Wisdom of the Talmud HE name Talmud, which means “instruction,” is given by the Jews to a body of laws, regula- tions and teachings which are said to have been first put together by a Icarned rabbi, Jchuda ha-Nasi, in the third century after Christ, and which were sub- sequently augmented by other Jewish teachers. ‘That ‘a ich is known as the “ Mishna” (law) is interesting because of its varied charac- ter, containing anecdotes, parables and bits of prac- tical philosophy, many of which strikingly resemble some of the sayings of Christ, while others recall modern proverbs—which latter, very possibly, ha taken their origin in the sayings of the Jewish The brief extracts here translated consist, however, of wise maxims based upon the universal experience of mankind and animated by a ‘spirit of high morality: . He who seeks a brother without a fault will have to remain without a brother. When the ox falls down the butchers are many. If your wife is small, bend down in order to listen to her advice. ‘That which a child says beyond the house it has hin the house. y to lead a man on the way which he de- Discord is like a leak in a cistern. Drop by drop all the water gradually escapes. Do not wait to show honor to the physician until you are taken sick. Devotion with little prayer is better than much prayer without devotion, If a man does not seek wisdom, wisdom will not seek him. He who destroys the reputation of his fellow is a murderer.

If you think your friend is honey do not consume him altogether. ‘Things that are new are the things that are best; but friends that are old are the friends that are best. He who frowns in giving gives but little; he who smiles in giving gives abundantly. He who watches his field daily finds at last a har- vest there. Incompetent servants ask for orders after a thing has happened. The soldiers do the fighting and the kings are ified as heroes. { looks first into the heart of man and then into his mind. —Scrap Book. Rooks Observe Sunday LL the animal world appears to know a Sunday from a week day. ‘There is a tradition in Lan- cashire, and perhaps elsewhere, that the rooks always commence building on the first Sunday in March. This has been frequently verified by observation, and the punctuality of the rooks might almost claim to exceed the limits of coincidence. —Country Life. gl ITTLE WILLIE: S. a moral? : A play with a moral, my son, is usually a play is shy of morality.—Chicago News. pa, what is a play with P.
