BILE 10 say with certainty how close was the con"
nection Of the Greeks with the PhryRians, the
Thracians, the I~llyrians, and the Messapians,
nor do we know in what order the separation OF
the Greeks from these and other kindred races
took place. For example, were the Phrygians
the fret to leave the parent stemr Then
the Thracisns, then the Tlyrians, and final
ly the Messapians7 Was there ever q
period when, after the separation OF all
these peoples, the Greeks and Italians lived TO-
eether as so-called 1talo-GrRci7 Ono cannot
say. From the viewpoint Of this inquiry the
known Indo-European languages are compared
by the present historian TOT color scale, In which
the transitional shades, and one or more OF the
principal colors besides, are wanting. The din
Guilty of arranging them In their proper order Is
obvious. II we could tell, for instance, which
were tho intermediate colors between the Ira
nian and the Greek, we should know more OF the
origin Of the latter. Again, the known Indo-
European languages are compared to the
branches of q treeo Z which many other branches
are unknown to us. Hence, we cannot say in
what relation even the known ones stand to
each other and to the rest. We do not know
at what part Of the trunk or from which
bough what we call the Greek people was de-
tached. Thus very little can be said even by
philology to the questions regarding origin, re-
lationship. and route. We assume a series OF
kindred peoples. extending from Phrygia TO
Sicily. but we are only justified in asserting that
the Greeks were a branch OF this family tree.
Holm is inclined to concede the possibility that
the cradle Of these kindred peoples was, ss many
recent writer's have contended, not originally In
the interior of Asia, but in Europe. This, how

can hope for from one Of the most accomplished
and attractive writers Of his time. IL embodies
the substance Of a series Of lectures delivered
from tho chair 10 which he had been called near
che end OF his life, the chair Of Reaius professor
Of modern history ut Oxford. which had been
SUCCESSFULLY occupied by Goodwin Smith. by
Btubbs, and by Freeman. The subject mPt

Erasmus rIngularly sympathetic to his biog-

not n few points Of interest in the career Of the

fact that tho barbarous mode OF pronounce

sense sven in . fftesnth century monastery,
and the prior Of the Auaustinian convent ~ last
noticed the condition Of Erasmus. II seemed
shoctine that . youth with 40 hns . talent
should be smothered. Erasmus was sd-
vised 10 throw himself on the protection
Of the Bishop Of Cambray. who represented TO
the Vatican that he wanted a secretary, and
that there was q youth in a Holland monastery
who would exactly suit hin A dlspensation
for temporary absence from the convent was
thus secured. and Erasmus was given back 20
liberty. Long after. when he had become ia
nous. the Augustinians tried 10 refasten the
yoke upon him. II was then that he told his
story TO the Pope. appealed for final protection.
and found II. Previously his freedom had been
conditional. The Bishop, though pedantio and
narrow, was kind. and occasionally, when he
could spare his services, sent him TO improve
himself at the University of Louvain. In 1492
he was ordained priest at Utrecht, and In the
same year, he was enabled. through the Bishops
generosity, to enter the University Of Paris.
Here. TO exc out his patrons allowance, he took
pupils, and his reputation for talent provided
him with as many as he wanted. What he
learned himself he taught to others. Greek
was then q rare acquisition, and was frowned on
by the authorities, but Erasmus learned for
himself the elements Of the language, and in
structed his pupils in IL. Booksellers also gave
him small sums for his writings. OF his life In
Paris but little is known; his enemies accused
him OF Irregularities. and his friend the Bishop
became uneasy at the rumors which reached
him. Erasmus himself admits that he was not
immaculate, though vicious he never was.
with his poetry. his delicate wit, and his gray
eyes, he was as fascinating TO one sex as to the
other. His biographer admits that he may have
had his love affairs, very wrong In him, as he
was a priest, but not the less common or the
less natural. His habits were confessedly not
strict, but Froude argues that original writer's,
men who do not borrow the thoughts of other
authors. but have drawn their knowledge fresh
from life, must have seen and known what they
described. True enough. many drown In these
adventures. but Erasmus, as II happened. was
not submerged. He was, we are reminded, no
dry pedant or professional scholar and
theoloalan, but a very human creature,
who bied II you pricked him, loving. hating.
enjoying. suffering and occupied with many
things besides Greek grammar and the classics.
His intellect, In truth. was not the intellect of a
philosopher. IL was like Lucian's or Voltaire's,
lucid, clear, sparkling, above a. things, witty:
he was a classical scholar when classical scholars
were few and In eager demand. The classics
we're then the novelty, the recovered and re-
turning voice Of life and truth, when theology
had grown dry and observation-disclosures humdnt-
ores. as they have ever since been called, the
very name and the comparative degree indi-
eating the opening of the conflict between liberal
culture and medieval scholnsticism.

Burdette on Gymnasiums.

Boys generally get their due quota
of exercise; at the same time they can
never get too much, if not of too Sc
we're nature and taken with some meas
ure of moderation, writes Ellen LIE
Garde in valuable article entitled {" A
Gymnasium at Home - in the January
LADIES' Home Journal. Burdette says
in reply to the interrogation regarding
his acts "If a boy again, would spend
great deal of time in the gymnasium.
l am strong believer in athletic schol-
arship and gymnastic training. The
ventilation in my gymnasium was per-
feet. The air came in with free
sweep from sun rise to set. There was
sunshine all the way from heaven in
the clearings and grateful shadows un-
der the trees. don't know so much
about gymnasiums hedged in with walls
and roof, and ventilated with ma
chinery, but l know they are better
than none. Live out-of-doors all you
can, my boy. Walk heap. The open
air, the free air and the sunshine are as
good as the exercise-better" This
advice should apply to our girls as we'll.

Paper.

Paper can be manufactured out of almost
anything that can be pounded into pulp.
Over 80 kinds of bark are said to be used,
and banana skins, bean stalks, pea vines, co
coanut fiber, clover and timothy hay,
straw, sea and fresh water weeds and many
kinds of grass are all applicable. 1t has
also been made from hair, fur and wool,
from asbestus, which furnishes an article
indestructible by fire; from hop plants,
from husks of any and every kind of grain.
Leaves make good, strong paper, while
the husks and stems of Indian corn have
also been tried, and almost every kind of
moss can be made into paper, There are
patents for making paper from sawdust
and shavings, from thistles and thistle
down, from tobacco stalks and tanbark. 1t
Is said that there are over 1000 patents in
this country covering the manufacture of
paper.-1he Paper World.

Good Advice to Boys.

Honor does not lie only in the direc-
ton of statecraft and the sword, nor in
the realms of art and literature alone,
but may be acquired, and with it wealth
and power, by any American boy who
starts in life with no capital save a
clean heart, willing hand, and ambi-
ton enough to make the best possible
use of the brains God has given him.
Enduring success and honored age
await the youth who labors diligently,
and who, with temperance and fru-
gality, depends upon his own exertions
for success. The element of luck plays
roguish tricks sometimes; but he who
idly waits for fortune will receive scant
favor from the tickle jade.-Blue and
GRIM.

The examination OF William Fouse for
resisting an officer was held in the Police
Court yesterday morning. The case
grew out of one of the rows during the
primary election last Saturday.
Police Sergeant Plunkett testified that
he arrested Ben Shields at Fourth and L
streets, and while he was taking him to
jail Eouse interfered.
Plunkett told touse If he did not cease
interfering he would arrest him. Fouse
replied that ii PlunkeLt would take his
star OIL he would see that the officer would
not arrest him.
Officer Douglas testified that after
Plunkett had arrested Shields he heard
somebody say, Take him away from the

take hold of Plunketts arm. Douglas
then drew his pistol and kept the crowd

that he saw the defendant take mold oi

Justice Devine, after the testimony for
the prosecution had all been put in, said
he did not believe that testimony enough
