Ancient Weapons and
Armor on Exhibition

Recent accesslons of the Metropoll-
tan Museum of Art range from huge
suit of armor to whlmslcally decorated
and finely spun Swedish glassware.
In the armor department the last
few months have seen added to the
collection swords, lances, pistols and
mall Among the swords Is an ex-
ample of a calendar blade, etched with
the names Of the saints Of each day
of the year and the months, separated
by their zodlacal signs. 1t is said to
have proved very useful to an officer
of 1890, who, In moments of danger,
wished to be able to select quickly the
proper saint upon whom he might
call.
There is also an italian knightly
sword of 145O-1475, with a tongue
shaped blade, blackened hilt and large
disk-shaped pommel, one side of which
shows Saint George and the other the
letters 81. II. s."
The firearms include very long
barreled pistol Of about 1900,
"Wheelock Dag" of the same date, an
Eighteenth century pistol from Naples
and a large wall gun of the Seven
teenth century.
What is thought to be the second
largest suit Of armor In the world is
also on exhibition. SO big was the
doughty warrior for whom 1t was
made that no one around the museum
could be found strong or big enough
to wear It.

Tradition Bars JetUs'
Union With GenfiIes

The American Hebrew says that the
tradition against intermarriage among
Jews is traced back to Abraham, who
ordered his estate manager, Eliezer,
to obtain a wife for Isaac from among
his, Abraham's, own people, In Aramea.
1t should be added that this is only
a tradition. 1t became a practice
among Jews at the time they returned
from the Babylonlan exile In the
Fifth century before the common era.
1ntermarriage, however, has taken
place among Jews at all times The
reason why Jews have chung to the
tradition Of Abraham and the enact
ment Of Ezra lies In the psychology OF
group consciousness, especially as this
is welded by the religious ideal. The
belief Of the Jews that they are
people chosen by God to disseminate
knowledge of Him and His moral and
ethical will among the peoples Of the
world Is also great factor motlvated
by the desire to hold to Its mission in
the world and, probably, also by the
fear lest intermarrlage should weaken
the force for carrying out Its mission.

History in Song

In early times many stories Of war
and love we're worked into songs by
groups of people. Instead of being
ascribed to a certain poet these tales
in rhyme Of true events were the
work Of many unknown authors.
These poems we're set to music, In
which was reflected the feeling of the
people. Each race had its singers
and these songs were the primitive
means Of expressing passions, beliefs
and Ideas.
As time passed many of these songs
were lost and only few are now pre-
served, for not many of them were
written, but were passed down from
generation to generation orally. These
narratory songs were numerous In the
time Of Charlemagne. who held this
ilngual history of the people In high
esteem and had the songs collected In
all the countries under his dominion.
Unfortunately this collection has been
lost-Kansas City Star.

Sea Bird Gets Seasick

The albatross lives on the sea but

Of ship 1t invariably becomes sea-
sick. Sailors are superstitious about
killing or catching "the bird which
makes the wind blow" and 1t Is rather
rare that they are encountered at
close range, but on a recent scientific
expedition the fears Of the members
of the crew were brushed aside and
several OF the birds were caught on
a hook balted with a piece of pork
and thrown overheard. Some Of the
distinguished scientists aboard even

the flesh which had been cooked in
the shape Of a stew and they agreed
that the meat was delicious.
