PoIIteness Llttle Thouaht of.

In all ages the gentleman has been
crucifed or violently killed In some
other way. This shows that we recog-
nize q strength other than our own,
but we are little disposed to tolerate
It. Manners, too have been brought
into disrepute by the circumstance
that they are the first cloak to which
hypocrisy flies But courtesy and
manners are very different things in
a certain sense. The heart of courtesy
may coexist with the husk Of extreme
rudeness. Courtesy can never be
taught, though department can. But
on the day when King George finds
himself ruling over a polite" nation
he will find himself ruling over O
decadent nation.-London Truth.

Code Of Honor

Dueling is survival from the an
cient judicial combats which were at
their height in the middle ages. The
first formal duel among English.
speaking peoples was in 1896. France
seems to have been the land in which
the code" had its most fiourishlng
times. From France the practice
passed over to England, and from
England 1t came over to America. In
the early days Of our country duels
were quite common. but since Burr
killed Hamilton the practice has been
steadily on the decline. 1t is today a
very rare thing for a duel to take
place in any civilized land, and in the
United States the foolish custom Is
practically extinct

Men and Women,

AS times go on we have the two re-
suits to be anticipated. Men reach
the point-usually early in life-where
business or politics absorbs their
whole attention. and they have little
time, strength or interest left for the
broader culture and the amenities of
life, while women are prone to be too
much preoccupied with these things.

the average American home the

run smoothly. though at great expense
and to the injury OF the home spirit.

should more nearly approach the ideal.

Costly Picture In Lumber Room.

A picture estimated to be worth
$4,000, which for so many years was
hidden away In lumber room at St
Mary's hall, Coventry, has just been
restored and put in a place Of honor
In st. Mary's hall.
Owing to damp and an accumulation
OF dust and dirt, the picture had be-
come SO defaced that the corporation
OF Coventry Lad decided to sell it IL
they could get 1915 for 1t. But Messrs.
lzod & Co.. a London firm of picture
restorers were at work upon the pic
lures In st. Mary's hall, and one of
their experts recognized it as a mas
terpiece.
1t was found to be one Of the finest
examples extant of the work of Jacob
Jordaens, pupil and fellow-worker
OF Rubens. Jordaens was born In Ant
werp. and the picture was probably
painted about 1910. 1t represents Bac-
chus springing from his car upon see
Ing Ariadne. The canvas is about
thirty feet by ten feet high. Present
ed to Coventry by Edward Ellice. M.
p, In 1855, little value was attached
to 1t, and 1t was subsequently con-
signed to the lumber room.

OLD PURITAN BIBLE BOXES
Curious Carved Chests for the Safe
Keeping Of Copies Of the
Scriptures.

Almost invariably after some great
wave of religious enthusiasm, We are
confronted by strange fragments OF
salvage relicts OF the emotional pas
s'"n and religious ardor of departed
hour. says the Queen. Such were the
devotional carvings of the middle
ages-the triptyches, the private tab
ernacles, the beautiful little ivory
madonnas
Among such memorials are the vast
old Puritan Bible boxes. Cumbrous.
ancient arks, into which the revised
version of James |. was once commit
ted for safe ward and keeping. The
sound oakboards with which they were
made have resisted the tooth OF time.
In the long journeys OF the men OF
the Puritan period, when the scrip
lures were part OF the daily accom-
paniment of life, the province of these
old boxes may readily be seen. With
in the home they were made to con-
tain those ponderous family Bibles in
which. especially during the common
wealth, the head of the house care
fully inscribed the birth, death or mar
rage of his children with other memo
rabilia OF family life. This circum-
stance In the absence of other authen-
tic records, and the laxity Of parish
registers, has sometimes proved an in
valuable aid. How little We could have
spared, for instance, that volume in
which Milton recorded the very hour
and minute of his childrens birth.
Ash wood was sometimes used in
the manufacture of Bible boxes, but
oak was the most popular from its
superior powers of resistance, for We
must remember they were at times in
the possession of ecclesiastical stall
warts, the vigor of whose preaching
was sometimes calculated by the
amount of damage done to the pulpit
furniture.
Throughout the commonwealth, and
by the general convention of 1856,
travelling ministers were gratuitously
supplied with Bibles, very expensive
Item; and in struggling pastorates the
book, with its appropriate Golfer, often
formed the sole effects of a new con-
venticle. 1t is curious fact that
Bibles We're sometimes subjected to
railing, even in those austere days.
In 1875 one DR.. Wilde bequeathed $3.50
for the purpose of providing Bibles to
be rallied among the poorer brethren.

Odd Ways of CATCHING Fish

The Icelanders are said at one time
to have taught bears to Jump into the

the fishermen use branches of nine

boards placed in manner to reflect
