The Seven Wise Men of Greece.


The seven wise men of Greece were
Thales of Miletus. Fernandez of Cor
NTH. Cleobulus of Lyndus. Chilon Of
Lacedaemon. SoIon of Athens. Bias of
Prienne and Pittacus Of Mitylene.
Some fishermen of Miletus sold draft
of fishes to q bystander. When the
net was dra wn In it contained a golden
tripod. and the purchaser claimed 1t
was his, while the fishermen contend
ed that they sold only the fish that
might be in the net. The dispute was
referred to the oracle OF Delphi, who
awarded the tripod to the wisest man
In Greece. Thereupon it was taken to
Thales, who declined 1T and suggested
that 1t be given to Bias. He In turn
refused to accept 1t, and thus It was
successfully declined by all the seven.
and they were thereafter known as the
seven wise men of Greece.

A CUP OF COFFEE.
It Has No Value as Food. but IT Has q
Stimulating Effect.

Stimulating Effect.
The infusion of coffee presents prac-
t1cally very little material that Is OF
direct nOurlshlng value, says d writer
I'D the London Tablet, out by diminish
ing nervous fatigue. by virtue chiefly
Of the caffeine present. II may Increase
muscular power. Ii Is not itself Il
builder OF tissue. The use OF coffee
after dinner 1t Is OF interest to note
Is justified In large number of cases
by the fact OF its stimulating effect
upon the vital centers. and u is said
TO serve to some extent rs an antidOte
to alcohol.
1t Is commonly claimed to remove
drowsiness. AS matter OF fact. In
many subjects 1t produces drOwslness
out this Is usually followed Oy mark
ed wakefulness. The practice OF drink
ing coffee after meal for the sake OF
the stimulus which is experienced has
much to be said IN it's favor dietet-
lcally.
There Is no reason for supposing that
coffee possesses any value as food.
The berry contains quite important
proportion OF fatty substances az per
cent average,. but these are NECESSARY.
~ excluded from the infusion, as. Ow-
ing to their insolubility. they remain
In the grounds"
According to our analysis. the pro-
tein contents of a cup OF coffee are
small, apprOximat1ng to l.25 per cent
of the coffee extracted. This amount
can have little dietetic significance.
There is also Q trif1ing quantity OF
sugar present. besides traces OF aic0-
hoi. which again can possess no TN
portance from a physiological point of
view.

s"WAS noon. A dreamy August
Pervaded all the village street.

The people dozed as well.
A drowsy note the locust sang.
When clear and slow with vibrant clang
From out the lime washed beIfry rang
The booming fire hell:
"Come. Deluge One! Cums. Torrent Three!
Come. Old Niagara, brave and free!
Come, fire lads of each degree
Where duty calls and fame!
Come one, come all! Come friends, come

The village clamored; horses SHE'D:
The clerkly pen was cast aside;

How swiftly donned were shirts of redi
His leathern helmet upon his head,
How calamity each hero sped
To man his engine tonguel
Then, swept along by shouting bands,
On every rope a score of hands,

With sundry oaths. belize

A Little Talk on the Care of Milk and
Cream on the Farm

The Bayfield, county farmers
are doing fine. They seem to
have decided that Bayfield, coun-
ty is adapted to dairying. In no
other state in the union is there
a greater abundance Of fine grass
and excellent water, therefore,
Bayfield, county can, and must,
produce the finest quality OF
dairy products.
The utmost care should be ex-
ercised in caring for milk and
cream on the farm. The barn
should be kept thoroughly clean
and we'll ventilated. The milk
pals and cans should be washed
first with cold water and some
good washing powder, and then
scalded with boiling water. The
separator should be washed in
the same manner.
A great care should be taken
in separating the milk. Be sure
your separator is running at the
right speed before turning on
the milk. Usually about forty
five to fifty-fve revolutions of the
handle per minute according to
the kind of machine. If the ma
chine does not run fast enough
more or less butter fat goes to
waste in the skim milk. After
the separating is done the cream
should be thoroughly cooled to at
least fifty degrees fahrenheit.
No warm cream should be mixed
with other cream, as that will
produce an undesirable flavor.
When the cream is cool it can be
mixed with other cream and kept
in cool place. Cream should
not be kept more than three
days to get the best results.
kindly ask the farmers, one
and all, to cooperate with me in
making our product to be the
best obtainable.
Respectfully yours,
White Rose Creamery Co.,
G.. F. Champney, Mgr.

Taoore's Fame In India.

As showing something Of Rubindra-
nath Tagore's fame in his native India,
Ernest Rhys tells the following story
in his biography of Tagore:
"Mr. Montague, the undersecretary
of state for India, was on one occasion
riding through an Indian forest. at
night when he came upon clearing
where two or three men sat around the
fire. Not being certain of the road"
says Mr.. Rhys, "he was glad to dis
mount and rest his tired horse. Shortly
after he had joined the group poor
booking, i'll clothed lad came out of the
forest and sat down also at the fire.
First one of the men sang song and
then another. The boys turn came.
and he sang a song more beautiful both
in words and music than the rest.
When asked who had made the song
he said that he did not know, they
were singing these songs everywhere.
Awhile after Mr.. Montague heard the
words that he had used again, this
time in a very different place, and
when he asked for the name of the
maker of the song he heard for the
first time the name of Rabindranath
Tagore." ~-.: .-.--~

What Color /. a Dandelion?

What color is danGelion? That
question led Richard Jeffries a search
through science, art and nature, and
his essay ends with tile dismal wall.
There are million books. and yet
with all their aid cannot tell the color
Of the May dandelion.' The nearest
he could come to it was to say yellow
gold orange" which string of words
suggests the gypsy name for this flow

It Is sensitive in it's coloring, absorb
ing from It's neighbor and changing
with climatic conditions. But no mat
ter what one calls its color it is en-
blazoned on the minds of the majority
as golden" and in this case the ma
jority rules. 1t Is springs largess,
scattered with lavish hand to rich and
poor, as welcome in many cases as If
it were the real five dollar piece which
it SO nearly resembles, and the first

During the late Lord Peel's tenure Of
the speakership he was informed that
the mace ordered out of the house Of
commons by Cromwell had been dis
covered in Jamaica. On inquiry the in

was found that Jamaica at one time
possessed mace presented by Charles

BRITISH NOT COMING

By BARRY FARIS.
American polo players may. have
to wait year or two before they get
another opportunity to display their
talent against their British brothers
in sport. But in the meantime
the American players are keeping in
perfect trim just as if the event was
to be played this year as usual. The
American polo authorities realize
there is little chance for match for
some time, not at least until the war
ends, for England is the place the
next match will be staged. q ~
But the distance of the date is one
of the chief reasons why members of
polo teams all over the country are
practicing and playing exhibition
games. For when the British get
ready to give battle to the Americans
on the polo field Uncle Sans repre-
sentatives are determined to be pre-
pared. !:
And the enthusiasm with which
the players have stuck to their prac-
tice work, where the cheering OF
spectators is painfully absent and
the applause of admirers lacking ar
CUES we'll for the spirit that domin-
ates the sport. The New York polo
players have been keeping in condi-
ton by playing at the Meadowbrook
club, where friendly rivalry has adj
ded to the sport. f .. s..... - ST
The same spirit is evident in the
west, as testified by the spring tour
naments in California. From reports
reaching officially of the American
Polo association every big polo club
in the country is faithfully following
the leadership OF. the Meadowbrook
Polo club and maintaining its fighting
form, to be ready when the opportu7
nity for an international match pre-
sents itself.

"Macaulay never wrote an obscure
sentence in his life," said John Morley,
and this is partly due to his exact use
