The Fables of India.

Max Muller, in The Contemporary
ReUiea0, says: The study of fables owes
its new life to India, from whence the
various migrations of fables have been
traced at various times and through vari-
GUS channels from east to West. Budd-
hism is now known to have been the
principal source of our legends and
parallels. But here. too, many problems
still wait for their solution. Think, for
instance, of the allusion to the fable of
the donkey in the lions skin, which oc-
ours in Plato's "Cratylus.' Was that
borrowed from the east? Or take the fable
of the weasel changed by Aphrodite in
to a Swoman who, when she saw
mouse, could not refrain from making
spring at it. This, too, is very like a
Sanskrit fable; but how, then, should it
have been brought into Greece early
enough to appear in one of the come
dies of Strattis, about 400 B. c.? Here,
too, there is plenty to do. We may go
back even further into antiquity, and
still find strange condolences between
the legends of India and the legends of
the west, without as yet being able to say
how they travelled, whether from east to
west or from west to east. Thatat the
time of Solomon there was a channel
of communication open between India
and Syria and Palestine is established
beyond doubt. l believe, by certain
Sanskrit words which occur in the bible
as names of articles of export from
Ophtir' articles such as ivory, apes, pea
cocks, and sandal-wood, which taken to-
gether, could not have been exported
from any country but India. Nor is
fharn TO
commercial intercourse between India,
the Persian gulf, the Red sea, and the
Mediterranean was ever completely in
terrupted, even at the time when the
Book of Kings is supposed to have been
written. Now, you must remember in
the Book of Kings the judgment of Sol
as proof of great legal wisdom among
ing legal mind, never could suppress
certain shudder when reading the de-
cision of Solomon: ''Divide the living
child in two. and give half to the one
and half to the other" Let me now
tell you the same story as it is told by
the Buddhists, whose sacred canon is
full of such legends and parallels. In the
Kanjur, which is the Tibethan transla-
ton of the Buddhist Tripitaka, we like
wise read of two women who claimed
each to be the mother of the same child
The king, after listening to their quar-
rels for a long time, gave it up as hope.
less to settle who was the real mother
Upon this visakha stepped forward and
said: ''What is the use of examining
and cross-examining these women? Let
them take the boy and settle it among
themselves" Thereupon both women
fell on the child, and when the fight
became violent the child was hurt and
began to cry. Then one of them let him
go, because she could not bear to hear
the child cry. That settled the question.
The king gave the child to the true
mother and had the other beaten with
rod. This seems to me, if not the more
primitive. yet the more natural form OF
the story, showing deeper knowledge
of human nature and more wisdom
than even the wisdom of Solomon.

WHAT Damp Feet Mean.

Nine-tenths of the more tiresome
physical troubles women bring on them.
selves are due to no more terrible cause
than damp feet. Men, for once, are
sensible in this respect. They do not ha-
bitually tramp round in their slippers,
or wear thin slips of leather which are
as good protective against damp as
bit of blotting-paper. One-half the
boots and shoes seen in our streets ought
to be used exclusively for indoor wear.
they are splendid example of the way
in which people 60 about literally hunt
ing for sharp attack of illness.
1t is perfectly meet and right that the
modern Eve should take pride in her
foot. Well shod, and with dainty mil
itary, and not high, French heel to her
boot. it is proper she should be con-
scious of the charms of youth and COM
pliment. But thin cashmere uppers
never make a foot look well. At best
they are flimsy hearth-rug wear. Shoes
arc even more treacherous. A fairly
drenching shower of rain, and the spray
beats up from ethe descending drops.

Poor Mrs. Caudle, the good lady
whose curtain lectures so long kept pa

death, so it stands written, through no
more serious cause than ga pair Of

Why ST. Louis Lady Would Not Have GA Mod
ern Instance" in Her House.
A few days ago, says the St. Louis
Gtobe-Democrdt, lady inquired at one
of our city book stores for the latest
novels, and from a number presented
to her selected Howells' Modern In
stance for purchase. Next day she
returned with the volume to exchange
it for another. She said she had read
only the first chapter. and found it en-
tirely "unfit to have about the house
where it could be seen by young peo-
ple." The clerk expressed his aston
ishment that such an objection should
be made to work by Mr.. Howells,
whereupon the lady opened the book at
the following passage, to which she in
vited attention and condemnation. The
actors in the scene are a young lady
and a young gentleman who have Just
returned from sleigh ride:
''Good-night," he said, in low, sad
voice. He gave her hand a last press
ure, and rose to put on his coat Her
admiration of his words, her happiness
in his fattery, filled her brain like wine.
She moved dizzily as she took up the
lamp to light him to the door, Il have
tired you,' he said, tenderly, and he
passed his hand around her to sustain
the elbow of the arm with which she
held the lamp; she wished to resist, but
she could not try.
At the door he bent down his head
and kissed her ''Good-night, dear
friend"
"Good-night." she painted, and after
the door had closed upon him she stoop-
ed and kissed the knob on which his
hand had rested.
Il could not allow a book with such
language as that in it to remain in my
house," said the lady.
