SABBATH DAY" NOT SUNDAY
Modern Writers Display an Amazing
Careessness in Their Misuse
of the Words.

In English there Is not a more def
mite word than sabbath, yet it is used
with an amazing carelessness as o
synonym for Sunday. The writers and
translators of the New Testament use
sabbath correctly, says writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle.
1t Is always Hebrew and in no In
stance Is 1t associated with the New
Testament dlspensation-now univer-
sally known as Christianity. Indeed
the apostles were severely rebuked by
the Jews for breaking the sabbath.
Christians cannot break the sabbath,
for they do not have it to break.
Sabbath and Sunday are observed
on separate days, but this is not nee
essary, as astronomy shows that the
identity of days from year to year is
impossible; since the year and day
are incommensurable. The leap years
show that any given date varies a
day; even this does not correct the
dates, as other corrections-the CEN
turial leap years-become necessary.
There is still deeper reason for dis
carding the severity Of the sabbath.
namely, our seven-day week Is I'M

FIRST BLUE LAW" EXPONENT
Emperor Constantine Laid Down
Strict Rules for the Guidance
of His Subject Peoples.

Constantine, the great Roman en-
peror, who ruled in 321 A. D., was the
first ruler in Europe to impose blue
laws upon the people. Constantine
was highly religious, and he demand
ed strict observance of the Sabbath
throughout his vast empire.
He decreed that Judges, inhabit-
ants and artificers" must rest on the
Sabbath. He excepted husbandmen
from this order, however, since "sow-
ing was a necessity and could not be
done on any other day" Slaves could
not be compelled work on this day,
by the emperor's decree. Should mas
ters be caught in the act of forcing
their slaves to labor, a heavy fine and
perhaps a Jail sentence would be irl-
posed. Children were emancipated
from labor on the Sabbath. Constan-
tine also ordered his vast armies
wherever they might be to devote this
day to prayer. At the same time he
set aside Friday as a day in which
prayer was required of all the people.
Later he extended his order to include
Saturday as a day when the wheels of
Roman industry should remain still.

Religion in Everyday Life.

The widespread impression that re-
ligion is a thing of life apart and not
an essential part of profitable life is
at the bottom of all our social prob
lens. Were the people taught, not
merely preached to on Sundays, but
taught In school from infancy to old
age, that to deal justly, to be kind
and generous, and to revere the pow
ers above earthly powers, our social
affairs would soon assume, or approx
innate, the conditions contemplated by
the Master. In these more enlight-
ened times men want to know the
value of religion as a personal asset
in life rather than a promised assur-
ance of peace and comfort after
death. An occasional sermon on the
value of religion as a personal asset
in social and business life would be
helpful to many tOilers.-Erasmus
Wilson.

How Old Armor Was Made.

Ancient armor cost money. COM
plete iron suit of exclusive design
might "stick" the purchaser for as
much as $1,000, which was a great
sum in those days. Baronial gentle
men, however, had their own profess
sional armorers to turn out such
metal garments. The common soldiers
went to battle with nothing better to
protect them than leather jenkins and
steel caps. Recently samples were
taken from a dozen of ancient pieces
and put through chemical and micro
scopical examination by experts in or
der to find out something about how
the stuff was made. 1t was found
that all the pieces thus tested were
made from very pure wrought. iron,
converted into steel by the old "cemen-
tation" process. The original iron
was produced much like our modern
wrought iron. It was carbonized
hammered into sheets and the sheets
welded together. The whole was
then hammered into Shape while heat
ed and plunged into water, thus pro-
ducing the final hardening.

The Price That Is Set.

The gods have set price upon
every real and noble pleasure. If you
would gain the favor of the Deity
you must be at the pains of worship
ing Him; if you would be beloved by
your friends you must study to oblige
them; if you would be honored by any
city you must be of service to it; and
if you would be admired by all Greece,
on account of your probity and valor,
you must exert yourself to do her
some eminent service. If you would
render your fields fruitful and fill your
arms with grain, you must labor to
cultivate the soil accordingly. Would
you grow rich by your herds, a prop
er care must be taken of them; would
you extend your dOminions by arms
and be rendered capable of setting at
liberty your captive friends and bring
ing your enemies to subsection, you
must not only learn of those that are
experienced in the art of war, but eX
ercise yourself also in the practice of
military affairs; and if you would eX
eel in the strength of your body you
must keep your body in due subiec
ton to your mind and exercise it with
labor and pains.-From the "Memora-
bilia of Socrates"

COVERED HEADS IN CHURCH
Before the Year 1861 Men Did Not
Remove Their Hats During
Religious Services.

About 1861 an agitation commenced
to have men remove their hats in
church-Pepys makes gentle fun of it.
The custom was first to remove the
hat to cover the eyes in prayer, and
later it was taken off altogether.
The introduction of the wig helped
the custom-for it proved difficult to
keep ones hat on over tousled
mass of false curls. This also led to
large hats with plumes going out OF
style.
Then, instead Of wearing hats in
doors, men went to the other extreme,
and often carried them in their hands
when out of doors. The Puritans In
England continued to wear their
broad-brimmed hats, however, indoors
and out.
Mems hats and clothing were
changed with the French Revolution;
wigs went out, and then with the rise
of Napoleon, dress became military
in STYLE In 1915, during the Restora-
ton period, arose the "stovepipe hat"
and breeches, at the same time be-
gan to be worn to the ankle.

RIDE ON SUNBEAM EXPRESS
Journey That Would Be Remarkable
for Speed and for Wonders
Seen Along the Way.

Emile Belot, the French astronomer,
suggests that, if one were able to
straddle a light ray (Which travels
10000 miles a secOnd) and thus voy-
age through space, observations along
the route would be exceedingly inter-
esting.
1t would take only a little more
than a second to reach the moon and
in 4 minutes and 20 seconds one would
arrive at the planet Mars. One would
get as far as Jupiter in 35 minutes,
to Saturn in 70 minutes, to Uranus in
2R hours and to Neptune in 4 hours.
On the way one would come across
a great many comets without tails
nebulous bodies of spherical shape
which are rarely seen from the earth.
1t would take two years to get out
side the sphere of the suns attraction,
and by that time our orb of day
would look like nothing more import
ant than a big star.
The star nearest to US, Alpha Cen
tauri, would meanwhile be looming up,
and the wayfarer through space might
expect to arrive there In a little more
than four years. By this time he
would have journeyed 24,000000,000
miles. !.-.t--,-......

WHERE BUNGLER DOES HARM
Always Makes Mess of His Own Life
and Too Frequently the Lives
of Others.

Bunglers are frequently takers
above their ability to perform. To be
sure they want to be rated we'll among
their friends and frequently go to the
limit in telling others what they are
going to do That's how George got
into the hospital. It seems George
and another colored chap did the gar
dening on certain mans estate in
the Middle West. One morning George
didn't turn up. The master went to

cause her naggin', and yisttidy she
done hear him at it. OATS ALL" And
how many there are like him. They
are gong to turn the world upside
down until they meet face to face with
the facts.
After the bunglers get in their work
its impossible for anyone else to make
a good job of it. They take perfectly
good regulations and leave them pretty
poor examples of what is good. No
wood butcher ever made a bigger mess
of good lumber than has many bun
gler made of other peoples lives. And
these artists even bungle up their own
lives. They get their heads full of no.
lions that lead to folly. Like guns,
they go off half-cocked and the dam

of the facts, they frequently make, as

act according to what you expect of
such creatures. Every effort added
seems to add to the confusion.-Grit.

merely by looking at his door. Ac-

tablet has the name and the number of
the house on it, and on another tablet
is the name Of the responsible house.

Sometimes, though rarely, the names
of other inmates are placed over the
door, but there is no police regulation
that requires it, except in the case of
boarding houses, which have to place
their boarders' names outside for all
to see. A person fortunate enough to
possess telephone always has the
number proudly displayed over his en-
trance. Near it you will often see a
quaint enameled or tin disk. That is
the fire insurance mark. Every fire
insurance company has its own special

There are always several small
pieces Of paper pasted over the door,
placed there by the police. One is to
certify that the periodical oshoji, or
great cleaning, has taken place. An
other paper tells us, perhaps, that the
sanitary conditions are satisfactory.
What others stand for is known only
to the police themselves; that they
give secret information about the in
mates is certain.
Formerly it was the rue that, if
there was a well upon the premises,
the fact had to be proclaimed by a
