The Swastika.

The origin and history of the curious charm known as the swastika have been exhaustively described by pr. T. Carr, an English antiquarian. He
 claims that the origin of the swastika dates back to pre-C Christian days. h. vestigation has led him to believe that it was originally the symbol of polar star worship and that it was the most ancient and widely distributed symbol that had ever existed. It has been found in Chaldea, among the ruins of the earlier cities of Troy, in Egypt, on the prehistoric relics of Greece, on Hit tite remains, on prehistoric American Indian mounds, in South America, .on Buddist remains in India, on Roman altars, on Runic crosses in Great Brit ain, In Coptic churches of the tenth century and on English brasses of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. It is still used in India, Tibet, China, Korea and Japan as a sign of long life, good wishes and good fortune; it is also used by the Lapps and the Films.

One Of the most interesting of Egyp- tfan customs is that known as the 'cutting of the Khalig," which is cele- brated on the occasion of the opening of the dams of the Khalig canal, there by causing the flooding of the land for cultivation purposes. The ceremony takes place in August, when the Nile reaches its highest level, and Is really q thanksgiving service. According to tradition, the old time Egyptians had n custom of casting young virgin gayly dressed into the river as a sacrifice to the gods, but at the present time the offering takes the more humane form of a dummy. A procession of, deco rated boats and barges passes along the river. one special craft being used for the ceremony. This boat, rigged to represent an old time warship, is lowed by a decorated tug and is we'll provid- ed with musicians, who play Arab tunes, while minute guns are fired at intervals in honor of the occasion.- Wide World Magazine.

The FIv's Buzz In Music.

It was Mendelssohn who first put fairies into the orchestra, and that composers incidental music to "A Mid summer Nights Dream" is surely the happiest accompaniment to Shake speare's play. But there is more than the revels of fairies in Mendelssohn's work. There is the buzzing of a fly which one day in the summer of 1926 flew about Mendelssohn's head as he lay on the grass with a friend in the Schonhauser garden, Berlin. planning the overture. As the fly buzzed by Mendelssohn said "Hushi' and listened intently for a time. Afterward, when the overture was finished, the compos- CT pointed to the modulation of the cellos from B minor to F sharp minor in the middle section and said, There: that's the Schonhauser fly" That over ture has become one of the worlds musical classics, and Mendelssohn was a boy of eighteen when he wrote it.

Legal Customs From the Church.

Legal Customs From the Church.
 When one lawyer refers to another as brother attorney" he employs nn ancient phrase peculiar to religious and legal fraternities and suggests the close historical relation between the callings. In England for two and q half centuries after the Norman con- quest all high legal offices were filled by churchmen. Laymen could not hope for advancement or for clients. and in deed the only path to the requirement of professional education lay through holy orders. The fraternal form of address common to the church passed naturally into legal phraseology. Brother So-and-so of the monastic or der was 'brother'' also at the bar. So strong was popular prejudice against admitting the competency of mere lay men at law when this class began to practice, about 1900, that lay barristers adopted black velvet skullcap or coif to conceal their lack of tonsure, the distinguishing mark of the priestly clerk. Down to our day both the form of address and the peculiar headgear have remained, although we have ceas- ed to associate the two professions whose early intimacy was the original reason for their eXistence.-Green Bag.

Bulls In the House of Commons.

There's a good heart beating below their gaiters.' "An imperialist declared in a debate: No Ireland, no Wales, no Scotland; one only Britain. Such are the words the mouth of our sovereign has always had in its eye
 "An Irish Unionist said of an Irish Nationalist, Shall this man come into this house with unblushing footsteps. with the cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth. and draw 5,OOO,O00 acres out of our pocketsY
 "An excited labor member once shouted. If this bill passes I see be- fore the workingmen of England a fu- ture from which they have been for too many years kept out"

Further, the left spur is on the right foot, and the right is on the left, while it is insisted by the best experts that the spurs are not of the period '"The Bargain Book"

First IntornationaI eand Contest.

The earliest record of an interna- tional band contest is of one held in the year 172O between the bands of Handel and BuOnOncini, a gifted Ital- ian composer, who by his friends and admirers was declared to be infinitely superior to the German master. The king headed the partisans of the Ger man and the Prince of Wales those of the Italian artist. The controversy has been perpetuated in the lines of John Byron, q popular poet of his day:
 Some say. compared to Buononcini,
 That Mypheer HandePs but a ninny.
 Others aver that he to Handel
 Is scarcely fit to hold candle.
 Strange all this difference should be
 'Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee.
 An international band contest on a much larger scale was held in connec- tion with the Paris exhibition of 1867, in which selected bands from Austria. Bavaria. Baden, Belgium, France. .Hol- land, Spain and Russia competed i'll the presence of 30,000 visitors. Russia took the first prize. closely followed by France and dAustria.-London Standard.

Fearful Statesmen.

There was a time when English statesmen wept upon small provoca- ton. Pepys makes frequent reference to this weakness, while the story of the long parliament as written by D'Ewes gives tfe impression that the legislators of that day were singu1arly prone to tears. They wept on the slightest provocation, and sometimes their excessive grief was so noisy that proceedings had to be stayed until the lachrymose lawmakers could compose themselves.

Public Men Discourteous.

To the Editor of the Evening Star; =
Does public life make men discourteous
and ung~entlemanly? 1t seems to me that
there have been a good many indications
recently that it has a tendency to do so.
For instance, Governor Wilson last Fri
day ignored four women who were in the
woman suffrage booth at the exposition.
He apparently did It in such a way as
to give offense, as the suffrage leaders
afterwards made indignant protest at his
discourtesy. He could easily have avoided
giving offense by simply bowling or saying
a few words that would not have COM
mitted him in any way as favoring the
votes for woman movement. Yet he
didn't do it, and consequently he laid
himself open to the charge of having
failed to act like a gentleman.
President Taft and his rival, Colonel
Roosevelt, have both overstepped the linn
It's of common courtesy In their loud and
blatant villiication of each other. Both
would once have never thought of such
tactics. They would nave thought what
they liked of each other, but they would
not have inflicted it upon the public in
such terms, disrespectful alike to their OPP
ponents and their audiences and entirely
unworthy of themselves.
Is it the influence of public office?
