XANTIPPE.

Xantippe was the wife of Socrates,
the Athenian philosopher, and was re-
markabe for her moroseness and vio-
lence of temper. It is said that Soc
rates was aware OF her character, and
married her to exercise his patience.
She, however, loved her husband and
mourned his death, which took place
about 39S B. C. It is just possible
that Xantippe had cause for her tenn
per, for Socrates was in the habit
of spending many of his evenings in
the company of the beautiful Aspa-
STA. 1t is certain that Xantippe low
ed Socrates for the qualities of his
mind, and she was always true to him
Had he been as true to her, she would
no doubt, have been a milder, as wei
as happier woman.
A fine of $50 is fixed for each seal
shot with long range gun in the wa
tiers of Maine.

MAKEUP OF PRUSSIANS
Primitive Balto- Slavic People Bar
barians in Technical Sense
of the Word.

Scribner's Magazine: When an
Arab historian begins his record OF
his native town, he should, by strict
rule start with some account of the
creation of the world. We need not
go back quite so far, but we must
catch glimpse of the way in which
Prussia was subdued, and see who
were the peoples who once dwelt
there and who subdued them.
The conquerors were Germans or
Teutons (the names are synony-
mous), a noble race in origin, but
corrupted in Germany, as we shall
see, by the worst that dying Rome
could give. The conquered were
Prussians, a primitive Balto-Slavic
people. barbarians in the technical
sense of the term. The fruit of the
union OF conquering German and
conquered Prussian is still called
Prussian: and thus we must con-
stantly distinguish, in the light OF
history and ethnology, between the
true German, who is an honorable
man, now found chiefly in Scandi-
navia and England and the debased
German in Germany; just as we
must not confuse the true Prussian
"a Balto-Slav by race-with the
modern hybrid German-Balt who
has usurped his name.
1t is generally known that Prussia
was conquered by the German Order
of Teutonic Knights, Teutonic, in
deed, they were, for none but Ger
mans were deemed worthy to join
their consecrated band; knights they
were not until they received, as by
some satanic jest, that white robe,

England. The present government and
its methods she admires beyond measure
She has little sympathy for Irish Ma
tionalist aspirations and the home rule

Mrs. Pankhurst has no ambition to see
women in parliament, but puts all her
faith in the political pressure to be eXer'
cised by the Woman's party. By their
voting strength alone they will build an
England of fair conditions for women
good wages, short working housr, and
contentmant.
The impression Mrs. Pankhurst gives
in these unquiet days is Of n rock against

the Prussian pirate hojsts when he
has stolen sufficiently close to his
unsuspecting prey. "Hospitallers oi
Saint Mary OF the Germans in Jeru-
salem" they dubbed themselves. The
title was a lie. They were not true
Crusaders. but only a few burghers
from Bremen and Lubbock, who built
a hospital at Acre when the city
was besieged by the hosts OF the
Saracens. They never fought for the
redemption of the Holy Land; they
never saw Jerusalem. Soon they
found Europe more suited to their
talents, and the poor barbarians OF
the Baltic coasts offered an easier
conquest.
Thus, in the opening years OF the
thirteenth century, the work began.
The robe OF purity was soon stained
with crime on crime; the cross of
Christ again and again was made
Kissing aud byword among the
Gentiles. The rape OF Belgium may
be full of horror, but the rape OF the
Baltic lands is almost as ghastly-not
quite so hideous, we must admit. for
the Prussian has been able to make
some progress in these seven CEN
turies.
Such were the ingredients of the
witches caldron-Romanized Teu-
ton and Mongolized Slav. Satan him
self could scarcely desire more. For
almost century the war was waged,

union, though for a time the mon

world by tenuous mantle OF refine

Huguenot exiles, and, it may well
be. from the shallow philanthropy

Christian Names" because they aren't
Christian, very often. "Given names"
Is perhaps the better way Of describ-
ing them. Perhaps you have heard OF
the Irishman assisting at baptism,
who when he heard the godmother
answer Hazel" to the question as to
the child's name, broke forth: For
the love av hiven; the whole calendar
is full of the names Of blessed female
saints, and they do be calm the baby
after a nut ~
I thought of that when I looked
through the catalogue Of girls col
lege the other day and noted these
labels: Code Mae, Eura. Arvilla,
Kathryn. Elva, Melba, Izer. Neya. Ra-
mona, Mabelle. Vida. Esta, Mills,
Mayme, Mable. Arthetta, Lilyan, Bu-
lab, Arbita. Narmie, Ara, jennie. ROxa,
Zurelle. Zuliene, Vanja, Mote, Corenna.
1t was comfort to get back to Bridget
and Margaret! Names are not arbi-
trary combinations of v0wels and con-
sonants; they have. or should have.
significance, q historic setting. per
sonal and family relationship, that dig
mites them.
To invent fantastic labels for pet
dogs may be allowed; but human be-
ings ought not to be put on that level.
So, misspellings of familiar names,
Christian or family, seem either undig-
nified or ignorant, now when fixed
spellings have been accepted. Can
some one explain Ga Nun and U'Rell,
both of which variants intrigue me2-

What may we take into the vast foreverf
That marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long endeavoyi
No fame-wreRthed crown we wore,
Nor garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown
portal :?
No gold, no gains
OF all our touing life: in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains.
Nor gilds, nor stains
Naked from out that far abyss behind us
We entered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind
What wondrous world was near.
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starless night before Us,
Naked we glide;
No hand has mapped the consultations
No comrade at our side.
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight. black
and hollow,
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning of a Fathers hand We
follow
His love alone is there.
No curse, no care.
