 Tuesday, October 20, the body of Bishop Henry Goldman Potter was placed beneath the floor of the altar in the crypt of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The date will mark the twenty fifth anniversary of his conse- cration.
 This Is the first burial In the new edral, as yet far from finished. It probably will not be the last, all though the burial of the dust of the bishop. in whose incumbency of the see the walls Of the great structure began to rise, is not considered a pre- cedent as regards the burial of his successors. It Is hoped to make the structure a sort of American West minister Abbey, with intramural burial an honor reserved for the bodies of persons of national importance. not necessarily Episcopalians, according to one of the trustees.

Effort to Abolish Caste. AMAAia. H..InAA.

mVplAS SASBtohCE.
 The trustees of Princeton University are endeavoring to abolish caste and to cultivate more democratic spirit among the students. President Woods row Wtlson with the approval of the trustees. has marked for extinction the upper class clubs, which, 1t ts claimed. foster an undemocFatic spirit. Recently, in commenting upon the order compelling students in the high schools of Chicago to give up membership in sch ool fraternities The Record Herald said: The so-called caste problem in institutions of learning is one that has grown to large proportions in recent years. and has been particularly mark. ed in connection with the high schools. Chicago has had great deal of un- pleasant experience with it. That the evil the fraternity system has worked in the lower institutions is due to ini- tatton of phases of social life pertain ing to universities and colleges. goes without saying" School fraterntties and clubs are very strongly entrenched and boards of trustees will have hard work dislodging them.

The supreme objection to gambling
Inv all It's forms, whether in sport Or
in speculative business. is that it works
harm and loss to society. AS soon as
any practice or conduct is found to be
socially hurtful ii thereby becomes
wrong. whatever men may have
thought of it before. Does not all NOR
ality rise to consciousness through the
fact of social advantage or injury?
Now the long and costly experience of
mankind bears uniform testimony
against gambling till at last the ver-
dict of civilization has become as near
ly unanimous as human Judgment can
be that ii is an intOlerable nuisance.

A Dog Story.

4 Columbus man who likes to hunt
quail, who is handy with the gun and
has a fine bird dog whose work as a
retriever is remarkable loaned him to
q friend who was only an amateur at
the business. About the middle of the
forenoon of the first day the dog re-
turned to his masters home. The lat
ter, not knowing what had happened,
took his gun In the afternoon to try
the dog. He worked all right, and a
number of birds were secured. The
next day he met the friend who had
borrowed the dog. "What is the mat
ter with that dogT' he asked. I'VE
got up covey of quail and shot at
them, but missed. We afterward got
up a number OF the scattered birds
and took Il dozen shots or more, but
got nothing, and the dog put his tail
between his legs and struck across the
fields in the direction of his home"
1t is evident that the dog, disgusted
at the poor shooting, decided that the
men with the guns were not in his
class and decided to cut it out.-Co-
lumbus (O.) Dispatch.

Waltz Is Not Modern.

Many people labor under the I'm
preston that the waltz is of modern
origin, owing to the fact that it was
comparatively unknown in America or
in England until the early part of the
nineteenth century. But it was brought
originally from Provence to the court
of Henry III. of France, at Fontaine-
bleau, by the Comte de Saulte. Mary
queen of Scots, imported it into Scot
land for history records her as hav-
ing Incurred the bitter wrath and fierce
denunciation of John Knox and of 9TH
er divines of the "land of cakes" for
dancing it on one memorable occasion
at the palace of Holyrood Toward
the end of the seventeenth century it
was danced throughout southern Ger
many and Austria, the celebrated waltz
tune and popular song, 80, Du Lieber
Augustin," dating from 1910. Bnt, as
already stated, it was not until the first
two decades of the nineteenth century
that it made its first appearance in
England and the United States, when
it was alternately denounced and laud-
ed by the poets of the epoch.

Muskrats.

Rare old Captain John Smith i'll his
quaint History of New England and
the Summer Isles" published in Lon
don in 1924 gives probably the first
written account of the masllrat lie
says that the mussacus is Il beast of
the form and nature of our (EnglishJ
water rat and adds that ''some of
them smell exceedingly strong 0f
musk" These animals may be caught
in almost any sort OF trap Daited
with sweet apples or parsnips. Musk
rats have very strong teeth and can
use them on wood effectively, so it is
wise to protect all corners and cracks
in your wooden traps with pieces of
tin or sheet iron. They have good
noses AHA can smell an apple long
distance off. Place your traps in the
shallow water ut the edge of the mill
pond or stream inhabited by these rats.
and they will doubtless find it without
difficulty Young muskrats are very
gentle and playful and may be handled
without fear. They do not grow fierce
with age if reared in cartivtty and ac-
customed to geltle treatment.
