The first school of philosophy was established in Miletus (Asia Minor) by Thales, one of the wise men, and was qnlte a remarkable Institution, exerting an influence for more than a century. Thales seems to have given himself more entirely to this school than to any of his other undertakings. There Is a legend that he never married, and when his mother pressed him to do so After he said: It Is not yet time. his youth was passed she again urged him to marry and he said: It Is no longer time." Many of the subjects taught In his school, such 'as astronomy, geometry and geography, show the Influence of Egypt and Phoenicia; but the philosophy was probably an original product, for while some of the sciences were somewhat advanced, the philosophy was apparently a first attempt at an explanation of the origin of the world. It originated a movement which culminated more than a century later in the idealism of Plato. We may perhaps understand something of the attitude of the common people toward Thales school of philosophy from the story of the old woman who laughed when 'the master fell backward into a ditch after gazing too long at the stars. The old woman not only laughed, but she is If said to have called after him: you cannot see what Is under your feet, how can you understand what Is In heaven? and astronomy The geography taught In this school were very primitive: The earth was flat, the sun circled around It horizontally, being - concealed at night by high hills. One writer of the time describes the world In the following poetical way: God makes a mantle, large and fair and embroiders on It earth and ocean and oceans dwellings He Got the Job.

I was Just about to open the door when I saw It was our pastor. So I stood back behind the door and told my little son, Louis, to open the door and tell him I was at the store. But he pushed the door so far back that my toes stuck out from under the door, and when Louis told him I was All right, out, he laughed and said: sonny, but the next time your mamma goes out, tell her to take her feet with her. I have a chain on the door now. Assertion. I Contrary to popular belief, the mosquito lays only 50 or 100 eggs at a time; we naturally would suppose It laid about 1,000,000. The larval stage lasts seven to fourteen days. If you have a barrelful of mosquitoes under your eaves trough have a look at them. It to easier to spot the malarial kind than others. The harmless wrigglers hang with their heads down, but the malarial mosquito lies with its body parallel to the surface of the water. If a fullgrown mosquito bites you, look at its back, preferably with a microscope. If It has the figure of a lyre on Its back It Is bad medicine. If It to all one color It wont hurt you. Only the female mosquito will bite, according to a writer in the Saturday Evening Post. The males die in the fall, the females hibernating and then living one or two months. The male lives but a few days. No doubt you believe that mosquitoes live on blood alone, though you may have wondered how they get along In the remote wilderness where there seems to be no animal life, as, for instance, in the subarctic and arctic country. The truth Is that the mosquito also lives on the Juice of plants. They will bite almost any sort of animal, will bite reptiles and even caterpillars. Some mosquitoes can bite through a leather moccasin. Any of them can bite through a human hide. oOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOQOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0 o O Fierce o o o o o o o o o o o o Low Flame o , astonish you. mm Home Sector.
