The LARGEST Photographs

The instant success which the pub
fishers claimed for the beautiful new
magazine, Country Life in America, is
said to be considerably augmented by
a demand for nearly so per cent. more
copies of the Christmas number, in
GLIDING the tremendous large and SUI
perb photograph Of a grove Of big
trees, issued as a supplement over
three feet long. The new feature has
proved so popular the editors expect
to reproduce other record breaking
photographs, some even larger than
that of the giant redwoods. On the
ample pages Of the magazine itself
some Of the pictures are no less than
Is inches long, and the claim of being
the most beautiful magazine published
may be a warranted distinction, be-
cause Of the unique beauty Of the sub
jects of which II treats. The January

certainly will offer some unusual OPP
portunities Of illustration with so large
photographs on many subjects from
garden making and fruit growing,
pleasant homes. estates and great
ranches, to the diversified natural
beauties and curiosities of the Pacific
Coast. not forgetting, of course, the
popyworts and ella monsters.

THE OLDEST UNIVERSITY
IN THE WORLD

The course of study at the Universe
ty of Cairo would have many attrac-
lions for American college boys who
dislike the drudgery of Rotations and
classroom discipline. An Arab student
presents himself with a copy Of the
Koran, a blanket, and a loaf of bread.
A vacant place is assigned him on the
f1oor-matting which becomes his dor
mitory while he stays. He studies
when he pleases, then he sleeps or
eats, after which he resumes the quest
for learning. This is probably the old
est university in the world. 1t was
founded In 9SS A. D. and was a thriv-
ing institution before Oxford opened
it's doors.

Hundreds of thousands Of tons Of
stone have been removed. by genera

The irony of history appears contin-
ually in many things. The name of
Hector, the noblest Of antique heroes,
is applied today to the most ignoble
actions only; the greatest scholar and
most learned man in his century is
immortalized in the word Ounce, and
in our own times lynching and the
lynch law bark back to a man who
was a peaceable patriot and law
abiding citizen, and who would proba-
bly, turn over in his grave if he knew
to what base uses his Quaker name had
come at last!
Compelled to assume authority at a
certain Revolutionary crisis, in the
absence Of civil officers who had fled.
his firm but not severe measures have
entailed the name of Lynch upon all
subsequent lawless happenings, wher-
ever people take the law into their
own hands.
In the December Atlantic Mr. Thorn
as Walker Page gives a most enter
tanning account of the man himself,
and the more than strange history and
series Of events which have made the
name Of this abiding Virginia
Quaker the worldwide synonym for
organized savagery.

According to one Of Miss Wilkins's
characters in THE Portion of Labor, -
the punishment melted out to those who
have been too much married is that
they shall hereafter be doomed to cell
bacy. Il don't know what l should
do" says Mrs. Norman Lloyd, IF
thought Norman would marry again
if I died. I think one husband and
one wife is enough for any man or
woman if they believe in the resur-
rection. 1t has always seemed to me
that the answer to that awful ques-
ton in the New Testament, as to
whose wife that woman who had so
many husbands would be in the other
world, meant that people who had done
so much marrying on earth would
have TO be old maids and old bachelors
in heaven"

In their amusements Christians and

ing the truces, the two frequently en-
gagged in jousts and proved one an
others skill in horsemanshiD, in the
use Of the lance, in the welding Of
the sword, and in the hurting of the
spear. All. even the knights Of the re-
igious orders. entered with zest into
these friendly rivalries. Both Chris
tian and infldel were extremely fond
of hunting and falconry. A long section
in the Asszes is devoted to the laws
concerning the latter subject. Ousama,
in his autobiography, devoted many
pages to accounts of hunting exper-
fences and to the art Of falconry The
crusading leaders took their hunting
dogs and falcons with them as a mat
ter of course when they set out on the
holy war. AS the close proximity of
the enemy exposed both parties to con-
slant attack, hunting agreements were
made by which each might hunt in Sc
curity on disputed territory. Gifts of
dogs and hawks were interchanged,
and friendships were sometimes formed
because Of the natural interest in
breeding hunting animals.
