Traced to Crusader.

The sword salute originated In the
time Of the Crusaders when the hilt
Of the sword was made in the form
of cross. Every Crusader kissed the
cross as seal of his purpose and
faith and swore BY the hilt Of the
sword, raising 1t to his lips for that
purpose. Another custom passed down
to the ages from the Crusaders, and
one that has been a custom in all
Christian navies since then, is that
Of placing an officers cap and sword
on his coffin during burial services.

Gypsy Patteran

What is patteran? It is usually
composed Of two small sticks, seldom
longer than six inches apiece, and
placed crosswise one on top Of the
other. The open triangles which these
sticks form tell the tale which caravan
will leave camp or pass a cross roads,
without leaving patteran behind.
This secret language of the road de-
veloped during thousands of years. No
white man was ever able to read IT,

Our national print collection had its
inception In an appropriation act eff
fective July /, 1897, at which time the
Library of Congress took possession of
its handsome new building. Its nucleus
was the Marsh collection of engravings,
purchased many years earlier by the
Smithsonian Institution; collection of
portraits by ST. Memin and vast
amount of material of very questionable
valiie derived through operation Of the
copyright law. but neither assorted nor
classified. Within IL years OF its In
ception, during which time and for
some years later the late Alfred j. Par
sons was chief OF the division of prints,
this collection grew to over 100000
prints and photographs. many Of which
were of real value, in addition to which
there had been placed on deposit sew
eral notable private collections upon
which the division could draw for exhi-
bition purposes. From chaos had come
order; from mass Of unavailable ma
t.rial much that was Of interest had
been secured. and from a mere process
of acquisition a policy of service had
been established-all this and much
more to the credit Of Mr.. Parsons.
In 1898 great impetus was given to
the development of this national print
collection by the gift of the Gardiner
Greene Hubbard collection of engravings
and etchings, collection made with
Judgment and delight by born print
collector. This collection comprises near
~ 1900 prints and is especially rich In
the works ofRembrandt and Durer.i The
next important gift was that Of the late
Crosby S. Noyes, for many years editor
OF The Evening Star--a valuable COL
lection OF original drawings and Illus
trated books by celebrated japanese
artists which has, it is said, through its
exhibition been of great service to the
public as we'll as to students and COM
noisseurs. A third important gift was
the George Lathrop Bradley collection,
comprising an uncommonly fine group
Of Turner's. These gifts attracted at
uention not only in this country but
abroad. and led to the presentation of
collections by the French government,
by the photographic du Louvre, the
German government, the japanese gov
eminent and the Italian government.
The collection has not been exclu-
sively built up by gift or chance. Pur-
chaSeS have been made from time to
time as means permitted, and though
these means have been restricted they
have not been negligible. Included in
the purchases is the Whitaker collection
of 1900 Autographs No notable pur-
chaSes have been recorded. however, in
comparatively recent years.
Meanwhile, our sEat'"',al print collec-
