"Machiavelllan" Is term for po-

one Of his principles that any means.
however lawless or unscrupulous,
might be justihably employed by a
ruler in order to maintain a strong
central government He produced
among other works a treatise on gov
ernment called "The Prince" the prin-
ciples Of which have gained for him
notoriety as wide as the civilized
world.
Briefly, Machlavellrs political doc
trines maintained Justification of the
means by the end. The ruler or prince
was to retain and augment his power; !;
and to do so he might be an adept at
misleading his opponents and getting
rid Of them. The interests Of the state,
represented by the ruler, were held to
be above all laws or virtues, and the
despotism Of the prince was to be
maintained by cunning and unre-
strained by morality.

MOON is NOT DEAD WORLD |
Prove Astronomers Have Long
Held Wrong Idea.

Astronomers cling to the old idea
that the moon Is dead world, desti-
tute alike of air and water. But recent
observations of w. II. Pickering, made
at Vaudeville, Jamaica, go to show that
many changes occur with the alterna-
tion of lunar day and night. Great
snow fields form in the mountain val
leys, and then melt away; fog banks
are seen and, very rarely, drifting
clouds. The loftlest peaks are snow
capped. The moons surface is pitted
with volcanic craters; some of these
measure 100 miles across. Each crater
Is surrounded by n mountain ring 1000
to 10000 feet In height.
According to Pickering, there are
few, If any, such large and continuous
ly active volcanic regions upon the
surface of the earth. But the activity
of the lunar volcanoes is now confined
to the quiet emission Of steam Jets,
like those found In Yellowstone Ma
tional park. Certain variable dark
areas on the moon may be due to vege-
tatlOn.

lights indicates luxury to some folk.
But truly It is not considered in the
best taste to Indulge in such an orgy
Of light. In the dining room the light
should be subdued to certain extent,
preferably the light on the table should
be given by wax tapers, and the side
lights only bright enough to make 1t
possible for servants to get about.
There is a look of coziness about the
dining room that is not too brightly
lighted that the one that Is blaze
Of lights cannot possess.
When you have guests, you should
to some extent consult their wishes
concerning lights. That is. see that
they have a convenient bedside light,
especially II you know they are wake
full, and see that they are seated near
the living room light If they are sew
ing or reading. Again, be sure. If your
guests have headache or eyes that
are not strong, that you arrange the
lights to be agreeable to them.

REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Ovcrwhe elming Proof That Finger.
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
ing Lifetime of Individual.

The finger print is scientific method
of identification. A movement is afOot
in Michigan for statewide registra-
tion system under which every one
would be finger-printed. 1t is also
planned by the government to establish
central bureau Of Identification with
national registration. 1t Is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body Itself, as psychologists tell us
that the tissues of the entire body
change once In about seven years, but
whorls. curves and lines of the
papilla always are renewed in con.
formity with the lines of childhood.
After an attack of scarlet fever the
cuticle peeled off of child's fingers
AS an experiment prints We're made.
They We're found to be just the same
as those made before the sickness. A
man chanced 10 burn his fingers. They
were badly bllstered. After the blisters
broke and the outer layer of the skin
came off he made finger-prints each
day until the fingers were completely
healed. The ridges grew gradually
until they made the same sharp prints
that they had made before the acct
dent.

JUDITH

JUDITH is sometimes confused with
} Edith because of its similarity of
ending, but this Is an erroneous con-
tention. 1t really had Its origin in
the difficult northern name of Gyda or
Gytha, which, because 1t sounds like
9th, the contraction of Eadgyth, Is
believed to have some connection. But
Judith is purely northern, having be-
longed to the proud damsel of Horda-
land, who refused to marry Harald
Harfagre unless he was sole king Of
all Norway. Later, 1t was given to
the semi-Danish ladies Of Earl God
wins family and melted into Gjutha.
Finally Jutta appears as a contraction
for Juditha.
Judith, according to the Old Testa-
ment, was the heroine Of the book Of
the same name in the Apocrypha. She
was a beautiful Jewess of Bethulia,
who, when her town was besieged by
Holoferness, the general of Nebuchad-
nezzar, attended him in his tent and
when he was in his cups killed him
and cut off his head, whereupon her
townsmen fell upon the Assyrlans and
defeated them with great slaughter.
Judith has always been a favorite
Biblical name.
Perhaps because Of this courageous
deed of the Biblical heroine. Judith
came to men praised" Judithe and
