An Eccentric Bishop.

Bishop Wilson of Calcutta had as
housekeeper venerable lady who re-
membered the duel between Sir Philip
Francis and Warren Hastings on Aug
II, 1850. On entering the cathedral on
Sunday morning, fully robed, lawn
sleeves and all, and passing the pew
where the old lady sat he would pause
and give her the kiss of peace before
all the congregation, and this although
he had met her at breakfast
His sermons, too, were racy. Preach
ing against dishonesty, especially in
horsefesh, as one of the great English
failings In India, he went on, Nor are
we, servants Of the altar, free from
yielding to this temptation" Pointing
to the occupant of the reading desk be-
low him: There is my dear and ven
cradle brother, the archdeacon, down
there. He is an instance of 1t. He
once sold me horse. 1t was unsound.

ATLAS AND HIS LOAD.
II Was the Heavens, Not the Earth,
the Titan of Mythology Upheld.


Strictly speaking, "atlas" is a mis-
homer for map book, since it was
not the world, but the heavens, that
the Atlas of mythology upheld Mer.
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. of Germany was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
1t as convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with world upon his
shoulders as frontispiece of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, 1t was said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as q man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into a mountain, upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso,
ciated with heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester, Thou art no
Atlas for so great a weight"
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association Of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for a book of
maps which upholds and exhibits to
us the whole world.

Representative Kahn Shows How Cost

Reduction in the high cost Of living, as
promised in the Democratic platform OF
1872, is a myth, declared Representative
Julius Kahn, of California ranking mi
nority member Of the House Military
Affairs Committee, in a statement given
out yesterday.
Instead Of reducing the price Of iv-
ing under this Democratic administra-
ton, the cost Of food products has con-
stantIy increased" said Mr. Kahn.
Uncle Sam himself feels the pinch. He
can buy cheaper than anybody else be-
In 1914 at the time the Democrats
was paying 3 cents a day per ration
States army. The ration itself has not
been changed for about eight years Its
cost has increased steadily since 1913.
Every year saw an increase until now
the ration amounts to 30 cents a day.
There are approximately $4,000 men in
the regular army and the National Guard.
An increase Of cents per ration means
that the taxpayers Of Uncle Sam have
TO pay 1880 a day more than they would
have had to pay in 1913 to feed Uncle
Sans soldiers. At that rate the increas-
ed cost to feed the army amounts each
month to $3.50 or IS. 10000 a year more
than when the Republicans were In con-
troll. The taxpayers are called upon to
meet this heavy increase.
But II is not only the food for the
army that has increased in cost. The
cost of clothing. shoes and equipment
generally has gone up in proportion
