MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HUM0R
Grand Highly Thought OF In One coun.
try Is Not Always Appreciated
in Others.

When Coleridge said, mo mind is
thoroughly well organized that is de-
hcient In the sense of humOr," he ex-
pressed conviction that seems COM
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride in its humor
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons Of humor shows, broadly
speaking, that the peoples of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
lished in Tokyo, Japanese author, for
example, remarks that humor sis in
deed the flower of life, and life with
out 1t would be as dreary as spring
without its blossoms. To illustrate, he
translates a number of Japanese anec-
dotes, funny stories," as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
Of the funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers. Humor
which really amuses is everywhere
rare and precious, a "f1ower of life,"
as the japanese gentleman poetically
puts it, but growing up in company
with great many weeds.-Christian

Geography SIXTY Years Old.

The rapid development of geography
as college study, since its first ap-
pearance in university. curriculum,
about half century ago, is discussed
by Prof. r. H. Whitbeck of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, in recent ar
ticle on Geography in American and
European Universities" published in
the Journal of Geography. He points
out the following interesting facts:
In 1850 Harvard and Princeton
were the only American universities
offering courses in geography.
Cornell and University Of Wiscon-
sin introduced the subject in 1858,
and Yale followed in. 1872. In 1900
only II American universities taught
the subject, but by 1910 thirty-one
universities were offering variety
Of 142 courses.
With 704 students enrolled in geog-
raphy, the University of Wisconsin
led all others In 1910. With 1,O69 en-
rolled in 1917, it led all others except
the University of Pennsylvania. 1t
now offers seven courses in physical
and economic geography, climatology
and other phases of the subject.

WORK OF MONKS IN EXILE
Congregation Of Armenian Christians
Has Diffused knowledge Of Coun-
try's Language and Literature.

The Mechitarist monks are small
congregation of Armenian Christians
who were exiled from their native land
at the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury. The church in Armenia had long
been divided into bitterly hostile camps
over the question of the nature Of
Christ, and when the Mechitarists en-
tered into co@munion with the Church
Of Rome in 1712 the Armenian patri-
arch succeeded In driving them from
the country. They took up their resi-
dence in the Morea, but they had again
to flee before the advance of the con-
quering Turk, and In 1715 they estab-
lished themselves in Venice, on the
Island of San Lazzaro. Here they set
up printing press and gathered to-
gether large and valuable library of
oriental works. Their name is de-
rived from Mechtar da PetrO, who
founded religious society at Constan-
tinople about the year 100, and who
aimed at uplifting the intellectual and
spiritual conditions of his countrymen,
and at diffusing knowledge of the
old Armenian language and literature.
The colony Of exiles during their so
journ in Venice has printed most of
the classic writings in Armenian lit
erature and translated the works Of
Eusebius, Philo and other writer's.

"keeper's" Explanation as He
Understood 1t.

The New Englander uses the word

and indispensable quantity of brains.
Prof. Burt G. Wilder, the distinguish

that turns on a countryman's mistak-

for the familiar word natural"
A few years after his arrival in
America, Agassiz was one of small
party of Harvard professors who
traversed the White Mountain region
In carriage driven by the country
man. Three of them were vivacious,
restless, and on the lookout for speci-
mems. They would call halt leap
from the vehicle before it stopped,
dash over the fields, and return with
prizes in their boxes, in their hands
and pockets, and even pinned upon
their hats. The fourth, Prof. FELTON,,
the brother-in-law Of Agassiz, sat
quietly In his corner of the carriage
reading favorite Greek author.
When the bewildered driver could
stand it no longer be ELECTED from
FELTON, information that led him to
view the behavior of the others with
compassionate liberation. At the close
of the day he thus conveyed his in

PRECURSOR OF THE PIANO
HarpsIchord, In Arrangement Of Key
board and Strings, ResembIed the
instrument In Use Today.

The harpsichord was stringed mu-
sical instrument in use in the 10Th,
18th and 18th centuries, which in it's
form and in the arrangement of the
keyboard and strings resembled a pi-
ano, but in which the tone was pro-
duced by the plucking or swapping of
the strings by leather or quill points,
which were set in jacks connected by
levers with the keys. In form it usu-
ally resembled modern grand piano
forte, though both square and upright
varieties were also made. The length
Of the keyboard was four to six and
half octaves. The number of sep
arate strings to key varied from
one to four, sometimes including one
tuned an octave above the others; the
latter variety was called a double
harpsichord The tone was weak and
tinkling, and gradation of force was
impossible. Two keybOards were
sometimes combined, one for soft
effects; the other for loud. Numerous
devices, usually connected with the
jacks, were introduced at different
times to secure variety In force, and
especially in quality. These mechan-
isms, which often aimed to simulate
the tone qualities of various orches-
tral instruments, were usually con-
trolled by stopknobs near the key
board. The harpsichord, though es-
sentially different from the pianoforte,
was It's immediate predecessor. Be
fore 1900 it was regularly used in all
dramatic music, especially in accom-
panying recitatives and in orchestral
music. The conductor usually direct
ed from his seat at harpsichord
placed amid the other instruments.

We have received from Columbia

famous Thirtieth Division, and their
relatives and friends are always very
deeply interested In any movement
that concerns this splendid division,
Permanent Establishment,
War Department plans for the Der

eth Division at Camp jackson are
: well under way. This division-the
continuation Of the "Old Hickory"
Division--is to belong to the Caro-
Enas and Tennessee and is to be re-
cruited up to full peace strength
from among the young men Of these
States. 1t is hoped by the authori-
ties that this division will husband
the glorious traditions of the old
ihirtieth, and that the support Of the
people Of it's home States will be as
spontaneous as in the past.
The Forty-eighth Regular Infantry
mas already been designated as of
the Thirtieth Division, and is busy
recruiting to its full strength from
the men Of tho overseas organizations
that are constantly returning to
Camp Jackson for rehabilitation.
These men are just the ones for the
Job. 1t is said, both because of their
splendid record in France and be-
cause nearly all Of them are residents
or the States that are regarded as
the home Of the Thirtieth.
Though not fortunate enough to
nave gone overseas, the 18th lnfan-

dod distinguished service medal for
the efficient work done at that port
in getting men overseas. In Scptem-
bnr, 1918, the regiment became Il
part OF the Twentieth Division at

as TO raising this great sum. But it
WAS raised.
And then came three succeeding
issues o. bonds---cach time the sum
Il little larger. and each time the
total asked being ovcrSubscribcd by
Il better margin. And now
TIN" "Niciory Loan" is with us.
Wha, ar" we going to do with it.?
Just what WAS done with the four
Liberty issues We are going to over
