Former Peace and War Cycles.

Isaiah had an inspired vision. of a
time when swords should be beaten
into plOwshares and spears into prun-
ing hooks. BY the Amphictyonic coun-
Gil the Greeks sought to mitigate wars
between the Greek states, though their
efforts did not reach as far as the bar
barians, as they called the rest of the
world In the eleventh century A. d.
peace movement called the truce Of
God spread over western Europe. A
peace palace was erected and confer
ences were held at Liege and Christen-
dom dreamed the same dream of peace
that it afterward dreamed in the first
decade of the twentieth century-a
dream from which it was rudely awak-
ened by the Crusades.-C Her

The big railroad strike which was
scheduled to take place on Monday
morning of last week was called OFT
at the last moment after Congress
had passed legislation which preceded
for an eight hour day on all railroads
of the country and tbs other questions
at stake between the railroads and
employees will be arbitrated by a
commission. Had the strike order
gone into effect it would have tied
up every railroad in the country and
would have been the cause for great
suffering in many places.
We are indeed glad to see the
strike situation settled as it has been
and the legislation passed will likely
prevent other strikes from occurring
on the great railroad systems of the
country.

bikes and bitches.

The word "dike" used in connection
with flood damage along the Zuyder
Zee is etymolOgically akin to ditch"
the meaning of which is familiar, and
for which it is commonly an inter
changeable term. But in the sense
now employed it of course means an
cmbankmcnt. Holland is the classic

Roman occupation before the Christian

Rodin and His Models.

It Is one OF the peculiarities of NJ.
Rodin, the famous sculptor, that he
never poses a model. When a model
enters his studio he engages her in
conversation upon subject foreign to
art and thus encourages her TO forget
herself. Meanwhile his attention ap-
pears to be engrossed elsewhere, but
he IS watching her keenly. When the
model unconsciously assumes a pose
or an expression which he believes
would be effective he bids her hold
that position, while he sets TO work.
By this method he believes he avoids
stilted and studied poses. -....-..---

Maxine the PRUNING Cuts.

The method Of cutting when pruning
apple trees is very important. The best
advice is to cut every branch, whether
large or small, as close as possible to
the part from which it is taken. Never
leave stubs, for stubs will not permit
the healing over of the wounds, but
may induce decay. Make all cuts
smooth and close
