The Salt Sea Legend

which explains why the sea is salt.

reign wasa golden age indeed. pos-
sessed a einem. or hand mill, which'
grotui'd out gold and peace. but which
would grind out stores of anything de-
sired' :,by its owner. Two giant maid-
ens ;ruled over by Frodi, were the
grinders. In an evil day a sea rover
came upon the scene. slew Fredi and
carried ::off the quern and the two
giant maidens who worked it. When
the Rea ; rover's vessel was right. out at.
sea be ordered the maidens to -grind
salt. At midnight they asked if they
had not ground enough. The sea rov-
er, angry at being awakened.from his
sleep, commanded them to grind until
morning. Now, the giant maidens nat.-
orally
aborally enough worked very quickly, so
as they went on grinding the load of
salt grew so heavy that It sank the
ship, and now the sea will continue
salt forever.

already exists 10 the inside. We be-
come happy because there are certain
elements within as that respond im-
mediately to the things that make' up
happiness..
To be thoroughly happy you must
be on good terms with yourself.
Also it means that you have fath-
omed the mystery of happiness tit
every growing thing about you. A
man that is not on good terms with
the trees and dowers and birds and
houses and the scores of other gifts
of nature can never be upon good
terms with himself. For nature,
though silent in its expression, speaks
truths more wondrous than the ex-
pressed truths of men.
To be thoroughly happy you must
be on- good terms with everything
about you.
Did you ever look up into the sky
and ask yourself whether or not yon
were on good terms with the stars,
with the planets -with the moon? And
during the day, with the clouds and
the marvelous sun that so greatly
affect your disposition. as these things
do affect the dispositions of every one?
To be thoroughly happy yon must
snake the wonderful truths and ex-
pressions of nature your mental com-
intuions,
It is impossible for you to be upon
uod terms with all people unless yeti
fail in alignment with their sympa-
rities find with their viewpoints. It Is
impossible for you to bring out the
suet that is within unless you use as
a buac standing a perfect equality of
terms.- Toledo Times...
ANCIENT MEDICAL HUMOR.
Specimens From the Rome of Nearly
Twenty Centuries Ago.
That there was no lack of medical
humor in the classic days of Rome Is
made sure by the ancient epigrams of
Martial of nearly 2,000 years ago. The
London Lancet shows that the poet
bore v. grudge against the specialists
of his day, for it seems they had this
variety of practitioners then and pokes
fun at the oculists and at the surgeons
who indulged in clinical teaching. Of
the latter he has a patient complain in
good Latin, and this complaint has
been made over into current English:
1 lay 111. but soon Symmachus sought me
With a class of a hundred young men.
Whose hundred cold paws have brought
me •
The fever I lacked till then.
The . journal of the American Medi-
cal association calling attention to the
medical ways of the ancient city notes
that diseases due to luxurious habits
had multiplied greatly in Rome. What
was called gout -that is, pains and
aches in joints and muscles and the
vague conditions that we now' call
rheumatism -had also greatly increas-
ed. Pliny, who was an older `con-
temporary of Martial, says, "Gout used
to be an extremely rare disease, not
in the times of our fathers and grand-
fathers only, but even within my own
memory." Although the gouty were
usually rich and of luxurious habits,
<nme of them evidently were not good
v An evidence of this is thus given:
Diodorus, while he sues in court,
On gouty feet can stand,
But when the lawyer's bill is brought
Thr gout sets fast bis hand.
Masked Women.
Upper class. Swahili wonien wear
curious masks, which are made of
leather and beads on a wooden frame.
The mask is derived from the tradi-
tional usage • of Moslem women, who
must keep their faces covered in the
presence of hien For several cen-
turies Arab traders have frequented
this east African coast, and to their
influence are due most of the civilized
customs found today among the na-
tives of the district. The clothing
worn, by these prosperous dames is of
silk, their shoes are partly of silver, and
they wear much silver jewelry. The
Moslems in Zanzibar, by the way, are
less fanatically strict about religious
usages than their brethren in Morocco
and Turkey. -Wider World Magazine.
"Bob" and "Cob" In Money.

meant by the term "bob" when speak-
ing of money. But would they be able
