The New Englander uses the word
“natural” to describe one who was
unfurnished at birth with the usual
and Indispensable quantity of bruitifl.
Prof. Burt G. Wilder, the distinguish
ed zoologist, tells an amusing story
that turns on a countryman's mistak
ing the unfamiliar word “naturalist”
for the’ familiar word "natural.”
A few years after his arrival in
America, Agassiz was one of a small
party of Harvard professors who
traversed the White Mountain region
in a carriage driveu by the country
man. Three of them were vivacious,
restless, and on the lookout for speci
mens. They would call a halt, leap
from the vehicle before It stopped,
dash over the tiehls, and return with
prizes in their boxes, in their hands
upon
and pockets, and even pinned
|
Felton,
their hats. The fourth. Prof.
I
the hrother-iu-law of Agassiz, sat
quietly in his corner of the carriage
reading a faVorite Greek author.
When tlie bewildered driver could
stand It no longer be elicited from
Felton information that led him to
view the behavior of the others with
compassionate toleration. At the close
of the day he thus conveyed Ids In
terpretation to the innkeeper:
“I drove the queerest lot you ever
saw. They chattered like monkeys.
They wouldn’t keep still. They jump
ed tlie fences, tore about the Helds,
and came back with their hats cover
ed with bugs. I asked their keeper
what ailed them; he said they was
naturals, and, judgin’ from the way
they acted, I should say they was."—

The Mechitarlst monks are a small
congregation of Armenian Christians
who were exiled from their native land
at the beginning of the eighteenth cen
tury. The church in Armenia had long
been divided Into bitterly hostile camps
over the question of the nature of
Christ, ami when the Mechltarists en
tered Into communion with the Church
of Rome in 1712 the Armenian patri
arch succeeded tn driving them from
the country. They took up their resi
dence In the Korea, but they had again
to flee before the advance of the con
quering Turk, and In 1715 they estab
lished themselves In Venice, on the
Island of San Lazzaro. Here they set
up a printing press and gathered to
gether a lurge and valuable library of
oriental works. Their name Is de
rived from Mechtar da Petro, who
founded a religious society at Constan
tinople about the year 171*0, and who
aimed at uplifting the Intellectual and
spiritual conditions of his countrymen,
and at diffusing a knowledge of the
old Armenian language and literature.
The colony of exiles during their so
journ in Venice has printed most of
the classic writings in Armenian lit
erature and translated the works of
Eusebius, Philo and other writers.
There is a type for every
need of price or use.

The harpsichord was a stringed mu-
steal Instrument In use in the 16th.
17th and 18th centuries, which In Its
form and In the arrangement of the
keyboard and strings resembled a pi
ano, but In which the tone was pro
duced by the plucking or snapping of
the strings by leather or quill points,
which were set In jacks connected by
levers with the keys. In form It usu
ally resembled a modern grand piano
forte, though both square and upright
varieties were also made. The length
of the keyboard was four to six and
a half octaves. The number of sep
arate strings to a key varied from
one to four, sometimes Including one
tuned an octave above the others; the
latter variety was called a double
harpsichord. The toue was weak and
tinkling, and gradation of force was
Impossible.
Two keyboards were
sometimes combined, one for soft
effects; the other for loud. Numerous
devices, usually connected with the
jacks, were Introduced nt differeni
times to secure variety in force, and
especially In quality. These mechan
isms, which often aimed to simulate
the tone qualities of various orches
tral instruments, were usually con
trolled by stopknobs near the key
board. The harpsichord, though es
sentially different from the pianoforte,
was its Immediate predecessor. Be
fore 1800 It was regularly used in all
dramatic music, especially In accom
panying recitatives and in orchestral
music. Th«» conductor usually direct
ed from his seat nt n harpsichord

When Coleridge said, “No mind Is
thoroughly well organized that is de
ficient In the sense of humor,” he ex
pressed a conviction that seems com
mon to lill civilized men. and makes
each nation take pride in its humor
and perhaps suspect that other nutions
enjoy a somewhat Inferior brand. Yet
comparisons of humor shows, broadly
speaking, that the peoples of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
lished In Tokyo, a Japanese author, for
example, remarks that humor “Is In
deed the flower of life, and life with
out It would be as dreary ns spring
without its blossoms. To Illustrate, he
i translates a number of Japanese anec
dotes, “funny stories,” us the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
of the “funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers.

The rapid development of geography
as a college study, since its first ap-
pearance in a university curriculum,
about half a century ago, Is discuss« d
by Prof. R. H. Whitbeck of the Uni
versify of Wisconsin, in a recent ar
ticle on “Geography in American and
European Universities," published In
the Journal of Geography. He points
out the following Interesting facts:
In 1860 Harvard and Princeton
were the only American universities
offering courses in geography.
Cornell and University of Wiscon
sin introduced the subject in 1868,
and Yale followed in 1872. In 1000
only 12 American universities taught
the subject, but by 1910 thirty-one
universities were offering a variety
of 142 courses.
With 704 students enrolled In geog
raphy, the University of Wisconsin
led all others in 1910. With 1,060 en
rolled in 1917, It b-d all others except
the University of Pennsylvania. It
now offers seven courses In physical
and economic geography, climatology
and other phases of the subject

The Quaker Bonnet.
I hnve heard that there Is ns much
technique In the making of the bonnet
of the olden pattern for the Friends
as there is in the Japanese art of
drinking tea. In Ohio there is a sec
tion that wears the Quaker garb with
the bonnet; there Is another In Iowa
that still keeps to the characteristic
costume; In NewYorktn a settlement on
both sides of Lak«- Cnyugn are Friends
who follow the simple, historic fash
ion: and In Fairhope, Ala., n single tux
settlement very largely settled by
Friends, are others. Much Importance
is attached to what is called the "ex
pression" of the bonnet. In the very
simplicity, there is quite as much room
for the manifestation of a particular
taste as In the more elaborate millin
ery of “the world’s people.” Even to
half n hair things must be right. The
flnl- i < <1 product conus In for a clos«-
critical scrutiny at every possible an
gle. The true Friend abhors display
and self advertisement, and. therefore,
she does not cure to have it known
when a fresh bonnet Is bought. That
Is why each tnu«t be th«? s-ioie as the
one that preceded It.—Philadelphia
