ORIGIN OF THE SALUTE.

Why does a soldier when saluting a
superior, raise his hand to his head
covering? The beginning dates back TO
the time of the Borgias. If not to an
earlier date. In those days assassina-
ton was in vogue, and, in order that
an inferior might not have superior
at advantage, the inferior was COM
PEELED, when coming into his superlur's
presence, to raise his right hand, palm
to the front. to show that no donger
was concealed there. From this old
time custom our hand salute has come
down.
The salute with the sword was not
done that way In the beginning with
out any reason. when Knights of the
Crusaders received their orders it was
the custom for them To call upon God
to witness their assumption Of the or
ders given. TO do this the sword was
raised to the front 50 that the hlt
reached the lips when the cross form
ed by hilt and blade could be kissed
and an oath registered TO carry out the
orders faithfully. The dropping OF the
sword point to the front indicates
submission.

The Value of a
Business Education

1t is hardly necessary to say much
in regard { the value of special
business training. II is generally con-
ceded today that a person should have
a preliminary training for whatever
he intends to make his life work. If
he is going to be a Physician, he at
tends n medical school; IL a lawyer,
a law school: If a minister a theolog-
cal school, and a person who wishes
to rise rapidly in business should at
tend business school, where he will
be given a working knowledge of the
most important details that he will
have to attend to.
No honest principal of a business
school pretends to make finished
business man or business woman of
the pupils placed in his charge. any
more than a medical school claims to
turn out experienced physicians.
The young person who has a thor
ough knowledge of business forms,
business methods and understands
well the principles of bookkeeping and
has been trained to figure accurately
and rapidly, to spell wei. to put his
thoughts into good English, and to
take a letter and render a transcript

HERE AND THERE

The decrease of the population of
Ireland between 1901 and 1911 was
from 4,45S,775 to 4.3S1.951, and the
churches suffered corresponding losses,
varying in the different churches, from
1 to 3 per cent. At present 1873 per
cent. of the total population are Cath
olics, 1871 Protestant Episcopalians, 10
presbyterians and Ia Methodists.
New Mexico has double the popula-
tfun of Wyoming, four times that Of

by their admission is complete for an

freely they should be crowded with feed,
