Memories of a visit to St Paul
In a sporting goods store, you can
self-heating cans of coffee, beans,
and spaghetti. You just turn the can
upside down, punch four holes in it,
wait 10 minutes and the contents are
piping hot—or so I was told . . .
And there’s a bit of the romantic con-
nected even with the blankets they
sell. Pointing to the design, a friend
said, ’This is a 3Vi point blanket,”
and explained that—in the 1700’s—
Indians swapped ftirs for blankets
and a “3V4 point” one meant it was
priced at three large beaver skins

More Proverbs From the French
Wisdom is on the lips of those
about to die.
Cowardice is the mother of cruelty.
He who lives without folly is not
so wise as he thinks.
Contrary to general belief, real
poets are not long-haired dreamers
but are men of action. Byron swam
the Hellespont—no mean achieve-
ment—and he died while aiding the
Greeks in their fight for freedom.
Those were not empty words he
wrote:
“The isles of Greece, the isles of
Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and
sung. . . .
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all except their sun is set.
Tlie mountains look on Marathon,
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone.
I dreamed that Greece might still
be free . . .
For standing on the Persians'
grave
I could not deem myself a slave.”
• *
A now for something in lighter
mood, written no doubt by a sour
old bachelor:
“The knot was tied; the pair were
wed,
And then the smiling bridegroom
said
Unto the preacher, ‘Shall I pay
To you the usual fee today,
Or would you have me wait a year
And give you then a hundred clear,
If I should find the marriage state
As happy as 1 estimate’
The preacher lost no time in
thought.
To his reply no study brought,
There were no wrinkles on his
brow.
Said he, ‘I'll take three dollars
now.' ”
• *
Really expressing the deep rever-
ence that all men truly feel for wo-
manhood are these lines:
“They talk about a woman’s sphere
As though it had a limit;
There’s not a place in earth or
heaven,
There's not a task to mankind
given.
There’s not a blessing or a woe,
There’s not a whispered yes or no,
There’s not a life, or death, or
birth,
That has a feather’s weight of
worth—
Without a woman in it.”
