The Influence of Greece

T9fE LEGACY OF GREECE. Essay
by Gilbert Murray. w. r, Inge,
Burnet and others. Edited by II. w
Livingstone Oxford Press.
This remarkable book is an ac-
count Of Greek influence in various
fie,d. OF culture, each field treated
by a specialist. The preface says
that it is tho first book of it's kind
IN English and that 1t "alms at Civ
ing some idea OF what the world
owes to Greece in various realms Of
the spirit and the intellect. and OF
what it can still learn from her."
These claims, if somewhat more
clearly defined. are quite justified as
describing the Intention of the boed,
and they furnish fair standards ly
which to judge it. Other books IN
English. also works OF collaboration,
have given an account OF what we
owe to Greece, but such volumes
have hitherto been written by stu
dents OF literature. art, philosophy
and archaeology; IN this book for
the first time we have an account
OF Greek mathematics and astron-
omy by a mathematician. of Greek
natural science, of Greek biology
and Of Greek medicine by adopts in
those sciences. Other works of this
kind have indicated the Importance
Of Greek culture by studying Greek
things in themselves-by studying
Greek architecture. for example, as
the Greeks practiced it: in this book.
however. II Is chiefly the legacy OF
Greece that Is indicated-just what
remains to US in vital use from the
ancient civilization. Such an inven-
tory would in any case be novel ana
fascinating, and here the various
contributors have gathered in a few
hundred pages an amount of infor-
nation that quite overwhelms by its
range, It's concreteness and its in
trinsic interest. If we add that the
chapters arc written with much
charm. and that the felicity of man.
ner is as evident in the chapters on
science as in those on literature and
art, We shall have explained why we
think this remarkable hook-and
perhaps also we shall have exhausted
the grounds for praising it.

Prof. Burnet, who writes on Greek
philosophy, falls somewhat into the
traditional way of evaluating the
classics; his chapter is an excellent
brief history of philosophy and phil
osophers, but he gives US little spe-
cific account OF the legacy in his field.
Sir i. L. Heath, however, more than
justifies the title Of the book In his
beautifully clear and compact story
of Greek mathematics and astron-
omy; perhaps the subject lent itself
to such happy inventory. The
same praise, perhaps for the same
reason. must be given to Prof. Darcy

What Cabbaues Dislike.

Some time ago, number of scien- tists, by means of a device invented by an Indian savant, were able to watch plant growing, and study the beating of what in vegetable life cor responds to the heart of an animal. An average plant grows at the slow rate of one-milliOnth part of an inch per second, yet this device so magni- ties this that, thrown upon the screen, the increase is easily seen. Plant life does not differ G"oatly from animal life. Place the roots in boiling water, it struggles and dies the same as the animal. A ca"bage dislikes being boiled as great as would your pet dog. The only difference is that the cabbage can not protest, but squirms, wrigsles and writhes.

Shopping in Ecuador.

The common trade balance of Ecua- dor is short stick carrying a sus- pended pan at each end and held up by a cord around the center. The weight is a rock about the size of mans fist, and, while no two of them are ever the same size, the merchant is always prepared to pledge his honor that the stone weighs a full and ex- act pound. The price for a com modity is almost never fixed, and as the EcuadOrean is always prepared and expects to come down somewhat from his first price, it speaks worlds for his optimism that he invariably tries to get more. The bargaining does not actually begin until you have disregarded the first figure and asked :: What is the last price?" Gel ultimo precilo?'D. In fact, have been told vol untarily, when pricing ponchos, that the price was p sucres, but T can come down a little."

LEARN FROM THE ELEPHANT
Be Careful Where You Step and Take Credit When Due, Is by No
 Means Bad Advice.

A circus man says that an elephant is always careful where he steps. He goes forward one step at a time, and doesn't lose his hold upon one place of security until another Is gained. If many of our business men had acquired this elephant philosophy and had followed it they wouldn't be hang ing over financial precipices now.
 If one goes about thinking that the world is filled with crooks and schem- CTS, the world it filled with crooks and SchemerS. On the other hand, if one believes that the world is filled with fine neighborly, helpful, kindly folks, one finds people of that class in the great majority.
 It isn't well to have too much hu- mility. The man who gets into the habit of refusing to take credit for the good work he does is quite apt to be surprised when he discovers that people accept his denials as the ruth. It is much better to be like the little girl in the old story who, when she was asked, "Who made you?" replied, "God made me that length" indicating with her hands the ordinary size of newborn babe.

Thedford's Black -Draught Highly Recommended by . Tennessee Grocer for Troubles Re- sulting from Torpid
 Liver.

East Nashville, Tenn The efflo. iency of Thedfords Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, is vouched for by Mir. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. 'It Is without doubt the best liver medicine, and l don't believe could get along without 1t. I take 1t for sour stomach, head ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of 8 torpid liver.
 T have known and used 1t for years, and can and do highly recommend 1t to every one. I won't go to bed with out 1t in the house. It will do all 1t claims to do. I can't say enough for It" f
 Many other men and women through put the country have found Black Draught just as MT Parsons describes valuable in regulating the liver to It's normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities.

NOT ALWAYS EASY TO READ
At Certain Times Robert Louis Stevenson's Manuscript Is Said to
 Have Been "Weird."

Robert Louis Stevenson's handwrit- ing was fairly Iegible when he felt well, although when he was not well his scrawl was distinctly weird. In his article on the genesis of "The Master of Ballantrae," he speaks of having been haunted by a story "con- ceived in Highland rain, in the blend of the smell of heather and bog plants, and with a mind full of the Athole correspondence and the memories of the dumlicide Justice
 Ingenious surmises have been made as to the meaning of the last words. Sir Graham Balfour now explains, ac- cording to the Westminster Gazette, that after many heads had been called into consultation he himself came to the conclusion that it should read "Chevalier de Johnstone." The interpretation may be correct, for in one of Stevenson's papers occurs the combination "brean." The late James Murray of the Oxford dictionary asked Stevenson what it meant. Stevenson replied that it was misprint for ocean"

NEGROES IN FLORIDA IN 1928
Narvaez' Expedition of That Year, According to History.

The first record of negro slaves within the present boundaries of the United States is found in an account of the Spanish expedition of Naryaez to Florida in 1528, which included two negroes. But the negro was not in Florida to stay until 1865, when few landed with Memedez' colonlsts. It ts believed the ,Spaniards had negroes with them in theft unfortunate colony of SGr Miguel de Gualdape in 1526, which J. j. Shea locates in the neigh borhood of Jamestown, Va. H. H.

Crackers of Various Kinds.

There are various curiosities in the way of foreign crackers, or biscuit, as they are sometimes called. It may be remarked by way of preface, that biscuit is French for twice cooked" and is etymologically the same as the German zwieback. The Italians make all their crackers in this way, the va rleties familiar to us not being in con- mon use with them. Italian bakers save all their old bread and convert it into biscuit" of this kind. For this reason the bread largely used in Ital- Ian and Sicilian restaurants is so made that pieces may be broken from the loaf without making jagged end.- New York Herald

When One Is Rich.

Possessions are synonymous with riches. One is rich who has great pos sessions. But possessions are many and varied. A person may have much money, and be very poor. A person may have little of the goods of this world and yet be rich. Possessions are both material and spiritual. Ma terial riches of themselves can do lit tie. No matter how much money a person has, that money alone cannot accomplish much. Money cannot buy love, friendship, mercy. Money can not give it's owner an amiable tenn perament, literary taste, or moral worth. Money for individuals collec- lively can accomplish nothing without mind and soul put with that money, Somebody must furnish these spiritual assets.-Grit.

Women and children were kept in the insti- tuition until they could be otherwise disposed of, which was generally by matrmony, in the case of the women when the author acted as marriage broker.

That Word "Ptgeon-EngIish."

To the Chinese we owe the com pound word, "pigeon-English,' the childish dialect in use at Chinese ports between natives and American and English traders.
 The Chinese use the word pigeon or ''pidgin" to supply the place of English nouns unknown to them. Those ingenious orientals call con cert a "sing-song pidgin" and a con- versation a "talkee pidgin."
 With the increasing intercourse be- tween the Chinese and English speak ing persons, and with the progress of education in China, real English is taking the place of the 'pidgin" variety. But pigeon-English' still survives, especially in fiction and on the stage.

RETAIN YOUR HEAD COVERING
Writer Asserts That "Flu" Is Spread by Practice of Doffing the Hat
 in SaIutation.

Influenza has always been widely mysterious in it's operations. Long ago one of our warships was off the west African coast, says London An swers, when a dense black mist ad- vanced from the shore and swept over the vessel. All the men on deck at the time were stricken down with the "fu"; and little later the remainder of the men and officers were attacked.
 The ship was at once ordered home, and, though many of the cases we're complicated with pneumonia and bron- chitis, none, luckily, proved fatal. The patients were treated with cinchona bark and ammonia, which was then a recognized formula for malarial fe- vers.
 During the devastating epidemic of "fu," the Turks in Europe escaped be- cause, 1t is said, they never removed their turbans. The medical faculty of Vienna officially declared that intlu- enza was largely due to the practice of doffing hats in the streets. In SUD- port of this contention, 1t was point ed out that the great majority of the victims were of the male sex. A traveller found influenza to be un- usually severe in Mexico, where, as he remarked, there is so much hat doffing.
 It may be the case, however, that such large proportion of males are attacked because of the constant drain on their vitality by the nature of their daily occupation. The writer was re- gently informed by high medical au- thority in London that influenza cpl denies of late years showed the prin- cipal sufferers to be male persons who their lives.
