French Literary Men
Dispute OUer Unicorn

Was there ever such an animal as
the unicorn? It's existence has been
testified to by no less authoritative
writer's than Aristotle and Pliny, and
even In 1877 the members Of the
French academy, including the dis
tinguished names of Renan and Victor
Hugo, were so doubtful on the sub
ject that In their dictionary they gave
the ambiguous definition that. accord
ing to the most general opinion, the
unicorn never existed. But the present
members of the academy, still at work
on the new edition of the famous die
tionary, have tried to settle the ques-
tion for once and all. The unicorn,
say the immortals, is a fabulous ami
NAL of antiquity.
The French press refuses to accept
the dietum as final. Why, queries
Andre Billy, well-known writer,
should the members of the academy,
counting not a single naturalist In
their ranks, be allowed to settle the
question: And, in the century of radi-
um and the wireless, why should we
deny the testimony of Pliny and
Aristotle on the existence of a beast
remarkable only in that 1t had horn
on its forehead Paris Letter.

Cautious i'm Choice
of Life Companion

MANY were the famous characters
nroduced on the circuits of early days
men fearless in danger, unwearylns
in labor, enduring in privaton' power
full in exhortatiOn.
Among the most interesting OF then
was Lorenzo Dow, a rowing preacher
whose work was not confined TO the
mountains or the frontier; for al.
though he Iabored from the high peaks
J of North Carolina to the banks of the
Mississippi and from Georgia to Can
ada. he was well known also along the
Atlantic coast, and even In England
and Ireland. Restless and eager, he
continually travelled; nor would ne
marry until he had found a young
woman who would promise that she
would spare him from home twelve
months out of thirteen.
His proposal of marriage, a letter
that is thought unique In the de-
liberation and caution with which II
approaches the subject, ran as FOL
lows:
"If 1 am preserved, about year
and a half from now am in hopes OF
seeing this northern country again |;
and if during this time you live and
remain single, and find no one that you
like better than you do me, and would
be willing to give me up twelve months
ont of thirteen, or three years out OF
four. to travel, and that in foreign
lands, and never say, DO not go to
your appointment etc.-for If you
should stand in the way 1 should pray
God to remove you, which l believe
He would answer-and if find no one
that | like better than I do you, per
haps something further may be SAID
on the subject"

Hymns Form Links

The Old and the New worlds have
been linked by hymns. Doctor Reeves
tells how American history opened
with the singing of a Christian hymn.
"On the evening Of September %, 1892,
one of the companions of Columbus
saw what he thought to be land lying
dimly in the west. From all
three of the ships. as Columbus him
self gives the account in his diary,
there rose the sound of the old Gloria
In Excelsis Deo.'" We learn that later
In the history of Christian America
"The Bay Psalm Book" was printed
in the modest dwelling of the first
president of Harvard. President
Dwight of Yale, who was a chaplain
in the Revolutionary army, edited and
partly wrote what was for years the
leading hymn and psalm book in the
country. In 1877 at Charleston. S. c.,
John Wesley, an Anglican missionary,
published the first hymn book Of the
Church Of England.-W. NJ. Let's in

Would Haze History
Recorded on Tablets

If we of today were very much con
cerned that people 10000 or 15,OOt
years hence shall know who we were
and what we did, we suppose we
should follow the advice of Albert
Vanderlaan, ceramic expert, and make
a pictorial record of ourselves and oui
achievements on clay plaques. News
print crumbles in few decades, books
and manuscripts are perishable, wooC
turns to dust and iron to rust, brlcB
becomes earth, the marble tombstone
weathers into a limestone devoid OF
Inscriptions, and, as we have learned
our national capitol is built of rotten
sandstone which only repeated coats
Of weatherproof paint have kept from
disintegration. Nothing lasts except
glazed pottery-a thing more enduring
than stone or metal.
1t is looking long way aheaor
but there would be point in reproduc-
ing the characteristic physiognomies
edifices, machines and products OF our
civilization in baked clay. Anyway
we wish prehistoric man had done
more systematic work of this kind for
the benefit of his -Cincin-
natl Times-Star.

Miserable Despair

Despair makes a despicable figure.
and is descended from a mean original.
1t is the offspring of fear, laziness and
impatience. 1t argues a defect of
spirit and resolution. and oftentimes
Of honesty, too. After all, the exercise
Of this passion is so troublesome that
nothing but dint of evidence and dem
onstration should force it upon US.
would not despair unless | knew the
irrevocable decree was passed, l saw
my misfortune recorded in the book
of fate, and signed and sealed by ne
cessity. Jeremy Taylor.

eral actors slipped and fell as a result.

eral startling costumes she wears in

PARKING LAW FOR MILFORD
Milford Council Adopts Ordinance to
Better Regulate Automobile Traffic

In order to take care of the in
creased traffic through the business
section of Milford the Town Council
of Milford at meeting on Tuesday
night passed an ordinance prohibiting
parking on the east side of Walnut

Walnut street, but the spaces for
parking will be widened in order to
permit more freedom for the cars.
The Council also orderer three of the
intermittent blue, red and yellow traf-
fic signal lights. These lights will be
placed at the intersection Of Walnut
street and South Front street; Walnut
street and North Front street; North
Front street and Church street. The
lights on Walnut street will be ar
ranged so as to work opposite signs
when one signals blue the other at
the end Of the street will signal red
in order to slow up the traffic on this
thoroughfare.

Ancient and Modern
Systems of Currency

In the early days of our civilization,
when a mans fiocks and herds were
his only possessions, they also cOnsti-
tuted his money. and when metal
coins were first introduced many had
cattle stamped on them
The Latin for cattle Is "pecus," and
it Is not far stretch from this to our
word 'pecuniary." which is usually as
sociated with money.
Again. the word "cattle" is derived
from capital" the origin of which Is
the Latin word "caput," meaning
head, and from the very earliest times
beasts have been spoken Of as 50 much
per head.
1t is curious, too. how agriculture
has Indirectly affected our system Of
currency When man found 1t easier
to dig with bronze or iron spade
than with wood. Ii was not long be-
fore iron and bronze coins came into
use. Later. when gold and silver were
discovered. they were quickly adopted
for currency
The word salary" comes from
saline" When the Romans. dom
mated Britain they took possession OF
a great many Of the salt mines. be
cause salt was then valuable COM
modify; in addition. workmen in the
salt mines were frequently paid with
salt, and it was not long before this
form Of remuneration became known
as salary.

ments, and then we expect about 600
representatives of major organiza-
lions in America, and about 800 repre-
sentatives of major organizations
throughout the world, making a grand
total of about 1880 delegates
1t will not do for the public to tenn
porize with so dangerous a national
menace. Every municipal, state and
federal agency should cooperate in
this national and international effort
to stamp out, root and branch, this
diabolieal traffic. The fact that the
United States uses more drugs than
any other nation, that this infection
has spread from New York across the
country SO fast that one-third of all
persons being convicted in federal
courts are now narcotic cases, is of
sufficient gravity to call for prompt,
vigorous and intelligent action.
The fact that the Congress of the
United States is vitality interested in
this affair was evidenced by the, fact
that the Committee on Education
unanimously reported the resolution,
and the House promptly passed it I'M
der the unanimous consent rule.
A most serious problem and battle
faces the American people.
