Why 1881 Was Chosen.

In 1881 a so called prophecy of Moth
er SYMPTOMS was in every ones mouth:
The world then to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
A travelling tailor denied inspiration
to this prognostic, nor. as now appears.
was 1t remarkable for accuracy. But
he went further. He demonstrated in
the dust of the road why that exact
date was chosen. Not only was il
cabalistic, a multiple Of nine, etc, but
1t was the only date available to Moth
er Shipton which in Arabic numerals
was the same backward, forward and
upside down. Eleven hundred and
eleven was past, and not till 1881 would
the coincidence recur. The next Moth
er Shipton will select S00S, which il
not tomorrow or next day.-London

became dominant in Rome and since
the Roman government prided itself on
opening public baths and washhouses

the rich and their luXuries. attributed
to them the high prices of necessaries,
In language almost identical with a
radical newspaper of today. Plautus
tells us of the trusts that were founded
to control prices, and the trust prob

Rome as 1t is today.
capital and labor were highly or
ganized, and labor was indefatigable
In its efforts to secure special privileges
for its guilds. There were benefit soci-
cites, burial societies and insurance SO
cieties. The man in the street talked
then Just as he talks now. He discuss
ed the claims of rival political candi-
dates, he studied the political plat
forms, he read the advertisements IN
public places, and he protested against
their DETACHMENT of the scenery. 1t Is
indeed hard to find a single feature Of
modern life, a single reform, single
problem, without its counterpart in an
Client Rome.

slang. A slave in play of Plautus
says: DO you catch ong Genesl. III
