Some Familiar Quotation*.
“Alii teratore’s artful aid”
spoken of by the little read poet
Churchill. “The pink of perfec
tion” was originated by Oliver Gold
smith; so were “Measures, not
men,” and “Man wants but little
here below, nor wants that little
long.” Gray, the author of the
“Elegy,” is responsible for many
popular phrases, among them “Full
many a gem of purest ray serene ”
“To waste its sweetness on the des
ert air,” “This pleasing, anxious be
ing,” “The paths of glory lead but
to the grave” and “Where igno
rance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise.'
Dr. Johnson gave ns “Who lives to
please must please to live.” He also
said, “Who drives fat oxen should
himself be fat,” in which there
more sound than sense.

A mollaak that might take an
important place in textile industries
if it existed in sufficient numbers is
found in warm seas, especially on
the coast of Sicily. It is the pinna,
a genus of wing shelled bivalves, of
■which one species attains a length
of two feet. To attach itself to the
TockB it spins a cable of strong fila
ments, called collectively the bye?

strong, silken in texture and have
been woven into various delicate
fabrics. A pair of gloves from this
material may be seen in the British
museum, and fine mummy cloths
made from it by the A “
