Modern Coed Has Own
Standard of Freedom
I have come In contact with a num
ber of modern coeds at various insti
tutions; and many of them have been
able, not to say willing or eager, to
discuss excessively delicate subjects
with the utmost freedom, as long ns
the discussion remains on a sclentilic
or dispassionate basis. If there Is
anything that many modern coeds will
not talk about 1 don’t know what
it is.
I am quite unable to state, however,
that they are Infinitely more sophisti
cated than their mothers, or than the
preceding generation of coeds; be
cause I have no way of knowing how
much their mothers knew. 1 have a
strong suspicion, however, that their
mothers knew a great deal more than
they admit knowing; and It seems
quite obvious that a great many dow
agers who stand deliciously aghast at
the conversation and the crimes that
are laid at the door of the younger
generation are ready to listen to ti e
conversations and to repeat them at
every opportunity.
I might even go so far as to hint
that if opportunities do not present
themselves, they make their own op
portunities. Tt takes a high-grade of
statistician to worry the inner mean
ing out of this state of affairs.—Ken
neth L. Roberts, In the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
Clock Made for Pope
Marvel of Ingenuity
The most beautiful clock In Eng
land Is said to be found in the Brit
ish museum. It Is believed to have
been made by Pope Sixtus V, that
pontiff, brought up (as some tell) a
swineherd, who amassed when he
reached the holy see such treasures
as eclipsed the wealth of Europe; to
whom much of the magnificence of
Rome Is owed.
Three stories high It stands, telling
on Its dials the fast days, the signs
of the Zodiac, the motions of the sun
and moon In their course. Besides
the minute dial a cherub raises a
sickle as the hour strikes, while his
neighbor turns an hour-glass over.
But you will need all your eyes for
the topmost story, divided Into four
balconied tiers. On the lowest the
gods of the days of the week pass
slowly round. Above, the Mrgln and
Child are seated, before whom an
gels make obeisance as they pass by. |
Next the four ages of man strike the
quarters on a bell. On the topmost
balcony Death comes forward at the
hour and strikes a bell, the figure of
Our Lord retreating meanwhile.
Crowning It all a beautifully molded
cock porches on the dome; and when
the chimes have rung he flaps his
wings and crows I
Scene of Bloodshed
The famous Slglrlya rock of Cey
lon has a story of blood behind It,
says an article In the Times of Ind a.
Standing 11 miles from Duambulla
on the Trlnco road, It rises sheer to
a height of 450 feet above the sur
rounding plain and was the strong
hold of one Kassapa who seized the
throne after killing his father and
attempting the life of his brother.
Kassapa lived there for 18 yean
and during that time he built cis
terns, courtyards and palaces on the
rock. Eventually he was defeated
and killed In battle by his brother.
