Interest In Ancient Days.
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

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
wrote poetry at one. history at anoth
er, criticism at a third, and so on with
the other subjects upon which he was
engaged. 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. "And pray, Mr. South
ey," asked ma dame, "when do you
think?"— London Chronicle.
