He that fights and runs away,
May liveto fight another day.

These lines generally attributed to
Hudibras, are really much older They
are to be found in book published in
1906. The same idea, is, however, ex-
pressed in couplet published in 1912,
while one of tho fragments in Menander,
the Greek writer, that have been preserv-
ed, embodies the same idea in single
line. The couplet in Hudibras is:
For those that fly might fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
Whistling girls and the growing hen
Always come to some bad end,
In one of the curious Chinese books
recently translated and published in
Paris, the proverb occurs in substantially
the same words. 1t is an injunction Of
the Chinese Priesthood, and a carefully
observed household custom to kill imme-
diately every hen that crows, as pre-
ventive against the misfortune that the
circumstance is supposed to Indicate
The same practice prevails through many
portions of the United States

has spent three months trying
to get a contract to put one
