Ignorance Of the Bible.

Biblical illusions, which permeate
our literature, touch no responsive
chord in the majority of college stu
dents nowadays, writes Prof. W. L..
Cross, in Education. Though some Of
them are fairly familiar with names
like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Samson,
David and Daniel, very few know any
thing about the lives of these men as
related In the scriptures. Not long
ago, to recall an extreme case, not one
of 40 students under my instruction
could quite place Judas Iscariot; and a
venerable colleague Of mine discov-
cred Jew among the seniors who had
never heard Of Moses. To lift the bur-
den of this ignorance, several colleges
have recently incorporated parts of
the Old Testament into their most
elementary courses in English with
great success from the standpoint
both of the student and Of the instruc-
tor. But knowledge Of the Bible OBJ
viously belongs to an earlier stage
than this. It 10 pity that political
and religious considerations stand in
the way Of introducing into the pub
lie schools an available body Of splen-
did literature Fortunately politics
and prejudice cannot hamper many Of
the. large preparatory schools.

Namlnu the Baby.

The naming of a baby is considered
important even among people whom
we are apt to regard as uncivilized.
And, curiously enough, these very
folk contrive to avoid the arguments
that so often ensue when father and
mother disagree over whether the lit
tie stranger shall be called Jack or
Marmaduke, Priscilla or Jane.
The Mahometan father and mother
each write the choice Of name on q
slip of paper and place both In the
Koran. Whichever slip is drawn first
is the name given to the child.
A pretty Egyptian custom is to light
three candles, naming each after a
god or some exalted parsonage. The
child is called after the candle which
burns longest.
Hindu mothers name their children,
paterfamilias not having word to
say in the matter. The naming cere-
mony usually takes place when the
baby is about 10 days old, and flower
name is usually chosen.
Chinese girls are simply numbered
one, two, or three, until they reach
years Of discretion, when they are al
lowed to choose a name for them
selves. The boys, however, are given
a temporary name until they are 20,
when pa decides what magnificent ap-
pellation they shall rejoice in for the
rest of their lives,-N. Y. Weekly.

Woman TOUGHER Than Man.

Although men, as they run, are per
haps muscularly stronger than WON
en-, their ability to Withstand the ele
ments and their reliance upon clothes
places them considerably below the so
called weaker sex in the matter Of un'
clothed toughness. Women wear
clothes for ornament; men use them
as a protective covering. A group 81
men marooned, clothesless on an island
in the temperate zone might be expect
ed to die off in a month from draughta
and colds and rheumatism. The health
Of women similarly placed would sui.
fer little from the enforced exposure,
The fact appears to be. therefore, that
In everything but muscle-in vitality.
ruggedness, character, disposition.
brain power, ETC., woman is the tough
or, pot the weaker. sex.

A Youngsters outspokenness That
Taught Grandpa Lesson.

There is a very well-known man In
Brooklyn who is particularly proud
Of his grandson, bright boy OF four
years and few months. But, like
all fond grandpas, he believed teas
ing amusing to the child as well as
to himself-and he recently received
the shock he deserved. The little lad
was playing tndustriously with a doll
when the proud grandpa said:
"Myl playing with doll-why your
name must be Susie-not Ralph"
No word from the boy, who kept
right on playing with the doll.
Susie" said the grandpa. just rush
ing to his fate. do you like dolls?"
The boy moved perceptbly, but
chung to the doll.
Dear little Susie-you used to be
a boy"
The boy lifted his head indignant
ly and with deep pathos, said: Grand
pa, l hate to tell you 80, but you're q
d fool"
Great was the CONSERVATION Of the
grandfather and amazement OF the
mother, who tragically ordered the boy
to his room, while she called atten'
ton to the tears that rolled down her
cheeks at such fearful offense. FL
nally she told the little fellow that ne
might be forgiven II he begged his
grandpa's pardon. But the boy be-
lieved his grandpa the offender and
said go. His mother sternly read him
a lesson against profanity, and espe-
cially about disrespect to grandpar-
ents. The little fellow was touched,
and going over to his grandpa said,
compromisingly:
IT am sorry I called you a d
fool-but If / cannot call you a fool
can l call you a lemon?"
Hereafter grandpa will call Ralph
by his right name.-Brooklyn Eagle.

HAS HOPE FOR TRANSIT BILL.
Allan Robinson Thinks Governor Will
Recommend Similar Measure

Allan Robinson. president Of the Allied Real Es-
tate Interests said last night that he thought Gov
ernor Hughes would have signed the Robinson
transit bill in its original form, and that he
thought the amendments TO II caused the Governor
refuse sign II. He said still had hopes
that the Governor would recommend TO the Legis-
lature and have passed during the extra session a
bill that would carry out the original intent Of the
Robinson measure.
AsSemblymar Beverly L Robinson said he
thought it extremely improbable that any further
action would be taker transit matters this year.
4 think the Legislature has all the work before IT
that IL viii do during, the
sion, and believe my bill viii have tc &c over 10
next year he said. Mr.. Robinson also said that
he thought Governor Hughes objected 10 the
amendment which changed the term OF possible
franchises from twenty-five to fifty years
i was not unprepared for the Governors action
in reference the Robinson BILL said Allan Rob
inson last night ''Ever since this bill amend
ed after its introduction such action has been
than possibility. Until the Governor states
his reasons for killing the bill 1t would be i'm
proper for me to express myself in reference TO
them, but feel quite that originally
drawn by the Allied Real Estate Interests this
measure did not contain any features which would
have been objected TO by the Governor"
