THE MODERN BOW.
1t Is the Last Stage of the Slaves
Humble PrOstrati0n.

The probability is that the origin Of the
custom of bowling can only be found by
going far back into the ages of antiquity,
when prostration was the attitude of the
slave before his master. What we call
politeness began in servilfty. There can
hardly be any doubt but that the practice
of boWing the head originated in expos
ing the neck to the stroke of the sword.
From it's earliest literal meaning 1t took
a fgurative one, meaning first submits
sion. then Difference, then mere polite
ness. Herbert Spencer says ''the nod or
bow of modern politeness is the last relic
of the prostration Of ancient servility."
In the same way we shake hands with
right instead of the left, because the right
was the sword hand and the giving of
1t into the hand of an enemy was a sign
Of peace and good faith. Taking off the
hat too, is a relic Of doffng the belmet
and so leaving the most vulnerable por-
ton Of the body undefended as a mark Of
confidence on entering the dwelling Of an
ally or friend.

facture Of paints. The new arrangement
means, therefore, that a new deal will be
made all around, and that the above gen

Benton, in speaking Of the matter, stated
distinctly that the new concern would be

The Metropolitan has for long time been re-
tarded the virtual owner Of the Fourth ave.

prise. The Madison-ave. stables are in a dis
trct which has been the scene OF considerable
real estate activity recently. and operators and
builders had been looking forward 10 the ex-
piration Of the Metropolitan lease on July l. as
meaning that the site would be subdivided into
lots and sold. The announcement that it is to
be retained by the street railroad even for a
car shed. may cause something OF a depression
in values in the immediate neighbour IT IS
hnted. however. that the Metropolitan company
cannot long afford to occupy such valuable
