KNEW THE WORD "KIRK."
But Went Astray When He Followed
II Into the Turkish.

But Went Astray When He Followed
II Into the Turkish.
TO hold down successfully the job
OF governor of a state or vice pres
dent of the United States one does not
have to be up on oriental languages.
So the Honorable Thomas r. Marshall
never hesitates to tell this on himself:
1t was ut Il reception in indianapolis
which took place when the Bulgarian
army was driving the Turks out of
Thrace The battle of Kirk Kelisseh
had just been fought.
"Odd name that--Kirk kelisseh,"
said the then governor of Indiana. ut
means Forty Churches, or. rather,
mosques. Now. isn't it queer that the
word kirk which, as we all know,
stands for church in the Scotch yer.
nacular. and which appears in German
and other languages of northern Eu-
rope, should have precisely the same
meaning in Turkish. 1t makes US
wonder whether all tongues may not
nave mad q common source, ana III tnat
is so 1t would probably be found that
that source was in the east"
There was murmured applause from
every one except an unobtrusive little
professor, who had been lowering near
the group,
Pardon me, governor he plped up.
but your conclusions, while interest
ing, might be called-er, little mis-
leading. 1t is perfectly true that Kirk
Kelsseh is the Turkish for Forty
Churches, but 1t is the word 'kells-
sch that means place Of worship,
while kirk means forty"
And the professor was right-New

EXTREMES IN DAYLIGHT.
There is, In Reality. No One Longest
or Shortest Day,


1t Is usual to regard Dec. 21 as being
the shortest day in the year and June
21 as the longest. But this impression,
like so nlany others that are ingrained
in the popular mind. is not a strictly
accurate one.
True it is. of course, that Oh Dec. 21
and June u respectively the sun reach
es its most southerly and most norther-
ly points In the zodiac and begins in
the one ease to ascend and in the other
case to decline But this is in theory
only. because for two or three days
preceding and following these dates
there is no observable difference in its
position Or its hours of rising and set
ting.
This question of latitude, by the way.
is extremely important when speaking
of the shortest or longest day or days
of the year.
In London and its neighborhood. for
instance. the shortest days are seven
hours and forty-live minutes and the
three or four longest days" around
June 81 are sixteen hours and twenty
six minutes. At Tornea. in Finland,
June 81 brings Il day nearly twenty
two hours long and Christmas one less
than three hours in length In st. Pc
tersburg the longest day is nineteen
hours and the shortest five hours, while
at Spitzbergen the longest day is three
and half months, the shortest being
counted in seconds only.-London An

New Year Calls In China,

New Year calls are the custom in
China, and you have to pay them in
festive attire Of silk or satin.
These fine clothes tsays Archdeacon
Moule in the Chinese People, can be
hired, the price being gradually lower
ed as the hours Of the first six days
pass by. We complained once Of the
very late arrival Of caller, who
should have been among the first to
salute us. He replied that money was
scarce, and he was obliged to wait for
the cheapest day to secure fine robe
already donned and doffed by dozen
of others. During these ceremonial
days the whole community seems to
give itself over to indiscriminate gam
bling, practice illegal and condemned
both by Chinese law and standards of
morality, but winked at during this
season.

Acute appendicitis calls for immedi,

there was no medical treatment for
acute appendicitis and that the mortal

The percentage of mortality in op'

nation is shown by hospital statistics
to be very low 1t is practically nil.
- The mortality In medically treat

Indian Carieature.

Humor is more or less secular en-
joyment. and its suggestion In pictorial
art therefore necessarily has secular
significance. And MS the chief motive
Of Indian art was religious expression,
secularism in the form of caricature
was never very much emphasized. But
this aspect. though not very frequently
represented, was not entirely absent In
Indian art. Even the Oldest records of
Indian painting bear evidence to the
fact that the sense Of rldicule or satire
was not altogether divorced from the
canops of art OF those times.

MILITIA DIDN'T GO

Despite the fact that they were
ordered to be in readiness to enter
the strike zone on December 1st.
the local militia company has not
as yet been ordered to the fed.
Orders which were thought to
mean that they would leave here
the first were issued last Thurs
day. and the company was wired
to send in their requisition for
supplies. This was done. but the
action of President Wilson in ap-
pointinganother commission in an
attempt to settle the strike, and
his positive announcement that
the Federal troops were not to be
removed for some time, seems to
settle the affair for the present.
Gov. Ammons has notified this
commission that the State is now
in readiness to take over it's af-
fairs, and there seems to be but
little doubt but that the troops
will sooner or later be sent back
to the coal mining districts, unless
the miners obey the laws.
