Few years. This establishes the important
fact that, if the nearness of the record to
the event counts for anything, the famous
frescoes in the catacombs have an advan-
tage over the Bible in that respect of near
ly l,0DD years.
Against this fact, theologians from Ire
naeus to the present very reverend dean of
Canterbury have generally held the opinion
that the world and the church have lost
forever all vestige of trustworthy tradi-
ton concerning the aspect of Jesus on
earth. mainly because the authorities upon
which they have drawn not historical,
archaeoiogiC al or artistic, but always solely
theological, d also because the church
has never really touched the possible Veri-
simlitude of the likeness of Christ, but has
dealt only with the question whether any
representation, true or false, should be in
dorsed or permitted by the church Ger
tain OF the theologians of the second third
and fourth centuries of the Christian era
objected to the attempts of artists to por-
tray the likeness of Christ.
Argue Reality.
These first pictures of Christ in the cata-
combs were indeed ugly, which is in itself
strong evidence that they were honest at
tempts by inefficient artists to represent
one whom they had seen or whose portrait
they had seen. and whose type they knew
WELL and not ideal creations of their own
imaginations. But while these early faith
ers objected because the ugliness of the
outward form seemed to them slur upon
the divinity of Christ, to us who in that
fresco of the catacomb of San Calisto
Chere represented only trife larger than
the originaD, there is no ugiiness of the
outward form, but, in spite Of the weather.
beaten, spotted and half-efraced image. We
cannot but discern the spiritual beauty.
This Calstian portrait, the most precious
Of the old images of Christ, has been
snatched from the cruel tooth of Time

lobster spread. The inhabitants of boarding
houses, seeking an ideal in Paris. almost
realize 1t for the moment. Tourists, weary
OF cafes and theaters. find an oasis in the
touring desert. Mothers and daughters
stray old maids, exiled business men and
their depressed wives, maintaining a pre-
carious social life in dreary little apart
ments, even find an opportunity to make ac-
the colony, the rich and happy spend
bad quarter of an hour in lodging those for
whom they have no use.
Our Distinctive Custom.
Americans in Paris are extremely proud
that their ambassador thus gives a general
invitation to a big reception and solid
lunch on New Year day, because it IS
conventionally no part of his duty to be so
hospitable. The wind-bitten Englishmen of
Paris go up to their embassy and simply
write their names in the reception book
The ambassador-as Mr.. Eustis, our first
dignitary of that rank in France, laid
down-represents the person of the sover-
eign. Now, you may not even leave your
card upon king or queen. And you may
be sure that the President of the French
republic and the military governor of
Paris, General Zurlinden, do not receive
the rabble of the capital on New Year day.
Their receptions, which are formal cere-
monlouS and impressive. make sight to
see. Outside the Elysee and the Invalides
the patient Parisians crowd by the thous-
ands to await the advent of the generals
in :heir uniforms, the diplomats in their re-
gala, the decorated ones who sport the
collars and the ribbons of their orders, the
extraordinary municipal council of Paris
In their funereal dress suits, the deputies
and senators, and all the functionaries of
the military and the civil branches.
The most eXhiarating visit of the lot is
that paid by the municipal council to the
military governor of Paris. General Eur
linden is a proud man. aristocratic in his
tendencies. For such as he there are two
worlds the military and the civil. The mu-
nicipal council Is the sloppiest socialistic
body that could be produced by universal
suffrage. When it intrudes on New Year
day it's members grin before and after
ward. The diplomatic corps calls on the
president of the republic in one splendid
body. 1t is their first visit of the day.
Then they chase around in carriages to
call upon each other. The presidents of
of the republic, who Immediately calls upon
them in return.
Scattering Cards Broadcast.
While this takes place all the official
world beneath is even more laboriously ec-
cupied. You cannot look out the window in
Paris without seeing a government func-
tionary or his wife. The civil service is
systematized SO minutely that five clerks do
the work of one. One voter in every ten is
ranged in his own rank, with his superors,
interiors and equals well marked out, his
tenure sure, his duties fixed. On New
Year day the rule is fixed. Every imme-
diate inferior must call upon his immediate
superior; that is. after hurrying to call

Cost of Living in vienna.

from tne LONDON Post.
Vienna is fast earning the unenviable dis
tinction of being the dearest city on the
continent. Not only is life rendered intol-
erably dear by the circulation of standard
coin in the shape OF the fiorin which is out
of proportion to the social conditions of the
people still compelled to make use of such
primitive purchasing media as half-farth-
ings, but the cost of living is increasing
alarmingly. Rents are much higher than in
Berlin or Budapest. If the theaters offer
the Viennese relatively cheap entertain
ment, the luxures and necessaries of life
cost him invariably more than they do the
Englshman. A fiat with limited accommo-
dation and conveniences costs as much as,
II not more than an entire house in Lon
don suburb. To build house, with its ten
to twenty and even forty flats, and its i'm
posing eXteriors. requires a heavy outlay of
capital The Spectators who are for the
most part responsible for the present build
ing operations, are unable to meet the de-
mands on their capital. and seek to secure
themselves by fixing the rents at an op-
pressive figure. The burden of citizenship
is thus becoming more and more intolerable
every day.

have so absolutely overshadowed the purely
human side of His life that we have not
tried to imagine how Christ really looked.
When We stop TO consider this subject We
realize that there is no possibility of His
having been different in His appearance
from ordinary men, although We know that
there could not but have been a something
about Him which revealed what lay be-
meath the external envelope. In His eyes
windows of the soul-His disciples who knew
and loved Him, the poor people of the vii
lagos OF Galilee who saw Him but once
passing, must have seen the light of the
perfect inner life, whose purity and beauty
men of all ages since have vainly tried 10

countenance, His stcrnnesS and His smile.
His kindly and unselfish bearing, could not
but have revealed what He really was.
This we feel, but a most interesting book,
just published, for the first time takes up in
q modern. scientific way this subject of the
probable likeness of Christ. Its author, Sir
Wyke Bayliss, presents the facts with re-
markable clearness and force.
Oldest Records
The first point to be considered is that
the direct teaching of the story of the
Christ was, at least for the first 900 years
Of the church history, committed TO art
rather than to letters. Since the invention
OF printing the written word has taken
the place of pictorial representation, but
forty generations had lived and died and
the world had become Christian before the
sacred text in the hands of the people
and the people educated to read 1t for them
selves. In the preface of the revised version
ii is stated that the earliest manuscript of
the Old Testament Of which the age is GER
tainly known, bears date a. d. GIG. and
