Belief in Evil Spirits
Common to All Peoples

There are many explanations as
to where and when the story of the
Devil or Satan originated, that is,
when this parsonage first came upon
the earth and who or what creed first
brought him here?
The belief in evil spirits has been
found in practically all religions and
among all peoples from the earliest
times, and how the idea has been
modified from time to time may be
gathered by reference to cyclopedla
articles on the subject, to articles in
Bible cyolopedias, dictionaries Of re-
llglous knowledge, Catholic Cyclope-
diA, Jewish Cyclepedia, etc. The
word Satan" signifies ian enemy"
and the word Devil" signifies "a
slanderer." The International Ency-
clopedia says in part: I'm later
Jewish and Christian belief, mighty
spirit Of evil who has during unknown
ages ruled over a kingdom of evil
spirits and is In constant and rest
iesSly active opposition to God" The
writer Of that article states that the
Hebrews lSnew little about such evil
spirits until they came In contact with
the religions Of Babylonia and Persia
during their captivity in Babylonia.
These ideas were developed by the
Jews and many of them were carried
oyer into Christian theology, where
they were subject to other influences

Poor Food Set Before

in a very Inferior state under the
early mOnarchs. Gregory Of Tours

writes Anthony CIyne in the Boston
Transcript. Charlemagne lived poor
" and ate but little. Philippe lie Bel
was hardly half an hour ut the table,
and Francis I thought more of amor
GUS dalliance than Of eating and
drinking. Nevertheless, 1t was under
this last king that the science Of
cookery took Its rise in France. Few
have heard the name of Gonthier
d'Andernach. What Bacon was to
philosophy, Dante or Petrarch to poe
try. Copernlcus or Calico to astron-
Omy, GOnthler was In France to gas
trOnOmy. Before him, their culinary
code was collection Of scraps picked
up here and there, the names of
dishes were as barbarous and uncouth
as the dishes themselves.
Gonthier is the father Of cookery,
as Descartes Of French philosophy. It
Is said that he invented, In less than
ten years, nine ragouts, thlrty-one
sauces and twenty-One soups.

one trapeze to another when, sudden

jumped, she was seen to sway dizzlly.
The next second the Mortified crowd
saw her tumble head first from the
trapeze. Fortunately, the rope was
twined around her ankle so that she
hung head downward. She was OBJ
viously in a dead faint. Quick as a
flash another trapezlst swung himself
out, and, in a flying leap, grasped the

Early English Dramas
Acted Only on Sunday

Though legislators In 1880 frOwned
on Sunday amusements, some Of their
predecessors regarded them with a
more tolerant eye. In the Sixteenth
century Sunday was almost the play
goer's only chance of entertainment.
1t was not until 1879 that plays were
acted on week days, and until a con-
siderable later date Sunday was still
regarded as the occasion for the pro-
ductiOn of new pieces. Queen Eliza
beth patronized Sunday plays, as did
also james l. and even the higher
clergy took no exception to the prac-
tice. Indeed, we read Of the then
bishop of London producing "A Mid
summer Nights Dream" at his town
house on Sunday evening as late as
1881. The practice, however, was not
without many opponents, and there
can be no doubt that Sunday perform
ances had not a little to do with the
Puritan dislike Of playgolng Of

Apparently Beggar Had
Found Ruse Profitable

Tie New Yorker thought he had
experienced every form Of panhan-
ding extant. Recently, however, he
visited Washington and learned a new
wrinkle in extracting money from the
pockets Of the public.
Walking through public square In
the afternoon with one of the numer-
Gus judges who lives in the capital,
man approached. In his arms was
a baby; at his side was his wife and
walking in front were two more chill
dren not over six years old.
Holding a half-dollar up between
his finger and thumb, the man with
the baby muttered to the New Yorker
as he passed: "Won't you help me
pay my rentT
The visitor dug into his pocket for
quarter, but the judge stopped him.
"You don't know IL this man is
worth helping" he said. "We have
community chest In Washington to
take care of such cases."
AS the New Yorker argued the point
with the judge, the man and his fam
lily disappeared. u atn
A few minutes later taxicab swept
past and as the New Yorker jumped
back to avoid it he saw, comfortably
driving home, the man who had plead
ed for assistance with his rent, and
the whole family accompanying him.

Steel Plow in America

In this country. about 1897, John
Newhold demonstrated a cast-iron
pillow. 1t was similar to cast-iron
plows which had been demonstrated
shortly before in England. Records In
dictate that farmers feared detrimen-
tai effects from so much iron In con-
tact with the soil. and evidently this
first American cast-iron pillow was
never repaired after its moldboard be-
came broken. The obstinate quality Of
the soil in the Mississippi valley led to
the use Of steel instead Of iron strips
on the moldboards of plows. John
Deere, 1887. and William Parlin, 1872.
were pioneers in the steel pillow bust
ness Of the Middle West. Much credit
is due also to James Oliver, who, be-
ginning his experiments in 1853, great
ly advanced the process for chilling
cast-iron pillow points

Covered Wagon DaXa

In the days of the pioneer tricks
across the plains courage was required
to face the 1000 miles stretching
bleakly in front of them. typical
train consisted Of one wagon, two
yoke of four-year-old steers and one
yoke Of cows" In front Of them were
rivers, mountains, thirst, hunger, pri-
walton and the pestilence that over
took migrating hordes. Soon they
were in column of wagons said to
be 800 miles long-all moving toward
the west, their occupants without
proper food. dependent upon unhealth-
full streams for water, enveloped in
an intolerable dust. In calm weather
the dust would rise so thick at times
that the lead team of oxen could not
be seen from the wagon. Then, again,
the steady flow of wind would hurl
the dust and sand like fine hail, with
force enough to sting the face and
hands.

People of Asia Minor
First to Breed Mules?

The mule, which is the product Of
a cross between mare and male ass,
has been bred as beast of burden
since early times. The inhabitants of
Mysia, Paphlagonia and Capadocia, an
Client countries in Asia Minor, are said
to have been the first people to raise
mules. This, while not definitely es-
tablished, is borne out by Homeric
tradition. Mules were bred in large
numbers by both the ancient Greeks
and Romans. The Jews were forbid
den to breed mules by Leviticus 10: 10,
which declares, Thou shalt not let thy
cattle gender with a diverse kind"
Evidently, however, the Israelites ell
ther imported the hybrids or broke the
law, because early in their history
they possessed large numbers of
mules, which in a hilly country like
Palestine were preferable to horses
and asses for many purposes. It is
probable that in some cases mule" is
employed in English translations of
the Bible when lass" would be the
proper word.-Pathfnde Magazine.
