RICHARD’S MAXIMS

Franklin's Proverbs of Thrift
Especially Applicable at
This Time.
It a postal savings bank is es
tablished on the proposed lines,
it might be Well to recognize on
the deposit card and on the
bonds that are to be issued the
wholesome maxims o f Franklin,
the first American philosopher.
Poor Richard’s savings would in
this way have a deservedly wide
circulation and would be read by
the plain people greatly to their
advantage as they were read in
the early days p f the republic.
Here are some o f these maxims,
taken from the Pennsylvania al
manac for 1758, of which Benja
min Franklin, under the pseudo
nym of Richard Sanders, was
editor and publisher.
Many words will not fill a
bushel.
God helps those who help
themselves.
The used key is always bright.
Do not squander time; time is
the stuff that life is made of.
The sleeping tox catches no
poultry.
“ Time enough” always proves
little enough.
He that riset'n late must trot
all day and shall scarce overtake
his business at night.
Laziness travels so slowly that
poverty soon overtakes him.
Drive thy business; let not thy
business drive thee.
Early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy, wealthy
and wise.
He that lives upon hope will
die lasting.
Industry pays debts.
Diligence is the mother ol good
luck.
One today is worth tw o to
morrows.
Have you something to do to
morrow, do it today.
The cat in gloves catches no
mice.
Little strokes tell great oaks.
Employ thy time well if thou
meanest to gain leisure.
Since thou are not sure o f a
minute do not throw away an
hour.
Trouble springs from idleness
and grevious toil from needless
ease.
Fly pleasures and they will fol
low thee.
Three removes are as bad as a
fire. .
Want ot care does more dam
age than want o f knowledge.
Not to oversee workman is to
leave them thy purse open.
servant and one that thou likest,
serve thyself.
For want ol a nail the shoe

For want o f a shoe the horse

For want of a horse the rider

W hy Not W om an's Suffrage?
(An address (Iren recently at the Y M 0 A.
hall In Portland by Clarence True Wilson, D. O )
When two* armies face each
other in battle the army o f ag
gression, before it can engage the
main body, must drive in the
skirmish lines of the enemy. The
woman’s suffrage propaganda
has thrown out certain skirmish
lines in the public thought and
these must be driven in before we
can come to the main argument.
First, then, those whoclaim that*
the ballot is women's right quote
from the declaration ofindepend-
ence that, “ Taxation without
representation is tyranny.” But
the quotation is not in point, for
that sentiment was uttered with
no possible reference to individu
al voters, male or female. It
was a declaration of the repre
sentatives of the 13colonies that
unless these col mies could have
a representative in the parlia
ment and in the cabinet to pro
tect their interests King George
should not ask U3 to pay duty.
It had no reference to the casting
o f ballots, for men voted in every
colony, but it was a declaration
that one government ought not
to tax another without due rep
resentation.

women’s
suffrage it would have

ASTROLOGY.
On* of the Moat Anciant
Suparatition.
Forma of
Astrology means the “ science of
the stars.” The encyclopedia calls
astrology “ one of the most ancient
forms o f superstition.” Chaldeans,
Egyptians, Hindus and Chinese
were given to it. The Jews became
addicted to it after the captivity. It
spread into the west and into Rome
at about the beginning o f the Chris
tian era. Astrologers played an im
portant part at Rome, where they
were called Chaldeans and “ mathe
maticians." Although they were o f
ten banished by the senate and the
emperors on pain o f death and were
otherwise persecuted, they contin
ued to hold their ground. Even
Ptolemy the astronomer did not es
cape the infection, which in his
time had been universal.
Mohammedanism was well adapt
ed to astrology, and the Arabs cul
tivated the “ science” with great ar
dor from the seventh to the thir
teenth century. Some o f the early
Christian fathers argued against
astrology in its earlier form and
others received it modified to some
extent.
*
Probably the palmiest days of as
trology were the fourteenth and fif
teenth centuries. At two of the
oldest universities in Europe chairs
were founded for its teaching— at
Bologna and at Padua. No prince’s
court was complete without its as
trologer. A fter the renaissance the
study of astrology was vigorously
opposed, though for centuries many
men continued to believe in it
among whom, at least to a certain
extent, was Napoleon. The merci
less ridicule o f Swift had much to
do with its discredit in England.

wonderful
enough, but weighing them appears
at first thought an impossibility.
But all this has been accomplished,
and more too. The refinements of
mechanical science have brought
about great changes in weighing
methods. Everything is weighed to
day. The architect before putting
up his thirty or forty story build
ing calculates to a ton the total
weight o f the whole mass. The
bridge builder works out in advance
the weight of his suspension bridgo
and then calculates the stresses and
margin o f load capacity it can safe
ly carry. The marine architect must
calculate to a nicety the weight and
water displacement of his iron
ships long before the keel is laid.
An error o f a few tons might easily
make the ship a failure.
But all these weighing achieve
ments are simple and crude com
pared to the work of weighing a
sunbeam, a ray o f light or some in
visible gas. Scales have been con
structed for this purpose which are
little short of magical. At. Univer
sity college, Lohdon, there is a pair
of scales that will weigh a seven-
thousand-millionth o f an ounce.
These are employed for weighing
invisible gases and even sunbeams
and rays o f lig h t It seems impos
sible that a ray o f light should have
w eight but these sensitive scales
will demonstrate it.
The scales are kept in a small un
derground chamber made of metal,
and the room is always in semi
darkness, for the light and the heat
caused by it affect the delicate
beam. The scale beam is only a few
inches long and is made o f silica,
as glass is too sensitive to heat to
be o f use. It is a mere cobweb-like
machine, and when one enters the
scale room the alteration in the
temperature causes the beam to
move. The operator must wait for
an hour in total darkness and si
lence to make a reading o f the
scale. Even when the electric bulb
is turned on the sensitive scale feels
the vibration o f the air caused by
the light. The tiny tray o f the scale
contains a glass tube, and into this
some imprisoned gas is placed for
weighing. In spite o f the delicacy
o f the scale and its wonderful bal
ance, the gas weighs so little that to
the eye no motion o f the beam is
visible, but a ray o f light is focused
upon a mirror and thence upon a
graduated scale six feet away. The
weight o f the tube o f gas is record
ed on this scale and the magnified
result easily read. The record may
show only one seven-thousand-mil
lionth o f an ounce, the total weight
o f the whiff o f gas.— George Ethel-
bert Walsh in Washington Star.
