THEIR NAMES BECAME LANGUAGE

WHEN he was the Comptroller Gen
eral of France. just before the French
Revolution. he rashly advocated rails
ing money by taxing the lands of the
mobiles. He argued that if the rich
aristocracy would make some sacri-
fees, the country would soon be able
to tighten its financial burdens. The
landed messeigneurs were of course
horrifed at his radical proposals. Re
duce their pensions? Melt down their
table plate into money? The Comp
troller soon had few friends left in the
government.
But the common people took him to
their hearts. At the time that the
Comptroller General was fighting for
his program it had become popular to
have profile portraits cut out of black
paper and mounted, and it soon was
the rage of Paris.
What was more fitting than to give
the name of this man to a type of
portraiture then so much in vogue?
And so it is that Etienne de Silhou-
ette. finance minister of France. in
terested far more in money than in
art. is remembered in connection with
the type of perturbation that bears
his name.

OREEK legend tells of certain ESg
who had somehow enraged the gods
Various crimes are attributed to him
- discovering divine secrets and re-
vealing them to mankind; killing his
son Pelops and serving him at ban
quet to which the deitIes had been
invited; and stealing nectar and am
brosia from heaven. But whatever his
transgressions were. the gods thought
IT serious enough to devise an in
genious punishment. They brought
him down to Hades and chained him
IN lake, over which hung branches
of lusclous-looklng fruit. The payof
was that when the king became
thirsty and bent down to drink, the
waters of the lake receded just beyond
reach; and when he attempted to
pluck the fruit in order to allay his
hunger, the branches swung outside
his reach. Now if you are ever in a
tantalizlng situation, think of the king
whose name was Tantalus.
