The Druids,

The druids were evidently Of very
great antiquity, for there cannot be
much doubt that it was one Of their
customs that Vergil had in mind when
ne wrote in the "Aeneid." vi, l42, that
the "only means Of access for living
mortal to the world Of spirits was the
carrying of golden twig which grew
in a dark and thick grove The re-
semblance Of the story to the druid
ical rite is perfect. The druids prac-
ticed their rites in dark groves. If q
mistletoe was discovered growing
upon an oak a priest severed it with
a knife, and a festival was held under
the tree at which two milk white
bulls were offered as sacrifice. This
was a sacrifice to the sun god. and the
mistletoe. from its pale greenish vel
low tint. was regarded as kind Of
vegetable gold and was accordingly
looked upon as being fit offering to
the sun.

Roorish and Urbane.

When we speak of a person as "boor-
ish" we mean that he'is rude, ill bred
and uncouth. We seldom stop to think
that the word originally meant moth
ing more than rustic Boor is the
same word as the German bauer
and the Dutch "boer," signifying "a
farmer" The manners Of the peas
antry are alluded to in an uncompli-
mentary way by the history of this
and many other words in the lam
guage. Heather" and pagan" meant
simply country bred" and village
bred" once upon time. Culture and
the higher civilized virtues were
thought Of as originating in towns and
making their way slowly, if at all, to
the rural districts. So we have as an
antonym to "boorish" the word "ur-
bane"-which originally meant "city.
1ed."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MUslC's UNIQUE QUALITY.

Wherein II Differs From Sculpture,
Peetry and Painting.
Music finds it's perfection In itself
without relation to other objects It
% what 1t is In itself alone. 1t Is non
defnitive; 1t does net use symbols Of
something else; it cannot be translated
into other terms.
The poet seeks always O complete
union Of the thing said and the method
Of saying It. Flaubert seeks patiently
and persistently for the one word
which shall not only be the exact SYM
Dol of his thought. but which shall fit
his euphony.
The painter 80 draws his objects, so
distributes his colors and so arranges
his composition as to make Of them
plastic mediums for the expression Of
his thought, and the greatness Of his
picture depends first of all and inevi-
tably on his power Of fusing his SUBJ
jects with his technique.
In sculpture precisely the same pro-
cess takes place. Neither Of these arts
actually copies nature. Each ear
ranges" it for its own purpose.
In music this much sought union Of
matter and manner is complete. The
thing said and the method of saying 1t
are one and indivisible 1t is, as Pater
says, ''the ideal Of all art whatever.
precisely because in music it is i'm
possible to distinguish the form from
the substance or matter. the subject
from the expression. n.'-Atlantic.

VICE PRESIDENT KING.
He Took the Oath Of Office Abroad, but
Did Not Like TO Serve.

Did Not Like 80 Serve.
William Rufus King, born April 6.
1886. died April 1S, 1853, was a vice
president of the United States who
never served in that capacity and one
who took the oath Of Office on foreign
soil, something which can be said Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people of this coun-
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed special act
authorizing the United States consul at
Matanzas, Cuba, to swear him IN as
vice president at about the hour when
Pierce was taking the oath Of office at
Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
a dot. and on the day appointed, at a
plantation On one of the highest hills in
the vicinity of Matanzas, Mr.. King was
made vice president Of the United
States amid the solemn "Vaya vol con
Dios' (God will be with you) OF the
creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at CahaW-
ba, Ala, arriving at that place April
II, 1853, and died the following day.

BASEBALL STORIES.
Connie Mack's Trick on Cap Anson and
the Foul Strike Rule.

Sn0 F0ul SCFlkS hule.
There may have been better catchers
than Connie Mack, but none any fox,
ler. Connie was with the Pirates back
In 1893, when he played little trick
on Cap Anson that won a game for
Pittsburgh.
Ad Gumbert was pitching for the
Pirates and got himself into hole.
Chicago filed the bases in hurry, and
only one man was out Cap Anson
came TO bat
In those days Cap was a terror to
pitchers. The situation was serious
Cap had a way Of taking two strikes
and then lighting on the third one for
fare-ye-welL
And so It was here. Gunbert foated
two across, and Cap didn't blink an
eye.
Suddenly Connie Mack stepped aside
while Gumbert held the ball, and took
off his mask. He wiped his brow
tossed his glove aside and started re
moving his chest protector.
Arson was amazed He looked
around and glanced with wide open
eyes at Mack. whats tbs matter
Connie7" he inquired "Ain't you 60
ing to give me csack at the bal?"
As he spoke Connie signaled to Gum
| bert and he whipped q fast one
straight across- Mack reached out MS
chest protector and blocked the ball
Then he grabbed 1t as It rolled away
touched the phte, forciug the man who
was on third, and then, throwing tc
frSt, doubled Anson. The Cap was sc
surprised he didn't even try to run.
Behind every change in rules lies
pretty little romance Of one kind or an
other. According to George Moreland
it was NcGraw and Thomas who
forced the foul strike rule.
In the early piueties those two mer
were 80 adept In knocking fouls unit
they got one they could hit that they
delayed the game indefinitely. 1t wa:
nothing extraordinary for them tt
crack out twenty or so fouls in single
time at bat.
Like the expert cricket batter, they
could tick the ball at will, just meet
ing 1t. They worried pitchers so tina
finally, in desperation, they would lay
one across, waist high, and they'c
crown it.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE WORLDS LARGEST CITY.
l& 10 a Tumbladown Place In Mexico
and la Called Namiquipa.


Namiquipa. In the state Of Chihua-
hua, Mexico. has the distinction of be-
ing the largest city in the world. Its
site covers an area Of 444 square miles.
or approximately $4,000 acres, its ex-
act boundaries having been fixed some
800 years ago by a charter from the
then king Of Spain, who gave the land
to some colonists from CASTLE.
The greater part Of the city site, how,
ever, is unbuilt upon, and, as regards
the built over portion. many Of the
houses, originally constructed Of sun
dried brick. are in ruins.
Next to Namiquipa the biggest city
OF either ancient or modern times was
undoubtedly Babylon. Recent exca-
yations have uncovered the old walls.
and they are found to have measured
fifteen miles each way, inclosing the
city in the form Of perfect square.
An easy arithmetical calculation shows
rs that the area Of Babylon inside the
walls, therefore, was 225 square miles.
or $4,000 acres.
Compared with such figures as these
Birmingham with S,42O acres, Norwich
with 7,472 acres and Glasgow with
Gill acres are almost in the nature of
small villages. Yet these are the three
biggest British cities-that is to say.
they contain within their civic bounda
ries the biggest area of ground.

no more than about 640 acres. approx

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
To the Editor and General Public

To the Editor and General Public -
The Civic Club has requested me to
state my views upon the question now
pending in Mineral Point, as to the wis
dom of electing the members of the
school board, instead of having them
appointed. | advocate it for the fol-
lowing reasons;
First-It is the democratic way of
doing and has been a success whenever
tried in America since the days of the
Pilgrim Fathers.
Second-The public school is more
vitality related to all the people, both
men and women, than any other part
of the machinery of government, and
being so very local, can be understood
by all far better, and becomes matter
of common interest more easily than
any other branch of the government.
1t is certainly of as much interest
and vital concern to the women as to
the men, for mothers are proverbally
interested in their children and should
in all fairness be represented in the Sc
lection of those who shall have in
charge the education of their own off
spring. Besides, most of the teachers
are women and among high school grad
yates large majority are girls who
become voters, when they have chance,
very soon after graduation, thus form
ing large andinteligent body of voters,
who, under the old system, have been
utterly ignored.
Third School interests should be
taken from the realm of party and
political influences just as much as
possible Surely all the voters are
able to exercise more wisdom in the
choice of members of the school board
than is anyone man or at the most,
even few, selected as they are upon
other and very different issues than
schools.
Objections have been raised upon the
ground that the best men for such
work will not allow their names to be
used when the election is held, and
that set of men with cranky notions
will spring up and push their candidacy,
and that in fact the school board will
come by the election of the whole peo-
pie interested, an incompetent body of
men. Let the man who follows Alex
ander Hamilton who said The people
the people-the people is great
beast, hold this, but those of US who
feel that we can trust the people, and
an intelligent electorate is the safest
guide for affairs, and who desire to
have the will of the people executed
win quietly go on advocating election
instead of appointment.
One intensely interested in the pub
lie schools.
