The drug hashlsh or Indian hemp,
for which Egyptians will pay such a
high price, has given us our word,
"~assassln." These desperndoes form
ed originally a secret society In Per-
sin, relates London Chronicle, in the
eleventh century, members Of which
were under n vow Of blind obedience
to their chief. They were called upon
to perpetrate the most atrocious deeds,
and before these rufians were sent
out to perform their grewsome tasks
they were given hashish, by which
they were thrown into a kind of &C.
stasy or int~oxication. Hence they were
called "Hashishin," meaning hemp
enters. The word became part OF
Western languages, but was changed
into 'assassins."

Where canea Are Popular.

There Is probably no country In the
world where the use of walking sticks
is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries a
cane, o only in the towns and cities,
but also in the country and, in addi-
ton, there Is n large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively In the country and at sea-
side resorts, but not to Il great extent
in the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the wealth
er Is often very unsettled, so that the
use of umbrellas is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture of umbrellas and
walking sticks an important industry
In the British isles.

Year Of Christie Birth.

History tells us that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar Of their
own, but reckOned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anna Urbis Conditiae" or
year Of the founding of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
Of Dlocletlan, calling It "the Era of the
Martyrs :" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts Of Egypt. In the
sixth century, Denis the Little, n Greek
monk living In Rome, made n calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date Of which he fixed at 753 A. u. c..
SO we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 1853 b. G. At the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this vas an his
tOrical blunder. But NJ general no
tlee vas taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
ars to determine, without much pos
sibllity of doubt, the exact year of the
birth Of Jesus and to place 1t at what
we call 8 B. @.

Money may be mlsused. The power
Il represents may be abused, says a
noted writer, just as the power Of the
press or any other physical or social
force may be abused. And the desire
for money may be perverted, just as
may be any other normal or healthy
desire. But that Is not the way to look
ut money any more than It Is the way
to look at any other power or quality
Of human nature that may be used Ell
Their for good or evil.
