Popular Fallacies.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The world is controlled more by its
proverbs than IL is by the enactment OF
is lawmakers or the decisions OF IT'S
courts. The ethics Of a nation can be
measured by the code OF its maxims. How
many persons in America have nodded
their actions by remembering the sayings
Of Poor Richard, as published in Ben
Franklin's almanac. Eternity only will
measure the fruits Of these two:
"A stitch in time saves nine" This
stimulates activity at the opportune time
and leads to desired results.
None the less important is the sentI-
ment-
He that at the pillow would thrive
Must either hold or drive"
The import Of this adage has been ex-
empllfed in the career OF every successful
man or woman. Industry and personal
supervision lie at the base of all merito-
rIous thrift
1t is not Of proverbs in general. how
ever. that I desire to speak, but Of that
class of proverbs usually denominated
''fallacies." They are plausible. and
hence are likely to mislead the unthinking.
The first, post hoe ergo propter hoe, is
usually translated after this: therefore
on account of this" II is the kind of
reasoning INDUCED by those who fail to
distinguish between the simple sequence
Of events and those results that bear the
relation OF cause and effect.
For instance. 1t may rain just after the
autumnal equinox. Is It proper 10 say
the rain is in consequence Of the au-
tumnal equinox?

eating drinks may live to be fOur-score
long life to the fact that he has been a
habitual drinker? An equally glazing
failacy may be perpetrated II his age be
attributed to a life wholly sbstemious, so
far as intoxicating drink is concerned
The same shallow reasoning is pre-
scented when a persons condition Is at
tributed to any one circumstance. The
general trend of the life and all the con-
ditions must be weighed before a safe,
trustworthy conclusion Is reached.
A second fallaey, de mortius nil MIST
bonum, usually rendered "Of the dead let
nothing be said except what is favor
able. is more dangerous in it's moral
tendency. 1t Is undoubtedly true that the
truth need not be spoken in its fullness
at all times. Whatever Is said ought 20
be true; but all the truth may not be re-
veaied. Every witness in court is re-
quired TO take an oath TO tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth" Whenever he begins to tell the
whole truth" he Is checked, and com
PEELED by law to violate his OATH
This fallacy, nothing concerning the
dead but good" is classifying human

into the portals OF fame II is no longer
expected that epitaphs. eulogies, and fu-
neral orations shall be true to life Byron.
a proverbIal hater and defamer of the
weaker sex, indicated his snarl in the
sentence
False as woman or an epitaph."
There is a safer and more equitable
plan Modify the proverb, so that it shall
read: Nothing concerning either the
living or the dead but the truth"
Let people know in advance that they
shall be confronted by their records
Think not the thistle seed to cast
And reap the rose full blown,
For men shall reap first or last
The harvest they have sown."
This is in harmony with the unchang-
Ing law OF the universe stamped upon
every living object. material or spiritual:
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
also reap"
1t is time to recognize this law every
where; and then in human life We shall
see the results in an Improved conduct

neral Grafton Will be accepted at it's face

Mail.clad Knights.

Editor Ths Washington Herald
Through the publications Of the Bureau
of Biological Survey the public has re-
Gently been made familiar with the enor-
nous damage done each year by wolves.
Occasionally an added horror is impaired
by the tale of children. and even adults,
failing to return home. whose fate is
afterward revealed by bits Of clothing
scattered over the blood-stained snow
and maybe an empty revolver or Win
chester rife.
The writer has often wondered why the
people interested in lessening these
ravages do not take hint from the por-
cupine or hedgehog
The mail-clad knight. slashing his way
unscathed through a pack of wolves
vainly swapping at mis- armored limbs, is
q familiar figure in stories of the Middle
Ages. Why could not a modern knight
repeat the experiment TO much better
purpose with revolver or magazine rife?
A suit OF armor absolutely impenetrable
TO wolves teeth would probably not
weigh more than fifty pounds, a trife to
a vigorous man.
AS a further disbursement. the armor
might be studded. a la porcupine. with
sharp spines OF steel. just a trihe longer
than the VOLTS CANNES. Such an outfit
would probably not cost much more than
a good suit of clothes, and If the sport
became fashionable. the manufacturers
OF sporting goods would soon eclipse the
fame Of the ancient armorers of Milan.

coutred cap-a-pie. with a pair of snow

miles an hour. This was regarded az
excessive, aud eight miles an hour was
substituted. It passed as amended in the
lower board. The aldermen, however,
thought eight miles an hour too stringent
and the matter has since been held Up.
