A great many people are trying to
explain the Turco-Italian war, which
centers about Tripoi, and perhaps the
Springfield Republican has explained it in
the fewest words, as follows:
MANY columns of discreet diplomatic
explanation as to why Italy wants Trip
oil might be dispensed with by simply
printing a pictorial map of the Mediter-
ranean basin, with its one empty chair

tionary words?"
Another reason might be found in the
fact also that Tripoli is very much of an
italian dependency at the present time,
being largely populated by Italians who
have crossed the short few hundred miles
of water which separate Tripoli from
southern Italy. Therefore, it is not en-
tirely selfshness which constrains Itafy
to desire Tripoli, albeit that reason may
appear uppermost to many people who
are trying to fathom the war now sup
posed to be going on in the Mediter-
ranean sea.

Importance. We are aware that in many
places, particularly the public schools,
the common drinking cup has been done
away with, but we are not so sure about
many other places where the common
cup was wont to find favor and scatter
the disease germs here. there and every
where Is the Vermont ban on the COM
mon drinking cup fully respectedl Are
public drinking cups entirely gone in Yer
month II is reasonable time to ask
ourselves this question. We take pride
in the fact that Vermont was far ahead
of New York in adopting this progress
i've attitude; and it now remains for us
to see that the adjustment of the COM
mon cup was not merely perfunctory
order and intended to be carried out
only as it suited the convenience Of the
people directly interested. In many cases
it is impracticable to install the bubbler
fountain which permits of drinking from
a stream without contact OF the lips with
any substance; but it is possible to in
troduce sanitary drinking cups, the kinds
of cups which are to be destroyed after
once being used. Now that New York
has followed Vermont in officially abol-
ishing the common cup, thus justifying
the Vermont course of action more or
less, our state, as a pioneer in the move
ment, ought to maintain a positive attl-
tude in respect to enforcement of the
edct, if it has not done so heretofore.

Bringing this proposition before the
public only strengthens the evidence that
the promoters are acting in good faith,
while little information is given to the
public through the press. We already
know that the real survey has been maos
and the actual estimates of cost of con-
struetion have been submitted by engi-
neers Of known ability, which fact proves
beyond q question that our anticipations
will be blessed with the realization. This
procedure, although we admit long de-
yeloping, yet is far from lifeless. It
takes time to bring about changes Of
this size and character, and the pro-
moters should receive the hearty co.
operation from everybody in the district
where this survey has been made. II is

needs this store, and we assure the pat

The Hippodrome, one OF the nnest
race tracks in the world, is owned by
the Buenos Aires Jockey club. and its
enormous revenue is derived from this
source. The Argentinians are born
gamblers, and they wager almost in
credible sums on horseflesh. The mu-
nicipal statistics of Buenos Aires show
that S25, 100000 in American gold was
wagered upon the races at the Hippo
drome in one year. This is an average
Of fifty Argentine dollars for each man.

Naturally the reported figures do not
include all the money wagered on
horse racing. so that the true sum is
no doubt several millions In excess OF
the reported figures. There are none
so old and few so young that they
will not wager a few pesos on a IA
vorite. The tense faces Of all present
show the personal interest in the result.

THE WORD PARADISE.
TIA Earliest Meaning Was an Enclosed
Pleasure Ground.

TiSaSuro SrouUos
The earliest meaning Of the word
paradise appears TO have been a wall
ed In pleasure ground. In the Hebrew
it was ''perdes." in 1.-THE Persian "fer-
dus," and from one or other of these
the Greeks appear to have derived the
word "paradeisos." from which we get
our own word. We also know that the
ancient monarchs OF Chaldea and As
syria and also Of Egypt constructed
vast Enclosures OF forest land for the
preservation Of wild animals kept for
hunting purposes. and these were also
called paradises. Thus the historical
meaning OF the word comes 10 this: A
space protected from all incursion
from the outer world, in which those
who were privileged to enter were
able TO indulge in such pleasures as
pleased the fancy.
1t Is easy to see the translation from
the material TO the spiritual meaning.

the place Of the elect or chosen This

that they got the word from the Per-
