Our Oldest Bit of Literature.

The book of Job, as it is incorpo-
rated in the Bible, is believed to be
the most ancient literary work in ex-
istence. 1t is known to have been
written prior to the Pentateuch and
prior to the PRONUNCIATION of the law.
In profane literature the poems of
Homer are the most ancient that have
come down to our day, though the
names of others still older are in ex-
istence. The Pentateuch was written
about the year 1451 B. c., and the
Homeric poems about GAO years later.

In the Act of Robbing a Bank.

Those who were in the Cambridge
port National bank Thursday after
noon saw a man who a few years
ago was considered one of the most
notorious bank robbers in the coun
try. The man WAS Langdon w
Moore, and one of his most success
full robberies was the stealing OF
$500 in bonds and money from
that very bank.
In a few words Moore made known
bis errand to the officers of the bank
He is writing a book, and it is to bs
illustrated with pictures of some OF
the most successful of his daring
robberies. Having gained the re
quired permission, Moore took the
same position that he did on the oc
casion of the robbery many years
ago, the bank now being arranged
practically the same as then. A
young man took the place of his &C
complice, and another took the pic
ture.-Boston Transcript.

Greece May Yet Become Powerful.

Manhood suffrage is an unstable
foundation for a government; yet in
Greece, where the population is al
most exclusively agricultural and,
except in Thessaly, peasant proprie-
tary is universal, there is less cause
to apprehend those furious gusts of
popular feeling which affect people
crowded together in great industrial
centers. If military and naval ex-
penditure-especially the latter, for
which in a country without colonies
there ought to be no pressing neces-
sity-can be kept within reasonable
limits, there is good cause to hope
that the new kingdom will be firmly
established, her desolate fields be-
come repeopled and her internal re-
sources steadily developed.-Black-
woods Magazine.

A Man Who Was Not q Liar.

An active, energetic young De-
troiter, who is now very happily
married and doing extremely well,
took a chance on getting his wife it
might be well for others to try.
When he had settled the matter sat-
isfactorily with the daughter, he in
terviewed the father. The old gen.
tleman looked him over critically
when he stated the object of his
visit.
IT believe" he said, "that you
have record, as the boys say9"

''Do you dance and go to the thea

The father looked stern.
"And still you want to marry my
daughter"
Certainly. Why not2'
"Do you think a man who has a
record such as you confess to should

He shouldn't have any other

The father smiled
"Well," he said, whatever else you

1t was a safe risk.-Detroit Trib-

Treatment of Watches.

That a watch may keep good time,
says ChamberS's Journal, it should be
carefully treated; it should be wound
at the same time daily, and when not
worn should be placed in the same
pos. .tion, always hung up, or always
laid down, as every watch goes differ
emily in different positions. In watches
having a double case, the outer one
should never be left open. If it is left
open even for one night the glass is
covered with a thin film Of dust. which
will gradually enter the works through
even the tinieSt openings in the case.
Watches should be wound in the
morning, because spring fully wound
up will more readily overcome the ttls-
turbances produced by the movements
of the wearer. Springs will not break
so easily if watches are carefully
wound up and not taken out Of a warm
pocket and placed directly against a
cold wall or on q marble slab; for that
reason q protective mat is desirable.
The changes of the oil, the variations
In temperature, the density and humid
fty of the air, all greatly affect the
going of a watch, and it is only the
lever watch of the most perfect finish
which almost neutrahzes those adverse
influences. No watch keeps perfectly
correct time. Even the best chronome-
ters, used in obSerVatories and on board.
Ships. must be regulated according to
tables which fix the variations to which
watches are subject.
A watch should be cleaned every two
or three years. In time the Oil decom.
noses, gets mixed with the particles OF
dust which enter the works OF even
the best-closing watch, begins to act
as a grinding material, and wears out
the working parts. 1t frequently nap
pens that watch requires cleaning
qstener than once in two years, espec
falIy if it closes badly or is exposed tc
much dust and dirt Any one who mas
the misfortune to drop his watch into
water should take it at once to" the
matchmaker, to have it t<len to pieces
and cleaned; delay of even an hour
may spoil the watch forever.

SOCIALISM GIVEN FITS.
a LIVELY DEBATE IN THE CIR
MAN REICHSTAG.

All the Country's Political Parties Ar
rayed IN the Battle and the Whole
Country Watching Its Progress-An
the Noted Leaders Take a Hand in
the Debste-Cholera's Specter.
BERLIN, Feb. 11.-For five successive
days during the past week the Reichstag
discussed the merits and dement's of social
ism. No special resolution was involved,
yet the debate assumed the proportions OF
a political event through series of
interesting phases, at first OF small
apparent moment but rapidly developing
into general battle, which excited all the
parties and arrested the attention of the
whole country. Herr Bebel opened the de-
bate with an GRAFTON, in which he claimed,
as usual, that socialism was the means of
redemption for individuals and for society
Herr Bachem, centrist, called Herr Bebel's
exposition mere phrases, leaving untouched
| the practical question how socialism could
reconstruct society. Contrasts between
rich aud poor, said Herr Bachem, could
! only be minimized by Christian activities
Herr Liebkneoht boosted of the speedy
and eventual triumph of socialism, and re-
preached the Reiohstag for indulging in an
army bill. Asked to define the socialistio
programme he declared that the party
made war upon abuses and did not dream
Of organizing brans of new politico-social
state.
Herr Richtes Freisiunige, evoked en-
thusiasm throughout the house by one Of
the finest speeches ever heard from him. He
poured scorn upon socialism as fraud on
the masses and upon the socialist leaders as
! self appointed apostles of the oppressed
whom they deluded. He said that among
thinking men the socialist theories wers
bankrupt The socialist chiefs knew that no
realization Of their theories was possible,
yet they continued to preach them in order
to preserve their Influence on the masses.
Pastor Stoecker, replying TO Herr Lieb-
knecht, declared that the socialists were far
from achieving a triumph. They were in
| deed at the end of their resources. The
| working classes were finding out the hol-
lowness of their theories and the worthless
character of the professions Of their leaders,
The debate was attended with several
exchanges OF acrimonious language.

The MORNING NEWS believes the possess
sion by the Telfair academy OF one Of the

the friends of the Academy. Why not raise
an amount sufficient to purchase one of
themi The Academy's friends can easily do

The Academy has many friends, and they
are not confined to this city or state. They
are to be found 10 many states, for OF the
Thousands OF visitors to the city within the
last two or three years from oil parts of the
country, many Of them have passed pleas

Of these help may be expected.
OF course Savannahians will respond gem
erously, and so will Georgians outside of
Savannah. The Academy is in fact south
ern institution. 1t is the only Acade-
my Of fine arts south of Washington.
The sources therefore from which assistance
may be hoped for are many.
Subscriptions will be received by the
MORNING News and promptly acknowl-
edged in the column that will be devoted to
that purpose. Let every friend Of the
Academy help in this undertaking and the
institution will have among its collection
one Of the great pictures Of the Chicago
