The Sandwich Arnctizsr.

The long-established European Gus
tom of taking an appetizer before din
ner. in the form of a wafer-like sand
witch and a light beverage, has many
points in its favor. The ''sideboard."
as it is called. can be most ~tastefully
served on a d%aintily appointed tray.
When a meal begins with a hot soup
or a chilled fruit, the gathering for
the "~sideboard" is the most satisfac-
tory way for the housewife to lie sure
that all the family are ready to take
their places at the table. The sand
witches are made of very thin slices
of buttered bread. Serve these with
a glass of iced grape juice.

aIrds and Cyclones.

One naturalist has expressed the
opinion that birds habitually make use
OF storms In travelling from one part
of their range TO another. He points
out that II a bird cannot find shelter,
1t u be more comfortable on the
wing than on the ground during a
storm, because In the iercest gales
the air, as a mass, is at rest; that Is,
the bird lie In a moving, supporting
medium, like a swimmer in a strongly.
flowing river.

This phrase signifies wholly, or to-
the utmost degree. The expression Is
taken from a mathematical formula,
where n stands for any number. "Cut
to the nth, plus one" is another form
of the phrase, n plus l signifying
more than any number.

More Than $50, 900 Latin
Pupils in u. S. Schools.

BosroN, July 3.-Teaching of the
classics has increased rather thar
diminished until larger proportion of
the population is undoubtedly being
brought into some contact with these
studies than ever before, said Prof.
Alexander Inglis OF Harvard University
In addressing the annual convention OF
the American Classical League to-day.
Every year more than half million
pupils are engaged in the study of Latin
in the secondary schools of the United
States" he asserted.
This evolution means" he continued.
'in the first place opportunity for widen
ing the sphere OF classical influence. In
the second place it means that instruc-
ton In the classics must be adjusted tc
fundamental changes which have oc-
CURED in the character Of the secondary
school population. Two or three de-
cades ago the pupils attending the
secondary schools were OF some what
superior intelligence and FOR the most
part came from homes where academic
IDEALS prevailed.
Now the secondary schoo. enrolls
pupils with widely varying capacities,
interests and needs. coming from homes
which represent all conditions Of life
and all degrees of culture ana looking
forward to widely varying destlnies in
life"

Standard Oil Man Acquires
Famous Daniel Copy and
It's Casket.

The famous Daniel copy of the first
primus inter pares copy, bought by the
Rosenbach company Of this city on
May 16 at the sale of the library OF
the late Baroness Burdett-Coutts at
Henry c. Folger president of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New York.
Included in the purchase is the casket
made to contain the volume. This ex-
ceedingly precious part OF the treasure
is associated with bit of near tragedy.
1t was given to the then Miss Coutts by
Queen Victoria in 1866 as an expression
Of appreciation that Miss Coutts's pur-
chase of the folio had saved the treasure
for England. 1t is made from the wood
Of Herne's oak in Windsor Forest.
When this folio sold to Miss Coutts
in 1864 for f712 rs. it was an event in
the book world and was record price
at the time for a folio of this kind.
The sale was mucn discussed In the
press on both sides Of the Atlantic and
the prophecy was made that 1t would
sell some time for ten times that sum-
The present sale exceeds the optimism
Of the prophets. leaving a margin Of
E1,479.
During the years that have intervened
since the Daniel sale was held in 1864
the folio has at no time been forgotten
by followers of the rare book market
and the death of the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts Immediately revived the interest
in the book which had for so long
rested in her library. When 1t finally
sold at auction for es600 the price was
accepted by book men as a fair valua-
tion, an attitude quite in contrast to
the previous sale some sixty years be-
fore when it had sold for tenth OF
that sum.
This last purchase of Mr.. Folger's
adds another treasure to his already
valuable Shakespeare collection. Sew
eral years ago he paid to the Rosen-
bach Company 100000 for a unique coll
lection of Shakespeare's plays pub
lished by Thomas Pavier in 1919. This
collection is four years older than the
first folio The value of this rare. edi-
ton is now placed at S150,o00
