Books In Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
auctions to its credit In prose as well
as poetry. In his prison at Athens,
Socrates completed his great argument
for immortality; in Roman dungeon
Calico made some Of his greatest dis
coveries. In his prison In Wartburg
castle Luther translated the New Test
ameht into the German language Dur
Ing his twelve years In Bedford Jail
Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
of the Pilgrims Progress" Sir Wal
ter Raleigh wrote his fragmentary
history of the world to beguile the long
years of his Imprisonment In the
Tower Of London. Much Of the New
Testament also is prison literature.
Some of the finest Of the epistles OF
st. Paul were written during his i'm
prisonment at Rome. and the Book Of
the Revelation OF ST. John was writ

W0MAN'S DRESS NOT MODERN
That Dame Fashion Has Reipned
for Quite 4 Lengthy Period.

Rock drawings recently laid bare In
the Spanish peninsula have discovered
to us very interesting period Of pre-
historic man. From lecture recent
ly delivered In London by Sir Arthur
Evans Of the British Archaeological as
ISOLATION 1t appears that palaeolithic
woman was not only dressed, but most
gracefully. At Cogul the drawings in
dicate that the sacred dance was per-
formed by women, clad from the waist
downward In well-cut gowns whilst
In the rock shelter of Alpera the dress
of the same sklrted ladies is supple
mented by thin flying sashes. In the
paintings at Cueva de la Viege women
are seen with still longer gowns ris-
ing to their bosoms, their shoulders
yelled in scarfs.
Thus we are astonished to find that
fashion has a much longer history
than has been hitherto believed.
These recent discoveries are the
more interesting because hitherto
amongst a wealth of wonderfully
drawn animals and sign writings the
human figure has been extremely rare
In European discoveries of the kind,
and it is reassuring to know that our
predecessors at period even as re-
mote as this were not without the
charm and comfort OF clothes, and
that woman was then, as now, pi-
oneer in the great and enthralling arts
Of dress and adOrnment.

NEW IDEA OF deficiency"

Business Men 10 an Improve
ment on Old Methods.

Efficiency" as interpreted in the
world of business in recent years, GOV.
cred multitude Of SINS There is no
question that modern business efficien-
cy, when applied understandingly, has
produced excellent results. But-and
here's the rub-too often would-be eff
ficiency experts have been mere bun
glers. To their regret, thousands of
business men have utilized the services
of this type Of expert, who talks a
great deal, demands large salary,
and after introducing hundreds OF card
index systems, discharging capable en-
ployees and upsetting the results of
years of constructive work, leaves for
new fields. Some time ago the larger
business concerns, particularly in this
city, decided that this class Of tex
perts' was not what was needed most
and set about finding out what really
was necessary to fill the lOngfelt want.
The result was the discovery of the
new efficiency" which operates alike
for the benefit Of the employer and
employee, and which, when more gen.
orally adopted, will place modern big
business upon a much higher plane
than it ever has occupied. The new
efficiency consists in the employers do
Ing everything possible for the mental
and physical betterment OF those whom
they hire, surrounding them in their
places Of employment with such con-
veniences and entertainment as will
make their hours Of labor pleasure
and not task, and endeavoring to
create and sustain general feeling Of
mutual interest and good will among
| everybody concerned, from heads of
concerns to the humblest worker. The
result has been In such places as the
laudable endeavor has been carried out
intelligently that the employees have
met the advances fully half way, and
an increased degree OF efficiency has
been obtained which could not have
been procured In any other manner

Vigilance Committee.

The vigilance committee of colonial
times, an unauthorized, loosely con-
nected body of citizens representing
public opinion, was formed In the 13
American colonies Immediately pre-
ceding the revolution. Its object pri-
msrily was to enforce the agreement
not to use British products, but later
the scope was enlarged, investigation
being made as to suspected persons
loyalty to the American cause and
punishment being melted out to Tories.
At first the activities were secret.
