No Royal Road.

Euclid, the famous Greek mnthe-
matician, was asked one day by King
Ptolemy whether there was not n
shorter and easier way 20 the knowl-
edge of geometry than that which he
had laid down in his elements.
"No, indeed" said he; there is no
royal road to geometry"
In the same spirit, when Alexander
the Great wanted TO learn geometry
by some easier and shorter method,
he was told by his teacher that "he
must here be content to travel the
same road with others, for all things
of this nature are equally difficult to
prince and people."-Golden Days.

In Complete Failure.

UP to this moment 1t is not known
officially that single one of the
powers represented in the conference
has ratified the three conventions pre-
pared there.

milk was the same, in which case some-
body-the patrons-got badly swindled;
for a quart OF the 4 % milk could be in
creased by the addition of water over
one-third and still be better than the
3 per cent milk. In other words, If the
3 per cent milk was worth 5 cents a
quart, the 4.25 milk was worth at least
Z cents. Buyers of milk should insist
upon difference of price when there is
such variation of test.
