Liberty Can

In early Roman times, only freemen
were permitted to wear caps. When
slave was manumitted, small cap,
usually of red felt, was placed on his
head, and his name was registered in
the. city tribes. Several Roman COM
manders hoisted such caps on spears
to Indicate that all slaves who joined
them should be free; and when Caesar
was murdered, the conspirators
marched forth in body, with a cap
elevated on a spear, in token of lib
erty.
In the French revolution, the lib
erty cap was adopted by the revolu-
tlonists as a badge Of their freedom.

Finds Throw Light on
Tribe of Philistines

Reality and even individuality has
been given to the Philistines, who for
SO many generations have been no
more than name, by some Of Sir
Flinders PetrIe's observations on dis
coveries In Palestine.
It was while searching in the
trenches made by Lord Allenby's
troops In Palestine that the most curl
Gus revelations were made about miss
ing epochs in Biblical history.
First the dlggers found knives, hand
grenades, spoons, and spurious Egyp-
tian antiquities" bought and brought
there by English and Australian SOL
diers. Next the Roman occupation Of
Vespaslan was unearthed, then a city
Of the Greeks, and then pilgrim bot
ties carried when Solomon was king.
Last came the periods Of the Egyp-
tian conquests and weapons of the al
most legendary Philistines, together
with objects, scarabs and Jewels, which
trace the journey of the Israelltes to
the Promised land.
Strangest of all, is that the soldiers
Eho fought In the Armageddon Of the
Twentieth century, should by their
work have enabled the archeologist to
trace records of the people whose
prophets spoke of the Armageddon to
come.

Ancient Builders Idea
of Humor Quite Modern

The builders Of the old churches in
England were not so serious but that
they now and then perpetrated joke,
even in stone. On more than one of
their creations they carved in relief
a scene representing a monk preach
Ing solemnly to flock of geese. The
same humorous spirit is sometimes to
be detected in the domestic archltec-
ture of early times.
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
fordshire and Hertfordshlre formerly
stood an old rambling farmhouse. The
livlng-room was long and low, and on
the center beam that went across the
ceiling was inscribed this legend: "If
you are cold, go to Hertfordshire."
This seemingly inhospltable invita-
tlon was explained by the fact that
one-half Of the room was In one coun-
ty and one-half in the other. The fire.
place was in Hertfordshire.

Lessening Aversion to
m Formal Music Lessons

Chlldren's avension TO olusic lessons
entailing long hours Of practice for
many months, can be overcome by
making them familiar at an early aga
with musical toys, according to FRANC
II. Richardson, NJ. D., In Woman's
Home Companion.
MANY families have found the APP
proach to a real appreciation and love
of music Is made easier by having the
simpler musical instruments around
where they can be picked up and
played casually even before formal
lessons have begun" says Doctor Rich
ardson. "Such simple things as the
fife, fageolet and plccolo; the banjo,
mandolin or even the humble ukulele;
the xylophone or bells will often tempt
not only the child but also the guest
In the home.
'Improvised ensembles prove de-
lightful ways of teaching children
good-fellowship and freeing them from
the embarrassment SO overpowering
in children whose only contact with
strangers has been formal.
MANY a child who would have been
repealed at first by the technical diff
culties Of the violin or piano, has
come happily to these more difficult
musical instruments by way Of their
humber and more easily mastered
brothers In the musical family"

Employment Of Glaze
for characterization Old

Among a race as gifted as the
Chinese, neither the spirit Of inveD-
tiveness, which originates new objects
and processes of manufacture, nor
the love Of adventure which by means
of travel imports them from abroad,
were ever wholly absent, and 1t is
often difficult to prove to which Of
these two agencies any particular
novelty owes its Introduction. How
ever, as regards glaze, Importation
from abroad does seem the most like
ly. For one thing it was very an
Gent possession of the West.
Even before the Pyramids rose out
Of the sands Of the desert, lovely
turquoise glaze had been discovered
by the Egyptian artisans. And twenty
centuries later the dream city of the
Pharoah Animation cleaned like
jewel against a cloudless horizon, the
Intel Of its gates, the walls Of its
palaces, the pillars Of its temples. the
cornices Of Its roofs inlaid with a
fairylike mosaic of multi-colorec
glazes. From Egypt glaze spread over
western Asia into the full pride Of
Babylon, unless invented there in
dependently, which is quite as likely.
While the baked clay of China was
still innocent of all luster, Assyrian
potentates decorated their architec-
ture with lions and griffins, stepping
out majestically in friezes Of richly
colored glazed tiles. This resplend-
ent art was continued by the Persian
king of kings, by the Seleucids and
the Arsacids and beyond into the days

Holstein Cattle Winter
in Luxurious Quarters

Speaking of the winter care given
the famous Holsteln cattle by the
dairymen of Friesland, Holland, the
National Geographic society says:
"Barn and dwelling are under one
roof, which rises high into the sky
in order to provide loft space for the
Immense amount of hay needed as
cattle feed during the long winter.
The whole gives the appearance Of a
one-story cottage pushed low into the
earth by weight Of an immense pointed
roof, which reaches above the tops
of the tall trees lining the roadway.
"a hall separates the living quar-
tiers Of the farmers family from
space set aside for cows, which as
rule is the larger portion Of the house.
Visitors testify that these barns are
spotless and odorless. Each stall is
sanded and has window Of Its own,
inevitably decorated with fresh
white window curtain. Every cow
has a bath daily and many Of their
tails are tied up with ribbon"

Proud Boast Old

The germ of the idea of the sun
never setting on the dominions OF
particular ruler is found in Herodotus,
Book VII, Chapter 8. The boast was
common one with the Spaniards in the
Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
and is frequently alluded to In the lit
eruture of other countries II does not
seem to be recorded who first used the
expression the sun never sets upon the
British empire. John Wilson. who
wrote undcr the pen name Of Chris

l"Ornery" Long Employed
To Express Contempt

"Ornery" and emery" are corrupted
forms Of Ordinary" They are dialect
or colloquial terms meaning insignifi'
cant, low, mean, contemplate, and
they express a higher degree Of CON
tempt and dlsapprobation than "ordi'
nary" does. "Ornary" as contrac-
ton Of ordinary" was common pro-
vinciallsm in England in the time OF
the Stuarts, although 1t is now nearly
obsolete. We find the phrase 'uppon
ornarle time" In the Easthampton rec
Qrds as late as 1870. In Ireland and
the United States this form persists In
the still more corrupted forms or "orn-
cry" and "onery," which we're brought
to the American colonies and perpet'
iuated largely by Irish and Scotch-lrish
Immigrants, who settled In the South
and West. This explains the fact that
"ornery" and "onery" are generally re-
garded as southerlsms or westernisms.

published the following as II southern

Woolley, working at Or Of the Chal'

which we're so very much alike that
he thought they might mean some
thing. So the work of excavation In
that particular spot was halted while
a thin mixture of plaster OF paris
was made and this was poured into
the holes and allowed to set. When
the cast was finally uncovered 1t was
found that they had secured the lines
OF a Sumerian harp which had been
shaped of wood which had long since
decayed and disappeared. The cast
was perfect in all its details and COM

Pacific Mystery

Easter island is called the "Unsolved
Mystery of the Pacific" because of the
scattered presence of hundreds of i'm
mense heads carved out Of stone which
are to be seen, some standing erect
while others are down upon the
ground. Their meaning is only con-
.jectural and no one has ever offered
any explanation which is generally
accepted. Apparently Easter island
was chosen as the graveyard for the
chiefs of large island archipelago
which suddenly disappeared. The thou
sands of slaves who were kept at work
carving out these images were left
without food and fell upon each other
until only few remained. The story
Of all these events was never recorded
and can be read only by inference.

Wisdom of Antoninus

For a man can lose neither the past
nor the future; for how can one take
from him that which is not his? So
remember these two points: First
that each thing is of like form from
everlasting and comes round again in
its cycle and that 1t signifies not
whether man shall look upon the
same things for hundred years or
two hundred. or for an infinity of time
second, that the longest lived and the
shortest lived man, when they come
to die, lose one and the same thing

Canadian Bituminous Sands

In what is known as the McMurray
country in Canada, 300 miles north OF
Edmonton, are to be found extensive
deposits of bituminous sand. The fu-
tare commercial significance of these
deposits is as yet not generally real
lied, 1t adds, although it is possible
that eventually they may prove to be
of real national Importance.
It is thought the bituminous sand In
Canada is in many respects similar to
the oil shale in the United States and
that the development of bituminous
sand should be considered quite as Sc
riously as that of the oil shales. Yield
per ton from the latter will, in some in
stances, be higher than from bitumi-
nous sand, but, from the point Of view
of mining costs and certain other fac
tors, the development of bitumi-
nous sands will probably have advan-
tages over oil shales.

France First Country
to Organize Zouaves

Zouave is the name of a tribe Of
Berbers in Algeria. In 1881 the French
recruited two battalions of Berber SOL
diers, who were uniformed in their ma
tive costume. In about ten years they
were converted into an infantry branch
Of the French army and the uniform
retained. Before the World war there
were four regiments Of zouaves still
in the French army. The first service
that these troops saw outside Algeria
was in the Crimean war. They at
tracted much attention because Of
their uniforms and their fighting quail
tiles, and volunteer military organiza-
lions throughout the world adopted the
uniform, or a modification Of it, and
the drills and tactics. There were
several of these zouave companies in
the Civil war, and they were taken
into the army as organized.
