TIiq landlocked Mediterranean, which was the only sea known to the Uomans ninl Greeks of twenty odd centuries j ago, was tilled with mysterious terrors, j while the more distant lands bordering ! on it were the abodes of wonders and | strange peoples. Gods of monstrous i shapes ruled the waters, < uehnnting I sirens dwelt on the Islets and rocks, ami j on the dry land beyond were to be j found weird enchantresses, tire breath- | ing beasts, fierce pygmies and dreadful cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who got as far nr. the pillars of Hercules, now called the strait of Gibraltar, brought back intelligence that the groat ocean, beyond was not navigable. It was part of the mighty river which flowed around the tint earth in an unending stream. Tradition says that there was In those times at Gibraltar a stone ] Hint* 100 cu- | hits high, with a brass statue on it and an Inscription stating this to bo the limit of navigation. Ucyor.d was a "sea of t1,irl:ness." infested with terrors beyond the'1 power of the Imagination to conceive. Occasionally a bold navigator did, nevertheless, venture, outside Into the Atlantic, hut w*as Compelled to turn hack very quickly. A whirlwind would arise and threaten to swamp the vessel, or. more alarming still, a gigantic hand, supposed to be that of Satan, would emerge Ivoia the ocean of ?ternal gloom and warn hack the mariners. Not merely on these accounts was the ocean impracticable for ships. It was reported to Ik? ao dense with snltness and so crowded with seaweeds and huge beasts that headway could not ho made through it. Even up to the time of Columbus such beliefs prevailed, and his crews were terrified on entering the raragossu sea by the weeds and callus. Token nl III* Word.

The paving of the road to ti very uncomfortable place is said to be composed of good intentions. Nowhere clso has this material been tried for paving, though It is plentiful enough for almost any purpose. We all know people whose houses burn when they are "Just going to" insure, who lose n cow ? or a horse when they a??e "^ust going to", mend the fence or close the gate, who are "just going to" buy stock when it goes up like a rocket, who are "just going to" pay a note when it goes to protest, who are "Just going to" help * a neighbor when be dies, who are "Just colli if 111" koiiiI Miimn flfiwnru in n kIpIt friend when it proves too lute'.
