FAMOUS RIDDLES.

Riddles have perpetual charm
which age cannot wither nor GUS
tom stale, says the Toronto Mail.
Three thousand years ago Samson
propounded the earliest riddle. of
which we have record, to the men
of the Philistines who came to his
wedding feast.
"OuU of the eater came forth
meat, and out OF the strong came
forth sweetness"
"What is sweeter than honey,
and what is stronger than a lion"
These questions give an answer
so little told by the riddle we do
not wonder the Philistines could
not guess it.
Still it caused a woman to weep
through seven days, and these
days of her bridal festivities.
Moreover, as the result of the
riddle and those tears thirty men
lost their lives. Battles which
have changed the destinies Of ma
tions have sometimes cost little
more.
Again, we have the riddle put
blythe Sphinx to Osdipus: "What
animals walk on four feet in the
morning, on two at midday and on
three in the evening"
Oedipus, the first to see its mean
ing, replied:
"Man crawls on all tours in in
fancy, walks on two feet at middle
age, and requires staff in old
age"
Upon hearing this the monster
da shed himself against a stone
and was destroyed, thereby put
ting an end to it's further slaugh-
ter of the Thebans.
Seven hundred and five years
before Christ, Cleobullus, the riddle
and song maker, and one OF the
seven wise men Of Greece, COM
posed this riddle:
"There is a father with twice six
sons; these sons have thirty
daughters apiece, particolored, hav-
ing one cheek white and the other
black, who never see each others
face, nor live above twenty-four
hours"
The answer is "the year."
II it is not irreyerent to apply
modern expression to so ancient a
riddle, Cleobullus undoubtedly
gave himself away in the conclud-
ing clause of his riddle. Coming
down to more recent times, the
riddle of M. Voltaire is worthy Of
mention.
"What is the longest and the
shortest thing in the world, the
swiftest and the slowest, the most
divisible and the most extended ;
| the least valued and the most re-
GREETED; without which nothing
can be done; which devours every
thing, however small, and yet
gives life and spirit to all things,
however great?"
Time answers this thing OF APP
parent contradictions.
Notwithstanding the almost
odor of sanctity which clings to
ancient riddles, we think those OF
today are brighter and more point.
ed.
1t requires no mean effort Of the
mind to guess one Of them. And
the right answer found it brings
the complete satisfaction that fol-
lows the correct solution Of a
mathematical problem.
