eruption of Nesuvius prior to A. -. 10.
although the latter-day scientists have
proved that 1t must have been active
before that time. At the beginning Of
the Christian era the sides of the YES
uvius We're covered with fields and
vines, and its crater was OvergrOwn
with wild grapes. 1t is certain that the
people living near it al that time had
not the slightest idea that it was an ac-
tive volcano. for the writings of Pliny
the Younger and Tacitus show that it
gave warning for thirteen years before
the great eruption. There were a SER
les of earthquakes and tremendous seis-
mic disturbances.
The great historic eruption took place
In August, 20 years after Christ. The
lava poured down the mountain side in
tremendous streams and buried Hercu-
laneum, at the west base: Pompeii. on
the southeast side: Stabiae, on the
south side. and Castellamare. which
was beyond Stabiae. These cities were
inundated and forgotten until centuries
after, when the remains were dug up
and gave the moderns n perfect insight
into the manners and customs of the
time of the big eruption. For centuries
Vesuvius was quiet. People who lived
/ about it forgot that it had once buried
cities and killed thousands. Again did
vines cover the crater and its sides
were cultivated fields. There had been
six months of earthquakes. but these
were not accepted as warning.

A YOUTHFUL EXEGgTE.

His Interpretation OF the Scriptures Was
Not Orthodox.
Strange are the workings of the in
FAINT mind The little son Of well
known naval officer stationed here has
advanced a new version of an old text.
The wife's mother, who makes her
home with her daughter, is of the old
school, dear creature, with pufRs and
caps, who reads her Bible from prefer
ence. 1t is custom for her to teach her
little grandson every day verse from
the Bible, and on Saturday of last week
the verse selected was
Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy"
The child had unusual difficulty in
committing the verse, but, once mas
tered, it must have settled deep into
the very largest brain cell possessed by
the little fellow.
Sunday morning the youngster came,
fresh, white and starched, from his
nurses hands and was deposited on the
front porch until the family assembled
for church. Emerging at the last mo-
ment, the mother was Mortified at the
sight of her small offspring seated upon
the terrace, digging with all his might
1nto the moist ground.
Baby, baby, come here this minute.
Don't you know it is naughty to play
on Sunday and get yourself all dirt?"
cried the mother.
The little fellow looked up with a
puzzled air and made answer, "Why,
muvver, dear, l is digging holes for
Sunday"
digging holes for Sunday? What
nonsense! You bad, bad little son, " re-
turned the mother, none too gently,
trying to rescue the once immaculate
suit
'Now, muvver, dear, I did learn We
verso from grandma, and it was Re-
member We Sabbath day to keep it
holy, and is only digging We holes for
Sunday to make it holy, and l isn't
bad little son at all. "
There was Il suspicious trembling
about the mouth, but 1t is needless to
relate that the little philosopher was
caught in his mothers arms and kissed
before the cry developed and that he
was given two plates of dessert for his
Sunday dinner, all because of his orig
inal theory. Washington Star.

TO RECEIVER WRIGHT.

Will the Merchants and Traders
bank receivership repeat the history
OF the BrunSwick State bank receiver
ship IN paying only the prior claim of
the state government and leaving the
unfortunate depositors out in the cold?
1t is sincerely to be hoped that such
will not be the oase-that Receiver
Wright will be enabled to so direct
the process OF liquidation that the in
dividuSl creditors will not be COM
pletely ignored.
The numerous "black eyes" which
Brunswick has received from such ca
tastrophes as the failure OF the Mer-
chants and Traders bank, imposes
upon Receiver Wright the patriotic
duty of doing his level best to save the
financial reputation OF this city from
as much of the odium attaching
to this particular affair as he possibly
can. This, THE TIMES has no doubt,
Mr.. Wright will do. There should
however, be a thorough sitting Of the
affairs Of the hank, and the RESPONSE
bility for its present prsdlcament
should be clearly placed where it be-
longs.
1t issn undeniAbe principle of JUS
tice that the creditors should be en-
titled to the controlling VOICE in the
settlement of the affairs Of a voracious
institution which has swallowed their
money. In the interest of these cred
itors, there should be some legal emetic
to force the institution to disgorge.

A NEW WOMAN.

She's up to date ard strictly new, &
And yet she's not afiame with zeal.
She wears no skirt that 8 sewed in two,
She is not skilled to ride a wheel.
Her sexs wrongs she does not feel.
No public scheme her thoughts pursue,
And yet, the fact can't conceal, \
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled,
And, though her eyes are deeply blue,
No occult force her chances hold.
She cares not for the days Of old,
Nor does the future charm her view
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new. u
All homage at her shrine is due. =
Her claim no mortal dares to scorn.
She from the Infinite takes her cue.
Shes fresh as earth's primeval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn,
For, now TO prove my statements true,
It's scarce one moon since she was born.
lou see, she's newt

Some letters from the fair sex caused
Sir Walter Scott at least as much amuse-
ment as annoyance. In his earlier years
"a mad woman from about Alnwick, :"
by dint of letters and plans, first ex-
tracted from him guinea for charity,
then sent him the manuscript of curl
Gus novel, which he was to publish in
his own name, and of which he was to
take half the profits. Finally, on his de-
Ginning the partnership, she suggested he
should take shares in medicine for
babies, her own invention. Dread of
participation in 'such a Herodlike
affair" drove Scott to decline the honor
of future correspondence with the lady.
On March day in his fatal year,
1926, Sir Walter answered two modest
requests from widow ladies' One Of
these, presuming on a former slight ac-
quaintance with his mother, desired
that he should impress on Peel, then
home secretary, the merits of her second
son, whom he was to represent as eft
for any. situation in public office. 1"
The second lady, who had already pc
rused "Marmion" and 1.-The Lady of
the Lake, engaged, in return for suit
able provision for her sons education,
to read all her benefactor's other works
After dealing with these letters, Scott
felt himself constrained to record his
conviction that your destitute widow,
especially if she hath charge of chill
dren and one or two fit for patronage, is
one of the most impudent animals liv-
ing, Temple Bar.

A young man of our city recently went intp an up town restaurant where he had been. boarding for some time and upon seeing a negro and several Mex. jeans eating in the dining room went to the proprietor and told him that It he allowed such people to eat in his restau- rant he would stop boarding there. The proprietor replied that their. patronage amounted to considerable than his and consequently the young man has been hu.ting for q new boarding house. This nice young man also made several remarks ab,ut the miners coming in with their mining clothes on and setting down at the same table with him. We are indeed sorry for this dear little boy, and are afraid that he will be badly ,, spoiled if he is not taken home at once | to his mama where he can be nursed and petted.
