Out of Place

Booker Washington loved to tell this
story: "a poor old nanny went into
an elegant church. The service ap-
pealed to her religious sensibilities.
and she began to shout. Quickly the
sexton was at her side to restrain her.
She explained that she must shout,
'kas dun got religion But said the
sexton. don't you know this is no
place to get religioni"

A CORRECTION

Through an error the Journal last
week stated that the stranger who
died of spotted fever was guest OF
the Colonial Hotel. The statement
should have read the Palace Rooms
instead of the Colonial Hotel.

Of the Pope's Creek railroad line from
Bowie to the POTOMAC gave the
Charles nountians d hew Outlook.

HINDU IDEA OF SEVEN SEAS"
Writer in Eoston Herald Shows That
Expression Is Older Than the
English Language,

The question as to the origin and
meaning Of the term "The Seven Seas
having been raised in this column, |
ain surprised, says a writer In the
Boston Herald, that as yet no one has
called attention to the fact that the
expression Is far older than the Eng
liSh language, antelatlng oven the
science of geography as we under
stand it. In prehistoric Hindu thought
our world consists as To It's solid parts
of seven cncentric, cDntinert,l Dvl-
pas, whose names are Jambu, P!aksha.
Salmali, KuSa, Krauncha, Saka and
Pu*h.:ara. According to the sacred
F!Shnu Purana: They are surrounded
severally By seven greet seas-the sea
OF salt water Navala}, Of sugar-cane
juice Qkshu), Of wine (Sura), Of clari-
ted butter (Sarpis), OF curds (DadhD.
OF milk Ougdha), and OF fresh water
(Jala). Jambu-dvipa Is the center of
all these. and In the copies Of this is
the golden mountain Meru." Jambu
ls the dvfpa occupied BY human be-
inSs. Meru the indescribably glorious
forth polar mountain By which the
portal to the heaven or heavens Ia at.
tainable.
In oriental literature therefore, the
expression "the seven seaS' has no ref.
erence to the bodies Of water named
seas by our geographeFs, but is an In
teresting survival Of the geocentric
world view which we Of the western
nations have lost, but which all ortho-
dox Brahmins and Buddhists still hold
sacred and true, Its recent appear
ance IN occidental literature Is doubt
less more due to K1pling than to any
other writer.

FRUGALITY DECREED BY LAW
Early French Monarch Must Have
Been Unpopular with the Fair
Sex In HIs pominlons, .,.~

In the reign Of Philip the Fair of
France G294) an economy wave
spread throughout the country, This
movement was largely Influenced by
the extravaganza Of the higherups as
well as the mounting costs of living,
which seemed to embarrass the poor
folk In those days as much as 1t does
at the present time.
In order to curb this extravaganza
StNtute was passed during Philips
reign which prohibited common citi-
zens from wearing furs, precious stones
or gold. This privilege was bestowed
only upon those who could afford It.,
such as dukes, counts and barons,
whose annual income amounted to
1900 livres a year. At the same time.
ladies Of this rank were restricted to
one single gown each year.
Knights whose incomes exceeded
5000 livres per annum were permit
ted to have more than two suits each
year either by gift or purchase. If
his income was less than this he would
be compelled to appear before the
magistrate and explain his extrava-
gance. rr

When Hannibal was about to be at
tackled by King Eumenes Of Pergamus
at sea, that crafty person decided that
in fair fight the king would win.
The enemy had more ships and more
men, and Hannibal and all his follow
ers would be ut the bottom Of the sea
If any attempt were made by him to
engage the vessels Of the king as in
dividual units. Hannibal therefore
gave out word that all his ships were
to join in an attack on the ship car
rying the king, on the theory that with
out leader tho enemy would soon
be demorali2ed To find out what
ship the king was on he sent a mes
senger just before the battle with
tablet to the enemys fleet. The mes
| senger was directed to the ship bear
ing Eumenes, and all of Hannibaps
! feet had merely to watch the little
! boat to identity the kings vessel
When the battle began FannihaIs
boat rushed to the side Of IUmenes'
| ship, and the formers sailors began
| to hurl. great earthenWare pots Into
the kings boat. The defenders of the
ship ut first laughed at this queer
method Of warfare, but their laughter
promptly changed to howls of terror
when it was discovered that the pots
were filed with poisonous snakes OF
the most deadly variety. The ship
turned and fed for shore, its decks
alive with the Kissing, gliding snakes
The other ships also treated to snake
bombs followed suit, and Hannlba
was the victor.
