The Gn-ck of history was an uncommonly consistent republican. In the tolerance lie gave to individualism and the capacity lie showed inside his city state for collective action he carried ttie science of government and of |s>litlcal self control in some respects to a height from which all subsequent history is a descending slope While maintaining democratic standards, he did uot enforce nor bow to that tyrannous and narrowing public opinion which in our own time threatens to cast all men in much the same mold. He found n place in his scheme of things for diversities of natural bent—for the effeminate dress of Alciblades. the tub of Diogenes, the railings of t’leon, the austerities of Aristides, the satire of Aristophanes, the arrogance of Phoelon. The democracy of Athens was never the democracy of the dead level It meant opportunity, uot a steam roller. As creditable a story is told on tin side of collective action. Greek polities implied, as Mahaffy has observed, “the reasonable discussion of the public, the final decision of the majority, the sub mission of magistrates aud rulers to tlie will of the people.” The Greek "multitude” was tolerant, patient, loy al to its leaders and capable, as it showed in the Peloponnesian war, of making exemplary sacrifices and of initiating and maintaining a course of action for a protracted period.

For that fortituiie it would he impossible to find a modern pa mi lei. The eivie qualities are uppermost in the great period of Greek history—a keen apprei iatlon of humor that acted as a safety valve to the turbulence of assemblies, an aptitude at public speaking which was useful in battle as in council. Every free Greek was at •nee a legislator, an orator, a potential admiral or general. There was one capital defect in the Hellenic character. The individual Greek could not stand prosperity As Grote put it. “The effec ts of a copious draft of glory on the temperament of an enterprising and ambitious Greek were perfectly maddenlug.” He was a good loser, but nearly always a bad winner. Almost every conspicuous Greek of history became at the end a corruptionist or a traitor. Miltiades. victor of Marathon, became a pirate and died in imprisonment. Them*stocles was negotiating to betray the Grecian armament to the great king the day before be destroyed the Persian fleet at Halaniis. Aicibiudes betrayed in turn the Athenians, tb< Vpartans aud the Persians. IVmosthenes was banished for eudicziletnent. The Syracusan leaders became tyrants when they could. Os all Greeks ouly Tinioleou, the t’orlnthlan who freisl Syracuse. was at once honorable, fortunate and acclaimed. Although the Hellenic world fringed the Mediterranean and the Black seas from end to end, the significant |K>litical history of Greece is almost altogether the history of Athens and Sparta. The great places of heroic legend. Ithaca and Pylos nud Phtiiia nud Arcadia and Argos and Corcyra, “the Phueakcs’ land." figure hut faiutly in the historical period. Ithaca was only a barren rock. Arcadia a recruiting ground for rustic mercenaries and Argos and Corcyra and such states as Aetolia. Messena, Thessaly and the Achaean I/oague ancient nrototpyes of the rude and turbulent Balkan states of today. The transitory pre-eminence of The!ics was the pre-eminence of its one great soldier, Eptuninoudas. Between them Spartans and Athenians wrote the great story of political Greece. The Spartans were more a military brotherhood than a state, the men dining in barracks and visiting their fuuiilies by stealth and all freemen despising wealth and any toil except Hint of the gymnasium, the drill ground and the battlefield. They, were a proud, shy, self contained, home keeping people, so ill at ease and unpracticed in public speech that the word “laconic'’ lias become a proverb. Their cautious |iollticul sense, their military discipline, their long lived dynasty and their unbroken maintenance of one form of government secured them the instinctive deference of other Greeks. What the Spartans were not the Athenians in their best period were - eager wanderers over the earth, traffickers, imperialists, orators, scholars and artists Tliey were always "getting forward.” As the slower Peloponnesians complained, every acquisition was made by them the basis of a new venture, and when they measured arms with the complainants they showed that they could he as coustaut in misfortune and as elastic In rising from crushing disaster as they were uggressive In pressing an advantage.— Naw York Mail. ”*•<* m a Hatter," What Is the derivation of the phrase "Mud as a hatter?” One explanation is that it was originally French, “As mud ns an oyster” (huitre), that bivalve being supposed to be extremely unirtellectual. Another theory Is that the phrase had reference to Collins, the English poet, author of the “Ode to the Passions." He was a hatter at Chichester, and It has been said that the* lunatics with whom he whn con* fined at one time called him "the hatter and that the piiruse originated
