LOST CLASSICS.
Not One Work of Menander or varro
Remains to Us.

Remains to Us.
What with barbarism, religious
intolerance and Indifference, little
could have remained to us of the
literatures of Greece and Rome but
for their almost inexhaustible
wealth.
Of Sappho we possess only an ode
or two and quoted fragments. Her
works were burned in the eleventh
century by order Of the great Hill
debrand. Addison says by way Of
consolation that they were ''filled
with such bewildering tenderness
and rapture it might have been
dangerous to give them a reading"
OF 1903 comedies of Greek domes-
tic life, the work of Menander,
writer whose field was never occu-
pied by anybody else and whose
purity Of style Plutarch declares to
have been surpassed by Homer
alone, not even what may be called,
fragment remains. Stray lines are
quoted here and there. Twenty
four of the plays are known to have
existed until the seventeenth cen
fury, when they were erased from
their rolls to make space for the
works of an ecclesiastical writer.
OF the 276 dramas of the great
Greek tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophie
cles and Euripides, only thirty-two
are possessed by the world today.
The brilliant Livy, to whom Ma
caulay, among moderns, is often lik-
ened, wrote 40 volumes or rolls of
his "Annals" of Rome. OF these
only thirty-fve remain to us.
Of the thirty historical volumes
of Tactitus we have four.
Of Pliny the elder, the sole great
naturalist of the Roman race, but
one work has escaped destruction.
Varro, a Latin biographer, placed
by common consent beside the 9th
crwise Incompatible Plutarch, is to-
tally lost to us.
Of Caesars orations, for which
his contemporary fame was as great
as for his generalship or statesman
ship, not one has been preserved
Exchange.

In Memory Of Mrs. Lille Bradley.

4 Dear Lille has gone
On earth we'll meet no more.
She is with her angel mother
On that happy golden shore.
Oh! how we all shall miss her
As the days go passing by;
God knows best. He called our loved on,
To his blessed home on high.
She has left this world Of sorrow
Pain and death no more she'll know
She is waiting by the river,
In her robes as white as snow.
In that home so sad and lonely
Her dear form no more well see.
She has left her babe ana husband,
IT'S Gods will, twas SO to be-
What happy reunion
1t must have been up there.
Meeting Mother, Grandpa and sisters
In that home 80 bright and fair,
Not thing was,left undone
Loving hearts and hands could do.
Oh! it's SO hard TO break that tie
That binds her love to you.
Up In Heaven we hope to meet her
When our earthly task is done,
With a bright smile she will greet US
AS we enter. one by one.
/; Darling Lille, how we loved thee.
I How we miss thee. none can tell.
But the golden cord has severed
And we all must say farewell.

OF INTEREST TO
CONSUMERS OF TOBACCO.
How They Have Been "Joked" Out Of
S45,oOo,O0o.

Washington. March S0.-What is
designated as a "joker' that cost the
consumers of tobacco in this country
nearly $45,000,000 was found today in
the existing revenue laws of the United
States by Representative Dawson Of
Iowa, who at once introduced a bill
to correct the error.
Under the Dingley tariff law the two
ounce packages Of tobacco sen to the
consumer at five cents each and the
four ounce packages for ten cents. In
1898 a war revenue tax of six cents a
pound additional was levied on tobac-
co. AT the same time, in order to
serve the convenience Of the trade, al!-
thorisation was given for the reduction
Of the size of the packages from 2.
and ounces to ! 2-3, 1-R and Is
ounces. thus enabling the smoker TO
procure a five cent and a ten cent
package OF tobacco at the store"
In due time the war revenue tax was
repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr.. Daw-
sor beliey es, to restore the packages of
tobacco to the original sizes and hence
ever since 1902 the consumer OF tobac-
co has been paying the equivalent of
the war revenue tax to the emanufac-
turers of tobacco.
According to figures obtained from
the commissioner of internal revenue,
over thirty-two billion / 2-3 ounce
packages have been sold during the
past six years and over twelve billion
packages of the Ia ounce size. Rep
resentative D-wson figures that the
purchaser OF each small package has
been mulcted out Of olie cent and the
purchaser OF the larger Of two cents
and hence the joker has cost the con-
sumer almost $45, 100000.
Mr.. Dawson's pill proposes to restore
the packages to the original sizes.
