That Exquisite Something"

Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, writing in Lip
pincott, quite agrees to the idea that
this is an impolite age. We have to be
in such a mortal hurry that there is no
time for fine manners and a thoroughly
polite man of the old school would be a
bore. Nevertheless Mrs. Barr thinks
we have quite lost an exquisite some
thing" which is very great loss indeed.
We have often heard individuals who
thought the modern generation was 60
ing to the dogs preach about this Eek
quisite something" which the race has
lost, but we never find anybody who can
define it, even while he rails. Mrs. Barr
is as hazy as the rest Of them. She finds
real social danger" however, in the dis
carding of it, whatever it is.
She finds, moreover, that certain gar
ments and ceremonies are the ''rivets
and bolts" that keep society from falling
to pieces. All one has to say, then, is
that society must be in bad way in
deed if this is all that holds it together.
Mrs Barr, further, is sure that woman
is to blame for the loss of the exquisite
something, and she wants the sex to
reach out and get it back again. Ac-
cordingly we hope the thing will soon be
making its appearance in society again.
When found it ought to be put into a
/ glass case.
| Meantime it is not true that politeness
is declining Mankind take really a
more kindly interest in one another's
welfare than they ever did before, and
where good will spreads politeness can
not be lacking.

Pennsylvania Pilgrim Fathers.

On Christmas day unique celebra-
ton was held at the ancient town Of
Bethlehem, Pa. It was the anniversary
Of the founding of the town in 1741, $50
years before, by the pious Moravian
brethren "Unitas Fratrum" Unity of
Brethren) they named themselves long
before, little more than thirty years
after their great reformer, John Huss,
was burned at the stake. But the breth-
rem who celebrated at Christmas, 1891,
the founding of Bethlehem trace their
church back to the Ninth century, when
Cyril and Methodiuns passed into the
savage lands of Bohemia and Moravia,
carrying knowledge of the new faith.
The people retained their notions of
primitive Christianity through centuries
of persecution, until at the beginning of
the Eighteenth century the Moravian
church had been almost exterminated. In
the night of May 81, 1923, two Moravian
families escaped from their native coun-
try to the estates of Count Zinzendorf,
in Saxony. The count received them
kindly, and himself became one of the
Brethren of Unity and in time a bishop.
He cast all his fortunes at the feet Of
the Unitas Fratrum. They were all
impressed that the brethren had a great
work before them in Christianizing the
heather of foreign lands.
Accordingly they came to America,
and ON Christmas day, 1741, named their
town on the Lehigh Bethlehem, which
signifies in the Hebrew house of
bread" None who came to the settle
ment was ever refused bread. New
settlers came to them, bands of starving
Indians applied to them for relief, troops
of soldiers were quartered on the town,
but, in the words Of the pastor at Beth
lehem, The bread never gave out" On
the contrary, the settlers waxed pros
porous and increased greatly. Once
they were in peril Of determination; not
from religious persecution this time, but
from Indians Their brethren in a set
Element few miles away had been mas
sacred. A yellow old chronicle Of the
year 1865 mentions, two days before
Christmas, the celebration which will
take place on that day "If God wills
and we yet live" Z
Bravely and well they kept the print.
tive faith, these Moravians, and minded
their own business and got rich. They
did not make the noise the New England
pilgrim fathers did, because it was one
of the tenets of the Moravian doctrine
that the brethren must keep themselve:
unspotted from the world, apart from
political strife and government affairs
the very things the New England fathers
gloried in. None the less, however, die
the strong, quiet, gentle Moravian'
stamp themselves ON this country. TheJ
continue their mission work still, en-
deavoring to infuse into other denomina
tons than their own an awakening
spiritual life.

We agree altogether with The Globe
Democrat. The editor gives it as his
judgment that if no more books were
published in a century no serious bad
effect would follow in the matter of
arrest Of intellectual energy and prog
ress. But if newspapers were to be
stopped, society could scarcely hold itself
together Just so.

SOME LIVELY TIMES.

cohk LiNELf TIMHb.
As soon as the news reached camp ten cadets,
who were prepared to honor the successful
competitor, went at 4 double quick" to the
hotel, where Lieut.. Redman was laid upon FIVE
guns and carried through the ball room to
camp.
Immediately some Of the boys, disguised and
painted as Indians, led by Go Won Go Mohawk
cadet Hancock) and Little Foot Big Chief
Cadet Malone), ran around, yelling and dane
ing in regular Indian fashion. They built a
campfire behind the hotel and had an oyster
roast
When We were ready to turn in blankets were
missed by the Wholesale and the air was rather
thick with blessings for the borrowers.
Cadet Hancock sailed over to Waugh Cottage,
and, feeling i'll, took possession of hammock.
He was tenderly cared for by Miss Frisbee, who
swung him for an hour or so.
Corporal Fugitt is seriously struck on Q GER
tain young lady down here, and if his fair
friends in Washington are looking out for his
welfare they had better take steps to protect
him.
Today the camp is literally oyerAowing with
visitors.
AMULE AND COW RACE.
About O'Clock Cadet wiggington, on mule.
Cadets McConville and Hancock, on cows, had
a race, and thelatter came out with flying colors.
Hancock has found a new cousin at Waugh
Cottage and he seems to think great deal Of
her.
The other day mention was made Of the
presentation Of q load of watermelons to the
boys, in which credit should have been given to
Maj. j. Tyler Powell. The major has been for
many years identified with the District militia,
and as an ex-soldier has evinced lively inter-
est in the welfare Of the boys since they have
been here in camp.
NOTES.

residence near here is improving.
Henceforth the camp will be continuously
guarded day and night. Some of the boys
kicked" at the idea, but Capt. Cook was unre-
lenting.
