A Riddle MAKING Epoch.

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially
in vogue, and such epochs would ap-
pear to occur at seasons of fresh in
tellectual awakening. Such an epoch
there was at the first glimmering OF
new intellectual light in the second
half of the seventh century. This was
the age of Aldhelm. bishop of Sher-
borne. the first in the roll of Anglo
Latin poets. He left a considerable
number of enigmas in Latin hexame-
tiers. .Aldhelm died In 1909. Before
his time there was collection of Lat
in riddles that bore the name of Sym
phosius. OF this work the date Is I'M
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used it. and we may infer that it was
then a redkht product. The riddles of
Symphosius were uniform in shape,
consisting each of three hexameter
lines.-Cornhill Magazine.

TRUE STANDARDS OF LIFE.
The Measure of Man Is What He Is,
Not What He Has.

NOT What ne F1aS.
1t takes so long to learn how to live
so long to get even a glimmering of
what life is for and what we ought to
do with ours We are so prone to live
in the future. to fret ourselves about
it. We are SO busy yearning for the
joys we imagine other people have and
worrying about the trouble we imagine
we are having that we make OF the
present. the one thing we are sure OF.
an endless regret.
And Of all the follies the limit Is to
permit some one else to make our
standards for us. Haven't we tntelli-
gence? Can't we think for ourselves?
To want things we don't need, many
we do not really care for. just because
some one else has them and wouldn't
understand IL we didn't have them! To
struggle and strain to make a show
when all the neighbors know it is only
show and would respect us a heap
more If we had the courage to be our
selves. Deaths standards ought to be
life's standards. Death does not ask
how big house we hail from. nor how
many university degrees we have won,
nor what is our bank account. Not
what we have nor what we know, but
what we are. And that's our measure
of every body but ourselves.-Erman J.
