PYTHAGORAS.
Epigrams of One of the Earth's
Wisest Men, Old, But
Ever True.

Churchmen of the Middle
Ages worked the memory of
Pythagoras great injustice by
quoting him literally in order to
prove how much they were be-
yond him. Symbols and cpl
grams require a sympathetic
nearer; otherwise they are as
naught.
For instance, Pythagoras re-
marks; "Sit thou not down
upon bushel measure" What
he probably meant was, get
busy and fill the measure with
grain rather than use it for a
seat.
"Eat not the heart" do not
act so as to harrow the feelings
of your friends, and do not be
morbid.
"Never stir the fire with a
sword"-do not inflame people
who are wrathful.
"Wear not the image of God
upon your jewelry"-do not
make religion a proud or boast
full thing.
"Help men to a burden, but
never unburden them" This
saying was used by st. Francis
to prove that the Pagan philoso-
pliers had no tenderness and that
the humanities came at later
date. We can now easily I'M
derstand that to relieve men of
responsibilities is no help; rather
do we grow strong by carrying
burdens.
leave not the mark of the pot
upon the ashes"-wipe out the
past; forget it; look to the flu
ture.
"Feed no animal that has
crooked claws do not encour-
age rogues by supplying them
with a living.
"Eat not fish whose fins are
black" have nothing to do with
men whose deeds are dark.
always have salt upon your
table"-this seems the original
OF "cum grano sails" of the Ro-
mans.
Leave the vinegar at a dis
| tance"-keep sweet.
Speak not in the face of the
sun"-even Erasmus thought
this referred to magic. To us it
is quite reasonable to suppose
that it meant "Do not talk too
much in public places"
"Pick not up what falls from
the table, Plutarch calls this
superstition, but we can just as
easily suppose it was out of con-
sideration for cats, dogs or hun
CRY men. The Bible has a COM
mand against cleaning too close
ly and leaving nothing for the
traveller.
when making a sacrifice
never pare your nails"-that is
to say, do one thing at a time
wind not the clock at an mop
perfume time.
"Eat not in the chariot"
when you travel, travel.
"Feed not yourself with your
left hand" get your living
openly and avoid all left-handed
dealings.-Fra. Hubbard.

Just remember this: Give out
courtesy, kindness, patience and
good will and you'll get them all

The men who deserve to rank

Tokio.-Peasants in the province
of Saselo are hunting for a sacred
dragon which they believe is conceal
ed in the bamboo thickets in that vi
cinity. 1t is certainly bad case OF
brain storm, evidently engineered by
human cupidity. The owner OF the
bamboo thicket claims that he has had
a scored dream, which directed him to
tell his countrymen of the existence
of a dragon with power to cure all
sickness, which inhabited his thicket.
The populace are in state of fervor,
induced by his revelations, and are
hourly making great offerings of rice,
money and meats to the dragon. rms
mythical animal appears to be hard
to satisfy, as the offerings rapidly
disappear without any sign that MS
royal highness Is in any way APP

TWO CENT RATE

BUSINESS MEN BELIEVE THAT
TRADE WILL BE STIMULATED
BY REDUCTION THAT EXTENDS
ALL PRIVILEGES TO ENGLAND.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The agree
ment between the United States and
England. by which the postal letter
rate between the two countries il
reduced from Ave cents to two cents
an ounce, goes into effect today, and
Postmastr General Meyer, who has
brought about the agreement under

Postal Union. is awaiting with in.
terest its effect, II any, this reduction
in the letter rate will have upon the
postal intercourse between the two
countries. He does not, however, ap-
prehend that the cut in the rate will
cause a serious decrease in the postal
receipts, but is confident that the
lower rate will SO greatly stimulate
commercial and private correspond
ence between the two countries that
It will more than compensate for the
difference In the postal rate.
The proposition of reducing the
letter postal rate between the United
States and Great Britain had been
agitated Tor some time by the mer-
chants OF the two countries, but the
American postal authorities were not
inclined to make the desired reduc-
tion. fearing that it would cause a
serious cut in the postal receipts.
Postmaster General Meyer strongly
favored the reduction and was warm
ly supported by President Roosevelt.
He approached the British postmast-
er-general, Sidney Buxton, and met
with favorable response. TIE con-
clusion Of the agreement was hast
'ened by the action Of the Universal
Postal Union which. on October I,
1907, reduced the universal inter-
national postal between the coun-
tries belonging to the union, from
five cents fiat for every half-ounce
to Ave cents for the first half ounce
