The Rome of Genus,

Few persons who use the phrase
Like the rope of Genus" to denote
profltless labor know the significance
of the expression or its great an
tiquity. The Rope of Genus was
the name of a picture painted by
P~olygnotus, a distinguished Greek
who died in the fifth century B. c..
H is reputed first to have given life,
character and expression to painting.
According to Pliny he opened the
mouth and showed the teeth of his
figures, and he was the first to paint
women figures with transparent dra-
peries.
Genus vas a poor but Industrious
Greek whose ~eXtravagant wife spent
money as fast as he could earn it, and
he related his troubles to his friend
the painter. ~Polygnotus thereupon
painted the picture of a man weaving
a rope of straw, while behind him
stood a donkey eating the rope as
fast as it was woven. 1t is pleasant
to relate that the silent lesson had
the desired effect upon the wife of
Genus and that it was through her
subsequent frugality and thrift that
Genus ultimately rose to a position of
great prosperity.

DYSPEPSIA AS TIME SAVER
According to This, Undesirable AiL
ment Is Positive Benefit to Man
Who Has to Work.

One has so much more time on
ones hands when ones appetite is
bad than when it is not. Eating does
not take up much time apparently,
and yet when one is eating nothing
the days are SO long and SO much
gets itself done. OF course, one does
not waste any time in being hungry;
there is that to be thought of. One
Toes not for three-quarters of al hour
before each meal prowl around ex-
claiming: Luncheon is not ready?
1t isn't? How queer! Yes, | know it
is not n by any of the clocks, but it
feels fearfully one to me. l think on
the whole you better give me a but
tered roll" There is that three-quar-
tiers of an hour saved. Then there is
The actual time of eating which is
sometimes unconscionably long, as
well as all the time one would spend
in digesting if one had eaten anything
worth digesting. Added to this there
are a number of odd minutes picked
up during the afternoon which would
otherwise have been spent in regret
ting that one had eaten so much and
determining not to do it again. Alto
gether, dyspepsia is as %efficaeious a
time saver as anything at the moment
thought of. Not sleeping well ought
to help out tremendously; but it does
not, for if loses three hours sleep
at night n takes up IA waking
hours in explaining what a martyr one
is, giving a minute description of how
sleepy n feels, and this, combined
with n or two little maps one has
to take, wastes time ~shockingly. All
mention of the time spent in con-
vincing people that one was awake
three hours, in spite of the fact that
n did not hear a single clock strike
the quarter hour, has been purposely
left out.

BOYS WERE NOT PAMPERED
Spartan Simplicity the Keynote OF
Life In English Schools a
Century Ago.

Coleridge's record of the meals at
Christ's hospital in his school days
gives a detailed picture of what was
one thought good enough for grow
ing boys: "Our diet was very scanty.
Every morning a bit of dry bread, and
some bad small beer. Every evening
a larger piece of bread and cheese or
butter, whichever we liked. For din
ner-on Sundays, boiled beef and
broth; Monday, bread and butter, and
milk and water; Tuesday, roast NUT
ton; Wednesday, bread and butter,
and rice milk; Thursday, boiled beef
and broth; Friday, boiled mutton and
broth; Saturday, bread and butter and
pease porridge. Our food was por-
toned, and excepting on Wednesdays
l never had a b~ellyful. Our appetites
were damped, never satisfied, and we
had no vegetables"
The h%ardships of life at Elton in the
old days were aggravated by bullying
which, in the words of one of the vic
tins, sometimes amounted to "a
reign of terrorism" Provost Okes OF
Kings college, Cambridge, contributed
the following story:
"In July, 1926, contemplating matri'
mony, I went to the University Life
Insurance society for a policy l went
before the board-some sixteen men
You are a fellow of Kings, | see, Mr.
Okes, from your papers, Yes, sir.
I infer, then, necessarily that you
were at Elton and in college? Yes
sir How long were you in college?
Eight years. Where did you sleep?
In Long Chamber, sir All the time?
Yes, sir We needn't ask Mr., Okes
any more questions And they die
not" 1t meant, as the Provost said
eff you passed eight years in Lon&
Chamber and are alive at 20, you are
a fairly safe ife."-London Daily
Chronicle.

WHERE SCRIPTURE is SILENT
Philadelphia Supplied the Omission,
and Most Men Will Think He Did
Exactly Right.

An elderly man of Philadelphia,
who is noted for his piety, was ac-
costed the other evening at a lonely
spot on Allegheny ayenu as he was
returning from service and grossly in
suited with respect to his religious be-
lief.
At first he paid no attention to the
insults and tried to pass on. The
other man would not permit it, how
ever, and grew more abusive, con-
Guiding by giving the old man a sting
ing slap in the face. The old mans
patience gave way at this and he
spoke angrily to the fellow.
This seemed to be what the rufian
desired, and he retorted by saying
hat instead OF getting angry, the old
man, according to Scriptural injunc-
ton, should have turned the other
cheek.
He did so, and was promptly re-
warded by another singing blow.
Now" said the injured man, "the
Scripture does not tell us what to do
next, but I will show you" With
that he suddenly seized the rowdy by
the collar ard beat him numerically
with the heavy cane that he carried,
and then went on his way.

SWORDFISH WEATHER VANE
Still Pointing to Wind, as 1t Long Has
Done, on Block Island
Barn.

"There are more hotels at Block
Island now than when | vas there
some years ago, and more people,"
said a man just back, "but | found at
least one familiar object there that
pleased my eye, that being an old

"On the road running to the south
from the islands center of population
to the remarkable clay bluffs that rise
to the height of a hundred feet or
more along the islands southern shore
there is a barn above whose cupola
turns a homemade wooden vane fash
toned in the form Of a swordfish. The
hardy fishermen of Block Island hunt
, the swordfsh, as well as every other
sort of fish that finds a home in or
that trayerses these waters, and here
the swordfish weather vane seems
not only striking but strikingly appro-
pirate.
"The vane Is about six feet In
length, which to be sure would be
small for a swordfish, but which is
big for a weather vane; and there It
was still, the only swordfsh vane |
ever saw, and a pleasure it was to
see it still there and still turning
easily and as ever pointing true to the
wind"

YOUTHFUL VICTIM OF CUPID
And the Boy Was Ready With the Elk.
cuse That Has Done Duty for
So Many Centuries.

John Duncan Is six years old, and
lives in a nice, comfortable house at
No. 2056 East Ninetieth street, says
the Cleveland Leader. He started in
to get an education at Bolton school
not long ago, but the beauty Of a lit
tie girl of about his W age proved
far more attractive to him than did
anything that his patient teacher
could offer. Whenever the opportunity
came this youthful lover would steal
over to his hearts desire and fairly
smother her with true lovers kisses.
In vain did the teacher protest
against these ardent manifestations Of
affection. The kisses multiplied in
number and increased in their warmth
until finally a note was sent to Johns
father, who is an erudite and dis.
tinguished lawyer with Offices in the
Perry.Payne building.
why, my boy" said the father,
seriously, "how could you disobey
your teacher?"
The six-year-old Lochinvar made no
reply.
why did you keep on kissing this
little girl?"
We'll, papa" said Johnny, joyous
ly, "she certainly did look good to
me-"
And the inquisition ended then and
there.

NOT so MUCH OF A WAITER
Genial Philosopher Proved That He
Had College Professors Record
Beaten to a FRAGILE.

There's man for you" said lit
tie Binks, putting aside his morning
paper. This paper has a story of a
college professor who met a beautiful
girl twenty years old, fell in love with
her at first sight, and then lost sight
of her altogether. Now, after waiting
20 years, he is rewarded by leading
her to the altar as his bride. Just
think of it, waiting 20 years for a
wife"
what of it?" asked the genial phil
osopner. There's nothing extraordi-
nary about that. I've waited 80 years
for mine"
you? Waited 35 years? Why, l
thought you'd been married that long"
said little Rinks.
II have" said the genial philosopher.
That's how l know how long I've
waited. I've waited for her to get her
gloves on about three years. I've wait
ed for her to change her hat about
four years. I've waited while she said
just one last word to the cook for at
least five years; I've waited upstairs;
I've waited downstairs; I've waited at
church; I've waited at the theater,
and l have waited in cabs, omnibuses,
takes, motor cars and the Lord knows
what else besides. Fact is, Binksy,
I've waited so long, SO often and so
regularly that between you and me
that little college professor Of yours,
with only one wait of 20 years, strikes
me as a miserable little piker."-
