away within its walls. Some Of these
are comparatively recent efforts st en-

wide revolving shades of centuries

WAS king in Egypt in what is known to

wore his golden tiara and sat on the
throne of thrones 1000 years before the

An Ancient Work on Angling.
The greatest work Of antiquity on
angling is said to be the Halieutica Of
Orphan. Greek poet. who fourished in
the time Of Severus. A. D., 1913. from
which we learn that many articles in
fishing thought to be modern were known
to the ancients. We also learn from
Atheneus that several other writers had
written treatises or poems on fishing

A CERTAIN obliqulty of vision seems
to have been entailed upon a great por-
tion of tue human race; indeed, upon all
that portion which seeks by the by-ways
aud crooked paths of existence to cir
cumvent others--to get ahead of their
fellow men by certain shortcuts, doub-
lings, twistings and turnings, which all
true lnen scorn to take. Such men, tc
employ 4 symbol, may always be said to
be "rouDd the corner" and unfortunately
sometimes much money is really made
by being "round the corner" Honesty
is the best policy" 1t is not only the
best policy, but to a true man it is the
only policy. But we are all ''round the
corner" in some way or another. Only
let us be there as little rs We can. Mere
imitation is mean and paltry; bad or
iginal is worth more than a copy, howev-
ever good. Half the ingenuity, and the
pains, and tue shivering anxiety Of the
thief would, rightly directed, have made
him thriving honest man. There raav
be stones in the road, and il may look
a long way, but the path of rectitude is
a pleasant path. There is nothing like
it in the world; nothing can by any
means touch it. Honesty and rectitude
only last.
