A PUZZLED PHILOSOPHER.

Why Should He So Greatly Miss the
Things That Are Not?
A philosopher dwelt in house owned
by Cleon. But one day Cleon came to
the philosopher and said, "Why have
you not sent me the money for last
months rent?" The philosopher said he
knew Of no reason except that he had no
money, having gotten to the bottom of
his purse.
"You will have to move out, said
Cleon, "to make room for cordwainer
1 know who wants this house and has
money"
"Would you, then," said the philoso-
pher, turn me out when am so COM
Portable here, having dwelt in this house
30 years?"
"It is my comfort. said Cleon, land
not yours that 1 consider. Z"
''Then you prefer cordwainer. l
conclude, to a philosopher. y
"No," said Cleon;"a landlord has
90 preference except to prefer rent mon-
sy to no rent money"
So the cordwainer moved into the
philosophers house, and the philosopher
went to live in the mean howell of the
cordwainer.
But once there, although contented
enough, because he was a philosopher,
vet he could not avoid the obtrusive
facts of the absence Of all those things
which in his former habitation had
grown habitual to him.
This was the first thing that puzzled
him-how that which was not could be
SO obtrusive. "What, said he, "can be
so entirely nonexistent as a negation:
And yet here I am confronted with an
obtrusive negation. :"
IT miss, - said he again, "a chest of
drawers, table, fireplace and the
scenery from the window where ! used
to sit Iwonder if it will be so after we
are driven out from our bodies because
death, the final, memorable landlord, de-
mands rental we cannot pay"
In time, however, the philosopher
gradually ceased being oppressed by the
obtrusive memories and grew aocustome
ed to new associations.
ST wonder" said he, eff it will be
SO when we are immortals-after death
at first painful regrets for what we have
lost, and in the end nothing Of the old
but faint memories and new set of as
sociations. I wonder always and Won
der most if philosophy will ever be any
thing better than clever wondering
about the wonderful. Chicago Open

Animals Understand Hygiene.

Enough is now known of the nature
of animal materia medica to excite in
terest and curiosity. There is abundant
evidence that many species know and
constantly make use of simple remedies
for definite disorders, and at the same
time observe rules of health to which
only the highest civilization or the sane
ton of religious prescription compels
man to conform.
It has been noted that the general
condition Of animal health, especially
in the case of the herbivorous creatures,
corresponds not inexactly with that of
such tribes as the Somalis, men feeding
almost solely on grain, milk, dates and
water, living constantly in the open air,
moderate in all things and clearly, be-
cause their religion enjoins constant
additions. Like them, wild animals
have no induced diseases. The greater
number do not eat to excess. They take
regular exercise in seeking their food
and drink only at fixed hours. Many Of
them secure change Of climate, one Of
the greatest factors in health, by mi
grafton.
This is not confined to birds and
beasts, for the salmon enters the soft
water partly to get rid of sea parasites
and returns to the sea to recruit after
spawning. With change Of climate,
change Of diet and perfectly healthy
habits their list of disorders is short,
though they readily fall victims to con-
tagious disease just as recently numbers
