Our Debt to Ancient Greece.
Greece and Rome were at the
site poles of the human world,
equally opposite are their
upon modern times. Rome was
tical, hard headed, juristic, while
was intellectual, emotional,
abounding In what may bo called
forebrain versus the brain behind
ears. Rome’s empire was lengthy,
terial, matter of fact, while
banked on the intellectual and
ual, finding her greatest conquests
the realm of mind rather than In that
of matter. Rome produced no
original thinker, her greatest men
ing, like the moon, by borrowed
light reflected from the sages of Ath
ens. Rome taught men law, order, obe
dience, but the mother of Ideas and
sentiments was Greece. From
Eternal City we have inherited our jur¬
isprudence, but it is from the City of
the Violet Crown that we have derived
our art, science and philosophy. In a
word, to quote the substance of Dr.
Johnson’s saying, eliminate from our
modern civilization all that it owes
to Greece and the residue would be bar¬
barism.—New York American.
Poetry With a Sting In It.
On one occasion when William Ham¬
ilton Ilayne was visiting Samuel Miu
turn Peek at the latter’s home in Tus
kaloosa the two poets strolled into the
woods and paused to rest beneath the
shadows of the pines.
“Here are your favorite pines,
Hayne,” said Peek. “Let’s dream a
few poems beneath them.”
The languid summer day had its ef¬
fect on them, and they were soon snor
teg and dreaming away.
But suddenly both awoke aud both
started down the home road at top
speed, shouting as they ran.
An army of yellow jackets had dis
covered them, and, not being partial
to poetry, bad forcibly and feelingly
resented its intrusion on their domain.
Later, at supper, Peck asked:
t i Did you make a poem, Hayne? »»
“No,” was the meek reply, I made
a poultice!”
I : So did I,” said Peelc
Not a Slip of the Tongue.
It is dangerous to pretend to knowl¬
edge one does not possess, A man of
little education was once a guest at a
dinner, during which a servant stum¬
bled so that a roast tongue fell from
the platter he was carrying. It was au
embarrassing moment, but the quick
witted host saved the day by remark
lng, u Never mind, gentlemen, It’s only
a ‘lapsus lingua. t tf This caused much
laughter and applause, aud instead of
being spoiled the dinner was a great
success. The boor, wishing to sMue as
a wit himself, shortly afterward gave
a dinner, to which none of those pres
ent at the first dinner were invited,
When the guests had been seated a
servant entered bearing a beef roast.
Just before reaching the table he
stumbled and fell. The host, % leaping
to his feet, astonished the guestz by
exclaiming, “Never mind, gentlemen,
it’s only a ‘lapsus lingua.’ ’’—Kansas

Got the Autograph.
At Carlsbad on one occasion Brahms’
physician, Dr. Grunberger, asked tlie
composer for his autograph for a
young lady admirer, but Brahms scold
ed him for making a nuisance of
self and refused to give it.
weeks later, at his departure from
Carlsbad, Brahms handed to the doc
tor an envelope inscribed, ‘With the
cordial thanks of Johannes Brahms. ft
Noticing a broad grin on the doctor’s
face, be asked: “What makes you look
so cheerful? You don’t know yet what
the envelope contains. tf v • Nor do I
care, ■ i retorted the doctor. i . The en
velope is the main thing. Much oblig¬
ed for the autograph!”

Tree Fountain.
Au extraordinary curiosity is to
seen in the Swiss village of Gunten, on
Lake Thun. It takes the form of a nat¬
ural tree fountain, the water flowing
continuously from a spout high up
the tree. About twenty years ago the
water from a spring was
| through a shaft, and the supply pipe
was directed through the cut trunk of
a young poplar tree whieh was rammed
te the ground. After a short time tho
trunk rooted, branches followed, and
now there is a splendid top growth.

Great Laughers.
j The giant laughers have been men—

regard Cervantes and Sterne as laugh¬

are thin, lean, ironic smiles. A smile
is a diluted laugh. Sterne is a diluted

The Phantom Fire Ship.
! Tho traditional “fire ship” of the
1 u,;ll ' !Ui ' bay, New Brunswick, . appear
teg usually before a storm, has n basis
of fact, according to a scientist. It is
a hemispherical light, with the flat side
toward the water, glowing sometimes
j without much change of slender, form, but at
other times rising into mov¬
ing columns, in which an excited im¬
agination might recognize the flaming
rigging of a ship. The general ex¬
planation offered is that this object is
a manifestation of St. Elmo’s fire, an
electrical phenomenon, but the reason
for its appearing only ou or near the
Cbaleur bay is not known.
