EMBLE1 OF AUTHORITY.

IL was many years before the ancient
Aslatics advanced I'm weapons OF de-
fence against wild beasts and offense
against their fellow-men. from the club
and throwing-bat to the embryo sword
whose edge was flint set i'm the groove
~ a billet OF wood, or with sharks teeth
securely fastened by sinews OF animals
20 wooden staff. Following this came
the dirk or poignard originally the
sharpened horn OF an antelope, and
forms OF which. by the way. are still
In use in far Eastern countries. Care
ful reading Of your Bible will enable
you to trace the growth OF the dirk
into metallic weapon, and, finally
into a short sword, which was always
double-edged and slung i'm q belt and
later protected in an ornamented ana
polished sheath. Thus the weapon
grew until IL assumed the various forms
that distinguished and still distinguish
the warriors OF various nations. But
it was ever recognized as the gentle
mans weapon when IL formed recog-
niZed part of social life and as the
commanders emblem of superiority
when me met in battle array whether
the soldiers carried bows, sling-shots,
battle-axes, muskets or magazine
rifles. IL was an enchanted sword that
gave Amads, of Gaul, that model of
chivalry, access TO a subterranean
treasure. 1t was the withdrawal of the
sword EXcalibur from "a stone and an
vii that made Arthur king of England.
In the last century an English gem
tleman was never seen in public with
out his sword. The first prohibition of
this custom as social form, strange
ly enough. came from profess
sional gambler, the famous Beau Nasn,
the leader of fashion, who, as its mas
ter of ceremonies, made Batn the
watering place of English swelldom.
Gaming was practiced to such "a de-
gree at this resort that disputes that
led TO sword contests were OF frequent
occurrence. and were facilitated by the
fact that all men OF fashion carried
their blue-steeled blades. To curb this
turbulence. Nash prohibited the carry
ing OF swords I'm the public rooms--and
his word was law. They were still,
however carried i'm the streets. but
even this custom was prohibited by
Nash after two notorious gamesters
had fought duel by torchlight and
thus brought reproach upon the place.
That was probably the first serious
blow To the general custom of gentle
men carrying swords, but the practice
has remnant even among us 10 this
very day.
The two useless, idle buttons worn
by men on the backs of their coats are
the successors Of the same buttons that
gentlemen swaggerers used century
ago to uphold the belts that carried
their swords.-Exchange.

1t Will be recalled that when in the

Omaha he was a listener rather than a
talker. He made speeches TO be sure,
but they were in the nature of attempts
to draw out his fellow citizens to dis
cuss the new problem Of the war rather
than to define his own ideas. His mes
sage. too, left about everything to Con.

ply presented the situation. Now tha

WHITE AND BROWN BREAD.

A recent hospital report by Drs. Lau-
der Brunton and Tunnicliffe deals with
the relative digestibllity OF white and
brown bread. 1t is thus summarized
in the British Medical Journal, Novem-
ber 8: "On the strength OF certain ex-
periments, which they described I'm full.
they feel justified in concluding that
the higher nutritive value which might
on purely chemical grounds be ascribed
to brown bread cannot be maintained
from the physiological side. With re-
gard TO fats and mineral constituents,
on the other hand. distinctly less of
the nutritive materials actually get into
the blood in the case OF brown than of
white bread. White bread is. weight
for weight, more nutritious than brown.
1t thus would appear that the prefer
encc given by operatives In large towns
TO white bread has TO a certain extent,
a sound physiological basis. In the
case OF people with irritable intestlnes
white bread is to be preferred to brown.
In the case OF people with sluggish
bowels brown bread IL to be preferable
to- white, as 1t tends TO maintain peris-
talsis and insures regular evacuation Of
raj ingredients, and especially of lime
salts, in other articles of food or drink
be insufficient, brown bread is prefer
able To white. Ii IL possible that in
case OF operatives living chiefly upon
bread and tea the preference for white
bread which prevails may be RESPONSE
BILE. i'm part. at least, for the early decay
of the teeth. Lastly. Drs. Brunton and
Tunnicliffe are Of opinion that IL the
an no inG tai In fat n
patient be unable TO digest fat readily
i'm other forms. brown bread may pos
slbly he preferable To white. The au-
thors rightly dwell on the absurdity OF
taking the mere chemical composition
OF a foodstuff as an index OF its nutri-
tive value. a stick of charcoal. the
atmospheric mir. a little water and some
sea salt. contain all the elements of "a
typical diet. and in ample quantity
Hence. IL IL not always "a question OF
what n foodstun contains, but how il
contains it.

Our anti-expansionist friends assume
10 know just what is best for the in
habitants OF the Philippines and they
are loud in proolaiming their opinion.
Not so the President. At the same time.
as an American proud Of his country's
institutions and confident in their SUI
periority, the President does not hesl-
tate TO say: 'Thst the inhabitants Of
the Philippines will be benefited by this
Republic is my unshaken belief. That
they will have klndlicr Government
under our guidance, and that they will
be aided In every possible way to be a
scif-respecting and self-govsrning peo-
pie is as true as that the American peo-
pie love liberty and have an abiding
faith in their own Government and IN
their own Institutions" And because
the President and the great majority OF
the American people feel that way is
no reason why the charge Of self
seeking imperial designs should be
bought by the sman Americans who
doubt their country's honesty and ca.
pacity for government.
