Anoka: About four months ago,
Rev. D. F. MacCarthy, pastor of the
Church of st. Stephen here, began a
course of lectures on religious sub
jects. The object was to offer further
instruction to Catholic men and wom-

Catholics who might desire to attend.
| The lectures are given once week
in the Knights of Columbus hall. The
attendance has been most gratifying,
as many as hundred persons being
present at the instructions, while all
manifested deep interest in the diff.
! ferent subjects. Questions asked by
the audience at the end of the period

An inscription in the cathedral OF
ST. Lawrence contains the traditional
account Of Genoa's foundation by
Janus the first king Of Italy, and de-
scended from the Giants" adding that
he was "great-grandson Of Noah," and
that he founded the city lin the time
of Abraham" AS matter Of fact. its
name is derived not from Janus" but
from the Latin 'genu" ("knee"), owing
to the shape Of the coast, but its an
tiquity was conclusively proved in
1898 by the discovery of ancient
vases Of the Fifth century before
Christ, which. If not used by the con-
temporaries of Abraham, were at least
of the same age as the Persian wars In
Greece and the early republic In Rome.

OLD IDEA IN UNIVERSITIES
Student Bodies, FraternaIIy Linked,
Had Their Beginnings in the
Fifteenth Century.

University life today en1bodies many
ancient practices in slightly modified
form. College fraternities really date
back to the Fifteenth century, when
universities were few in number and
students were attracted to them from
many lands. The student body nat.
urally gathered into groups according
to nationalities, and these groups were
known as nations" Later came the
organization of the student corps in
German universities. In some Ameri-
can universities today there are ma
lion societies. as the Philippine, Chi
nese, Japanese and Cuban, represent
ing the nations, and the Southerners.
Southwesterners, Pacific coast and
others representing sections and states
Of the Union.
Poor students of the Fifteenth cen
fury drifted from one university to
another, supporting themselves by
singing, begging, stealing and, occa-
sionally, working.
The freshmen had a rather sorry
time In the German universities they
were termed "Schutzen," and were
compelled to perform all sorts OF
mental offices for the upper class men,
who were termed "Bacchanten," and
were often worthy of that title. From
this practice developed the system Of
tagging" in the English grammar
schools. That practice traces back
even to the academic schools of Ath,
ems The freshmen, on admission to
university, were put through an In
itiation ordeal which was the origin
Of the present-day haZing.

ORIGIN OF DRINKING PLEDGE
Custom Said to Have Originated as
the Time Of the Danish Inva-
sion Of England.

In work entitled observations on
the Popular Antiquities Of Great Brit
ain: Chiefly Illustrating the Origin Of
Our Vulgar and Provincial Customs,
Ceremonies, and Superstitions," by
John Brand, M. A.. fellow and secre-
tary of the Society Of AntiQuaries Of
London, those curious about drinking
customs could find much entertain
ment. Under the head of "Pledgng''
it gives the origin Of that custom.
The word pledge is most probably
derived from the French pledge, a
surety or gage. Some deduce the ex-
preston I'll pledge you' in drinking,
from the time when the Danes bore
sway in the island. 1t is said to have
been common with these ferocious
people to stab a native in the act of
drinking, with a knife or dagger
thereupon people would not drink in
company, unless some one present
would be their pledge or surety that
they should receive no hurt whilst
they were in their draught.
DR.. Henry's History Of Great Brit.
ain" says:
IL an Englishman presumed to
drink In the presence Of a Dane, with
out his express permission, It was
esteemed so great a mark Of disre-
spect, that nothing but instant death
could expiate. Nay, the English were
SO inundated that they would not
venture to drink even when they were
Invited, until the Danes had pledged
their honor for their safety"

DATES BACK TO STONE AGE
English Industry, stl Carried On
Estimated to Be Nine Thou
sand Years Old.

While science and invention have
plotted out many of the old and time
honored industries in the country,
some still exist which not only date
back centuries, but succeed in hold
ing their own against their modern
rivals. remarks London Tit-Bits.
Perhaps the oldest and yet least
known surviving industry is carried
on in Brandon in East Anglia. Long
wears ago the dwellers in the Stone
and Neolithic ages discovered that
the ground in this district was full OF
fints, which they proceeded to un-
earth and fashion into polished tools
and weapons.
That was at least 1900 years ago.
Today the industry still iourlshes,
and it Is believed that the Brandon
'iint-knappers" are the direct de-
scendants of those oldtime workers.
In their work they use curiously
shaped iron picks, closely resembling
RENDERS horns, which, as matter
of fact, were the tools used by the
Stone age workers.
The flint is found In large blocks
which are left to dry and then bro
ken into pieces six inches square
| These, in turn, are shaped with ham
| mers and then trimmed. Few flint
| knappers live to be old men, for the
| particles Of the material that are
| thrown off enter the lungs and bring
| on consumption.

@MissIno Link" Still Missing.

/ think every palaeontologist Of the
world now admits that not a single
missing link has been discovered be-
low man, and that we know even less
concerning the origin of man than we
thought we did formerly. The
puzzle Of origin again harks back to
where it stood when Darwin began to
investigate. His theory and its sue
ce@sors hang on the clothesline,
thoroughly aired and Tapping in the
breezes. Parallel evolution being a
fact, all Of us can accept 1t, even the
layman and the orthodox clergyman.
All can readily admit, for instance,
that every human being has % bones
in his Uranium, identical with those
of reptilia and amphibla. Beyond that
fact, no one need admit or deny origin,
but merely stand pat or pick out his
own ancestor. All past theories Of
descent having been abandoned for
want Of connecting links, we find our
selves just where Agassiz left mat
tiers. with only his doctrine Of null
tiple origin with which to tie.--W.

Chinaae Bird [ overs

Birds play an important part in the
domestic life of the Chinese. Besides
using their flesh, eggs, and even their
nests as food, they keep great many
as pets. Indeed their fondness for
birds is one Of the most pleasant fea-
lures Of their national character.
Birds furnish them with much amuse-
msnt. Some, like the pelican and cor
moraat, they teach to fish for them.
Several kinds Of bird pets are taught
to catch seeds thrown into the air
after jumping from perches held in
the hand. Except in winter one can
always see people going into the open
country early In the morning with
their pets to catch grasshoppers for
them and to teach their pets new

CONSTANT FIGHT ON CRABS
Destruotveness OF the Crust aceans
Ia the West Indies Is Something
Almost Beyond Belief.

The fisherman of Japan has su-
preme contempt for the gigantic crab
Of his coast, which has nippers ten
feet In length, and when moving along
the bottom of the sea with its claws
spread out covers an area of u feet
or 30.
The destructiveness Of certain spe-
cies Of crab in the West Indies Is
remarkable, observes an exchange.
They are great borrowers and in To-
ca1ities where they are plentiful-and
they multiply with the rapidity Of the
rodent-nothing is safe from them
They will eat the eggs on which a
hen Is sitting, and just as readily the
leaves Of Seeding coconut trees. They
effect in the West Indies practically
the same degree Of destruction on the
young coconuts as the sepoy crab does
In the East Indies. In each instance
some to II per cent of the seedlings
have to be replaced if they are plant
ed In the newly cleared ground from
which the crabs have not been thor
oughly cleared out.
