It is true that some “translators” of Aesop's Fables use “hen” for_‘goore” in the fable about the golden egg, hut the Greek of the “text” is “chen,” which looks like some fountainhend of “hen” but really mneans “goose.” The accepted translators, or rather adapters, follow the famillar word of the vast majority, “goose.” It 1ust be remembered” that there really is no original Aesopian text, but only some later transcriptions d¢f what came to be regarded as the fables told by the old slave. The actual fount of the Aesoplan folklore was Babrius, a Hel- lenistic fabulist of the second century, who wrote the fables In verse. Since there have heen many versions and some years ago a batch of 70 more were found In the Vatican library. This / Greek word “chen” was pronounced “kane,” and hence it has no relation to “hen” except its belonging to the fowl family. African’s Attitude Toward Work. The African male has pecullar ideas of his own dignity where work is con- cerned. He will work for a white'man but he will never do anything for him- gelf If there are any women about. It s beneath his dignity to work. He will fish and hunt, make nets and crude im- plements and canoes, or pass away his time smoking strong tobacco and doz- ing, but he would not think of lending his wife a helping hand. He compels her to cu: down the trees for firewood and for his dugout canoes, and when they arrive at the spot in the forest or Jungle where he decides to build his town the women must clear away the tangled forest.. To civilized minds tree felling, wood carrying and jungle clear- ing are certainly laborious work ,for women, but an African woman knows nothing else, yet hers are much more healthful tasks than the ‘white wom- an’s, X-Ray Deéfeats Criminals. { A new development in X-ray pho- tography has provided an improved method of taking the finger prints of criminals.

Also, he was eager to tell of. what he saw and heard. So here's his story and his impres- sions of American suffrage léaders, ap contrasted with Bnglish ones. “We were led into a lofty room,” he said, “that-seemed full of great purple masses and pale sunshine. The purple. masses, one soon discovered, were pieces of furniture, arranged most artistically, and all most roy- ally empurpled with rich violet. The pale sunshinny effect, we found, was produced by light ‘filtering thru thin golden hangings. The whole room was purple and gold and-white, and it was, somehow, very imposing. And then we were bowing to a lady who also was enveloped in some pale sunshiny stuff like the hangings were made of. She was sitting with her back to the light in a purple chair, and she-waved us to other equally purple ones set cosily tete-a- tete with hers. Remark at this point that the filtered sunshine gave her a full view of her visitors’ faces, while her own was somewhat shad- owed. When I observed that trifling detail I felt myself growing wary. ‘We have to deal,” I though, ‘with persons who know their way about.’ Trifles like that impress one. “‘Will you have a candy?’ this lady invited us, extending a box of confections.

Or ‘should we join forces with them unre- servedly, contrary to the historic pol- ed. The regal appointments of the room had not prepared me for this. Quite candidly, T was flabbergasted, and, I fear, T mumbled somewhat as I declined the sweets. “All the while we +talked, good- looking young women kept coming in and going out, with telegrams and papers and messages, and Miss Paul quietly disposed of a good deal of routine business without interrupting the flow of conversation. -You no- tice her poise. = l “Your American suffragists, who have had as rough a fight of it in its way, as their English sisters, im- pressed me as quite drierent in some ! respects.

That is,) that your American suffragists, take them by and large, are a deal yonng-‘ er—I mean in their outlook and their virility and—well, they're younger, somehow, and a very refreshing “set of young persons. 2 “Just fancy, Miss Paul asked me, ‘Will you have a candy?” And he shook his head over that | incomprhensiblity. 3 Not Appreclated. i At one of the chaplaincies abroad “the chaplain was a somewhat dour elderly Scotsman who persistently re- sented an Innovation in the service.] A generous and wealthy member of the congregation, thinking it would be desirable to have the lesson read from a lectern Instead of from -the prayer desk, presented the church with .a handsome brais onme in the form of an eagle.
