Heroes of the Past.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Heroes there ever have been
heroes of the battlefield, heroes of
the field. heroes Of the laboratory.
heroes OF the political world, heroes
of the faith.
Lecky in his History of European
Morals" vividly portrass what men
have endured in the cause of soul
freedom:
i''Among Rthe records of pagan
persecution there are histories
which display perhaps more vividly
than any other both the depth of
cruelty to which human nature may
sink and the heroism of resistance
1t may attain. We read OF
Christians bound in chairs of red
hot iron, while the stencil of their
half-consumed flesh rose in a suffo-
eating cloud to heaven; of others
who were torn to the very bone by
shells or hooks of iron; OF holy
virgins given over to the lusts of
the gladiator or the merciss of the
pander; of 227 converts sent on one
occasion TO the mines. each with
the sinews of one leg severed with
a red-hot iron, and with an. eye
scooped from the socket: of fires so
slow that the victims writhed for
hours in their agonies; of bodies
torn limb from limb. or sprinkled
with burning lead; of mingled salt
and vinegar poured over the flesh
that was bleeding from the rack:
of tortures prolonged and varied
through entire days For. the love
of their divine Master. for the cause
they believed to be true. men, aud
even weak girls. endured these
things without fiinching, when one
word would have freed them from
their suffering. No opinion we may
form of the proceedings of priests
in a later age should impair the
reverence with which we bend be
fore the martyrs tomb"
The following. taken from The
Youths Companion, tells what was
endured IN later age" by men
who loved not their lives unto the
death:
"a company of Americans was
visiting the old prison at The Hague
That place of horror Is now

struments of torture such as were
used in that and similar institu-
tions in the middle ages. The guide
took them through the pestilential
dungeons; he showed them the tor
ture chambers; he pointed out that
the starvation cell was. placed, with
6endish ingenuity. where the odors

court.
He caused them to stand in tn"

chained with a shaven spot upon
their heads, to feel the dropping or.

German Bankruptcy.

THE GERMAN mark, with normal value of
II ~ cents OF American money has dropped
below one cent. An American dollar which be-
fore the would buy just over 4 marks will
now buy more than of them. The Fundamental
cause of this is the printing press. Germany has
been paying her labor, buying and selling carry
ing her domestic business, paying pensions
--ubsdizng industry and transportation and paying
benefits through the operation of printing presses
She has been using this method OF making in
come match expenditures instead OF balancing her
budget by taxation. German wealth has never
paid a tax comparable to that taken BY Great
Britain by France Germany does not take
from land, industry, income, anything in
measure with British or French taxes. She taxes
the poor, but not the rich The rich are still
rrebellious as against the republic and still hope
TO return to conditions of imperial days, when
they ruled and were nearly tax free.

Unique Designs for
The Less Conservative.

"A NEW item in lingerie has made
its appearance namely, the hip
belt, made of double pink schiffon,
which is worn to keep up the uncor-
seted dfigure from too greatly strain
.lng the seams of the new tightly
draped dresses.
ltis astonishing how closely styles
in underwear follow those in dresses.
This is especially true since the
great French dressmaking houses
are giving almost as much prom
inence to lingerie as they are to
outer garments.
A reflection of the craze for pleat-
ing seen in our dresses last summer
is in the new modes of lingerie for
this spring Straight garments on
the order OF the princess slip, always
much worn by French women, are in
