Origin of fPunch and Jndx.

Boys and girls, old and young, who enjoy immensely the frivolitfes of a Punch and Judy show will be glad to learn that the exhibition has a serious side as well as a comic one-is, in fact, a direct lineal descendant of the an- cient miracle plays which our ances- tors were fond of some six or seven cen turies ago. At least that is the opinion of Rev G. R. Woodward, who on Sat urday delivered lecture on Ancient Carols" in the chapter house of St. Paul'6 to members of the Plainsong and Medfaeyal Music society. He contend ed that the modern Punch and Judy show, with it's tambourine, drum and pipe, represented the triumph of virtue over vice. Punch Is very like Pons, or Pounce (Pontius) Pilate. Judy was in- tended for Judas, the traitor, or for Judith, who slew Holfernes, and Toby was evidently the dog mentioned in the book of Tobit. He therefore discarded the Italian derivation of the word and held that the modern form of the old religious show was simply a corrupted edition of a miracle play which had Pontivs Pilate as it's hero.-London Tel egraph.

 MT. Keller favored the plan of cre- ating an arbitration board and says it should have mandatory powers SO far as compelling both sides in any labor trouble to accept advice from the board. The members are to be appointed by the governor and after the board had listened to all the facts in a labor dis pute, it should be prepared to give good wholesome advice to both contestants. MT. Keller says that the inadequacy of the arbitration boards in other states has arisen from the fact that they are clothed with no mandatory powers so far as the compelling of parties to ac- cept the recommendations of the mem- bers is concerned, consequently their jurisdiction is limited, as we'll as the re- suits of their labors. The hearing of recommendations from an arbitration board does not commit either side to accept the advice, but Mir. Keller be- lieves that the good offices would be &C., cepted in many cases with beneficial re- suits. Such a board ought to be able to settle many labor disputes, if armed with the authority to compel contest ants in labor troubles to listen to their intervention, and to take into consider ation their counsel.
