer
to her expressive and exquisite lips.
''She had a far better basis to start
ance, who was ambitious to shine as a
belle. The girl used to look at herself
in a mirror and frankly acknowledge
that she was far from lovely. No fea-
ture was delicate, and her coloring was
commonplace to degree. Her hair
was just the least bitpretty, but pretty
hair is never remarkable. The young
woman had been out nearly a whole sea-
son when one night a man said to her
that she had an original and graceful
gait. She was thrilled. 1t was really the
first honest compliment she had ever
received. She thought it over, and then
went to work to discover what it was
IN her walk that called forth the adj
miration of the man. She soon learned
that it was a slight swagger, an in
voluntary swaying Of the hips and
shoulders. She acceEtuated this swag
ger very discreetly, and before long she
heard everyone talking about her
fascinating walk. Presently she was
fattered by seeing the greatest beauties
attempting to initiate her, but none
Of them could do it with the
natural grace that she exhibited.
She at once began to gain a conf
dence that hitherto she had lacked. At
dances she was sought after by the best
men with the same aseiduity that was
inspired by the handso1nest bellies.
''She bloomed as rose encouraged
by the sun and dew will bloom, and
soon she gloried IN the finest figure Of
her set, as well as the most captivating
walk. She was, as one clever fellow
put it, the most delicious girl in the
back that mortal eye could wish to see
It would have been q joy to watch
her walk a thousand miles. Well,
she was the rage, and made one
of the most desirable matches of
the year. And I tell my girls when
they complain that they are not SO
pretty as some of their friends, that If
they are not clever enough to hit on
some attraction to take the place of
mere bodily loneliness by the time they
are twenty they won't be worthy Of a
mother who overcame with the utmost
ease such drawbacks as a turned-up
nose, a stunningly large mouth and a
collection of frcckels that would have
fitted out whole country school of
small boys.-N. o. Pieayune.

AN Old

If Senator STANFORD'S financial
scheme was designed to make him the
favorite for the presidency of those who
would have vast issues of government
paper, for some reason it is not promot-
ing that END. The new Kansas senator.
whose name people are still pulling
over, is already ahead of STANFORD. 1t
IS v e found that the idea that is his
capital is older than the general govern
ment. A writer in a California paper
says:
In 1922 money was so scarce in Pennsyl-
vania that the assembly authorized the issue
of paper money upon landed security, to be
repaid i'll annual instalments, with ) per
cent interest. A loan Office was established
in the state. with commissioners whose duty
it was to appraise land and issue notes to the
amount of one-half its value, on receipt of a
bond, or mortgage from the owner. Notmore
than 900, nor less than $40, was to be issued
to one individual.
The traditions are that for a time
there was a good deal of a boom in Penn
sylvania, but it did not continue long.
Not much information is had as to the
condition in which it left the people,
but it disappeared and has not been
attempted again. That fact leaves an
unfriendly presumption as to its utility.

THE ZONE

In some of the features of railroad
economy this country Is unqueStiOnably
in advance Of Europe. The provisions
for comfort in travelling are perhaps
superior. Some of the greatest inven-
lions have come from quarters least
promising in notable works. Austria
and Hungary are not the most progress
i've portions of Europe in most of the
ranges. But it is possible that they will
afford the world a useful lesson in the
way OF cheap railroad transportation.
The railroad magnates in this country
who are so %nervously alert to minister to
the popular needs may find a profitable
study in the one system that has been
introduced in Austro-Hungary, and has
made such a success that it is
to be extended throughout Austria,
and probably Belgium. 1t has
been applied only to passenger traffic,
but the first of this year it was extended
TO goods traffic in Hungary. A writer
in a prominent London paper, whose
statements are reproduced ia leading
railway publications in this country,
says the success of the system where it
is in operation will probably lead to it's
gradual extension throughout the world.
Where the government mainly controls
the roads, as in Austro- Hungary, there
is no difficulty in the adoption of the
system, as there is in England and the
United States. where there are many
rival roads. This, however, does not
present any insurmountable barrier.
The writer believes there is no reason
why it should not be adopted by all
the large cities, such as London and
Manchester, New York and Chicago, and
gradually extend to the smaller centers.
Something of this kind has been a sub
ject of agitation in England for a decade
or two, but its first practical illustration
has been afforded in Hungary. There
its adoption by the government roads
has forced the private corporations to
follow their example, and it IS proving
TO be advantageous to the roads as well
as the public. The number of passen-
gers increased the first ten months from
3,065, 600 to 10,065, 900, or more than three
times. The revenues of the roads in
creased in the same time about 25 per
cent. In eight months the local traffic
in the vicinity of Buda-Pesth rose from
255,000 persons to 1867, 5S6, an increase
of l,600 per cent. A home illustra-
ton of the principle may be seen
in the increase of transit between the
Twin Cities by the opening of the cleo
trio line, with its reduction of fare from
80 cents to 10 cents. The first year will
probably show, if figures can be had.
that the traffic has increased more than
threefold. 1t is the same principle in
the reduction of letter postage. Ths

SOME PENSION FIGURES.

The pension bill, as it has passed the
senate, appropriates $133, 173,0S5 for
pensions and 81, 912. 900 as the expense
of making the payments. 1t costs the
government about 81 for every SOS paid
to the pensioners. Then the pensioners
are assessed several millions for the
benefit of the thrifty claim agents. 1t
is stated that the expense of making the
payments is increasing faster than the
payments. The management of the
pension bureau is crippled by the effort
necessary to protect the speculations of
the head and replenish the supplies of
whitewash. The surprising statement
is made that out of 5000 0 applications
under the new law but 5000 or 5000
have been acted on. 1t is not intimated
that many have been rejected. Perhaps
it is not deemed advisable to expand the
outlay too rapidly before the Democrats
have to provide the funds. But. if these
applicants are entitled 10 the payments,
it is a gross injustice to defer them and
keep the suffering out of their just dues.
The statement, however. that hardly a
beginning has been made in the allow
ance of a half-million applications. and
still sl35, 000, GOO are needed to meet the
pension rolls, is an intimation of robust
figures to accumulate in the early
