Opinions of the Wise.

Socrates thought that If all our mis-
fortunes were laid in one common
heap, whence everyone would take an
equal portion. most persons would be
contented to take their own and de-
part.
When Demaratus was asked wheth-
er he held his tongue because he was
a fool or for want of words, he replied,
"A fool cannot hold his tongue"
Pittacus said: Everyone Of you
hath his particular plague, and my
wife is mine; and-he is very happy
who hath this only"
Marcus Aurelus asserted: How
much time he gains who does not look
to see what his neighbor says or does
or thinks, but only at what he does
himself to make it just and holy
Aristippus, being asked what were
the most necessary things for we'll
born boys to learn, said. Those
things which they will put in practice
when they become men,"
Simonides said that he never repent
ed that he had held his tongue, but Of
ten that he had spoken.
Aristotle was once asked what those
who told lies gained by it. Said, he,
That when they speak truth they are
not believed"
Marcus Aurelius said: Let not thy
mind run on what thou lackest so much
as on what thou hast already"
Sophoclcs said: Think not that thy
word, and thine alone, must be right"

The Uganda Mission.

From darkest Africa, in 1875, Stanley
sent out the challenge, through the
London Daily Telegraph. Now, where
in all the pagan world is there Il more
promising field for a mission? Here,
gentlemen, is your opportunity; en-
brace it," Three days later the chal-
lenge was accepted. A gift of $4,000
was offered for the establishment of a
mission in Uganda, and men went
forth to lay down their lives in the
land of Livingstone. 1t was not only
the fever that killed them. Uganda
had extraordinary tragedies. Among
the rest was the death of the mission
ary Bishop Harrington. who was muir
dered by an African chief by command
of the wicked King Mwanga. Mwanga
was the son of the king who first
greeted the missionaries in 1871.
Mtesa, the father bade them hearty
welcome and was very deSlrous to
know whether they had brought the
Book with them. But his friendship
was tickle, and the son who succeeded
him was both a worse man than his
father and a weaker one, and under
his reign the missionaries were often
in peril of their lives. and some Of
them, like Harrington. met martyr
dom.
1t was a most diScOuraging sequel to
the welcome accorded the missionaries
by Mwanga's father and there were
those in England who proposed to give
up the mission altogether. BY that
time Mackay was there. and by his
courage and tenacity and the faithful
devotion of others the mission con-
tinued.
The son Of the king who welcomed
the missionaries became the murderer
Of the missionaries. But he, too. had
son. In 1885 Harrington was muir
dered. Twenty-one years later, in
1906. the son of Harrington baptized
the present king. son Of the man who
murdered his father Here. surely
was an example Of poetic justice and
a proof of the value Of holding on.
Religion has a firm hold in Uganda
today. and thousands attend worship
every Sunday Those who endured the
prosecutions of twenty years ago re-
joice that times have changed.
The life of Harrington was not
thrown away. Men die. but the work
lives. There is a verse in the Psalms
which is full of promise for genera
tionS that have reached the limit Of
their upward progress: Instead of thy
fathers shall be thy children. whom
thou mayest make princes in all the
Companion.

RICH cARGoEs OF GOLD.
Spanish GalIeons Laden With Riches
SPORTS For the Buccaneer.

Spanish Galleons Laden With Riches,
Sports For the Buccaneer.
The galleons (the name is corrup-
ton of galley and Is from the Greek,
but the origin Is lost) were variously
designated, says writer in Scribnera
There were register ships" privileged
merchantmen, so called from being
registered at CadiZ; "avisos,' dispatch
and mail ships with regular monthly
sailing between ports, which seldom
carried treasure, but were eagerly
sought for the information in their
mail bags Of galleon movements; the
"azogues" were the quicksilver ships
that carried from Spain the mercury
necessary for smelling and refining in
the mines Of Mexico and Peru; the
''fota" was the fleet which sailed from
Cadiz to Cartagena, in what Is now
Colombia: and the Spaniards called all
ships "galleons" which sailed annually
to Vera Cruz in Mexico. The English
called them variously treasure ships
and plate fleets" from the fact that
much Of the treasure carried was in
the form Of rough metal plate and pig
A comparison Of the value Of the car
goes carried by the fota and galleons
Is interesting or gold, to the 100000
crowns carried by the galleons, the
fota carried but 100000: Of silver,
the galleons carried 10000 crowns, the
hota 10000 Of jewels, so called, the
galleons carried usually about 10000
crowns worth Of pearls, 100000 crowns
worth Of emeralds, 10000 or 10000
crowns worth Of amethysts and other
less valuable stones (these figures in
clude, however, the East Indian ships),
the fiota carried none; Of woods, the
gallleon cargoes Appropriated 10000
or $4,000 crowns worth, the fiota
none; of quinquina, the galleons 10000
or 10000 crowns worth; the fota
none; of Campeachy woods the GAL
Icons $4,000 crowns worth, the f1ota
none: and of skins and leather, the
galleons about 10000 crowns worth
and the fiota a like quantity. The reg
lister ships from Beunos Ayres usually
carried a cargo Of skins and leather
valued at 100000 crowns and 100000
crowns worth of indigo. This differ
ence in value did not last for long af-
ter the treasure ships began to be the
prey of all mankind, then the cargoes
were shipped indiscriminately provid-
ed only the vessels were strong and
fast or in large fleets.

They looked 1t over 1t had earth In
its nails, its ears, and its nose. Then
they made the earth from this ground.
They mixed it with chyu seeds and
from this they made the earth. After
six days the eagle said to the wolf:
Now go around" Then the wolf went
where the Sierra Nevada now Is and
around to the west and came back
eagle said: DO not touch it for six
days. Let it dry first" All the peo-
pie said: VERY well, we will let 1t be-
come dry" But soon Coyote said: i
will try It, 1t is getting hard now
He travelled along where the Sierras
are. That is why these are rough and
broken now. 1t Is from his running
over the soft earth. Then the ca
gle and Coyote sent the people to diff
ferent places. They said: You go to
that place with your people. You go
to that spring" So they sent them OF
and the people went to the different
places where they are now. They were
still animals. but they became people.
For a little while after they had all
gone the eagle and Coyote stayed
there.
Then Coyote said: where will you
go?" The eagle said: II am thinking
about it. think I will go up" Coyote
said: Where shall live?" The eagle
said: Here" But Coyote said: mo,
I will go with you." The eagle told
him: mo, you must stay here. You
will have to look after this place
here" So they talked for six days.
Then the eagle took all his things.
"Good-by," he said, Il am going
Then he went Coyote looked up. He
said II am going. too" You have
no wings. You cannot" said the ca
gle. Il will CO." said Coyote ard he
went Now they are together in the
sky above.
Another interesting myth Of the CAL
ifornia Indians concerns the origin of
fire Several tribes give the jack-rab-
bit credit for having handed 1t down
for future generations to cook with
The rabbit had gone far to the west
where there was a man who had fire
"and he had it all" Others had gone
before the rabbit and had failed. When
the rain came which had foiled the
others, he burrowed in the thick brush
and held the fire close under him
That's what makes his palms black to
this very day. The first woman, ac-
cording to another myth, was deer
OF course, there Is no pun in that. The
Yokuts Indians say that the owl was
the first doctor. Coyote pretended to
be one, but his patients did not re-
cover.
Other myths contain frequent refer
ences to stars and consultations Some
of them are very much like the stories
which have been handed down by
tribes that lived much further east, fol
instance, the Pawnees, Blackfeet and
IApapahoes.

TASTING THE TsAR's DINNER.
No Food Placed on the Royal Table
Until Officially SAMPLED.

Ontli OHlclaliy oaWpieo.
The kitchens In which the food Of
the Great White Tsar' is prepared are
extraordinary for the elaborate pre-
cautions taken to prevent any Of his
household tampering with his food
says Tit-Bits. The kitchens them
selves present the appearance of a
strong room of a modern bank, guard
ed by u regiment of soldiers. rather
than the culinary department Of a
royal palace.
Even the chef-M. Eugene Kratz-
who presides over the imperial kitch-
ems, enjoying a salary OF 100000 a
year, and social privileges equal to
those of a general Of the Russian army,
is not to be envied in his peculiar po-
sition.
AS soon as dinner or luncheon Is
ready to be placed on the emperors
table, a very elaborate system Of "tast-
ing" has to be gone through; and when
the tsar Is in residence at Peterhof, not
only M. Kratz himself, but also his
under chefs and certain high officials
of the imperial army are called in to
taste every dish that goes to the en-
perors table, after which experiment
a reasonable time Is permitted to
elapse to see whether or not the "tas-
ters" are poisoned. This curious sur
vival of other days comes from the
time of Ivan the Terrible.
When the meals prepared for his
majesty are served. M. Kratz himself
begins to taste; and after the strange
poisoning" interval has elapsed the
dishes are placed in an electric eleVa-
tor with a closed shaft, into which the
military officials are locked, and up
goes the lift to the ante-chamber OF
the imperial dining room. Here again
the major on duty samples the dishes
under the eyes of the tsar. after which
the imperial family sit down to dinner.
No dish ever served on the tsar's ia
BILE Is permitted access to the dining
room save through the elevator smart
Thus the food can In no way be tam
pered with save by the cooks them
selves and the military officials on
duty. 1t has been said by an author
| ity that the imperial family Of Russia
in bygore times sat down to their
meals in a dining room constructed OF
cast-iron and steel, for all the world
| like a bank vault. This, however, Is
not the case now; but elaborate pre-
cautions still have to be made to pre-
vent the enemies Of the tsar carrying
out their plots against his life.
