"sTAR" IS THE OLDEST WORD.
No Change Since Origin in the Aryans Thousands of Years Ago.

No Change Since Origin in the
 Aryans Thousands of Years Ago.
 There is no older word in the Eng fish language than "star," for it is not only from the tongue of our earliest known ancestors, the Aryans, united people many thousands of years ago. but it is an Aryan root that has been preserved to us through the ages that have no history excepting that which comes from a scientific study of lan- guages, says the New York Herald.
 None of. our sister languages has preserved this root so much unchanged as has the English, though it is found in all of the family. The Dutch come nearly as close with their ''ster," and the old high German is a little further off with "sterro." The Anglo-Saxon has "steorra," the Sanscrit Sstri," the Icelandic "stjarna," the Latin stella" and the Greek "astar."
 The other branches of the language have the root and they all use the word, not in the sense of brightness, but in the sense of strewn or spread, that which spreads out or dispenses, a star being a dispenser of light. .'
 When our ancestors had intelligence sufficient to thoughtfully observe the stars and began to be able to speak of them they used the word "star'' as con veying the idea of something which scatters light. From this same root has grown scores of words which con- tain the idea of scattering, dispensing, spreading out and strewing. The care full reader of the dictionary will mo- tice them in many places. "Straws" that "show which way the wind blows" are from the same root, because in the word is the idea of that which is scat tered or strewn.
 Straw and "strewn" are among the many children of "star," and even such words as "consternation" and street" come from it. The idea is in 'conster- nation," through the Latin 'conster- nerc." to bestrew, throw down, pros trate. Consternation metaphorically throws you down and street. conveys the same thought of something spread out, strewn with protecting substances or paved.
 It is such little words as "star," ap- bearing in so many different languages, always having the same underlying meaning, that tell us of the union that must have existed between the peoples whose descendants have preserved the words.

Dr. A. Bulleid, who discovered the ancient British lake village at Glaston-
 burg in 1892, has now found another group of lake dwellings at the neigh boring village of Meare. The site oi the lake village consists of two fields covering about twelve acres, and is marked by a number of grassy mounds formed by floors of dwellings. Dr. Bulleid has found large quantities of relics, including objects in bronze, bone, horn and pottery. The village is supposed to be of the late Celtic date. It was probably built between 300 or 400 B. O. and the Roman Conquest
 Cheese must have been rather dear or scarce article of food in 1902, for, says the Law Times, it Is recorded in the "Black Books" of the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn that at Eas- ter term, 1902, 1t was agreed by the governors and benchers this term that if any one of the society shall here after cut cheese immoderately at the time of dinner or supper, or shall give cheese to any servant or to any other, he shall carry 1t away from the table at any time, he shall pay pence for each offense. The buffers of the so- ciety shall present such defaulters weekly, under pain of expulsion from office"
 Recent investigations show that the umbrella is undoubtedly of high an- tiquity. It appeared in various forms on the sculptured monuments of Egypt, Assyria, Greece and Rome. In hot countries it has been used since the dawn of history as a sunshade-a use signified by its name, derived from the Latin "umbra," shade. In the East the umbrella has ever been symbol of power and royalty, and in many countries it has become a part of re- ligious as well as royal symbolism. The Chinese date the umbrella back to 4.OOO or 5000 years anterior to the Mosaic date of creation, which would make it about 10000 or 11,000 years old.

Recently 1t has been proposed to utilize 1t for igniting motor headlights, and even as sub + ute for electric ignition is the cylln- ders. Doctor Brill has tried it, for the last named purpose, but he finds that the efficacy of the alloy falls off with use. The cause of this loss of efficacy is --uspected to be the presence of oil and dust.

Pure srI1k and Our Babies.

If babies had a vote the milk sup ply would be reformed. But babies are inarticulate and the slaughter goes on.
 Is there any reason why babies should die, asks Walter Weyl in Sue cess Magazine occasionalll, not now and then and here and there, but wholesale, like flies? We are so cruelty accustomed to the little coffin and the white hearse that we never look at the facts or ask ourselves the question. But is there any reason why babies should die7
 Suppose you enter the house of a poor family and see a newborn babe in a corner of the room, and there near the fire, doddering over his slumberous pipe, the babes great-great-grandfat rheumatic, asthmatic old man of ninety. The babe was born to-day, this very day, endowed with all its heritage of thousands of generations {; the great-great- was born in 1919, when Monroe was President and Napoleon was alive. Grabbed age is frail, and yet the statisticians will prove to you that slim as are the chances of the very. old. the babe is more likely than his great-great-grand- father to die in year, and very much more likely to die within three months.
 If the mother knew how great was the danger to her baby, she would hover even more anxiously over the cradle. If she knew how often babies are slain by the milk of the city-if she knew, there wouldn't be so many slain.

A Sort Of Cousin.

"You say, madam" said the bespec. tacled lawyer to the woman in the wit ness box, that the defendant is a sort of relation of yours. Will you please explain what you mean by that-just how you are related to the defend ant?"
 The witness beamed upon the court and replied:
 "Well, it's just like this. His first wife's cousin and my second husbands first wife's aunt married brothers named Jones, and they were cousins to my mothers aunt. Then, again, his grandfather on his mothers side and my grandfather on my mothers side were second cousins, and his step- mother married my husbands step father after his father and my mother died, and his brother Joe and my hus- bands brother Harry married twin sis ters. I ain't never fggered out just how close related we are, but I've al- ways looked on i'm as sort of cousin"
 Quite so," answered the lawyer. "Your explanations are perfectly satis- factory"

Methods Adopted to Save Time and
 to Protect Dominant Party.
 This is a big country with big in terests and 1t is manifestly impossible to consider all matters in which all the members are interested in open ses-, sion of the house, says J. Sloat Fassett in Leslie's Weekly. Rules have been. devised for appointing committees and apportioning the work. Only the more important bills can be reported and only the most urgent of these can be considered in the whole house. No rules can be or ought to be devised which would enable every member to take up the time of the house when ever 1t so pleased him with any bill he might choose. So in the house, as In the world generally, the rule of the majority prevails. The country, by a majority vote in the several congress sional districts, selects the political party which it desires to have in con trol. That majority party, by majority vote, proceeds to organize the house into a working mechanism. The speaker Is elected by a majority and is always answerable to that majority The rules are adopted by a majority and are always responsive to that ma jority. The rules are made with 'full. provision to protect the rights of each individual and of the minority, but, rightly they are framed to enable the responsible majority to exercise the power intrusted to 1t by the people and for the exercise of which or the failure to exercise which that majority, and that majority alone, is held responsi- ble If a Democratic minority, by the aid of a small body of insurgent or rebellious Republicans. could obtain possession of the machinery of legisla- ton and prevent the majority from carrying out its pledges the country would not accept the plea of non pos sumus. The entire majority would be held responsible for such a breach of trust

The manager of an employment agency noted with some surprise that a woman in search of a maid asked each of the girls lined up against the wall if she had ever been employed in a minister's family. None of them had been. Then, the New York Sun says, the managers curiosity pre- vailed.
 May I ask" said he, "why you are particularly anxious to know if these girls have had an engagement of that kind?"
 Because we are very hard up just now," the woman replied, candidly, land I must have a girl who is eco nomical. have found that of all the servants those who have worked in clergymen's families know best how to economize"

DECENDANT OF TENNIS FRIEND.

 man Was an Adviser of Founder.
 Almost within stones throw of the plot of ground where William Penn made his treaty with the Indians, and in church whose membership consists mainly of descendants of old colonial settlers, a historical sermon was preached Sunday night on the life of William Penn by a clergyman who boasts of being the great-great-grand- son of one of the Pennsylvania found er's dearest friends and counselors, says the Philadelphia North American The church is the Emmanuel Episcopal at Girard avenue and Marlborough street, and the minister the Rev. Ed ward Giles Knight.
 According to the clergyman, there has always been a Giles Knight. About fifty years ago, because one generation forgot to name any of the boys Giles, one of the family had his first name changed by special act of legislature
 Giles Knight, the first, came to this country with William Penn in the good ship Welcome in 1882, and when the compact with the Indians was made was an earnest adviser of his chief. Like William Penn, Giles Knight had quarreled with his father, then mayor of Bristol, England, over religious mat ters, and he sought refuge in this land that he might worship his Creator in his own way, and when and how he pleased.
 Ir his sermon pr. Knight did not touch upon his relationship with the colonist, but devoted his talk to par ticulars of Penn's early life.
 Another member of Emmanuel church proud of his ancestry is John P. Eyre, one of the vestrymen, whose at-grandfather at one time owned the very spot of ground on which Will jam Penn first landed.

GREAT BUSINESS OF STORAGE.
Depression Doesn't Affect This In- dustry at All UnfavorabIy.

Depression Doesn't Affect This In-
 dustry at All UnfavOrabIy.
 The storage is an important adjunct of the shipping business. In this city and vicinity there are four big storage plants with railroad connections. Two of them are in Brooklyn, another is on Staten Island and the fourth at Com munipaw, on the Jersey side of the Hudson River. Besides those there are a great many bonded and free ware houses without pier and railroad con- nections in different parts of the bor- ough of Manhattan, says the New York Sun.
 Bonded warehouses are for the stor- age of dutiable goods landed in bond to be held until the consignees find 1t convenient to pay the duty and take them out. The convenience to mer- chants of leaving imported goods in bond until they can be disposed of In the ordinary course of trade is mani fest. But many merchants also get large consignments of undutiable goods which their private storage facilities cannot accommodate, hence the exist ence of free-storage warehouses.
 However, the two branches of the business are not entirely separate, for all the big companies and many of the smaller isolated warehouses store bonded and free goods. Free goods, it should be borne in mind, may be either domestic or foreign. for many import ed commodities are free of duty.
 The beginning of the storage busi- ness was contemoraneous with the rise of New York in importance as a com mercial center. Its growth in the last half-century has been enormous, but the development of the big plants re- ferred to has been comparatively re- cent. A notable peculiarity of the busi- ness is that it does not immediately feel the effects of industrial depres- sion.
 On the contrary, 1t is materially benefited for a time by a decline of general business. When a merchant carrying large lines of goods finds the market for them falling off he gener- ally sends them to storage warehouses for safekeeping until the market inn proves. For this reason the storage business suffered less than any other during the recent extraordinary period of general stagnation. As a matter of fact the storage business was better in 1908 than in 1907, so it enjoys a unique distinction.
 1t would be a mistake, however, to infer that the business suffers in good times. In good business year the volume of merchandise coming to this port from all parts of the world is much greater than in bad business year, and consequently the aggregate placed in storage is larger, but the length of time the goods are held in storage is shorter. In a bad business year the aggregate of receipts Is rela- lively smaller, but the period of stor- age is longer.
 The inference is inevitable, there fore, that the storage business is good thing at all times. Perhaps stor- age men as a whole may not be willing to concur with this statement, but there are the facts.

A Le..on tn Bankinr.

The Japanese, as every body knows, used to despise business. They held that business meant selling something for more than it was worth-that profit meant the amount whereby the buyer had been deceived.
 "We look on business more favor ably now in Japan" said Jokichi Iwaya, the Japanese consul to Port land, at a recent dinner. "We now tell with scorn the money-counting story that in the past we told with appreciation. According to this story Q banker of Yokohama took in a pack ct of banknotes in the presence of his son, who desired to learn the banking business. The man counted the notes in the usual way. They lay on the counter before him, and he lift ed them up, one by one, with moisten- ed forefnger, murmuring One, two, three and so on. But on reaching the last note the banker stopped. He didn't lift 1t up. Instead he tapped 1t with his finger, and whispered to his son.
 "'You must never lift the last one Don't you see7 It Is just possible that there might be another under ueath'"

There is, in Katharine N. Abbott's recent book, "Old Paths and Legends of the New England Border" a little story which illustrates the importance of accurate statement.
 In Saybrook, Connecticut, in the days of cottage prayer meetings one hundred years ago. a lady directed her servant to go to each neighbor and say that Mrs. Bowles will have the prayer meet ing here tonight
 The servant carried out her instruc- tions to the letter: Mrs. Bowles says the prayer meeting will be here to- night"
 Accordingly, each lady arranged her chairs, put on he;' best gown, made ready for the coming of the parson, and stayed at home.
