New Women In Scotland.

In Scotland where there are no wom-
en- lawyers a woman is suing the In
corporated Society Of Law Agents,
which is the Scotch Bar association, to
compel the society to admit her to ex-
animation so that she may be entitled
to practice as full-fedged attorney
The society does not seem to care
much whether she becomes a lawyer
or not. In an answer to her plea, filed
with the court, it says that the court
had better decide the matter. It does
not feel itself called upon either by
duty or interest to maintain that wom-
en- might not be admitted to the prac-
tice Of law; the society can only state
that no woman has hitherto been ad-
mitted and that there are certain pub
lie offices open to lawyers for which
women probably would not be suited.
The court is likely to grant the wom-
ans plea

REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT,
Big Price PIT i + the Ancient Volume
"Evangelia Cuatuor."

Zig Price Pa the Ancient Volume
"Evangelia Cuatuor.'
The splendid manuscript Of the
"Evangelia Quatuor' which for over go
years has been in the possession OF the
earls of Ashburnham, was sold re-
Gently by private treaty to purchaser
who is not an inhabitant of England.
The price paid is $4,000, probably the
highest sum ever paid for single vol
ume. The history Of the volumes, one
Of the most important and beautiful
examples of early goldsmiths' and jew
elers art in existence, is definite and
simple. 1t belonged for many centu-
ries to the Abbey of Noble Canoness,
founded A. D. S34, by the Emperor
Lewis the Pious, at Landau, on the
Lake of Constance. The binding is
formed Of stout boards lined on the in
side with ancient embroidered silk and
covered with our Savior on the cross
the surface with raised borders and
lines of fretwork in gold and studded
with 327 emeralds, sapphires, car
buncles, pearls, and other precious
stones. The lowed cover is formed
into cross patee, with border OF
mosaic enamels and set with IS pre-
cious stones. The covers of the book
date from about the end Of the eighth
century, or probably rather later. This
Evangeliarium, or Textus, is not mere
ly interesting as work Of art; it is
associated on the one side with the
early history of Christianity in Bava-
ria, and the part which the Irish &C.
clesiastics took in it's Introduction into
that district, and on the other with
that great dynasty which played SO
important part in the history of Eu-
rope. AS far as the manuscript itself
is concerned, it is not enriched with
the fine miniatures which adorn the
best examples OF the Carlovlngian
school, and the inside Of the book IS
distinctly less interesting than the out
side. 1t consists Of 220 pages of vel
lum, 1925 inches by 10 inches, and COM
prlses the text of the four gospels Of
Jerome's version, preceded by their ar
guments or prefaces. (St. Luke having
tWo), and by the epistle Of Jerome to
the Pope Damascus, with tales Of the
Eusebian Canons. The writing is Of
German origin and the text is by sew
eral scribes, written not earlier than
$50. The appearance of an unpreten-
t1Ous book in such a splendid dress is
explained by the probability that the
manuscript has usurped the place of an
older and finer copy, more in harmony
with the covers.

THE PARENTAL NlcKNAME.l

vicissltud,s of Papa and "Mamms"
and ''Governur' In England. &s
In our own country papa" and
mamma" have been in familiar use
for some three hundred years at least,
says the London Globe. They prob I
ably reached us from Italy, where their
use was of much older date. DAME
uses mamma in the "Purgatorio.'
Words Of this kind are often in COM !
mon and familiar use long before they
find their way into the written Ian
guage Of books, so that it would not
be easy to say when papa ana
mamma were first heard among us,
but one of the earliest literary traces
Of their use is to be found in Lyly's
"Euphues' 0579), an Italian story
crammed with curious verbal absurd
tiles, for the most part copied or 1m1-
tated fro. the Italian fashions ana
affectations of the day. From that
time instances of the use OF. one or the
other Of the words, or Of both, are
fairly common il literature. =
Another familiar and childish va
RANT is dad" or daddy" Dad or
tad" as the earlier form is, is a pure
Welsh word, and is of great antiquity.
The Lords Prayer begins in Welsh
with the words Elm Tad" or Elm
Dad" the first word Of the phrase
meaning Our" Dad with it's deri-
vatives daddy" and dada" has long
been familiar in the mouths of Eng
lish children. Like "papa," 1t was
doubtless in use many years before lit
erature took note of it; still, It Is
found more than two centuries ago In
a burlesque poem attacking James II.
The doggerel contains both "dad' and

have other equivalents for father and
mother. Boys who think that-the are
too big to use the tender sounding
names which were familiar to their in

phrase ftcted by sons who look upon
their fathers chiefly as the source OF

attractive nor disniGed. When daddy

put &Si lie as too childish or are dis
carde>l for any other reason. there are
no parental names which can for
moment compare with the simple, but

BUSY BEST PEOPLE,"



ers and Other Lawbreakers.
Anyone who thinks ''our best peo-
ple'' have an easy time of it is mis-
taken, says the Chicago Journal. They
are always up and doing. The man
who reads the newspapers will readily
ly doing those things that they ought
not to be doing. Indeed, according
to all accounts, our best people,
busy themselves principally with other
peoples business. Surely everyone
must have noticed that the recent
raids in Kansas we're conducted by
some of our best people," They were
the ones who rallied to Mrs Nations
support; they were the ones who, in
spired by her example, WELD axes and
hatchets in localities that she over
looked. But Kansas is not. the only
state where our best people" have
been busy; not by good deal. They
had a hand in the last lynching re-
ported, for the truthful correspondent
asserted that some of our best peo-
pie were foremost in the crowd
That's always the way. No one ever
heard of man being tarred and
feathered, or of a. drug store being
wrecked, or Of whitecap outrage be-
ing perpetrated, or OF the prerogatives
of the law being usurped in any way,
that some of our best people" were
not involved in it. They seem to be
most perniciOusly busy all the time
and the ordinary, prosaic, matter-of-
fact. law-abiding citizen has reason to
be thankful that he does not get mixed
up with them. According to present
indications the term will soon be one
of reproach, and to shoot a man for
calling you "one of our best people"
will be justifiable homicide.

IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE,
Inactivity Potent Cause of Atrophy
and Degeneration.

ana degeneration.
Regular exercise is essential to the
preservation of health; inactivity is a
potent cause Of atrophy and degenera-
ton. The vigor and equality of the
circulation, the functions Ola the skin
and the aeration of the blood are all
promoted by muscular activity, which
thus keeps up a proper balance and
relation between the important organs
of the body. In youth the vigor of the
system is often so great that, if one
organ be sluggish, another part will
make amends for the deficiency by
acting vicariously, and without any
consequent damage to itself. In old
age the task cannot thus be shifted
from one organ to another. The work
allotted to each sufficiently taxes
strength, and vicarious action cannot
be performed without mischief. Hence
the Importance of maintaining as far
as possible the equable action of all
the bodily organs, SO that the share Of
the vital processes assigned to each
shall be properly accomplished. For
this reason eXelc else is an important
part Of the conduct of life in old age;
but discretion is absolutely necessary.
An old man should discover by expe-
rience how much exercise he can take
without exhausting his powers, and
should be careful not to exceed the
limit Old persons are apt to forget
that their staying-powers are much
less than they once were, and that,
while walk Of two or three miles
may prove easy and pleasurable, the
addition CT the return journey of SIM
liar length will seriously overtax the
strength.

Will Be Elected.

The selection of Don H. Bacon of Minne- sota for chairman of the board of direc- tors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company has been approved by the executive committee, and he will enter upon his new duties about February l. The executive committee acted upon this selection at a meeting held in New York yesterday.
 MT Bacon has been president of the Min nesota Iron Company for the past ten years, and for three or four years prior to his election as president of that company he was general superintendent, and later geenral manager of the company at Tower, Minn. Twenty-Five years ago he began his mining experience at the Cleveland mine at fshpeming, Mich. Continuously since that time he has been actively connected with the mining industry in Michigan and Minnesota.
 The executive committee of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company at the meeting ye Aarday recommended that no dividend on the common stock be declared at this time. This action was based on the advice of President Baxter. The usual dividend was declared on the preferred stock
 The company earned per cent on its common stock last year, but 1t was deemed inadvisable to distribute the money in view of the expenditures made last year and to be made this year in new constructions now in progress.
 The New York Commercial Is authority for the statement that two directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company will resign, or fail of reelection at the annual meeting to be held next month. This will result in the election of two new members on the board. One of these will be Don H.
