Have you ever read what Renan
said of Over-educatlon? Well, here 1t
is: "a great danger impends because
the accumulation of knowledge and
power is unlimited, while the human
intellect does not expand. There is
reason to fear that the human brain
may collapse under its own burden;
that there may come a moment when
Its very progress spells It's ultimate
decadence. 1t will be like an equa-
ton that carries it's limits within its
own statements."-Los Angeles Times.

Oriqin Of Old Saying.

If you will read up on the thcoIoGl-
cal controversy between Arius and
Athanansius over the nature of the
second person in the Trinity you will
get the plausible origin Of the saying.
Il don't care an iOtn." The one con-
tended, using the Greek word, that
Jesus was "hOmoousiOs," /. e., of the
same nature as God, the other arguing
that he was "homoiousios :" that is,
Of similar nature. You will detect
that the two Greek words differ only
by an iota, the Greek name for their
letter a." SO one tired of the riots
In Byzantium and the prolonged dis
QUESTIONS, contentedly said he did not
care an iota.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
