to be secular songs. Their voices are

NEVER A MAN TO Be ENvlEc.
Philadelphia Writer'S Idea of Status
to Be Accorded Bachelor in
Society.

The bachelor is punished already,
not only in losing the joys OF a home,
but being an object of contumely. SO
long as bachelors are willing 10 put up
with all the losses they sustain in
celibacy far be it from the majesty of
the law to impose further penalties.
1t was Cicero or a man of his day who
remarked that it was onerQus for
man to get along with a wife. but i'm
possible to get along without one The
bachelor is not a man-only a more
or less imitation of one-sometimes
very poor one He thinks he has a
good time in escaping all the major
responsibilities of life, but he is de.
ceiving no one but himself As an
example and warning he HAS his
uses In society. AS an individual he
Is apt TO find that he is eating only
apples OF Sodom. The man who de.
liberately remains bachelor is al
ready punished enough. Let him alone,
In his misery until some nice girl
comes along and carries him off And
we may remark that no man is a bach.
elor Of his own initiative--no matter
how much he may think so He is
simply q human derelict whom the
women have examined and passed by.
The bachelors are the disiecta mem.
bra of society whom no woman will
have. That is awful and it is enough.

COUNTRY OF FOUR RELIGIONS
China Seemingly Should Be Land o
Great Piety.

OF the late Chinese emperor 1t may
be said as it has been of his subjects,
that he was born a Confucian, lived
a Taoist. and died a Buddhist. China
indeed has four state established re-
ligions. and in each the emperor ex-
ercises sacerdotal functions. Twice a
year the emperor, as Son of Heaven"
worships before the tablet of Shang
I'll or Supreme Heaven in accordance
with the ancient imperial monotheism.-
Twice year he burns incense before
the tablets of his ancestors In accord
ance with Confucianism Twice
year he sacrifices to the gods of
Taoism and twice year to the image
of Buddha. The ancient and primi-
tive religion of China Is monotheistic,
but this first worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people, so that
it became reserved for the emperor
alone as the Son of Heaven and as
priest of the nation. The people or
their part worshiped their ancestors
and it was the ancestral religion
which Confucius identified himself
with and reformed. The old supersti-
tions rejected by Confucius were alb
sorbed by Taoism, which is polytheis-
tic and the religion of the populace.
Then Buddhism came into China about
60 A. D., and, like the other three
religions, became state-supported and
state-endowed

ORIGIN OF FooLscAP PAPER.

Everyone who has handled paper rec

In organizing the commonwealth. made
all possible effort to remove every
thing which had anything to do with
the old monarchy. The paper in Off

mark the kings crown: and. when
Cromwell was asked what should be
put IN the place of the crown, to show
ais overwhelming diGliSe-for anything
concerning royalty, he directed fools
cap to be put in place of the crown.
This was done, and when Charles H.
ascended the throne Of England. it was
al first forgotten to replace the cap by
something else, and then. too late. the
king was afraid to do anything to re-
call things dangerous to touch, and so
it was neglected and the fools cap
may be seen as a water-mark on near
