As We Grow Older.

John Hays admirers in the press
Of all periodicities. from book to daily
paper, like to have fun with him by
raking up his poems and essays of
youth with their passionate, free-and-
unqualified democracy, and contrast
ing them with the Conservatism
the caution, the "if and-and-and
provided that" craftsmanship of his
present matured manhood. Lost
Ideals" or 'lost Illusions" they say
according as they are radicals or con-
servatives.
This is an interesting study, this
change in a man as he grows older.
And some will sigh and some will ap-
prove as they see how ninety-nine
men out of hundred, as the Years
pass. abandon one by one the high
and burning hopes and dreams and
enthusiasms of youth.
But there is this to be said: now
and then there is a very great man
Ia Gladstone or a CleVeland-whose
| fire of belief and hope burns more
| brightly as the fires of life abate.
| Cleveland began almost without
ideals, so practical was his young
character: his most recent public ut
terance has been an an almost i'm
| passioned plea for the loftiest ideals
for a people too noble to be inso-
lent in power or cringing in poverty;
| too proud to take the wages of de-
pendence, however rich; too naughty
to pause before the consequences
of material sacrifice for the sake OF
abstract right. And Gladstone-his
FIRST speech in the Common, at eight
cen or thereabouts, was defense OF
human slavery; his last speech there
at beyond fourscore, was a burning
ldenunciation of that mighty and ven-
erable bulwark against the license
of democracy-the house of lords

THE PORTABLE WATCH.
1t Was Probably First Used In th'
sixteenth Century.

1t Was Probably First Used In the
sixteenth Century.
There is uncertainty as to when the
portable watch, as we understand it to-
day. came into use. 1t was probably
at the close of the sixteenth century.
Queen Elizabeth owned large num-
ber of watches. Mary, queen of Scots,
was the possessor Of a skull shaped
watch. In fact, the deaths head
pattern was at that time much in
vogue. Endless were the styles, for
there were watches shaped like books,
pears, butterflies and tulips. The
Nuremberg egg was special shape
and was first made in 1000 Those
queer shapes of watches prevented
their finding a place in the pocket.
When was the fob first used in the
dress of man? The German of fob is
"fuppe." and it is believed that it came
from England through the Puritans,
"whose dislike for display may have
induced them to conceal their time
keepers from the public gaze This
conjecture is strengthened by the fact
that a short fob chain attached to Il
watch of Oliver Cromwell in the Brit
ish museum is in point of date the first
appendage of the kind known. The
watch is a small oval one in silver
case and was made about 1925 by
John Midnall of Fleet street.

pRrNcEroN-HARvARD DEBATE.
win Discuss Phases of College Self
Government.

Princeton. n. j., March 2S.-E\een
interest is manifested in the nth an
nual Princeton Harvard debate, which
takes place this evening in Alexander
Hall The subject of debate is en-
braced in the following proposition:
Resolved, That the free elective
system is the best available plan for
the undergraduate course of study; it
being understood % that the free
elective system is one based on the
principle that each student should Sc
lect for himself all his studies
throughout his college course; CD
the free elective system thus defined
exists even when minor part of the
studies of freshman year is pre-
scribed."
\ unique feature of the contest is
that the Princeton debaters will argue
in favor of the Harvard free elective
system of studies, while the Harvard
team will present the Princeton sys-
TEN of restricted elective studies.

ORIGIN OF PARISHES.
They Were Founded In 66s by the
Archbishop of Canterbury.

They Were Founded In 66s by the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
Theodore. archbishop of Canterbury
in 6GS, is regarded as the founder of
the parochial system. Parishes were
originally measured by and made to
follow the lines of existing townships,
a parish being, in short, the township
in it's ecclesiastical character. Where
a township was too small to require
or to support Il separate church and
priest two or more townships were
united to form one parish.
In other cases the clergy of manorial
churches built by the mobiles had no
Jurisdiction over a parish extending to
the limits of their lords estate. Thus
no Legislative act was needed, and par
ishes were mapped out gradually, az
the multiplication of churches and cler-
gy, which Theodore did so much to eff
feet, made it desirable to define clearly
the areas within which the clergy had
to work 1t was not till long after
Theodore's death-Green says about
the middle of the eighth century-that
this division of the country into par
ishes was completed. - London Tele-

WINDMILLS.
Europe Got Them From the East
Through the Crusaders.

Europe Got Them From the East
Through the Crusaders.
1t is supposed that the crusaders
brought the idea Of using the wind to
grind corn or raise water back with
them from the east.
Early writers record their wide
spread employment in Europe in the
twelfth century. Beckmann gives an
instance of one at Pipewell abbey,
Northamptonshire, in 1143, and we also
read of one, about 1880, at Haberdon,
In Suffolk. Another early instance Of
an English windmill is that in which
Richard. earl of Cornwall, took refuge
after the battle of Lewes in 1864. In
the famous song connected with that
event the "sayles' of the ''mulne" are
mentioned. showing that it really was
a windmill.
The oldest windmill in Belgium and
probably the Oldest in Europe, the his
toric "Grand Moulin de silly" was to-
tally destroyed by the great storm at
the end of January, 1900 after a con-
tlnuous existence since the eleventh
century. 1T is said to have been built
by Otto Won Trazegnies, the crusading
lord of Silly, in 1011.-London Stand

Washington, March 2S.-The West
has much to expect from Commits
sioner Leupp of Indian Affairs.
Speaking to the Scripps-McRae cor
respondent the other day the COM
missioner outlined a policy which
undoubtedly will be welcome news to
the West
The commissioner announced that
during the next four years it would
be his aim to throw open every Indi-
an reservation in the country. and
that he hoped to leave his office with
the satisfaction of having accom-
plished this end. He said that a pro-
vision in the Indian appropriation bill
which passed at the last session of
congress will enable him to follow out
This plan.
The law in question was put into
the Indian appropriation bill with the
understanding of President Roose-
Nelt and Secretary Hitchcock. and as
it empowers the president to desig-
nate reservations to be thrown open
no friction may be expected from the
quarters.

this will not prevent the Indian Of
flee making preparations in advance
for the proposed openings. 1t can be
stated with authority that such ar
rangements are already under way
for the opening of several of the
Western Indian reservations, among
them the Colville reservation in
Washington, the klamath reserva-
ton in Oregon, the Fort Hall in
Idaho, and the Flathead in Montana.
The Usage reservation in Oklahoma.
will also be included This reserva-
ton is one of the largest and richest
in the country. Recently great oil
fields were discovered on this reser-
walton and the rush of prospectors
to this district has not yet come to
an end.
The opening of the above reserva-
tions will mean the opening to settle
ment by white men of over a quarter
of a million acres of the best agri-
cultural lands of the nation. It will
mean another exodus from the East
to the Western prairie. The move

HERoIeM IN ANIMALS.

Brute Maternal AnectiOn.


Brute Maternal Affection.
A writer on natural history complains
that men are prone to regard mascu-
line courage in defense of others as
virtue purely human. In reality self
sacrifice for the female sex or for the
young is part of the scheme Of nature
and every male thing is strong and
splendid in appearance because he is
the descendant Of those who have
proudly held and guarded 1.-The privi-
lege of DEATH Another writer tells a
story which illustrates this point Two
entomologists, hunting at night, clam
bered over a gate with their swinging
lanterns and found themselves in field
filed with sheep. The result of their
coming was panic and a furious STAN
pede. The sheep charged helter skelter
away from the lanterns and huddled to-
gether ut the far end of the field. But
there was a ram among them, and as
the flock scurried away this creature
stood firm, covering the retreat. Then,
steadily and majestically. the huge ram
advanced with lowered head toward
the mysterious lights and pressed them
back to the gate. This is only one
graphic story of many that might be
told of masculine courage throughout
nature. Man has some virtues which
animals, so far as we can judge, know
nothing about; but heroism-the pride
Of affording protection to the weak
and daring death for the security of
the fock-is not human attribute
alone, any more than is maternal af-

A WOMAN'S NAME.
Origin of the Custom of Changing
IL When she Marries.

origin of the Custom of Changing
Il When she Marries.
The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name Of
her husband at marriage is involved in
much obscurity A recent authority
advances the opinion that it originated
from a Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
of England. Thus Julia and Octavia,
married to Pompey and Cicero, were
called by the Romans Julia of Pom
pey and Octavia Of Cicero. and in later
times the married women of most Eu-
ropean countries signed their names in
the same way, but omitted the "of."
In spite of this theory it is a fact that
as late as the sixteenth and the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century
Catherine Parr signed her name with
out any change, though she had been
twice married. We also hear of Lady
Jane Grey, not Dudley, and Arabella
Stuart, not Seymour etc. Some think
that the custom originated with the
Scriptural idea that the husband and
wife are one. This was the rule of
law as far back as 1868. and it was de-
cided in the case of Bon versus Smith
in the reign of Elizabeth that woman
by marriage loses her former name
and legally receives the name of her
husband.-New York Herald.

One cold December day in 1901 Gu
glielmo Marconi sat still in room in
the government building at Signal hill,
st. Johns, n. f., with telephone re-
ceiver at his ear and his eye on the
clock that licked loudly near by. Over
head flew his kite bearing his receiv-
Ing wire. 1t was 1870 o'clock on the
American side of the ocean, and Mar
conf had ordered - operator in faroff
Poldhu, 1000 watery miles away, to
begin signaling the letter S-three dots
of the Morse code three flashes Of the

hour. For six years he had been look
ing forward to and working for that
moment. the final test of all his eff
fort and the beginning of new tri-
umph He sat waiting to hear three
small sounds, the br-br-br of the Morse
code S. humming on the diaphragm Of
his receiver, the signature of the ether
waves that had Travelled 1000 miles to
his listening ear. AS the hands of the
clock, whose ticking alone broke the
stiffness of the room, reached thirty
minutes past u the receiver at the
inventors ear began to hum, br-br-br,
as distinctly as the sharp rap of pen
ell on table. The unmistakable note
of the ether vibrations sounded in the
telephone receiver. The telephone re
ceiver was used instead of the usual
recorder on account of its superior SEN
sitiveness.
