BOOK MANY CENTURIES OLD
New Testament in Manuscript, Mar.
veiousIy Preserved, Was Brought
to New York From Armenia.

One of the Oldest New Testament
manuscripts in the world, and the old
est, so far as is known, In the United
States, was brought from Europe by
John Hahn, Hungarian A dozen or
more full-page colored illustrations Of
incidents in the life Of Jesus begin the
volume These are followed by two
pages of historical data and several
more comprising calendar.
Little is known of the history of this
ancient Testament. A brief account OF
it's later adventures is given in the,
center of the book, written In modern
Armenian by Jezekiel Arshaguni, who,
in 1895, wrote what he knew Of It's
story. During the reign of Abdul
Hamiam, when the Turks were per-
scouting the Armenian people, pillag-
ing homes demolishing chapels and
carrying away all the books, this vol
ume was saved because it was hidden
in water, doubtless in well, until the
danger had passed. The, book was
equal to the test. The ink stayed fast
and the parchment firm. Only the red
leather cover was loosened from the
canvas back, showing it's wooden foun-
dation and scrap of silk lining.

TlBETAn DEAD NOT BURIED
After SIicing Away the Flesh the
Bones Are Pulverized and Then
Fed to the Vultures.

To bury bodies In the earth Is to
contaminate them, is the Tibetan view,
according to Rev. d. F. McGillicuddy.
pastor of st. Stephens church, Of
Worcester, Mass, who penetrated this
forbidden country in 1906.
Instead Of burying their dead they
slice the flesh from all bodies and feed
it to the birds. After skillfully cut
ting away the flesh they pulverize the
bones and feed them to the vultures.
The temples used by these people
for centuries are still standing. In
front of many of them are stumps of
trees covered with butter, In which
devotees stick their offerings of coins.
Tibet is peOpled by a branch of the
Monaghan race. The 100000 or 3d.
100000 population are mixture Of
Chinese and Tibetans, as the races in
termarried. They believe in both poly
andry and polygamy.
It is the most extensive elevated
country in the world, containing $780,
600 square miles, with an elevation
varying from 5000 to $4,000 feet. Its
climate is principally bleak and cold.
although the summers in the southern
part are mild and pleasant.
The first white man to enter LhaSa
the capital, was Sir Francis Young
husband, who fought his way there In
1904.
Dalai Lama, religious head Of the
Buddhist faith, which is the national
religion, was so overcome by the fact
that infidels had trodden the streets of
the forbidden city, that he fed the
country, and was for many years a
wanderer in northern China.

THE better school movement has TAX
en- up as one item on its program the
retention of efficient teachers in the
schools. This is a matter of vital i'm
portance for all school administrations
to consider. Stability and continuity
in the teaching force give stability and
continuity to the influence Of the school
work both in and out of the class room.
If any institution in community needs
to be intimately associated with the life
of the community, it is the school. But
this intimacy can not be gained by a
faculty of teachers which changes ev-
cry nine months, or Oftener, with ka-
leiposcopic uncertainty as to the COM
plexion of the next teaching staff. The
teacher must live and work long enough
in place to feel an interest in the peo-
pie and activities of the place beyond
that of teaching the class and drawing
the wages. A teacher that is retained
only for year has no chance to live
the life of the community. She or he
feels isolated, stranger among strange
people. 1t is not only the amount of
wages that appeals to the teacher who
is of the right sort, though these should
be sufficient to make the position at

is placed in position in the commun-
ity where his services are recognized
as of high Importance to the welfare of
it, so important, in fact, that ne would
hesitate In leaving it for field that
was new to him. Teachers of that sort
deserve to feel that they are wanted,
and that the community provides for
them the security of permanent posi-
ton. 1t will take some years for an
intelligent superintendent and consci-
entious school board to build up such a
teaching force in our schools; but it is
we'll worth both the time and effort to
attempt it.

EMPLOYED Two Parachutes.

Though the design and operation Of
parachutes have been the subject OF
practical experiments since the eight
eenth century, the American air serv-
ice is the first, it is believed, to test
the action and interactiOn of para
chutes used in pairs, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. In experiments
performed at Mitchell field, Long Is
land, N. z, sergeant strapped one
parachute on his back, as usual, and
a second on his chest. Thus encum-
bered, he was carried, in twO-seater
plane, to height Of approximately
one mile Here he walked out on q
wing, pulled the release of the rear
ward chute, and stepped into space.
The white bag opened nicely, and he
drifted down to within less than 1000
feet. Here he pulled the second re-
lease, and the second parachute open
ed above him without entangling or in
terfering with the first.

The Assembly OF the League of Ma
tions is now having its first sitting.
That Belgian representative would be
given the honor of the first presidency
of the assembly was well understood
beforehand The vice. pre5idencies have
been distributed among number OF
the smaller transformations. 1t is be-
coming evident that the smaller nations
are not going to let England, France.
Italy and Japan have the whole say In
directing the operations of the league,
and hints are already made that impor-
tant paragraphs ia TIE covenant may
be subject to amendments. One of the
first sensations in the meeting was ex-
perienced when Germany announced
that she would not be bound by the
provision of the peace treaty as to who
should become mandatarles OF her for
mer colonies. The German objection
rested on the fact that Germany had
not been asked to become member of
the league. Meanwhile the assembly
has taken steps to create military
power representing the league to act
where disputes between powers need to
be controlled by policing force. While
this is going on several rather disquiet-
ing matters have come to light. One
is the agreement between England,
France and Italy about the slcing up
of Turkey for the purpose of getting
control of oil and coal fields. The de-
feat of General Baron Wrangel in the
Crimea, and the military threat of Boil
shevik Russia against Asia Minor,
Mesopotamia and Persia, involving even
the control of Constantinople, has put
a crimp into the expectations of the big
four, and revolutions in Egypt, India
and north Africa are discussed as pos
sibilities, if the Mohammedan world
should agree to separate the power OF
the Caliphate from that of the power
of the Sultan, To add to all these
troubles that are brewing, the POSSIBLE
ity of war between u. S. and Japan
is freely discussed. The League OF
Nations assembly will have its hands
full if it is going to succeed in straight,
ening all these tangles, and keep the
world from new and disastrous compli-
cations, involving more wars, and worse
wars threatening civilization. That
these things are coming now will en-
able American statesmen to keep then
eyes pealed, and to watch their steps
before they decide upon the course tt
be followed in the matter of joining
the league.

Cooperation of Public in Handling
Christmas Mails Invited.

The timeliness of gifts depends upon
their being received on or before the
Christmas day; early mailing will in
sure this, whereas the practice OF mail
ing parcels late, in the hope that they
will reach their destination on Christ
mas day, is likely to defeat its own OBJ
iect through an unavoidable delay and
to the consequent congestion of the
mails.
Therefore, please mail early, wrap
securely, and direct plainly all parcels.
Parcels weighing 70 pounds may be
sent 300 miles and parcels weighing so
pounds may be sent everywhere within
the border of the United States.
A parcel not exceeding "a inches in
length and girth combined may be sent
by parcel post.
The insuring of parcels is an, impor-
tant feature of the parcel post system,
and all valuable parcels should be IN
sured, particular attention being in
vited to the cent fee for parcels for
which in the event of loss the sender
desires no more than S. 90 indemnity.
The following table will show the fee
charged for insuring parcels:
Covered by cent fee, value up to

crouchiness Destroys Friendship.

Nobody, of course, expects man to
be eternally radiant with cheerfulness
and wreathed in smiles. But people
will not tolerate urbanity one day and
grouchiness the next in perpetual al
formation. People will not tolerate it
because they do not have to. Pleasant
friends who are more reliable in their
manner are not difficult to find. There
is no need of putting up with
Crouch"
Consequently the moody. instead Of
blaming others for their unpopularity
extraordinary, would far better re-
proach themselves. They are the ones
with whom the fault lies, and until
they overcome their moodiness they
may rest assured that solitude and un-
happiness will be their portion. - III.

Parrot a Rralny Bird.

We may question the yeracity Of
some of the parrot stories that are
told by admiring owners, but we cam
not doubt that the parrot is endowed
with remarkable brain power. A good
bird will interpret the moods of those
about it in most uncanny way. A
parrot known to the writer somehow
seems to know instantly when his mis-
tress Is amused, and will join in the
laughter after dinner-table joke
with such spontaneity that any strang-
er might credit him with an accurate
appreciation of the humor Of the mo-
ment.
