Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1898-10-06

Few popular quotations have more
engaged the pens of critics than the fol-
lowing:
For he that fights and runs away
Will live to fight another day.
These lines are almost universally
supposed to form part of "Hudibras, :"
and so confident have even scholars been
on the subject that in 1884 wager was
made at Bootle of 20 to / that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsiey was referred to as the
arbiter, when he ridiculed the idea of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
EVERY fool knows they are in 'Hudi-
bras
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, TO inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, III what
canto they arc to be found:"
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with 40 better success, and
the sage bibliophiio was obliged 70 con-
fess that q man might be ignorant Of
the author Of this well known couplet
without being absolutely fool" But
Ter mas indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The one that comes
nearest is the following il "HUdibras, :"
book 3, cautO ), verse 243:
For those that fl may fight again,
Which he can never do that : slain.
The fact, however, is that the couplet,
thus enormously ascribed to the author
of "Hudibras, " occurs in q small vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written i'll the reign of Charles
u.--Exchange.

SAWDUST UTILIZED.

Sawdust, says the National Drug
gist, i'm spite of the various uses to
which it has been put in the arts and
industries, still constitutes waste
product, in America at least. 1t has
recently been found, however, that not
only the sawdust but all the refuse of
saw mills may be advantageously util-
lied in the manufacture of calcium
carbid. For this purpose the dust,
ps, slabs, etc, are carbonized by
a rapid and simple process, and in this
condition furnishes a charcoal especi-
ally valuable i'm this direction. The
charcoal is run through an apparatus
for reducing it to a fine powder, and
this latter is mixed with an equal
quantity of quiclllime. and the MKT
ure submitted for ten hours to an cleo
trical current of intensity sufficient
to melt iron. The production of the
carbid commences at once, and in the
stated time is complete, the resultant
material being in masses convenient
to go at once into commerce.
