The Fables of India.

Max Muller, in The Contemporary
RevieU, 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
stillwait for their solution. Think, for
instance, of the ailus:on to the fableuf
the donkey in the lions skin, which oc-
ours in Plato's ''Cratylus." Was that
borrowed from the castf Or take the fable
Of the weasel changed by Aphrodite in
to woman who, when she saw
mouse could not refrain from making
Q spring at it. This, too, Is very like q
Sanskrit fable; but how, then, should 1t
have been brought into Greece early
enough to appear In one of the come
dies of Strattis, about 400 b. C.P Here,
too, there is plenty to do. We may go
back even further into antiquity, and
still find strange coincidences 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 orfrom west to east That at the
time of Solomon there was a channel
of communication open between India
and Syria and Palestine is established
beyond doubt. / believe, by certain
Sarskrit words which occur In the bible
rs names Of articles of export from
OPhir, articles such as ivory, apes, pea
cooks, aud sandal-wood, which taken to.
gether. GOULD not have been exported
from any country but India. Nor l.
there any reason TO suppose that the
commercial intercourse between India.
the Persian gulf, the Red ses, and the
Mediterranean was ever completely in
terrupted, even at tho 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.
omon, which has always been admired
as proof of great legal wisdom among
the Jews. must confess that, not hay.
ing legal mind, never could suppress
certain shudder when reading the de-
cision OF Solomon: "Diyide the liyino
child In two. and give half TO the one
and half to the other" Let mo 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 il the 1ibethan transla-
ton Of the Buddhist Tripitaka, we like
wise read of two women who claimed
each to be the mother Of the same child.
Ihe king. after listening to their quar-
rels Tor long time, gave 1t 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 womenp Lei
them take the boy and settle it among
themselves." Thereupon both women
fell on the child, and when the fich,
became violent the child was hart and
began to cry. Then one of them let him
60, because she could not bear TO hea,
the child cry. That settled the question.
The king gave the child to the true
mother and had the other beaten with a
rod. This seems to me, II not the more
primitive. yet the more natural form o,
the story, showing deeper knowledge
of human nature and more wisdom
than even tho wisdom of Solomon.
