Ability In performing on the jews
harp (Which, by the way, has nothing
to do with the Hebrews) was once the
medium Of bringing luck to German
soldier One of Frederick the Greats
warriors so charmed the king with his
performance on two tewsharps that
he gave him his discharge and large
money present and enabled him to
amass fortune playing at concerts.
The greatest performer on the jews
harp was German, Charles Eulen-
stein, whose exhibitions In London In
1923 were very popular but also. un-
fortunately, fatal TO his teeth.-London

ANTIQUITY OF SEAL RINGS.
They Are Mentioned In the Bible and
Their Oriuip Ia Unknown,

The origin of seals Is lost In the
shades Of antiquity. In Assyrian and
| Babylonian ruins seals are still found.
| and 1t is certain that their use passed
| from those countries to Greece and
Rome, to all European countries and
from England to America. Originally
they were set Ia rings.
The earliest references to them In
Biblical history is found in Genesis
Yxxviii, where II Is recorded that
pending certain negotiations between
Judah and lamar, the widow OF his
son, lamar demanded pledge and
Judah gave her his signet and other
belongings. And when Ahab. king Of
Israel, tried to buy Naboth's vineyard
and couldn't his wife Jezebel wrote
letters in Ahab's name and sealed
them with his SEAL
In the book OF Esther. chapter viii.
II IS written that King Ahasuerus said
to Esther and Mordecai, Write We
also for the Jews. as 1t liketh you, In
the kings name and seal IL with the
kings ring, for the writing which Is
written In the kings name and sealed
with his ring may no man reverse"
Seals doubtless were used long be-
fore the stirring events described In
the quoted chapter Of Genesis, but no
one took the trouble TO write about
them. From the time OF jeremiah TO
William the Conqueror the pen was
unknown TO king. noble or
SO the seal was absolutely
necessary.-Kansas City Star.

Now We Know.

Ii needed the wholesale killing OF
Americans to make us realize som,
things about this war. For nine months
the chronicle of savagery. had Deer
growing. Yet the atrocities in Belgium
and France, the German achievements
against old men. women and children
the stories of Louvain, Gerbeyillers and
other cases of butehery and wanton de.
vastation remained incomprehensibl TO
MS. The unlikelness OF such horrors
seemed in our minds to diseredit even
positive evidence of them. We could
not realize that such happenings were
really going on. The truth was much
too far fetched. The facts sounded
vague and legendary. One touch OF sick :
ening horror of our own. for our own,
has changed all this. Now we know.
The rest is not only proven, by the
testimony of eyewitnesses, and doubly
proven by the written diaries of Ger
man prisoners, but made credible by our
own experience. We learn something
from the destruction of men of our own
nation and city, men known to us; the
destruction of American mothers and
American children. The lesson is brought
home. No French or Belgian city con.
signed To rapine. no woman OF child
shot TO death, mutilated or worse, any
longer lacks our full and understanding
sympathy.
Our victims have established a kim
ship with the victims of Belgium and
France. and we begin 10 understand

That Willoughby Cliff.

The Barre Times, in noting the great
landslide on the Mount Pisgah side OF
| Willoughby lake, comments on the pos
sibilities of disaster at that point and
calls for an examination OF the side OF
the cliff to see that no more rocks re.
main there that might be loosened and
sent hurting down on human beings at
the bottom. We feel certain that the
Times writer has never gazed upon the
scenic glories at Willoughby. On one
side Mount Pisgah rises precipitously
from the lake to height of something
like 1900 feet and on the opposite side
Mount Hor is nearly as high. There
is barely room for roadway on the
Mount Pisgah side and on the western
shore not even trail has ever been
blazed. The cliff OF Mount Pisgah has
a sheer fall of 1000 feet, making it the
greatest precipiee in the eastern part of
North America, except with the excep-
ton of the break on the Saguenay, which
Murray described as OF awful grandeur"
An examination OF the Mount Pisgah
cliff would hardly be the pastime of a
drowsy summer day. Landsldes at Will
loughby have occurred at intervals from
the time since man first knew the region
and probably for ages before. These
slides always take place in the spring
when the rocks have become loosened
from the alternate freezing and thawing
effects. The conditions OF the highway
at the foot of the mountain have called
for state aid in the past and such aid
will undoubtedly be required in the fu.
ture. a. the town of Nestmore con-
tains less than $50 inhabitants and has
a high tax rate. TO make the cliff
safe would be an engineering problem
of gigantic magnitude.-Brattleboro Re-
former.
