What Present Month of February
Holds.

There are seven holidays this
month-four Sundays, Lincoln S
aud Washington's birthdays and
election day. Leap year lengthens
the month but one day.
Of all the months of the year
none has been the victim of royal
almanac makers as has February
Not only is it cut down to twenty
eight days three years out of every
four, but the mutilation of the
year 1899 and again il 1900 which
failed to be leap years, started the
poor month limping away with only
twenty-eight days instead OF twen-
ty-nine.
February was one of the two
months, January being the other,
introduced into the Roman calandar
by Numa Pompiius when he ex-
tended the year to twelve of these
periods. It's name arose from the
practice of a religious expiration
and publication which took place
at the begiHning of this month
February, meaning to expiate, to
purify.
Numa let fall on February the
doom which was unavoidable, for
some one of the months having
three times out of four day
less than even those which were to
consist of thirty days. That is, he
so arranged it that it should have
only twenty-nine days excepting in
leap year, when, by the intercalcu-
lation of a day between the 23rd
and 2Ath, it was to have thirty
days.
But when Augustus Cesar chose
to add a thirty-frst day to the
month he had named Augustus,
that it might not lack in the dig
nifty enjoyed by six other months
of the year, he took it away from
February. which could least spare
it, thus reducing it to twenty-eight
days in all ordinary years.

Murderers Escape Death in Six Lands

In six European countries capi-
tai punishment is not meted out to
murderers, no matter how brutal
the crime may be or how much pre-
meditated. These are Russia, Italy,
Switzerland, Portugal, Holland and
Norway. However, exception is
made so far as the lives of the rul-
ers and the heirs to the thrones are
concerned.
The Canton of Zug in Switzer-
land imposes the lowest minimum
penalty in the world, three years
Imprisonment for willful homicide,
the maximum punishment being
Imprisonment for life.
OF those countries which impose
the death penalty but rarely carry
it out Sweden is the most notable.
Capital punishment is inflicted by
decapitation, but the penalty i'm
posed for premeditated murder is
almost invariably committed to pen
al servitude for life.
Capital punishment is inflicted in
France for premeditated murder,
but the crime is eXcusable where a
husband has moral grounds for
numbering his wife.
Germany distinguishes between
two kinds of murder-one, preme-
ditated and intentional, is punish
able by death; the second. inten-
tional homicide without delibera-
ton, is punishable by penal servi-
tude for from five to fifteen years.
Dueling in Germany is misde-
meanor of special kind. Who
kills his opponent in duel is not
charged with murder or man
slaughter, but with dueling, the
punishment for which is detention
in fortress tor fifteen years.
Spain has death penalty, but
rarely imposes it, the customary
sentence for premeditated homicide
being penal servitude in chains for
life. A parricide is punished by
being imprisoned in chains lin per-
petuity until death"

Yale's Many Lawyers.
The Bar Still Attracts One. Third OF the
university's Graduates.

The statisticians at Yale have
drawn up table to show what oC-
cupations the graduates of the in
stitution have chosen in the last
century. From the table, says The
New York Sun, it appears that the
ministry has fallen off greatly as an
attraction.
When the century opened about
80 per cent. of Yale graduates were
ministers, Beginning with 1860,
this number took great fall. Since
1885 the average has been 6 per
cent.
The average for law and medi-
cine have remained about the same.
AS a rule, 10 per cent. of Yale's
graduates are doctors. In law the
hgures have been very steadily
about 80 per cent.
In teaching and science the fig
nres have increased very gradually
from about 2 per cent to II per
cent. The strongest upward tend
ency has been that of business.
The farmer has fallen off ever since
the Southern planters ceased to en-
ter Yale.
Business now attracts about one
third OF the men, and the law about
one-third. The other third is di.
vlded between the ministry, science,
,eaching, forestry and a few other
branches.

! Current Comment on Public Events

Bible records are given another severe
shaking by Investigations made in Nebras-
ka, which throw further light on the his
tory of the morse and progenitors in
America.
While bibliologists revert to the Nile in
an effort to find some papyrus or inscribed
stone as tending to corroborate scripture,
men of science continue their explorations
with a supreme indifference and some
startling results are now being recorded.
In Sioux County, Nebraska, a new quarry
has been opened, and the fossil remains
of prehistoric animals being uncovered, DR..
w. ID. Mathews, head of Vertebrate Pal
eontology of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, has just completed an exami-
nation of the relics. This rich find has
been made ON the farm of James H. Cook,
located in the valley of LEau Qui Court
River, and from the observations made it
is given out that the horse has been an
inhabitant of this continent for upwards
of three millions of years, going back into
the Eocene period, which is a direct chal
lenge to bible chronology.
According to the published accounts we
find that the fossil beds are in twin hills,
which rise side by side like pyramids.
Three or four years ago these two hills,
now regarded as so rich in FOSSILS were
practically unknown. This summer was the
first time the quarry was explored extensive
ly, though party from the Carnegie
Museum spent part of last summer there.
Now all sides of the chalk cOlOred hills
look like the homes of cave dwellers, and
1t wouldn't be surprising II these twentieth
century scientists have uncOnsciOusly re-
produced scenes about these hills not un-
like those of a million years ago, when the
three-tOed horse browsed all day over the
neighbOring grass fields.
Besides the expedition from the Museum
of Natural History this summer, there was
one from Yale, another from Amherst Col
lege, another from the Carnegie Museum,
and fifth from the University of Nebraska.
These are only a few of the more impor-
tant parties which delved for the prehistoric
bones.
1t is curious fact that the Museum of
Natural History has far more complete
series of skeletons of the prOgenitors of
the horse of the Eocene period, which is
fixed at some 100000 years ago, than it
has of the Miocene, Pliocene, or Pleisto-
Gene periods The museums of the country
have practically nothing in horses of the
Pliocene period, and il among the collec-
tions just made by Dr. Matthew's party are
several complete skeletons belonging to this
period, the discovery will be considered by
paleontologists through the world as of the
utmost Importance.
Bishop David H. Greer, who succeeds the
late Bishop Potter as the head of the
Episcopal church in New York, rushes into
the limelight on the first chance, and is now
out with sensational diatribe upon unity
among Protestant churches, a special theory
he appears to entertain, but which is not

such statement might have been made
without challenge or controversy, but The
day is past wnen such pretensiOns can
go without question, for when its full power
is sifted down to a close ISSUE it is as
feeble as mouse in the relentless paws of
some hungry feline.
But coming back to church unity 1t Is
observed that Bishop Greer insists that the
concurrent existence OF SO many conflicting
and opposing sects serve only to scatter
the church forces and devitalize its energy.
they cause waste of vitality and of
money" bishop Greer has thus revealed
the one actuating, moving impulse of the
Episcopal church In desiring unity of the
sects. Ignoring the fact that under Henry
VIII. the church that he now represents
made the first break from spiritual au-
thority he questions the right and justice
of others to break even further away from
the same institution. His sole desire Is
that all Christian energy" and more espe-
cially all Christian money" shall be direct
ed towards his church and used by it for
the saving of souls. The only way to affect
unity is for all preachers, elders, bishops
and other church officials to surrender their
Office an1 title thereto, and meet with
other protesting Christians on equal and
common ground. Inis done they might be
able to formulate some sort of a common
creed, but as there is SO little danger of

Bif! Bang!
And the Holy Roller rolled over and
over on the floor
Religion and law do not run serenely to-
gether in these days, as is evidenced by
the action of Magistrate Higginbotham, of
New York, who, resenting the conduct of
Holy Roller preacher, by the name of
Howard Dunwidde, landed blow upon
the latter which felled him to the floor of
the court room.
1t is reported that Dunwiddie and seven
women members of his sect had been ar
rested for disorderly conduct and taken be-
fore the court of Magistrate Higginbotham
in Brooklyn. Dunwiddie demanded to have
a private talk with the magistrate and
when the latter refused to oblige him, Dun
widdie according to many witnesses, struck
the magistrate on the neck. The blow was
a light one and Magistrate Higginbotham
recovered himself quickly and retaliated by
striking Dunwiddie square on the jaw. The
Holy Roller staggered backwards for ten
feet and then fell in heap. AS he rose
to his feet and tried to flee he was captured
by policeman and dragged into the court
room, where Magistrate Higginbotham
again took the bench and held the prisoner
in $1,5OO bail on charge of assault.
There was another sensational happening
during the afternoon, when the Holy Rollers
were arraigned. Miss Elizabeth Robinson,
high priestess of the order, was accused
by the magistrate OF having circulated the
report in the court room that he mad at
tempted to hug and kiss her whiie she was
holding private audience with him in his
chambers. Two reporters, who were in
the room during his private talk, testified
that Magistrate Higginbotham had not tried
TO mug or kiss the high priestess, and Mag
istrate Higginbotham demanded that the
prisoner explain her statement On advice
of her lawyer, Miss Robinson refused to
comply, SO the magistrate held her in $4,000
bail on charge of contempt of court and
$500 bail on charge of conducting a dis
orderly mouse.

and the public may derive valuable lesson
from this incident
