TRUTH OR PARADOX?
Life levels all men; death reveals ii
eminent,

Life levels all men; death reveals the
eminent.
Liberty means responsibility. That
is why most men dread it.
While we have prisons it matters lit
tie which of us occupy the cells.
Titles distinguish the mediocre, en-
barrass the superior and are disgraced
by the inferior
Democracy substitutes election by the
incompetent many for appointment by
the corrupt few.
Do not do unto others as you would
that they should do unto you. Their
tastes may not be the same.
Your word can never be as good as
your bond, because your memory can
never be as trustworthy as your honor.
If you strike child take care that
you strike it in anger, even at the risk
of manning it for life. A blow in cold
blood neither can nor should be forgiv-
en.-From George Bernard Shaw's

A Chinese Superstition.

The Chinese have a remarkable su-
perstition about the Chu river, which
is the local name on the border for the
Chatting. A considerable trade in
drugs is borne along this river, for
which a special class Of boats, COM
posed of very light boards fastened
with wooden nails, is built. The ma
tives say that the magnetic attraction
Of the bed Of the river is SO strong
that were ordinary boats used the iron
nails would be pulled out. Along the
river banks iron is mined in primitive
fashion, and from geological evidence
it is believed that the ore Is very rich.

Experiments made at the Bell Rock
and Skerryvore lighthouses, on the
Scottish coast, have shown that, while
the force Of breakers in the German
ocean may be taken as about ton and
a half on every square foot Of surface,
Atlantic breakers fall with a weight
Of about three tons to the square foot.
On one occasion during a heavy gale
huge blocks of granite and limestone
were washed about like pebbles at the
Plymouth breakwater, carried 200 feet
up it's inclined plane and scattered be-
yond it in all directions. One Of the
blocks weighed nearly two tons.

About the middle Of the eighteenth
century, when it was almost fashion
able among men Of position in Eng
lish society to take to the road as
highwaymen, it was reported that
Twysden, lord bishop Of Raphoe, was
taken suddenly i'll on Hounslow heath.
He was carried thence to a friends g
house and died there Of what was said
to be an internal complaint. The truth
of the matter was, however, that the
bishop had been collecting 1.-THE IN an H.

A very early equivalent Of similar
sound and purpose to the tallyho with
which huntsman now cheers on his
hounds appears in quaint old song
printed in 1870 called "The Death OF
Reynard, the Fox" by Sir William
Young:
He quickly found the cover
Too hot for him to stay,
And soon Ned Callet spied him
Stealing across the way.
''Tolle aux!" then Callet cried
And gave q gibbet shrill
He tossed his brush as who should
say,
"Come, kiss me If you willg'

a fox breaks cover from ''taillis hors, %
