wealthy agriculturist was appointed
minister of marine. Being a hard

lars of the fleet. The secretary brought
him particulars about the only war
ship. The details gave length, tonnage
and horse power. At this last the min
lister stopped the secretary and bade
him write down quickly an order to
the chief Of customs, Take out these
120 horses at once. and will send you
good mules in their places" explaining
that mules were much more econom-
ical, both as regards food and ability
to withstand fatigue.

Apollo was the old god of music, and

the Greeks in olden times, and from it
was fashioned the harp.
