THE GOLDEN RULE.
A Sentiment That Was Established
In Very Early Days.

A Sentiment That Was Established
In Very Early Days.
Was the golden rule expressed by
Jesus, and if so, by whom? Yes; this
sublime sentiment has been expressed
before and after Christ by many Jews
and heathens. Thus Diogenes Laeti-
us relates that Aristotle (died 322 B.
c., being asked how we ought to con-
duct ourselves toward our friends,
answered: "As we would wish that
they would carry themselves toward
u.s." Isocrates, who lived 400 years
before the publication of the gospel,
said: 1--WE must not do to others that
which would cause anger if it were
done to ourselves" Rabbi Hillel,
(who lived from 20 B. G. till 10 A. d.
said to heather who wished to be-
come jew: what is hateful to thy
self thou shalt not do to thy neighbor.
This is the whole law and the rest is
commentary" (Tamud Shabbah, fol.
3, col. ~ Krishna: cease to do evil.
aim to do well; love your enemies; 1t
is the law of love that virtue Is the
only thing that has strength" Bud
dha; "As even at the risk of her own
life a mother watches over her Child,
her only child, so let him (the Budd-
hist exert good will without measure
toward all beings" Lao-tsze, the pre-
decessor of Con fucius: Rejoice
at the success of others, and sympa-
thize with their reverses, even as
though you were in their place"
Confucius: Tsze-Kung asked, say

serve as a rule of practice for all ones

procity such word? What you do
not want done yourself do not to

would not have your neighbor do unto
you" &c. 94.) Socrates"Act toward
others as you would have others act
toward you; forgive yeur enemies; do
good for evil" etc. In the apocry-
phal book of robit, which is assumed
to have existed before the beginning of
the Christian era, we read the maxim

A PREVENTATIVE OF FAMILY
FAIRS

With great tact Florence Hull Win
terburn, in the January WOman's
Home Companion, handles the sub
ject Of family quarrels under the cap
ton, "A House Divided Against It's
elf"
'Most family quarrels are FRACTIONAL
disturbances that the oil of affection
would smooth out, if we but knew it.
And most breaks between married peo-
pie could be healed by time, if they
would only give time a chance. Be-
tween a man and woman once bound
together by this tie there are memories
potent enough to draw them together
through CULTS of discord, if they only
have been wise enough to be loyal to
one another in the respect of silence
as to what belongs to themselves. 1t
should be in the marriage service it it
would do any good, this vow of ST.
lence about each others fault. The
old formula, for better for worse.
means nothing to most who repeat it,.
They mean in the hearts not TO nut
up with worse.
but we have to put up with some
thing wherever we are in the world.
and the question is shall we not do
better to stand by our choice in life.
like brave soldiers, loyal to color and
earn the respect of the world, rather
than exhibit the miseries our poor
Judgment has brought upon us, and
gain only approbrium in consequence ?
For publicity doubles trouble.

have briefly outlined the salient points
of this gigantic scheme, which to many
may sound as if bodily taken from the
romancing of Jules Verne, but it is in fact
a genuine project planned by shrewd, far
seeing men, investigated and approved by
known practical physicists and engineers,
and backed by very large and cautious
capital. Certain details have vet to be
arranged before the matter can be made
public in the sense of incorporating and
exploitation. A scheme of such colossal
proportions and involving the investment
of millions of capital calls for careful
consideration of every feature. Legal
advice is absolutely necessary to provide
against future annoyance in the determin-
alton of property rights, and ii has been
determined by the syndicate to obtain

When Gibraltar was taken by the Eng
lish is 1704 the greatest range for artillery
fire was only about 5000 yards, so that a
fleet under the batteries of Gibr altar was
secure against attack from the Spanish
coast.
1t is now pointed out that with COM
paratively small expenditure OF money by
the Spanish Government batteries con-
structed in the bay OF Algeciras upon the
dge OF mountains known as the Ouee n
of SPAIN Chair, would actually comm and
Gibraltar at a distance of 5000 yards and
would be capable OF demolishing the whole
length of the Qualifications from the Gal
leries TO Europa Point. These Spanish
batteries would also threaten the entry of
ships OF war to Moles. This plan would
merely involve the mounting of some
forty heavy guns of from 4.7-inch to
12-inch caliber and a similar number of
howitzers.
At the present moment the strategical
points on this part of the Spanish coast
are entirely unfortihed, and with Spain's
present embarrassments in Cuba and the
Philippines it is not likely, as the Broad
Arrow points out, that the Madrid Gov

be constructed some day or other is far
from i'm probable, and in view of the great

and complexion varying, the eye holds
you captive and then laughs at your
very chains.
Black eyes Of course are typical OF fire,
heroism and firmness, and have q spice of
diabolism in their rays that has potent
attraction in women's hearts. And green
eyes; it is said of them that they betoken
courage, pride and energy.
A prominent or full eye indicates great
command OF language and ready and uni
versal observation, Deep-seated eyes, on
the contrary, receive more accurate, def
mite and deeper impressions. Round-eyed
persons see much. They live much in the
senses, but think less. Narrow-eyed per-
sops see less, but think more and feel
more intensely.
Width OF the lower eyelid is believed to
indicate disposition to extenuate and to

Eyebrows may be thick or thin, fine or
coarse, smooth or bushy, arched or
straight, regular or irregular, and each
form and quality has its special signif-
canoe in reference to temperament and
character.
Thick, strong eyebrows generally betray
full development of temperament. When
also coarse, bushy and irregular we may
expect harshness of character. Thin,
fine, delicate eyebrows are indicative of a
fne-grained organization and an active, if
not predominant, temperament,
