BIBLE NAMES PASSING
PURITANlcAL NOMENCLATURE
NO LONGER AFFECTED.
Even In Conservative New England
Marked Diminutlon Is Noted
Class Lists of Yale Bear Elo-
quent Testimony to Fact.

A certain set of Christian names
taken from the Scriptures has been
in use so long that we do not think of
them as Bible names. Among them
are Adam, Moses, Samuel, David, Dan
iel, Solomon, Abraham, Isaac and ia
cob. Others taken from the saints,
like Peter, Paul, John, Stephen and
Matthew, originally given to children
because they we're born on the saints
day, are still so common that we
think of them as English names.
These names antedate the use Of
surnames, as may be inferred from
the fact that nearly all Of them have
given rise to patronymics, like Jacob
son, Peterson and Stevenson. In the
18th century missionaries sent out
by the authorities used to baptize
whole villages at once, and to save
time invested all the men with the
name of John or some other saint,
and the women usually Mary or Mar
tina.
To distinguish the Johns some addi-
tional name like Short or Strong or
White or Black was given him by
the neighbors, and SO Christian names
and surnames were united.
After the Reformation it became
the. fashion among the Puritans to
give children tie names of characters
like the Old Testament, and odd ones
like Melchisidek or Brazillai we're pre-
ferred Among these were Abel, Lee
vi, Jesse, Amos, Asa, Isaiah, Ephraim,
Gideon, Malachi. Job, Abner, Hosea,
Ezekiel, jeremiah, Zachariah, Asher,
Eli, and hundreds OF others.
For some reason the use Of these
names has largely ceased. We can
understand why Ebenezer has been
dropped, though once one of the Pu-
ritan Bible names have strong man
ly ring, and have been borne by able
men. That they are going out of use
is very evident from comparing the
early class lists of Yale with later
ones.
Twenty-Five classes in the early
18th century, numbering 375 gradu-
ates, show 119 with Puritan given
names. This is about 80 per cent.
Ten classes in the goth century, num-
bering 3037, show but rs given names
Of this class, or less than l per cent
Ebenezer and Barzillai have complete
ly disappeared. Nor is Peletiah or
Zadok to be found.
We can only hope that the descend
ants of these ancient worthless have
inherited some of their sterling quail
ties, though they do not perpetuate
the name.-Hartford Times.

GREATER THAN THE MACHINE
Worlds Most Lasting Triumphs Have
Been Those Achieved by the
Individual.

Who is the great leader, the man
who can inspire his fellows with a
splendid idea and move them to vast
efforts and sacrifices for cause, or
the manager who apportions men
their jobs and makes them work?
A considerable school of ultramod-
ernists would decide in favor of the
manager. They want human affairs
reduced to mechanical formulate, with
a master engineer in control of the
levers. Socialists, new nationalists"
and tariff lobbyists differ on many
points; but they agree in devotion to
the machine. All regard human be-
ings as units" to be bossed. bullied,
petted. taxed or directed; never as In
dividuals who can be reused to work
out their own salvation.
1t would seem that the burden of
proof rests on the champion Of this
mechanical theory. History gives 1t
small encouragement. The great
epochs of the past are those in which
people thought for themselves and
worked for themselves, and never
asked what's to do" The world looks
back for inspiration and guidance not
to the mechanically managed Roman
empire, but to Greek republics, and
medieval cathedral builders. and out
bursts of individual art and freedom
of the renaissance.-Chicago Journal.

The Lights of London.

George R. Sims, the London journal

melodrama, 1.-THE Lights Of London"
which, produced 80 years ago, in some
parts of the world is actually running

About 80 years ago." said Mr.. Sims,
I'VE young Londoners were mad over

used to take a train after my days

miles from town, and spend the night

harden myself into a long-distance
champion.

walks on the Great North road l fell in
with two young countrymen on the
way to London to seek their fortune.
We struck Highgate on toward dawn,
and there below US lay the lights O.

Festival Of st. Sabas.

The first order of Christian Anchor.
ties established In Palestine was
founded by st. Sabas, whose festival
Is celebrated ON Dec. s, the anniver
sary of his death in the year 532. This
renowned patriarch of the monks OF
Palestine came of a wealthy family,
but dispute among relatives about
the settlement of an estate so dis.
gusted him that he forsook the world
and entered monastery. At the age
OF eighteen he went to Jerusalem, but
later sought seclusion in the wilder
ness. He made his home in cave on
the top of mountain. The fame OF
his holiness spread abroad, and many
came to him, desiring to serve God
under his direction. He finally found
ed a new monastery of men who de
sired ito devote themselves to the
praise and service of God without in
terruption," and gained hundreds OF
adherents. Some of the oldest Chris
tan monasteries In the world, scat.
tered in remote places over the des,
erts of Asia and Africa. were founded
by monks who had received inspira,
ton from St Sabas. In the latter part
Of his long life ST. Sabas was the su,
perior general of all the Anchorites
of Palestine.

Luckily, both Of us managed to keep
quiet, and the panther, after making a
prolonged survey of his surroundings,
rushed upon the goat, but to my in

the goat was tied snapped, and the
panther, carrying the goat, bounded
right up against the front of my

TRAVELLER RELATES HIS WOES
Experience at Russian Custom House
Worse Than Anything Experienced
Even In America.

The method of examination of pas
sengers' chattels by the Russian ex-
else officers Is the subject of an In
burn in THE Railway Magazine" the
New York Tribune's London CORE
epondent writes.
Describing his arrival at St. Peters
burg. Mr.. Weatherpurn says: Amid
vocfferations and hoarse shouting, we
at length moored alongside the quay
OF Washill Ostroff Zone of the islands
on which st. Petersburg Is built). The
babel of tongues in various languages
had almost bewildering effect. From
this I was aroused by the customs Of
ficials, who, selling my trunks and
boxes and demanding my passport. led
me to their superior. The examina-
ton was pretty stiff and 1t included
the smelling and testing by lot OF
dirty-handed persons of certain jars
OF preserves and plum cakes which l
had taken in my baggage. and 1t was
not exactly amusing to see the hasty
and indiscriminate manner adopted In
repacking those innocent articles.
Heavy boots and plum cakes. pre-
serves. writing paper and ink, well
toned white shirts and collars. neck
ties crammed into coat sleeves-aH
that had taken weeks to carefully pack
and stow away-were thrown in a
mass in a box or trunk. the gaping
lids OF which, failing to reach the lock
by some inches, seemed to remain
open mouthed in silent protest
against such ill usage.
"Afterward the dirty hands were
held out for 'natchi,' or tea money. an
institution of which knew more. The
quarreling of the isvostchiks, or cab
men. who. like sharks. had already
scented their prey. would at any
other time have been intensely COM

after some trouble I succeeded in
getting the lids of my boxes closed,
but not until plum cake and boot
heels, burst preserves, white shirts,

mocracy. Half an hour later found

Family Pride In Germany.

The suicide of Princess Sofia OF
Saxe-Weimar represents a tragedy
which is very old both in life and lit
srature. The opposition to her en-
gagement with the son of a banker
seems to have been the subject of gos-
sip In Germany for some time, and it
is to this cause that her act of self.
destruction is generally ascribed.
Distinctions of rank play part in
German consciousness which we can
scarcely realize in this country, and
they have basis in history and ma
tfonal character which is not to be
disposed OF by contemptuous aston
ishment. None the less. family
pride" seems to cut a poor figure by

The fact that the whale is disap-

CALLED FOR MUCH PATIENCE
Making of Arrow Heads Brought Into
RequisitIon All the Art and
Skill of the Indian.

Not all Indians can make arrow
heads. This art was the special func-
ton Of the older and more skillful
men. lshi seems to have been close
ly associated with the usual customs,
he preserves many of the more high
ly developed arts and crafts
In the manufacture of arrow heads,
flint and obsidian were used by the
Yanas.
Obsidian Is volcanic glass, occur
ring In parts of California in the
shape of dark opaque powders of
small size. When splintered either
by stone mallets or by another rock
It appears as brownish or dark gray
glass, uneven In color.
Ishi breaks these powders by hit
ting them with another rock. Having
obtained fragments varying from to
4 inches long to ~ inches wide, and
about quarter of an inch thick, he
Is prepared to fake his haka or heads
The first flakes are large and free
ly made, calculating to give by wide
transverse lines of cleavage, and to
establish the fundamental outlines of
the point. Later these fakes are
smaller and more like finishing touch
es. The tool he now uses Is not horn
but iron or soft steel.
Smaller tools are made OF wire nails
driven into wooden handles inches
long. These are filed to a fat round
ed point. something like blunt
screwdrfver
In working the obsidian this edge
Is held vertical to the stone and the
shaft Of the taking tool in the plane
of the left palm. Apparently the soft
metal permits the glass to make a
small dent in it which engages the
two and allows pressure being ap-
piled to the edge to be faxed.
AS Ishi develops the form of his
arrowhead to graceful acute angle,
he changes to finer taking tool, and
resting the stone on his protected
thumb, he then makes the little inden-
tations near the base, which permit
the sinew to hold tlp head Of the ar
row. Never once during this process
does he hit or beat the obsidian- No
rough force is required, just patient,
artful dexterity and strength of fin
gers.

that the preacher man" was coming,

bushel of friend chicken from which
the necks, backbones and wings had

white as the driven snow and as light

takes his piece of pie in his hand and
bites out crescents of rich, amber
hued deliciousness from the pie, while
the crust around the pie and the sides
