Seven Mise Men of Greece.

The seven wise men of Greece were
Thales of Miletus, Fernandez of Cor
NTH, Cleobulus of Lyndus. Chic OF
Lacedaemon, Solcn of Athens, Bias OF
Priene and Pittacus of Mitylene.
Some fishermen of Miletus sold draft
of fishes to a bystander. When the
net was drawn in it contained gold
en- tripod, and the purchaser claimed
it was his. while the fishermen con-
tended that they sold only the fish
that might be in the net. The dispute
was referred to the oracle of the Del
phi, who awarded the tripod to the
wisest man in Greece. Thereupon it
was taken to Thales, who declined it
and suggested that it be given to Bias.
He in turn refused to accept it, and
thus it was successfully declined by
all the seven. and they were there
after known as the seven wise men OF
Greece.

HOLD BACK THAT RED
FIRE, SUFFRAGETTES
Votes for Women Killed in
Porto RiCan Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The house
struck from the Porto Rican bill by
a vote of eighty to fifty-nine, an
amendment designed to grant woman
suffrage to the islands. The bill then
passed without roll call, virtually as
introduced.
The vote on the amendment showed
q complete disregard of party lines.
though more democrats than republi-
cans voted against it. 1t was inserted
in the bill by Minority Leader Mann.
The bill as passed gives the Porto
Rican government all of it's internal
revenue, regardless of whether the
goods on which it is paid are used in
Porto Rico Or this country.
Heretofore revenues on goods used
in the United States have gone to the
federal treasury.
Property and educational qualifca-
tions are provided for applicants for
citizenship under the measure, and
the employment for children under
fourteen years Of age in injurious or
hazardous occupations would be pro-
hibited.

Daddy and the Riddles.

Well call him daddy because
that's what his kiddies call him. and
this is an intimate story of daddy
and his two youngsters.
Frequently mother and the kiddies
go to the picture show in the evening
while daddy" stays home alone
I'm too tired to go along is his
reply to invitations.
But the other evening the pleadings
of the youngsters won. Daddy en-
joyed the pictures. but he enjoyed the
kiddieS' fun more.
When the trip home was made and
the youngsters tucked in bed daddy
heard one youngster say to the other:
Don't you think the shows lots bet
ter when daddy goes with US?
The answer came, Lots better"
And how many ''daddies'' would cease
to be too tired if they realized how
much the kiddies yearn for them!LDe-

Riddle Making Epochs.

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue, and such epOchs would appear
to occur at seasons of fresh intellec-
tual awakening. Such an epoch there
was at the first glimmering of new in
tellectual light in the second half of
the seventeenth century. This was the
age Of Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne.
the first in the roll of Anglo-Latin
poets. He left a considerable number
of enigmas in Latin hexameters. Aid
helm died in 700. Before his time
there was collection of Latin riddles
that bore the name of Symphosius. Of
this work the date is unknown. We
only know that Aldhelm used it, and
we may infer that it was then a recent
product The riddles of Symphosius
were uniform in shape. consisting each
of three heXameter lines.-Cornhill

Explosive Barrels.

Nitroglycerin, though an explosive,
is rarely used by itself, being mixed
with guncotton to form blasting gela-
tin or with certain earth to make
dynamite. Huge quantities of the ex-
plosive liquid are kept in casks. and
the wood of these casks becomes so
highly explosive through being soaked
with the liquid that kick will blow
them to pieces. 1t is not safe to use the
empty casks again for refilling them
with the explosive, nor can they be
used in any other way, even for fire
wood. There is only one thing. indeed.
that can be done, and that is to ex-
plode the casks. They are placed on
waste ground and usually exploded by
means of rifle bullet fred into them.
Very little of the cask remains after
the explosion.-London Standard.
