very well with the mother city, and one

had It out In tha pioneer sea fight of

Corinth naturally felt pretty sore over
tha disgrace of being licked by one of
her colonies, and, "galh'rlng her browa

It wae a long wait-OI year before her

About an B. C. Ins Corvyraans. having
a dispute " with" Corinth, appealed to
Athena for aeeletsuce. Athena heard tha
appeal favorably, and that gave Corinth
the opportunity ehe had long been looking
for, and aha made the must of It. Obtain

The Right Road to Health

Tha old hate, born of that first sea'
fight HI years years before, was bearing.
Ita fruit In tha. shape of the famous
Peloponnaalan war. which was to leaf
for twenty-seven years and to work tha
harm lo the higher human. Interests
which time should never be able to undo.
Hera arc soma of tha things for which
tha Peloponnesisn war la responsible,
It divided tha Oreeka, and thua mads It
possible for them to ba overrun, later en,
by Maosdon and Rome.
It destroyed the Athenian empire,1 the
grealaat agent of progressive civilisation
that, tha world has ever known. ' ,
It arrested, la a word, tha great human
advance In art, science, - eloqueeoe sad'
song, which bad only Just fairly started,
under tha administration of Pericles. at
Athena, and thus paved the. way for
eighteen centuries of. mental darkness
and decrepitude. , ..... t
Not until tha middle ot tha fourteenth,
century, when Petrarch began alnglnc
tha morning songa of tha revival ot let-
tare, did humanity begin to emerge from'
the Intellectual and social equator that,
was made possible by that famous (or
rather Infaraoui) Peloponnaalan war, the
meat terrible disaster that aver befell th
human race,
And It all cama about aa a result of
tha hate engendered by that first Sea'
