Pet Problems of the Ancients

Among the problems with which
it pleased the ancisnts to preplex
themselves was one which bears in
an, instructive manner on the.
doctrine Of limits. It may be thus
stated: The swift footed Achilles
stated in pusuit Of . tortoise which la,l
was s1O, 900 yardaf from him Aehl lies
running running 100 time faster than the
tortoise. .tl, Now, when Achilles had
traversed the 10000 yards, the
tortoise had travelled 100 yerds;
when Achilles had Travelled, these
100 yards the tortoise had travelled
one yard; when Achilles had
travered this yard the tortoise was
still the Tooth part of a yard in
advance; when Achilles had
trayersed this Tooth part of a yard
the tortoise Was the 10,O0Oth part t
of yard in advance; and so on
sorever-the tortoise being at each
stage in advance of Achilles by
Tooth part Of the distance Achilles 9
had traversed in the preceding
stage. The tortoise then remains i
always in advance Of Achilles 10y
somo distance however minute ;
and therefore Achilles can never
overtake the tortoise. But we
know. that Achilles, travelling
faster than the tortoise, will over
take it. Therefore, Achilles will
and will not overtake the tortoise
which is absurd. The ancients
were strangely found of problems
of this sort. Thus there was the
famous problem about the ass
between two exactly equal bundles
of hay at exactly equal distance
"This ass, "sayss the v sophi!stt, "will
attempt to eat neither bundle;
for, by whatever line Of reasoning
4 conld he shown that he would
turn first to one bundle, by a line
Of reason precisely similar it may
he shown that he would turn first t.
the other. But he canuot turr
first to both. Therefore, he vii
turn to neither" Another O
these problems was thus worded
!"Epimenides, the Cretan, say
that the Cretans,are liars. Now
Epimenides himself is a Cretar
therefore Epimendes is a liar
Therefore Cretans are not liars
Therefore Epimenides is a lia1
Therefore" &C., ad infnitum
Other stated the problem in :,
more simple from: "When
man says I lie, does he lie or doe
he not lie? If he lies he speak
the truth if he speaks the truth
he lies" boston Herald.

Virtue and Morality
New YoRK: April 10.-Before
the regular sermon of the day in
Association hall this morning Mr..
Dixon reviewed, from the Chris
tian point Of view, the recent
startling and tragic scandals IN
American society. He said:
The American colony in Paris
was recently shocked by the report
of a pistol from the private rooms
Of an American wife and mother.
A husband had sought to- wash
the stain of dishonor from his
home with the blood of: Of the
gcoundrel who had wrecked it's
happiness.
The echoes of that pistol shot
rang around the CIVILIZED world.
fIt startled many a villain. It
should carry: solemn lesson to
the heart Of the giddy woman Of
society.
Within the past few days two
continents have been again
shocked over the sad revelation of
the disgrace of a proud and
Ehonored name among the social
celebrities of America. Again the
conflict has centered around the
sacred name Of wife and mother.
What makes these incidents of
specially dark import is the. insight
they give in the condition of the
SO called high society of today
that circulates between the Old
and New Worlds.
, AWFUL .cAS10s
A woman correspondent of the
st Louis ost-Dispatch, writing
from Paris and commenting on
lone of these events, says that

THE DOWNFALL OF SOCIETY.


This is sad reading for the
student of the society of today.
If it be true, this is one of the
most startling facts in the history
Of the social order Of the Nine
teenth century. 1t as surely
points to the downfall of such .
social order, as did the stencil
which rose from the decayina
society of Ror.e presage the day
Iwhen Goth and Vandal would
build on the ruins of the city once
mistress of a world.
1t seems to me that there are {
few things plain men and womer
should learn from such facts:
First-That to enter such ,
circle of society is not only not al
honor, but rather to compromis,
ones character for honor, integrity
purity, manhood and womanhood
Second-It is time fathers anc
mothers of wealth learned that te
rear a daughter in one unendln,
whirl of selfish vanity and idl
|idiocies, surrounded by a set o
unprincipled libertines and rakes
is hardly conducive to the pro
duction of a woman fit to presid
lover q home.

just the thing to develope virtue
and manhood and womanhood.

just the thing to develope virtue
and manhood and womanhood.
For nowadays 'sfull dress" l'E
means as nearly undressed as the
police will allow.
Is it Just the thing for women
who claim to be the leaders Of
modern society to habitulallly
appear before men, in their homes
and in public halls, in a condi-
ton of nakedness, whose yulgarity
passes the limits Of sane dis
cussion? If any woman is fool
enough to believe men have not
two eyes in their heads they will
wake to the fact by and by. A
spade is a spade. It is + fact { It: that the t

/ in area that which is seen behind
the footlights. /, am not dog
matiising. simply ask for
information. Does all this ii m make al
pure, strong women and true
men?
FLIRTING FOOLS.
Fourth-Itis time 80 called
high society learned an old, old
truth-that home is the holy OF
holies of human life. The man
who allows libertine, or any
male biped, to enter his home, and
under any pretense of social law
OF custom pay court to his wife,
forfeits the divine right Of his
fatherhood and manhood; and he
merits the contempt of mankind.
The wife who seeks the attention
of other men than her husband is
fool of unfathomable proportion ;
and when she receives the first OF
these attentions by which men
pay court to women, she is leaning
over the brink of the deepest hell
that opens on this earth.
It is a good time to think OF
some of these facts

find his name signed to a call for
a convention early in 1892. That
convention was composed largely
Of Haskellites and those who had
done everything to make the ad-
ministration Of Ben Tillman a
failure, and of those who were
willing to injure their own State if
thereby the peoples administra-
tion could be made odious. We
can't see how any man can be SO
deluded as to place the least con.
fdence in the sincerity of those
who now profess conversion to the
reform measures, whose whole
course heretofore has been one Of
bitter antagonism. Who is there
of those that fought for the eman.

now to surrender his cause, desert
his leaders, and sacrifice all tha

sugar factory was before invested In

claimed, II ought 10 be easy

BE NOT DECEIVED!

Iris all right for political partizans to
advocate their respective views with
enthusiasm, 30 that they keep within
the bounds OF truth as It appears to
them; also TO endeavor TO convince
their opponents, and people who have
not made up their minds, Of the super.
lorlty OF their principles and platforms.
But II Is not right to use any kind Of
coercion or undue influence TO win
votes OF accomplish any political pur.
pose.
We are told that some Jealous advo
Gates Of the respective parties still try
to obtain influence, by pretending that
such and such eminent Church au.
thOrities favor this or that party or
some particular ticket. After the
plain declarations OF our leaders on this
matter, II would seem, In the first place,
that no sane man would attempt u
mislead others on such plea, aud In
the second place, that no man who has
a brain Of his own would he misled In
such manner.
Every member OF this Church hal
the right to choose for himself wha
party he shall Join and what ticket HI
shall vote. And any Dcmocra
or Republican, who pretends TINT la
10 authorized to counsel people or pre-
vail upon them TO vote u particular
ticket, is wlckedly attempting to do
celve, aud deserves to be disciplined io
his false pretences.
The authorities Of this Church hav'
plainly stated their position aud tn,

make them appear in different Hight

playing the role OF n dcceiver snd
