Horace As a Wine Agent.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Professor Ferrero of Turin has been warmly received in this country because of his remarkable historical writings. His history of Rome now in course of publi- cation gives some entirely new view points on the grandeur and decline of the empire. He appears as an iconoclast in many directions but nothing has stirred the people quite so much as his declar- ation that Horace was not an inspired poet, but paid wine agent for the vineyards of Maecenas. There is no de- nying that this comes a blow. If true we must revise the college cirrculum in the interest of morality and truth.
 We are we'll aware that Horace was not an independent genius. He proclaims on many occasions his indebtedness to Macenas and praises his wine without stint, but this has always been looked upon as the natural tribute of Q man of letters to his patron. In those days book publishing was expensive and the poet who wasn't backed by a rich man had as hard a time as Oliver Goldsmith many centuries later. But Ferrero insists that Horace was simply a clever adver- Using writer the first and best of his class. We must admit that in these days we have some very bright minds in the advertising business, but no one has reached the level of Horace as a writer of lyrics.
 So when we read in one of the famous lyrics Horaces admonition to drown care in wine.' he was not speaking as a philosopher, but as q wine agent for a special vintage. When he praises Maecenas and suggests opening a new cask 1t was for publication only and not as a guarantee of good faith. The ode addressed to ''matre pulcra fila pull crior' was doubtless accompanied by one of the poems setting forth the virtues of the ancient substitute for champagne. We presume that a correct picture of those days would disclose Horace sitting in a cafe amid a lot of admiring friends and ordering wine, "The Maecenas vint- age mind you waiter, no other; that is the best" which was duly ordered and paid for by admirers.
 If all this is true must admit that these isn't anything new under the sun. Pretty soon shall expect to hear that Maecenas furnished Horace with an auto mobile and an aeroplane witb flaming inscriptions in the best Latin literature and that he took ladies (of whom he seems to have been excessively fond) rid ing in an advertising wagon of the most approved character Well. well, well We wonder if Cicero wasn't also an ad vertsing agent in spite of his bad tenn per. This would explain some hitherto ipe4plicable events in singular caresr. What pity there weren't frst-class newspapers in those days in which to exploit such remarkable genius!

 The superintendent of a Sunday school class in Philadelphia recently called upon q visitor to 'say few words" to be class, the members of which are mostly children of tender age.
 The visitor, speaker well known for his verbose and circumlocutory mode of speech, began his address as follows.
 '"rhis morning, children, I purpose to offer you an .eptome of the life of St. Paul It may be perhaps that there are among you some too young to grasp the meaning of the word 'epltome. 'Epitome, chilcren, is in it's signifcation synony- sIlous with synopsis
