What was the Ancient Form of Books? Books were originally written on finely-prepared skins or parchment, united together in rolls; all the Scriptures in use among the ancient Hebrews were in this form. These roll books were called "volumina," hence the English word volume as it refers to books.
What were the Masonic Guilds of the Middle Ages? Theywere fraternities of practical architects and masons, who were employed to rear the ecclesiastical structures which still survive to attest the piety of the founders. They moved from country to country, fostered by the church, and protected by the rulers who required their services.
What Is an Annular Eclipse of the Sun? When the moon covers the
face of the sun, excepting the edge all round, so as to leave a ring of light.
What is Remarkable aboufttha Eyes of Insects? They are usually
mucn projected, and consist or a vast number of distinct lenses, which
enable them to see on all sides.

WATCH ?EM GO TO IT.
Underwood says the democrats are going to revise the tariff from agate
to zinc.
In other words from soup to nuts. If the democrats do there will be a
republican president In the White
House again four years from March
next.
The country at the close of the
Taft administration is remarkably
prosperous but we predict that the democrats will rip things up and
down the back when they get started.
It is tradition that democracy can
be banked on to do the wrong thing
at the right time.
Going to be pretty hard on the
country but the democrats always were hard on the country.
What was the Arm In Arm Convention? A name given to a convention of Republicans who supported President Johnson's policy of reconstruction. So named because members from Massachusetts and South Carolina entered the hall arm in arm.
Who wa called "Young Hickory"? Andrew Jackson was called "Old Hickory." James K. Polk was born in the same state as Jackson, North Carolina, and settled in the same State, Tennessee, and a certain resemblance in their political feelings led the admirers of Polk to call him "Young Hickory."
Who were the Sophists? They were
a class of reasoners contemporary
with Socrates and Pericles, who took
their designation from sophos, wise;
but they brought reasoning into con
tempt by endeavoring to cast uncer
tainty over the most obvious truths.
Hence, specious arguments are called
sophistry.
What Is Latent Heat? Heat which is concealed in a body, and does not
manifest its presence under ordinary
circumstances.
Who was the Plumed Knight? A reference to James G. Blaine in the speech of Robert G. Ingersoll, who nominated Blaine as a candidate for president at the Cincinnati convention in 1S76. Ingersoll said: "Like an armed warrior, like a plumed knight, James G. Blaine marched down the halls of the- American con-

What Is the highest ascent made In a balloon? The highest balloon ascension of which there is any authentic record was that of M. Berson, July 31, 1901. He had with him a provision of compressed oxygen, and took observations at 34,500 feet at which time he became unconscious. As he was still rising he probably reached fhe height of 36,000 feet.

UNCERTAINTY OF OBSCURITY
Fame is also a matter of suddenness. A little more than ten years
ago, just when President Roosevelt
was beginning his first administra
tion, there was a professor at Prince ton university.' Today he is presi
dent-elect. I his man, who was in
the ordinary walk3 of life a few years
ago, has suddenly reached a position
the highest in the world, unless It is
that the papal throne is higher, that a commoner can attain. Five years ago there was a country lawyer plodding along at Columbia City, Ind. Very shortly he will take the oath of office as vice president of the United States. The American presidency,, is indeed, a matter of the dark horse. A clerk worked in a leather store at Galena, 111., during the early sixties with no future ahead of him. Comes a war, he becomes a great general and seven years later the leather clerk is the president. Chester Alan
Arimir, customs collector at :ew York in 1878, a desirable post, to be
sure, but a comparatively low one,
occupied the presidential chair three
years later. Out or the same state came Grover Cleveland, a orivate
citizen in 1SS1, who successively became mayor of Buffalo, governor of Xew York and who won the presidency before three years had elapsed. As a matter of fact what American citizen except Washington and Grant was ever famous before he became president? The purpose of recording this is here is not to give a partial history of the presidential office but to show
that fame and opportunity not infre
quently knock at obscure doors.

THE LANDIS BOYS. The Landis boys are In hard luck. Most of them have become disassociated with public office salaries through the vissitudes of politics or the displeasure of the annolntlnsr

boys may be obliged to go to work

WHAT HE OUGHT TO DO.
It is quite probable that Governorelect Ralston is bored to death by Job-
hunters and pie-counter warmers
There are men who can't live unless they have their teeth fastened to the
public udder. We have them around
here and some of them are helping to
make life miserable for the new gov
ernor. According to the Fort Wayn
News, Ralston claims to have been
distressed by the cases of several
young men who have appealed to Mm! for jobs with the plea that their ability to get married depended upon their success in securing appointive positions from him. Mr. Ralston is wasting a whole lot of perfectly good sympathy. Instead of engaging in this proflgacy of idle tears, he ought to get good and busy and kick from his office all cheap skates who come whining before him wit& such unworthy presentments. He might even
SCH00LH0USE LITIGATION. The city of Hammond must find a way to expand its present school
facilities. The state factory inspector may at any time issue an order prohibiting the crowding of the Central building. In another year conditions will be intolerable. With the exception to the addition to the Irving school there has been practically no expansion of school facilities since this litigation started.
These facts were brought out lit the meeting of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce held in the rooms of that organization the other night. An effort was made to suggest some way of urging an immediate consideration of the matter by the supreme
court, which has the case pending on a motion for a re-hearing, but the intricacies and the etiquette of court
proceedure forbids. Attorney William J. Whiaery, whe represents Caldwell & Drake, the contractors who have appealed the case repeatedly and are causing the delaj, suggested that the attorneys for the board of education or the members of the citizen's committee go into court and confess error so that the
Incase could be dropped entirely and
to come in and bid again. So why should Caldwell & Drake go to the expense they have to preserve their right to the oid contract when they have the opportunity of re-bidding and getting $20,000 more." Should the members of. the citizen's committee, of which Carl Bauer is chairman, confess error any citizen could come in and enjoin the letting of the contract on any of the following grounds:
1. The school city has a right to
sell the central school property and
apply the proceeds towards the build
ing of a new school house but it has no right to turn this property in as
part-of the consideration on the contract. Decision of the supreme court
2. The contract is void because it
was not ratified by the common coun
cil. Supreme court's decision.
3. The contract is a liability and
hence the city has exceeded the two nercent limit of indebtedness. Su
preme court's decision.
These and a number of other points enter in to the case so that even if
ChalrmanBauer of the citizen'3 com
mittee did confess error any other citizen could come in an enjoin the
construction of the building on these grounds with the assurance that the
supreme court would uphold him.
So there is no alternative than to
go ahead with the litigation and
await the next decision of the su
preme court. There is omy one
chance to get a new school house next year and that is that Caldwell &
Drake will decide to antagonize the citizens of Hammond no longer and
wrlll drop the case after the next do
cision is rendered.
Sun the other night said:
"About the severest comment that has been made in some time on the small average pay of ministers comes from Syracuse, N. Y., where a clergyman gave up his charge to take a job as woodworker. He made the change, he said, because he could not support
his four children properly by-preach-1
ing. It gives his former parishion-, ers something to think over with shame. It is the same as If they had been obliged to give up their professions and occupations because 'they could not earn enough in them to support their children properly. Ministers and their children have to live as well as other people. Preachers also ought to be paid enough to
enable them to devote their full thought ad energy to the duties of their profession. Otherwise they night be absorbed by the perplexities of making both ends meet. How can a minister produce a good, inspir
ing sermon for his congregation with
a mind that is racked by thoughts of
where the next meals for himself and
family are coming from? Not only is the laborer in the ministry worthy of his hire, but he is worthy as well of a reasonable amount of it.
