lNDExlNG BOOKS.
The Custom Is an Old One That De
veloped Rather Slowly,

The custom of indexing books de-
veloped gradually. Cicero used the
word index" but in the sense of a
table of contents. Seneca provided
some works which he sent TO a friend
with notes of particular passages. so
that he who only aimed at the useful
might be spared the trouble of exam
lining them entire" This was at least
a partial Index" in the modern sense
Annotated, or at least explanatory,
tables of contents seem to have pre-
coded the index proper
Such tables followed the order of
appearance Of the subjects in the
book itself. Alphabetical arrangement.
which was the beginning of the real
index, appears not 10 have been
thought Of until the invention of print,
ing. and even then it spread but
slowly. Erasmus was one of the first
to provide his works with alphabetical
indexes. The custom did not become
universal until well into the sixteenth
century.
The first index to an English book is
said to be that printed in Polydore
Nergil's "Angliae Historiae," in 1916.
An edition of this work published ten
years later has nm index of thirty
seven pages.

THE SUNNI Err MAN.

He wears a gaudy blazer, and a
dinky hat to match,
And a silken shirt of soft and
every night.
And a pair of flannel trousers with
the bottoms turned way up
That he creases and he pipe-clays
livery night.
His socks would make the colors OF
the spectrum faint and pale,
To class them with the rainbow
isn't wrong.
His shoes are tied with ribbons
that are quite an inch in width,
And he guzzles ice cream soda all
day long.
His cheek is round and rosy, and is
innocent of fuzz,
His hair is fine and fluffy as a
girls,
He'd wear. it in a pompadour (he'd
puff it If he dared,
Or to coax it into cunning little
curls).
His belt is patent leather, and his
tie is emerald green,
He can turkey trot and trill the
latest song.
He has the candy habit, and he
haunts the picture shows,
And he guzzles ice cream soda all
day long.

A SENSIBLE FAD.

The public manifests as much inter
est in life today as it ordinarily ex-
hibits toward an automobile race, the
financial gymnastics of Wall street, or
the baseball score.
Various we'll meaning folk set about
devising complex methods of making
their own lives less complex.
They are determined to lead the
simple life, even if they have to be
more artificial than they were before.
1t may not induce many to give up
their automobiles, and yachts and
stock gambling, but it may give some
consolation to millions who have not
any of these things to give up.
Anyway works of philosophy are
read not to learn what to do with our
successes so much as to furnish our
selves with consolation for our fail
ures.
The newest of fads is the Oldest of
philosophers.
But that there is nothing new in it
does not detract it's value. All real
truth is old. That it be dressed in style
suited to the time Is all that can be
expected.
There can be no harm in this gener-
atoms sudden interest in the great
truths agreed upon by Christ, Moses
and Confucius and Buddha, and all the
other great masters of the secrets of
right living. Il may be difficult to tit
these square truths into round holes
of modern life, but there can be no
harm in trying.
Since we must have fads 1t is good
now and then to have fad to some
purpose.
1t may not regenerate the world but
it may help little, to have us all give
even passing thought to the facts that
the Napoleon Of finance" who. sacri-
fees health, friendship, family, con-
science and all his generous impulses
to a mere material success is paying
a high price for something of poor
value, that the society woman who
finds herself in condition of nervous
prostration at the end of the social
season, gives too much for her amuse-
ment, that the politician who sacri-
fees his honor for notoriety of paltry
office would have derived more pleas
ure and profit from self-respect, and
that the individual who can find salts
faction only in gratifying his sensual
appetites is as wretched as any other
kind Of slave.
