MODERN DEBT TO THE PAST
Present-Day Civilization Apt to Forget
Whence Came Much of Art and
Literature.

So accustomed are we to our own
art and civilization that we scarcely
realize how varied are the sources
from which they sprang- We ac-
knowledge a great debt to Rome. But
do we often remember that our alpha
bet goes back at least TO the Egyp-
tians? Do we appreciate the meaning
of the fact that nearly half the words
we use have a Latin derivation? That
we owe our numerals to the Arabs?
In our literature, what is the
debt of the EliZabethans to TheOcri-
tuS, who first sang that pastoral they
in turn learned from the Italians?
Through all our lives run strange
threads of the past, but we are too ac-
cuStomed to them even to recognize
them as strange and thrilling, too.
Often influences work in the most un-
expected ways. To take a recent and
unexpected example, one may quote
the color prints, especially those of
UtomarO, HOkuSai, and HirOShige, art
lists of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth
centuries. who have been a deep influ-
ence upon the use of line and the COM
position of the modern European post
e~ school. The simplificatiOn of lines
till only those essential to the central
idea remain, was a heritage to the
school of color prints from earlier art

Reached His Destination.

The steep stairway called Break
neck Steps," connecting the upper
and lower towns of Quebec, has been
the scene, according to old inhabitants,
of incidents both tragic and Iudicrous.
One approaches this stairway (even
with its Twentieth century improve
ments) in tight-lipped apprehension,
writes n recent visitor to the French
Canadian city. But in the old days,
at the height of its dangerous career,
to reach the bottom without accident
was an achievement.
The tale is still being told of the
gentleman who tripped on the sec
ond step, fell, but slid to safety,
bearing on his back a lady, who at
his tripping had also tripped and
in her plight clutched the gentleman's
knOtted tippet. At the bottom of the
stairway the gentleman politely DOTTED
his hat and said:
Pardon me, madame, but this is
as far as I go!'

One Method of ehost-Baiting.

The London Daily Express says
that the bishop of London may like
this, or he may not. Anyway, it is
true: A correspondent tells me that
the other day he was in a part Of
Kent where there is an interesting
matched cottage reputed to be 600
years old, and haunted. The tenants
told him that on the first night of
their occupation their dogs showed
the greatest reluctance to enter the
bedroom. Ultimately one was per-
suaded to sleep there, and in the mid
die of the night he awoke and grOwled
furiOusly. Still growing, he ad-
vanced with bristling hackles toward
an old JacObean cupboard in the cor
ner. Obviously there was something
uncanny about. what did you do?'
asked my friend at this point.
Il stuck the bishop of London's
picture on the door," said the mis-
tress OF the house, triumphantly.
''That did it."

Odd Name for LEGISLATURE.

The first legislature of the state Of
California is known in the political
history Of that commonwealth as "the
Legislature of a Thousand Drinks -
There are various theories as to how
it earned this sObriquet, the most pop
ular being that it is simply an allusiOn
to the well-knOwn tendency exhibited
by the early CalifOrnians to find in
the goblet everything from mode Of
entertaining potential constituents to
a balm for the defeated candidate.
But the term probably originated,
not from this far-flung custom, but
from a man named Green, who con-
Quoted Il saloon near the state house
in San Jose, where the body met.
When the legislature adjourned it was
his custom to meet the lawmakers at
the door and call out, "COme on, boys,
