The Seven Wise Men.

Most people have heard of the seven
wise men Of Greece" but very few know
who they were or how they came to be
called so. Here is. the story of them,
and the moral of it is worth remembering
if their names are not:
The seven wise men of Greece are sup.
posed to have lived in the fifth century
before Christ. Their names are Pittacus,
Bias, Solon, Thales, Chilon, Cleobulus
and Periander. The reason Of their be-
ing called "wise" is given differently by
authors, but the most approved accounts
state that as some Coans were fishing GER
tain strangers from Miletus bought
whatever should be in the nets without
seeing it. When the nets were drawn in
they were found to contain golden
tripod which Helen, as she sailed from
Troy, is supposed to have thrown there.
A dispute arose between the fishermen
and the strangers rs to whom 1t belonged,
and as they could not agree, they took
it to the Temple of Apollo, and consulted
the priestess as to what should be done
with it. She said it must be given to
the wisest man in Greece, and it was ac-
cordingly sent to Thales, who declared
that Bias was wiser, and sent IL 70 h1m.
Bias sent 1t to another one, and 30 on,
until it had passed through the hands OF
all the men, afterwards distinguished by
the title Of tho Seven Wise Men," and
as each one claimed that some one was
wiser than he, it finally was sent to the
Temple of Apollo, where, according to
some writer, 1t still remains, to teach the
lesson that the wisest are the most dis
trustful oftheir wisdom.
THE motto for the week on little
girls Sunday school cardwss, " Get thee
behind me, Satan" There were goose.
berries in The garden, but she was for.
hidden to pluck them; pluck she did.
+" Why did not you," said the mother,
"when, you were tempted TO touch them,
say, Get thee behind me, Satan 2" II
did," she said earnestly, "and he got
right behind me and pushed me into the
BUSH"

Mr.. Stewards Collection of Paintings.

Mr.. Stewart was glad to witness the
enjoyment of his art treasures by other
people. The rarest and most costly OF
his pictures we're freely and cheerfully
loaned by him to his favorite club, the
Union League, and formed the leading
attractions of its exhibitions. Only his
last Meissonier, the choicest of all mod
ern pictures, he reserved for his own su-
perb gallery. He entertained and
mat ured doubtless wise plans for insuring
to the public the use of his magnificent
collection, the value OF which can not be
much less than million of dollars.
1t is thought, that the palace in which
he lived for a few years past will be dedi-
Gated 10 some public use that will enable
the people to hereafter see his collection
under suitable restrictions. Whether II
has been left as School of Design for
Women" or as a princeIy present to the
Union League Club, remains TO be seen.
In either case IL will stand for years an
indestructible and beautiful monument
TO his memory. He built il solidly, and
so expensively that even the mutations
of trade would not disturb IL, and II Il

Unsuccessful Attempt to Capture a
Widow.

Up in Fayette curious lawsuit Is
pending. One Daniel Bittner yearned
for a wife, and certain widow living
near Maynard filled the measure of his
ideal, while her kreutzers charmed his
lean purse. To get access to her divine
presence was the rub. He applied to a
Mrs. Kleiner, at Ollwein, to act as a
"mutual friend" and promised her and
her husband twenty dollars worth Of
the best shoes they ever wore If she
would introduce him to the widow.
Mrs. X. was willing Mr.. b. was willing;
and on a sunny day in April, 1875, the
trio met by chance, and the enamored
Teuton was presented to the widow and
Mrs. X. left him. But he failed to i'm
press the widow-in fact, didn't court
worth cent. The widow was shy, and
gave no sign of matrimonial intent.
Back to Mrs. X. went Bittner. with COM
plant that the widow was offish, and re-
quested the mutual friend to work up
the case, which she did, laying Bittner's
desires before the widow with earnest
ness and zeal. The widow took the
matter under advisement and suggested
that B. should come and work on her
farm that she might become better ac-
quainted with him. This he refused,
and the match was off To pay her ex-
penses home from the widows Mrs. X.
borrowed of Mr.. b. twelve dollars, for
which she subsequently gave her note.
A few days ago Mr.. B. sued her on the
note and recovered judgment Mrs. X.
then sued for services as mutual friend.
B. admits the boot and shoe contract,
but sets up that it was due only in the
event of his marrying the widow, while
the plaintiff proves by her whole family
that she was only to introduce him to
her. The trial was had, and able coun-
sci heard on both sides, when the court
took the matter under advisement to
poise the scales of justice.-Des Moines
Dispdtch to The Uticaq0 Tribune.

MINOR TOPICS.

Prof. WATSON, of Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, reports he discovered first, on the
night of 10th of April, in the constella-
ton Virgo, q planet hitherto unknown,
the continued observation of which was
interrupted by clouds, On the 18th he
observed y satisfactorily. 1t shines like a
star of the eleventh magnitude. The po-
sition is right ascension, 13 hours 20
minutes; ;declination, 110 AZ, south. Its
motion is retrograde, one minute daily
in right ascension, and north two min
utes daily in declination.

The marvellous recuperation of France
is again proved by Leon Says budget
for 1877. In 1869, the last complete
year before the war. the revenue amount
ed to 1,40O, 100000 francs; the expen-
diture for 1877 is estimated at the enor-
.mous sum of 81, 12O, ,OO0, 900 francs, which
shows that in eight years the taxation of
France has increased so per cent, the
excess over last years expenditure be-
ing 50,000,000 francs. For the army
and navy 730,OO0,0O francs are allotted,
but for education only 100000
francs.

MhntI 20 Ent.

This term in medicine. according
to some, comprehends the whole
regimen of life, with regard to air,
meat, drink, sleep, watching, mo-
ton, rest, the passions, ratentions
and excretions. restrict the term
to eating and drinking alone. The
natural constitution Of the body of
man is such that it can easily bear
some change and irregularitie5 with
out some injury. Had it been
otherwise we should be almost con-
stantly put out of order by very
slight cause. This advantage comes
from those wonderful communica-
tons Of the inward parts, whereby,
when one part is affected another
comes Immediately to its relief.
Thus when the body is too full,
nature causes evacuation through
some of the outlets; and for this
reason, diseases from absolute mani
ton are generally more dangerous
than from rcpletion, unless the latter
be excessive because We can more
cxpedetiously diminish than in
crease the juices Of the body. Upon
the same account though temper
ance be beneficial to all men, the an
Gent physicians advise persons in
good health nowaud then to eat and
drink more abundantly than usual.
But Of the two, intemperance in
drinking is safer than eating. If d
man is obliged to fast, he ought to
avoid all laborious work. From
safety it is not proper to pass di-
rectly to sharp hunger, nor from
hunger to safety; neither will it be
safe to indulge in absolute rest i'm.
mediately after excessive labor, nor
suddenly to fall to hard work after
long idleness. In a word, all
changes in the way of living should
be made by degrees. The softer
and milder kinds of ailment are
proper for children, and for youth
the stronger. Old people ought t.
lessen the quantity of their food
and increase that Of their drink
but some allowance is to be mad,
for custom, especially in cold eli
mates like ours; for as in these tn.
appetite is keener, SO is the diges
ton better performed. Milk pot
tage for breakfast is far more whole
, some than tea with bread and but
ter: and, if made after the follow
ing manner, is in many respect
preferable to milk alone. Let equa
! quantities OF milk and water b
/ boiled up with a little oatmeal
- which viii break the yiscidity 0
: the milk and be at the same tim
more easily digested than the latte
in an undilutcd state. Beside.
oatmeal is a much warmer nourish
/ ment than wheaton flour, an.
agrees better with weak stomachs
