The objectionable Sin.

From the Columbus fOhio, journal.
\ gentleman speaking i'll unfriendly
terms of another reached the climax of
his depreciation by eXclaiming: Why,
he wouldn't get UP to give q lady seat
in the trolley" Well, that was scorch-
en- He might have done worse by saying
the man was a pickpockct, burglar. an
incendiary but it would have been un-
necessary and besides it would have
been untrue. The accused was respect
able man, but there was Il screw loose
somewhere in his early education. Pos
siby he had never heard of the Golden
Rule. nor appreciated how much it might
have pleased his mother if some kind
gentleman had arisen and courteously
rendered her a seat. We cannot alwa Us
tell the antecedents to which :; man :
habits must conform.

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON. February 24.-Thc mining
settlement occupied the attention of deal
ers on the stock exchange today. but eN-
pectatiOn of an early arrangement of
peace in the near east gave the markets
d cheerful tone. and Paris buying in
the mining section was in keeping with
the more confident feeling. Late in the
session. however, prices turned easier and
most of the gains We're lost. Mexican
securities were weak.
American securities We're quiet and
steady and fraction higher pending
the Wall street opening. New York ac-
copied the higher level established here
over the holiday but sold in the late
trading and caused an easy closing.
Money and discount rates We're firm.
The Bank Of England secured the hulk
Of the S4,:.N.ooo South African gold Of
fered in the open market. There was no
out side demand for the metal and the
price remained unchanged at as Sd.

The Oldest Order.
1e Westmipste- Gazette,

From the Westminster Gazette.
What is the oldest order in existence?
The claim is made for that of the Holy
Sepulchre, the grand citizenship of which
Las just been conferred by the Pope on a
member of the Irish nationalist party,
Sir Thomas Grattan Esmond. 1t appears
that no date or the name OF founder
can be assigned to the Order OF the Holy
Sepuchre. though there Is q legendary
tradition that traces it's origin to the time
% Charlemagne. In the middle of the
la st century, however. when the Latin
!,stria rebate of Jerusalem was re-estab-
lisned. tine Office of grand master of the
order war transferred TO IL by Pope Plus
N. Who many years later. in lScS, Gre
lted by statutc three ranks of the order
the Grand Cross. Commander and Knight.
Tie costume is white cloak. with the
cross Of Jerusalem in red enamel. The
I'Ope himself is grand master of the

School Books.
From the Detroit Journal.

From the Detroit Joufhai-
Second hand school books are now
under fire in Wisconsin on the ground
that they are carriers OF disease ana
cannot be entirely disinfec. ed. This calls
new attention to the secondhand school
book system in vogue in our free text
book plan. The free text book system was
inaugurated to make education easier for
poorer children. 1t has resulted not
merely in distributing the same books
many times TO different children, but n
depriving these poor homes or ruua-
mcntary library. In some of these homes
the only library they ever had was IL
the school books bought for the childrel
and kept by them through the years.
Now they have not even these books.
and the children have very little liberty
about handling the books or taking them
home II is an odd spectacle to see these
TWO neghbor states OF Michigan ana
Wisconsin-one of them asitat.nc aga:ntt
second hand text books and the ofnsi'
making them the rule in the sranlm,

The Highest Railroad.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
Between the Mulato river in Chile and
Potosi in Bolivia railroad line whose
highest point is 1900 feet above sea
level has been constructed. This is the
highest railroad in the world. The road
connecting Argentina and Chile reaches
almost the same height. An English COM
pany proposes to construct a road still
higher to unite Mexico City with Pueblo
and ascend Mount Popocatapetl, this
volcano being 1850 feet above sea level.
This new line will serve principally to
transport sulphur from bed in the
mountain containing. according to the es-
innate of experts, millions Of tons.

The Catapult.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The catapult, which the suffra cites
have pressed into their service, was
the invention of the Romans, who made
of it most formidable weapon. The
larger kinds. discharging huge mis-
siles. served as our modern artillery,
and the smaller hand catapult was
used for throwing darts and bullets.
Many sportsmen, even today, carry cat
apults when shooting big game, as they
can be used to knock over birds and
small animals for the larder without
disturbing the larger game.

Facts About Bagpipes.
F rom the London Chronicle.

Il
TIE bagpipes range not only in time
from Apollo and the Bible to the present
day. but geographically from China to
Spain and England eve are said to have
given them to Scotland). One country,
however, finally lost peculiarly severe
form of the instrument. This was the
Sandman ''lannedda," which had three
pipes, all placed in the piper's mouth and
was played by rubbing strips of wax up
and down over the holes. The work was
SO exhausting that nearly all the pipers
died young. In 1915 Mr.. George Burdett
came across one who had survived to the
age of eighty. But he was the last of
the lannedda players and when he died
the instrument was played no more.
