The Rome of Genus.

Few persons who use the phrase
Like the rope of Genus" to denote
prof1tless labor know the significance
of the expression or its great an
tiquity. "The Rope of Genus" was
the name of a picture painted by
Polygnotus, a distinguished Greek,
who died in the fifth century B. G.
He 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
draperies.
Genus was a poor but Industrious
Greek whose extravagant wife spent
money as fast as he could earn 1t,
and he related his troubles to hin
friend the painter. Polygnotus there
upon painted the picture of a man
weaving a rope of straw, while behind
him stood a donkey eating the rope
as fast as 1t was woven. 1t is pleasant
to relate that the silent lesson had the
desired effect upon the wife Of Genus
and that 1t was through her subse-
quent frugality and thrift that Genus
ultimately rose to a position of great
prosperity.-London Globe.
The Penn's Grove record., 1910-06-03
Sheen in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts was once a sheep
raising State, but has lost this indus
try. Figures are being compiled IN
the office of the secretary OF the
State Board of Agriculture, ]. Lewis
Ellsworth, and they indicate that in
a few years the whole flock will die,
In 1850 there were 1850 sheep In
the State, but the number has de-
creased nearly every year so that to-
day there are only about $4,000.
Dogs are said to be the cause OF
this decrease. They chase the sheep
and brighten them so that the owners
find it profitless to attempt to raise
any. 1t is suggested that the indus
try. which is naturally profitable, will
never thrive again in Massachusetts
till a law is passed which will restrain
the dogs. No such legislation has
been asked for in recent year, partly
because of the great sympathy for
dogs that was displayed when at
tempts were made to have them re-
strained temporarily on account or
hydrophobia. The farmers do o
expect that they would be able to
meet that sympathy and opposition
successfully in the Legislature.-Bos-
ton Transcript.
