inventors and Philosophers.

Mere invention was regarded as
somewhat vulgar in ancient times.
Archimedes made little of his me-
chanical inventions. They were OILY
the amusements of geometry, he said ;
and only at the behest of his sovcr-
eign did he consent to give practical
expression to the many wonderful
schemes with which his brain teemcd.
And when Eudoxus and Archytas
took seriously to mechanics. they
were denounced by Plato as corrupt
ing and debasing the excellence of
geometry, by mallint her descend
from intellectual to corporeal things.
The inventor was long thereafter
despised by the philosophers. and me
chanics regarded simply as branch
OF military art.

portions in various life sustaining
substances. Thus, weight for weight,
bread contains more carbon than
meat, and meat more nitrogen than
bread. These theoretical considera-
tions are borne out by observed
facts. Modern researches have shown
that there Is an intimate relation sub
sisting between the quality and guam
tity Of food taken and the kind of

eventually transformed. Hence

1t is well known rule among
ciergymen not to take a fee from
dominic for marrying him. The gen
Cral custom is. however. for the best
man to go through the usual form and
present the ofiiciating clergyman with
ar envelope containing the fee. The
minister then pays a graceful compIi-
me to the bride and presents the en-
velope to her. Aware of this custom.
the young minister thought he would
make big showing before his bride
and placed 500 in the envelope. smil-
ing in anticipation of her surprise
when she should open 1t and see what
her lover was willing to pay for be-
ing united to her.
The young mans CONSERVATION can
be imagined when the other clergy
man calmly pocketed the envelope
and made no movement to return 1t.
The officiating minister had heard
glowing reports of the rich bride his
Young friend was getting and decided
that the fee would do him more good
than the newly married couple. and
therefore for once departed from the
usual rule. The bridegroom is still
sore about the 800. but the joke was
too good for the best man to keep to
himself.-Philadelph Record.

OF course. there are other things be-

There are some good shops where
they sell Dresden china and picture
photographs and a few other things
that do not matter. Then there is the
Brulsche tarrasse. 1t is a high ter
race, running along the right bank OF
the E1be. which. at Dresden. is some
thing else wide than the Thames at
Westminster. 1t was built by n long
dead minister. named Bruhl, as part
OF his private gardens and it proves
him to have been man of taste.

Doctors tell us that handkerchief may
