Philosophy is commonly regarded by
the man on the street" as something
utterly beyond him, yet in essence it
is a very simple thing.
Divine philosophy, as it is called,
consists of the gentle art of kidding"
ones self into the belief that whatever
happens is for the best When YOU
can do that you are a philosopher.
The Philosophical Society might
say this definition is extremely simple,
yet / would put out that this article
is not being written for presentation
before the society.
My definition is for the average
reader, who wants to get at the nub
of the question in a hurry. BY letting
him in on the secret of what philoso-
ply really is, | hope to do both of us
good.
Marcus Aurelius, in the ninth book
of his 'Meditations," gives a sterling
presentation of this practical phase
OF philosophy. In the section to be
quoted he tells how we may feel com
| Portable after meeting all sorts of men
| who make us feel uncomfortable. He
says:
When you are offended with any
mans shameless conduct Immediately
ask yourself, Is it possible, then, that
shameless men should not be in the
world?
1T is not possible.
Do not, then. require what is i'm.
possible. For this man also is one
OF those shameless men who must Of
necessity be in the world.
Let the same consideration be
present in your mind in the case of
I the knave, and the faithless man. and
OF every man who does wrong in any
way
For at the same time that you
remind yourself that il is impossible
that such kind of men should not ex-
| list YOU will become more kindly dis
posed toward every one individually"

1T is useful to perceive this. too,
Immediately when the occasion arises. -
he continues, what virtue nature has
given to man to oppose to every
wrongful act.
For she has given to man. as an
antidote against the stupid man. mild.
ness. and against another kind of man
some other power.
And in all cases it Is possible for
| you to correct by teaching the man
who is gone astray: for every man
who errs misses his object and is gone
lstray.
Besides, wherein have you been in.
| jured?
You will fnd that no one among
| those against whom you are irritated
! has done anything by which your
| mind could be made worse; that which
! is evil to you and harmful has its
/ foundation only in the mind.
! What harm is done or what is
! there strange If the man who has not
| been instructed does the acts of an
| uninstructed man?
! Consider whether you should not
/ rather blame yourself, because you die
not expect such a man to err in such
| a way.
! For you had means given you (by
| your reason) to suppose that IT was
| likely that he would commit this error
and yet you have forgotten and are
amazed that he has erred.
But most of all, when you blame q
man as faithless or ungrateful, turn
| to yourself
| For the fault is manifestly your
| own. whether you trusted that a man
| who had such a disposition would keer

The Sea Serpent Dead.

The Summer sea serpent has been

says that "a huge sea serpent that had
apparently been killed when struck by

They said the serpent was at least
eighty feet long and fifteen feet in cir

the sea serpent comes. Not in many
