Itlg Price Ph. tlie Ancient Volume "£?antellit Quatuor." The splendid manuscript of the "Evangeiia Quatuor" which for over 60 years has been in the possession of the earls of Ashburnham, was sold re cently by private treaty to a purchaser who is not an inhabitant of England. The price paid is $50,000, probably the highest sum ever paid for a single vol ume. The history of the volumes, one of the most important and beautiful examples of early goldsmiths' and jew elers' art in existence, is definite and simple. It belonged for many centu ries to the Abbey of Noble Canoness, founded A. D. 834, by the Emperor Lewis .the Pious, at Landau, on the Lake of Constance. The binding is formed of stout boards lined on the in side with ancient embroidered silk and covered with our Savior on the cross the surface with raised borders and lines of fretwork in gold and studded with 327 emeralds, sapphires, car buncles, pearls, and other precious stones. The lowed cover is formed into a cross patee, with a border of mosaic enamels and set with 35 pre cious stones. The covers of the book date from about the end of the eighth century, or probably rather later. This Evangeliarium, or Textus, is not mere ly interesting as a work of art it is associated on the one side with the early history of Christianity in Bava ria, and the part which the Irish ec clesiastics took in its Introduction into that district, and on the other with that great dynasty which played so important a part in the history' of Eu rope. As far as the manuscript itself is concerned, it is not enriched with the fine miniatures which adorn the best examples of the Carlovingian school, and the inside of the book f3 distinctly less interesting than the out side. It consists of 220 pages of vel lum, 12% inches by 10 inches, and com prises the text of the four gospels of Jerome's version, preceded by their ar guments or prefaces. (St. Luke having two), and by the epistle of Jerome to the Pope Damasus, with tales of the Eusebian Canons. The writing is of German origin and the text is by sev eral scribes, written not earlier than 950. The appearance of an unpreten tious book in such a splendid dress is explained by the probability that the manuscript has usurped the place of an older and finer copy, more in harmony with the covers. IMPORTANCE OF Inactivity EXERCISE. Atrophy Potent Cause of and Degeneration. Regular exercise is essential to the preservation of health inactivity is a potent cause of atrophy and degenera tion. The vigor and equality of the circulation, the functions of^the skin *nd the aeration of the blood are all promoted by muscular activity, which thus keeps up a proper balance and relation between the important organs of the body. In youth the vigor of the system is often so great that, if one organ be sluggish, another part will make amends for the deficiency by acting vicariously, and without any consequent damage to itself. In old age the task cannot thus be shifted from one organ to another. The work allotted to each sufficiently taxes strength, and vicarious action cannot be performed without mischief. Hence the importance of maintaining as far as possible the equable action of all the bodily organs, so that the share of the vital processes assigned to each shall be properly accomplished. For this reason exeieise is an important part of the conduct of life in old age but discretion is absolutely nrcessary. An old man should discover by expe rience how much exercise he can take without exhausting his powers, and should be careful not to exceed the limit. Old persons are apt to forget that their staying-powers are much less than they once were, and that, while a walk of two or three miles may prove easy and pleasurable, the addition cf the return journey of sim ilar length will seriously overtax the strength. One-Third of Its People In One City. Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, with its population of 216,000, contains al most one-third of the inhabitants of the republic, who number about 780, 000, with an area of 72,000 square miles. Nearest to this among countries of importance is Denmark, 19 per cent of whose inhabitants live in Copenhagen. Of the population of the British isl ands, about 10 per cent inhabit the metropolis, while very nearly one fourth of the inhabitants of Scotland live In its commercial capital, Glas gow. Christiania holds 10 per cent of the people of Norway, Brussels 8 per cent of those of Belgium, and Parts, 6 per cent of all Frenchmen who live in their own country. Holland, at its official capital, The Hague, and its two commercial capitals of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, has altogether one-flfth of th« total population.—Stray Stories. On* Drawback to Deportation. Minister Wu Ting Pang was recently told a story in regard to the Chinese exclusion act that pleased him notice* ably. Soon after the act was passed* the secretary of state received a letter from Pennsylvania, signed by a China man. The writer said that he had come to this country under false pre tense* and hence he should be deported to China Immediately. The request was so strange that the secretary of state ordered an investigation. The agent reported a few days later that the Chinaman's statement about the way in which be entered this country was correct and that he should be ported. There was de one drawback, however. The Chinaman had been con vletcd o£ murder and seottneed IttV ..... THE PARENTAL NICKNAME. Vlcl««ltati of "Pupa'' and "Mamma** uuil "tiovornur" iu England. In our own country "papa" and "mamma" have bten in familiar uee for some three hundred years at least, says the London-Globe. They prob ably reached us from Italy, where their use was of much older date. Dante uses "mamma" in the "Purgatorlo." Words of this kind are often in com mon and familiar use long before they find their way into the written lan guage 6f books, so that it would not be easy to say when "papa" and "mamma" were first heard among us, but one of the earliest literary traces of their use is to be found In Lyly's "Euphues' (1579), an Italian story crammed with curious verbal absurd ities, for the most part copied or imi tated fro-, the Italian fashions and affectations of the day. From that time instances of the use of.one or the other of the words, or of both, are fairly common in ^iterature^ Another familiar and* childish va- riant is "dad" or "daddy." "Dad," or "tad" as the earlier form is, is a pure Welsh word, and is of great antiquity. The Lord's Prayer begins in Welsh with the words "Ein Tad," or "Em Dad," the first word of the phrase meaning "Our." "Dad," with its deri vatives "daddy" and "dada," has long been familiar in the mouths of Eng lish children. Like "papa," it was doubtless in use many years before lit erature took note of it still, it is found more than two centuries ago In a burlesque poem attacking James II. The doggerel contains both "dad" and "dada." Children of a larger growth have other equivalents for father and mother. Boys who think that.they are too big to use the tender sounding names which were familiar to their in fancy talk of the "pater" and the "maler." "Governor" is another col loquial variant which has little to rec ommend it. A few shades worse than "governor" is "relieving officer"—a phrase affected by sons who look upon their father chit-fly as the source of financial supply. There are ether simi lar epithets in se, but they are neither attractive nor dignified. When daddy and mammy, or papa or mamma are pi:t rt»si !e as too childish, or are dis carded for any other reason, thcc are no parental names which c.au for a moment compare with the simple, but dignified, plain, but beautiful, Anglo Saxon words father and mother. BUSY "BEST PEOPLE.' They Assist Whitecaps, Lynchers, Raid ers anl Other Lawbreakers. Anyone who thinks "our best peo ple" have an easy time of it is mis taken, says the Chicago Journal. They are always up and doing. The man who reads the newspapers will readily understand that. And they are usual ly doing those things that they ought Dot to be doing. Indeed, according to all accounts, "our best people" busy themselves -principally with other people's business. Surely everyone must have noticed that the recent raids in Kansas were conducted by "some of our best people." They were the ones who rallied to Mrs. Nation's support they were the ones who, in spired by her example, wield axes and hatchets in localities that she overr looked. But Kansas is not. the only state where "our. ,best people" have been busy not by a good deal. They had a hand in the last lynching re ported, for tlie truthful correspondent asserted that ".some of our best peo ple were foremost in the crowd." That's always the way. No one ever heard of a man being tarred and feathered, or of a» drug store being wrecked, or of a whltecap outrage be ing perpetrated, or of the prerogatives of the law being usurped in any way, that "some of our best people" were not involved in it. They seem to be most perniciously busy all the time, and the ordinary, prosaic, matter-of fact, law-abiding citizen has reason to be thankful that he does not get mixed up with them. According to present indications the term will soon be one of reproach, and to shoot a man for calling you "one of our best people" will be justifiable homicide. New Woiuen In Scotland. In Scotland where there are no wom en lawyers a woman is suing the In corporated Society of Law Agents, which is the Scotch Bar association, to compel the society to admit her to ex amination so that she may be entitled to practice as a full-fledged attorney. The society does not seem to care much whether she becomes a lawyer or not. In an answer to her plea, filed with the court, it says that the court had better decide the matter. It does not feel itself called upon either by duty or Interest to maintain that wom en might not be admitted to the prac tice of law the society can only state that no woman has hitherto been ad mitted and that there are certain pub lic offices open to lawyers for which women probably wduld not be suited. The court is likely to grant the wom an's plea. Why Massachusetts Is Rich. The report of the state tax commis sioner of Massachusetts shows why the people of that state are rich, says the New York Times. The total valua tion of the capital stock of corpora tions in that state Is $641,664,125, with, nearly $100,000,000 not counted be ause of litigation. The value of the land and machinery of these corpora tions is $349,356,129. The aggregate of the taxes assessed on this property $5,156,160. Massachusetts is a Is poor state naturally. Her people encouraged and developed manufactures with the result stated. If the farms are aban doned, the mllla are filled. There la lesion in this—dividends!
