OrlQin OF Ostraclsm.

At one period In the history of an.
cient Greece the people of Attica pos
sessed the power Of removing from the
state, without making definite
charge, any leader of the people likely
to overthrow the government. This
was 80 abused that In time it became
the right to drive into exile any per
son who had become unpopular with
out much regard to the cause Of his
loss Of popularity. The decision was
arrived at by vote, each citizen writ.
ing his vote on shell-often an oyster
shell. The Greek word for the shell,
expressed in our alphabet, is ostracon
and because the ostracon was used as
a ballot, the expelling of person
from the state by popular vote was
called ostrnclsm, which means black
balllng or expelling.

q First Adding Machines.

The first machine to directly per
form the operations of addition and
subtraction was one invented by Pas.
cal In 1912 II was known as the ma.
chine arlthmetiQue. Twenty years
later Leibniz attempted the conStruc.
ton of a machine for making elaho.
rate astronomical calculations; and
various other attempts were made in
succeeding years, but with little sue
cess. Between 1922 and 1912 Charles
Babbage designed his machine for cal.
culatlng mathematical tables by the
method of differences" About 1850
Thomas of Colmar invented success.
tul calculating machine known as the
arlthmometer, In which the numbers
were inscribed on cylinders moved by
trains OF toothed wheels. In recent
years a large number of successful
machines have been devised.

Memory Test Concerning Popular
Quotation.
Who VIII Come Forward With Proof
as to Authorship Of Words
Ascrlbed to Many?

Who said: "There, but for the grace
OF God, go /. " Having asked
practically every one we know and
also some we did not know we have
discovered ourselves to be as wise as
when we started.
Eminent theologians, quite naturally
1t seemed to us, should have been
the authorities from whose decision
there could be no appeal on this Ques-
ton. Several OF them, questioned,
knew, but had for the moment forgot
ten. They were to let us know, says
Hartford Courant writer. We have not
heard from them. Others, not having
forgotten, told us. If we had stopped
with one all might have been well, but
seeking corroborative testimony -
fellow worker having put the matter
on sporting basis, as 1t we're, by bet
ting 81 that John Bunyan said tive
went further and asked several Of the
eminent clergymen. Those who told us
had so many fayorites that We were
more bewildered and amazed than
when we began. John Milton, John
Bunyan, John Wesley, Sir Isaac New
ton, Francis Bacon, Samuel Johnson,
DR.. John Dome, Bishop Hall, Dean
Swlft--we could not believe that
Dean Swift would have said that
Isaac Watts and Bishop Berkeley,

Eminent literary men, appealed to,
were equally certain they knew and
did not In all cases disguise an amused
contempt that we should ask a ques.
ton when the answer was Of a nature
that should spring spontaneously 10
the lips Of the educated, but their
choices were as varied as those or
their eminent brothers In another field
OF endeavor. About the only addenda
70 the lists given by the clergymen
that we recall were Alexander Pope,
Ben Jonson--we know he did not say
it-Wllliam Pitt. Earl Of Chatham
Sydney Smith and Thomas attempts ;
hut they, when pressed, produced no
documentary evidence.
A pebble cast into the Pacific at Cal
lfoinia will start In motion a wave
that finally breaks upon the distant
Asian shore. we have heard-we do
not know who said that either, nor
do we believe it-and In q somewhat
similar fashion our query began to In
volve others. A young woman hearing
of the quest kindly called up to In
form us that Francis Bacon had said
II. We asked her how she knew. She
had attended n lecture shortly before
and the lecturer had quoted the
phrase and ascrlbed II TO the man who
once remarked that God Almighty
planted the first garden. Somewhat
to her surprise we asked If she could
possibly get In touch with the lecturer
and ascertain where the quotation
with Its credit might be found. The
lecturer, II later developed, was GER
tain of the fact, but could produce no
authority for 1t. That started the
young woman on search among all
the books Of quotations that were ever
written and are still extant In Hart
fold.
One person insisted somewhat heat

ton said It. Perhaps he did, but aside
from discovering that the blind poet

Preserving Vegetables.

When dehydratcd raw vegetables
are stored in alright containers at
ordinary temperatures investigations
show that their moisture content Is an
important factor in their preservation
There is a "critlcal moisture content
below which the distinctive color and
taste Is retained unlmpaIred for up
ward of six months. For cabbage this
is from to 1874 per cent; for onions
from 5.74 to 6.64 per cent. There Is

nudity at lower temperatures than
from similar exposure In dry at
