A SHIP LOO YEARS OLD.
Viking Funeral Ship Of That Age
Found I'm Norway.

An interesting communication has
been made to the French Academic
des Inscriptions ct Belle-lettres by M.
Gabriel Gustafson, curator of the
Chrstiania Museum, concerning the
recent discovery In Norway Of a Viking
funeral ship at least LOO years old
Its mortuary chamber contained the
bodies OF two women. who, Judging
from the size of the craft and the.
elaborateness of its appointments, evil
IDENTIFY belonged to some noble and
wealthy family. The vessel, which Is
seventy feet long and sixteen feet six
inches broad. was dug out of tumu
lus two and one half miles from the
shore on the farm of Oseburg. near
Tonsberg The treasure was not in
tact. At some remote period, prob
ably hundreds of years ago. 1t had
been unearthed by INSCRIPTIONS Wis
itors. who had pillaged the mortuary
chamber OF many of the curious relics

cordance with ancient Morse tradi-

that the funeral ship belongs to the

demned to accompany his mistress in
her last sleep. Many Of the ornaments,

THE TOY SHOP; a story Of lincoln.

trated. Published by Harper e.
Brothers. New York. 80 cents: at
Judd's.
This Is a story OF Lincoln. and those
who remember its original appearance
in Harper's Magazine will have much
pleasure In this small pocket edition
OF the Harpers' Assuredly the CON
ceptlon OF Abraham Lincoln which
pictures him as finding refuge from
others In the secluded shop OF an old
top maker, and refuge for himself in
the contemplation of mimic regi-
ment whose captain, though frai as
tin, stood firm before hts soldiers, IL
human rs we'll rs idyllic, manllke as
we'll as heroic, There Is Lincoln Wis
ltlng the top shop IN the gloam OF n
winter evening, and talking with the
old toy maker, veteran. of Napoleon's
wars, who unconsciously wrings the
overburdened presidents heart with
tales Of his emperor, who never doubt
ed. never wavered. There is Lincoln
coming to the shop again. this time in
the summer, and planning his cam
paign with tin soldiers on the little
counter. Then, when the war Is over,
there Is Lincoln, searcher OF mems
hearts, comforting his friend the toy
maker as the old man nears death,
leaving him. in truth, with the
thought that here is a greater than Ma
poleon; that II the emperor, too. had
loved toys he need not have died on
st. Helena. Then at last news of the
assassination comes TO tho toy shop
and one feels the mighty throb OF sor-
row that passed through the whole
country In the impression made on
the heart OF one humble man.
II would he difficult for any one not

brings lump to the throat and a
glimpse of glory to the eyes.

In following They are In
deed In the habit OF employing both
degrees In such cases: but 1t Is safe to
assert that where with them the COM
parative Is found once. the superlative
Is found at least twice. 1t would be
easy TO I'll pages with examples OF
this latter usage drawn from the
great authors belonging to our litera.

selves to that specially restricted feld
In which the duality Is rendered al
most obtrusive by the Introduction OF
the word two, This necessarily throws
out Of consideration the far moro
numerous Instances in which the con-
struction Is not reinforced by the
numeral, as, for instance, in Tenny-
sons Princess" where inquiry as to
the merits of Lady Blanche and of
Lady Psyche as tutors is put In the

be supplied out Of the much moro

authors who represent various periods
of our literature. and various sorts as
well as grades of intellectual achieve

definitely in furnishing examples OF
this usage from authors of every rank
In English literature. But there Is q

The morning journal-courier. (New Haven, Conn.) 1907-1913, 1908-09-28

Prof. Thomas r. Jounsbury of Yale
has a fresh start for the gramma-
rians in his article In Harper's Mag
azlne In which he defends the use of
the superlatiye degree In comparing
two objects;
There Is a rule regarding the super
lative which has the distinction of be-
Ing pretty regularly enjoined by those
who write about usage and very regu-
larly disregarded by those whose writ
ings constitute authority for usage.
Tt has been steadily proclaimed since
the middle of the eighteenth century.
A fairly satisfactory idea Of It and
OF the ordinary assertions about It
can be found In a treatise of the small
poet and smaller philosopher, James
Beattie, whose later years We're large

critics who disdain to have conclu-

fact. Space is not sufficient ~ consid-

say Of It Is that the practice of using
the superlative of two objects compar-
