HISTORY OF MOSAICS.
Church at Palermo Called q Perfect
Example of Their Use.

From the Ecclesiastical Review.
The art of Christian mosaics began to
develop in the fourth century, and 1t held
its prominence for 800 years. being char
acterized by singular beauty and magnifi-
cence. Christian artists here struck out
for themselves field OF decoration that
was practically untouched by the ancient
Romans, who did not seem to have real
ized its possibilities as color field.
BY applying 10 the walls of the princi-
pal churches these almost imperishable
mosaic cubes of marble and colored glass
with their consequent glow of color, we
find mosaic paintings influencing the
whole trend of interior decoration for
nearly a thousand years. Gradual dete-
rioration of the art is discernible in the
eighth and ninth centuries. and almost
complete prostration took place in the
tenth century.
II sprang into life in the eleventh, cred
liable work was produced in the follow
ing century and a notable impulse was
given to IL in the thirteenth century. when
IL began again to be largely employed as
a decorative medium. Since the days OF
the renaissance, however. and until re-
Gently mosaic work has been almost en-
tirely relegated to the mechanical indus
trial arts, its object being the reproduc-
ton of the works of the great masters In
oil. In the nineteenth century mosaic
work was again called into life. and at
the present time its value q decorative
medium Is being more and more realized.

shocking performance. The girl had a
voice that you could pull out nails with.
and she was incapable of appreciating
the sentiment of such poem. She mutt
lated 1t beyond recognition, and a cold
sweat Of agony dripped from the brows
of all who heard .her. Yet she got the
customary ovation. Men and women gath
cred around her and lied in the most
charming way. The local newspaper
printed her picture, and said she was q
new Mrs. Siddons, a new Rachel.
"As a result of all this adLlation the
girls parents got the idea that she really
was q phenomenon, whereas nature or

were poor people. needing every Kopeck
they could raise to keep the wolf from

tered q mortgage on their vine-covered
cottage in order to send that damsel to a
dramatic school. that her genius might be

that school she came home talking about

her she was shooting biscuits in a rail-
way lunch counter and her parents were

II was nearly ruined by the compli-
ments I got. I absorbed the idea that
making speeches is a profession and .
noble one. whereas there Is nothing in
this world as useless as a. speech. 1t Is
nothing but wind at best. Mrs. Jiggers. a
man might talk a thousand years and
he'd never impart as much Information
as ono good book will impart. 1t would
have been a genuine kindness had some
grave and reverend citizen taken me to
the middle OF q forty-acre field and told
me that the world needs a million things
more than 1t needs oratory. But l had no
such guide. philosopher and friend. and
SO wasted my young manhood making
life q burden to the welkin. The time
spent making speeches always is time
waited, and the ambition to excel as a
jawsmith is fatal to all desire for useful
work.
Therefore, Mrs. Jiggers, I cannot con-
scientiously congratulate you upon the
achievements Of Augustus Adolphus Jag
gers. When you write to your sister
give her my love and urge her to put a
Maxim silencer on the young man and
get him a good situation as third as

also to catch the spirit of the law. And it

From the PhiladelphIa PresA
1t is a matter Of common experience
that bright lights In q chamber. church

phenomenon 10 easily explained by the

Two keynotes Of the present admins
tration Of the Districts public school
system were sounded at a meeting of the

the need of more elastic administrative

was sounded by the superintendent, DIR.
William NJ. Davidson, who reported that
with the consent of the board he could
make an annual saving of $500 in rent
ais and in caring for numerous small
buildings. The school system at present
has a large number of rented buildings.
Several school buildings in the vicinity
have vacant rooms which may be used in
their place. 1t was explained, and through
the use of these rooms and disuse Of
rented buildings the economy may he ef

board. DR.. Davidson had consulted sew

move.

Payment Of Teachers.

Teachers may be paid on the first of the
month, beginning with July 1, according
to an announcement made yesterday. The
order which has been in force during the
current year, that the date OF paying
teachers should BE on the 9Th of each
month, becomes ineffective at the end Of
this fiscal year. The ruling was made in
order that teachers might receive their
pay on regular date. Because Of an in
sufficient clerical force, it was said, and
because of a new law affecting the pay
ment of absent teachers it was not al
ways possible to pay the teachers on the
1st or even the ID Of the month. Some
times they were paid on the Sd, and in
some cases did not receive their compen-
sation until two or three days later.
That conditions are frightful'' at Park
View because of the lack of proper school
facilities was the assertion of Mrs. Charl-

school in the suburb. Mrs. Clark asked
that an item for a sixteen-room school
building be included in the new appro-
pr1ation bill I'VE do not want an eight
room building, but sixteen-room one, "
said Mrs. Clark, because We can fill
sixteen rooms easily"
