A Per.ornI Application.

When one OF the large benefacto OF
Harvard college library was 2 business
man i'm Lawrence a customer Of his
firm contracted debt which ran along
for year or more without any signs
OF settlement. Several letters, says
the Boston Herald, failed TO bring
about liquidation.
One day, while glancing over the re-
ligious notices in a local paper, Har-
wards benefactor saw something which
gave him an inspiration, and he went
TO his desk and wrote the following
note to the debtor:

The Circle He Drew From which
Grew n Famous Phrase.
Giotto wss famous painter, sculp-
tor and architect OF the latter part Of
the thirteenth century. He was a son
OF a poor shepherd, but the attention
OF the great master, Cimsbue, having
been attracted 10 the boy BY a draw
ing the lad had made on a fragment Of
slate. the young artists fame spread
rapidly throughout southern Europe
In those days il was customary for
the popes to send for the noted men
OF their realm, more for the purpose Of
gratifying their desires TO see such
celebrities than anything else Giotto
was no exception % the rule. No
sooner had the young Tuscan become
famous than Pope Boniface VIII in
vited him 70 Florence. When young
Giotto arrived at the gates OF the
pope's private grounds. according to
the account, The guard halted him and
inquired concerning his mission.
The artist made the matter plain. but
the guard was not satisfied with the
explanation. frequently interruptiDg
Giotto's explanatory remarks with. L
know he must be q much larger and
distinguished looking person than your
self" and "Giotto. too, Is a famous
painter BY your walk would take
you to be a shepherd" Finally. upon
demanding evidence o. the artists
skill the latter stopped and traced a
perfect o in the dust Of the path with
his finger. ANY one who has ever at
tempted the fest OF drawing a perfect
CIRCLE "onhsnd" well knows how diff
cult IL is.
Il is needless 10 add that the artist
was forthwith ushered into the pres
ence OF the supreme pOntih, and that
since that time "Rounder than Giotto's
o. has been a favorite hyperbole to in
dictate impossible perfection"

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.

Borrowed Military Terms From the
Arabic and the Spanish.
In the early days the rank of admiral
was unknown The chief officer of a
squadron was called a constable or JUS
tice. The term admiral as now used
is derived from the Arabic amir" or
'emir," a commander (as in "amir-al-
bahr," commander OF the sea-. The
early English form was "amiraIv and
Is still preserved as such by the
French The Spanish and Portuguese
terms are "almirante," the Italian
''ammiragliO." The title captain is not
q naval but a military one Under the
older organization the real captain of
a ship was master, but a military Of
icer was placed on board, though he
knew nothing about nautical affairs.
AS the captain became bigger and big
ger the master became smaller and
smaller until at the present day he
fills a subordinate position, which is
gradually becoming obsolete, being re-
placed by an officer under the title of
a navigating lieutenant
Commodore comes from the Spanish
commentator" The title lieutenant,
borrowed directly from the French, is
more modern and is meant as a place
holder or one who took the place Of
the captain when absent. Subieuten-
ant is stiH more modern and at the
same time q miSnOmer. rs he never
was a sublieUtenant, but merely a
mate. or one who assisted. In former
days we had no cadets, but volun-
teers. However, with the gradual ad-
vance Of pOlitness, the more seemly
term Of cadets was borrowed from the
French and adopted as the title Of the
young gentlemen In our navy.
In place Of paymssters the ships OF
old had pursers. who looked after the
provisions. The naval purser did more.
he had charge OF the stores OF the
ship and the money chest. Surgeons
and surgeons mates fulfilled the duties
Of the doctors. Chaplalns are Of mod
ern introduction Naval instructors
and schoolmasters ruled in their stead.
The term mate was rather universal
Ane and applied to all branches.

summer he came north in Il sleeping

it was too hot to sleep i'll that stuffy

put up the upper berth SO he might

pealed to the conductor. The rules
were quoted again.
Then Brownlow said things in the

sweltered all night. In the morning,
hot and tired, he swore Il mighty oath

URGE IMPRISONMENT
/. FOR AUTO SCORCHERS
New Jersey State Grange Wants
StriCter Laws to Guard Safety
of Roads.

TRENTON, Dec. S:-Resolutions
on the automobile question
adopted yesterday by the New Jer-
sey state grange, Patrons of Husban-
dry. after an interesting discussion,
and this proved to be n of the main
features of the second days session
of the thirty-third annual meeting.
Two resolutions with various pro-
visions had been introduced and re-
ferred to the resolutions committee.
This committee yesterday reported a
substitute. 1t authorized the legis-
lative committee to use all proper
means to secure legislation restrict
ing the use of automobiles on the
public roads of the state. 1t spoke
for such speed regulations as would
tend to prevent the accidents which
have been common of late. No spec
flied speed per mile was referred to.
The substitute resolution also insist
ed that the law should provide for
fine and Imprisonment in every con-
viction for violations, as at present.
The resolution was adopted.
Another resolution created a live
ly discussion. 1t favored the repeal
of that section of the road law passed
last winter which created township
road supervisors. The new act puts
the supervisors under state regula-
ton and practically on state pay, as
their salaries come out of the states
share of the cost of road construc-
ton. The committee presented an
adverse report on the question of
adopting this resolution and the re-
port a adopted. thus placing the
grange on record as opposing the re-
peal.
AT last evenings session the sixth
degree, the highest in the state
grange, was conferred on a class of
81. The degree work was in full GER
emonial form and vas most impress
sive. Besides the 200 delegates,
there were $50 visiting members
present. The session was one of the
most satisfactory of the present meet
ing. The sixth degree has been con-
ferred at several special meetings
during the past year, so that the to-
tai number Of members receiving it
this year has been about 1000.

are there, They meet us in the jung
les of Africa; they waylay us even in
the Atlantic Ocean; and when we
tread the prairies of North America,
behold, ,sey are tAere. May their
light ana Their goodness be equal to
their powe.. and in the General AS
sembly of Heaven let no reporter be
excluded
