Origin Of the "sroad Arrows


 The unmistakable broad arrow" oe which the escaping Gloucester con, victs naturally tried to rid themselves as soon as possible. has no inherent penal significance. but is simply tho sign of state ownership on the prison clothes, says the London Chronicle. How this arrow came to be . royal mark is quite uncertain. The story that 1t was taken from the arms of Henry viscount Sydney, who was mas. ter general of ordnance at the end Of , the seventeenth century. is exploded by the fact that It was a royal mark before his time. Pepys hankered af. l ter the idea that the arrow" might be really an anchor. and others have sean in 1t commemoration of the English archers' prowess. It has been boldly , identified also as the three malls of the cross. as mystic Druid letter slg. nifying superiority, and as the symbol of Mithras as sun god.

Remarkable Austrian Church.

A small watering place in Austria, named Eichwald. can boast of possess ing remarkable church. It was first built by an Italian architect at Venice at the expense of Prince Carlos Clary- Aldringen. who is great admirer of Italian architecture. When it was fin- ished the church was taken to pieces and packed in thousands of numbered cases for transportation to Eichwald. At that place 1t was eventually rebuilt and then made over to its inhabitants as gift from the prince.

"it Suits to a r."

The clause, Tt Suits to a T." mean. ing 1t fits exactly, is as old as the familiar instrument, the .T-square, or T-rule (so-called from its resemblance to the letter T). used by mechanics and draftsmen for making angles true and for obtaining perpendiculars. The expression was in common use In the time of Dr. Johnson. who is quoted by Boswell as saying of Wharburton. You see they'd have fitted him to a T."-Sunday Magazine.

There are always movements" in
Massachusetts. One of the latest is a
movement to secure the passage in the
forthcoming session of the Massachu
sets legislature Of a bill authorizing
any of the enc hundred and eighty-nine
savings banks Of the state to under
take Industrial insurance under certain
salutary restrictions. Thirty trustees
Of Bay State savings banks have al
ready enrolled themselves as members
of the League which is moving the
movement, On the Leagues list also
are such names as those of the Rt. Rev.
William Lawrence, Bishop Of Massa-
chusetts; President Eliot, of Harvard
University; Thomas B, Fitzpatrick
President Of the Union Institution for
Savings Robert Treat Paine Robert
Luce, Judge Francis c. Lowell, Hon.
Joseph Walker, Professor F. w. Taus-
sig, of the Department of Economies
Harvard University; Hon. Frederick
Dodge, Of the United States Courts,
Boston; William L. Winslow, trustee OF
the Five-Cent Savings Bank, Fall Riv-
er; James j. storrow, Chairman Of the
Boston School Board, and very many
more. Numerous labor organizations
have approved the plan, and the cen
trail body at Boston has requested all
unions throughout the State to take the
matter into consideration.
This is decidedly interesting. The
people seem to have SOME real friends
in Massachusetts,, If nowhere else.

We MAY BE HAPPY YET.

The poet says Into each life some
rain must fall" and the saying seems
poetical enough to pass, But there IS
nothing poetical in the way rain has
been falling into the lives around here
during the last week. 1t has helped to
make said lives prosaically dreary,
sloppy and grippy. The last part of
the sad old year and the first part of
the glad new year have been so dem
milton moist that they didn't seem as
different as they really were. But the
indications are that We have got start
ed nov, and that the Happy New Year
isn't going to be really drowned. So
let us cheer up. BY and by after the
January thaw, the February thaw, the
March winds and few other things
we shall come to the time of the sing
ing of birds and the voice of the turtle.
Then we shall be happy. Or, If not
then, in the good old summer time. If
not then, in autumn's golden glow.
And If in any way it should happen
that we are not quite happy in the
fall the HappI New Year will be just
ahead of us, reckoning us on to real
and lasting JOY.

There is nobody now to tell things TO;
your house is so lonely;
And still I'm forgetting and bring my
tale to you only.
The old days are over; how pleasant
they were, the fine weather,

And turn to you still with my tale, and

rROSP ERITR As SHE rs.

John D. Rockefeller has more than
limited that prosperity is shrinking, and
Stuyvesant Fish has gone him several
better, or worse. But 1t has remained
for Kansas woman to tell the story
just about as it Is for most folks. Il
am so tired of reading Of prosperity"
writes woman to the Atchison Globe,
that unless you quit talking about
the wonderful prosperity of 1906 / in
tend to stop taking your paper. I have
worked hard all the year and though
my husbands wages have been raised
twice, my income is the same, and
everything has advanced SO in price
that l have less pin money than ever
before. Do you think it is prosperity
when woman has II kin, so friends
and IA neighbors to buy for, and only
81 to buy with? If there is any great
prosperity flying around, I'd like to see
the color of It,"
OF course this woman doesn't notice
the big bond and stock issues that de-
note prosperity. They mean nothing to
her But she does notice that she has
MT much. or much to buy with. So
she thinks the much talked Of prosper
ity is largely humbug.
