As a rule, the nncients frowned upon the idea of interest- They called it usury, and, except in the case of ward ships and trusts, when the law insist- , ed upon money being usefully invested, they looked upon the man who lived by investments as a bad character and his trade as a disreputable one. Even Aristotle, a most advanced think er in many respects, talked most ener getically against money, calling it a "barren thing, which could produce nothing without violating nature." It was not until the crusades that the money lender had any standing or re spectability in Europe.—Loudon Tele graphy Cervantes. Cervantes died a poor man despite the great and immediate success of "Don Quixote," which he published in 1605, when he was fifty-eight years old. He led a wandering life. As a soldier he saw active service at Nava rino and Tunis. In 1575 he set out for Spain, but was captured by Barbary pirates and held for ransom for five years. When freed he tried to earn a living with his pen. but was unsuc cessful, and in 1587 he was engaged in gathering stores for the armada. His unbusinesslike methods lost him his post, and until his death in 1616 he lived in extreme poverty. —New York Sun. Safety Valves of the World. Terrific as are the farces of volcanic action, they have served and do yet serve their ordained purpose in the magnificent scheme of cosmic develop ment. Volcanoes form a natural vent for the peutup internal forces result ing from the slow cooling and consoli dation of the earth's mass. They act as the safety valves of the world, with out wliicb the crust of the earth would in all probability burst with explosive j force and with a resulting cataclysm appalling to contemplate. Volcanoes tend, in fact, to maintain the normal, stable equilibrium between the interior ' and the outer surface of tho world.— Exchange. Southey's Industry. Southey probably deserves to rank as the most industrious of authors. In the greater part of his life he spent fourteen hours a day in composition. He had six tables in his library.

He once described to Mme. de Stael the division of his time—two hours before breakfast for history, two ho»irs for wading after, two hours for the composition of i>oetry, two hours for criticism, and so on through all his working day.
