whom the horse had been returned were con-

elated, approached, and throwing his long,
muscular arms around Musgrave, with quick
wrench, and trip of the foot, brought the latter
on his knees. The horsemen, who were Sabine s

"THREE CHEERS AND TIGER The Boston
Saturday Evening Gazette gives the following
history of the origin of the expressive growl
which under the name of g tiger" has acquiY-
ed general popularity in this part of the
country.
" In 1922 the Boston Light Infantry, under
Captain Macintosh and Lieut. Robert G. Win
throp, visited Salem and encamped in Wash
ington square, and during their stay few of
the members indulgcd in sports incidental to
camp Duty when some visitor exclaimed to
one who was little rough, "Oh, you Ii
ger!" 1t became catch word, and az a term
of playful reproach, You're Tiger was adop-
ted as one of the peculiar phrases of the corps.
On the route to Boston some musical genius
sang an impromptu line, Oh, you Tiger, dont
you know to the air of Rob Roy McGregor,
oh ! Of course the appellation soon induced
the Tigers by name to initiate the actions of
the Tiger, and the grow' was introduced.
and at the conclusion of three cheers a tiger
was invariably called for.
" In 1896 the Infantry visited New York,
being the first volunteer corps to make a trip
from this city to another state, and while there
the Tigers at Il public festival awoke the echoes
and astonished the Gotbamites by giving the
genuine howl. 1t pleased the fancy of the hosts
and gradually it became adopted on all festive
and joyous occasions, and now three cheers
and tiger are the inseperablc demonstrations
of appreciation in that city. Here it is still
marked popularity of the corps"

This movemet is an important one in many
respects for the differnt colonies Interested A
union of them all under ono central govern
ment, would add largely to their dignity and
Importance, while the governmental machinery
by reduction of the number Of independent
officials, if not an abolition of the minor colon
al " COURTS" which we may suppose would be
one rosult-would be carried on at diminish
ed cost. The internal improvement of the
country, which has already begun, could be
carried out more comprehensively, more rapidly
and to the greater advantane of all British
North America. A more thorough develop
ment of the material resources of the country
would result. Rivalry Of interest would in a
great measure be removed, and the prosperity
of the country thereby advanced, and feeling
of unity and consanguinity would be cultivated
which would exert great influence upon the his
tory of the people. Such union, if it occurs
may b. looked upon as decided step towards
independence of the Mother Country.

Curlosities from Shakespeare--No. Q.

EDITOR FREEMAN:-The curiosity of the stu
aent OF Shakespeare, will be kept constantly
awake by the frequent occurrence of the most
common expressions that are current in our day.
BY the aid of the commentaries that have been
written, from time to time, on this author. we
are enabled not only to understand the force OF
many OF those expressions, but to learn their
origin And while We are studying on these
apparently trivial expressions, we are forming
nuclil around which will cluster many of the
nooiest sentiments that are to be found in our
language. This study will greatly facilitate the
recollection of the scenes in which thew occur

speaking OF any inanimate object, it is coii1-
mon to say :" 1t is as dead as door-nail.''
While | confess that until recently I was utterly
ignorant of the meaning of this comparison, |
Will say that do not believe one in a thousand
OF those who use it could give any clue to its
meaning. In Scene III, Act V, Part Second of
klng Henry w., Pistol brings to Sir John Fall
staff the news of the death of the King. Fal-
stall says, " What is the old king dead -
Pistol replies, Gas nail in door" Since the
substitution of the door bell for the ancient
$ mocker,' such a comparison loses its force.
The door nail is the nail in ancient doors ON
which the knocker strikes. 1t was therefore
used as comparison for one rrecoverably dead,
one who had fallen (as Virgil says) multi n.ortc,
l. e. with abundant death, such as reiterated
strokes on the head would produce.
In stimulating one to hazardous or frightful
attempt, we say, GO Screw your courage up to
the sticking point" In Macbeth, Scene VII,
Act L, Lady Macbeth in urging her husband to
the murder of Duncan, says
But screw your courage to the sticking place.

Shakespeare probably took this metaphor from
the screening up the chords of stringed instru-
monts to their proper degree of tension. when

AN APT ILLUsTRATIoN.-Col. Forney's Press
noticing how rapidly the successive Governors
of Kansas have found themselves compelled to
take sides with the abused people of the Terri
tory, quotes this most fitting illustration from
scriptural history
" And Saul sent messengers to take David !:
and when they saw the company of prophets
phrophesying, and Samuel standing, as appoint
ed, over them, the spirit of God was upon the
messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied
And when it was told Saul, he sent other mes
scngers and they prophesied likewise. And
Saul sent messengers again u third time, and
they prophesied also And then went he also
to Ramah, and came to great well that is in
Sechu and asked and said, d" where are Samu-
el and David?" And one said I" behold, they
be at Naioth, in Ramah' And he went thith-
er to Naioth, in Ramah, and the spirit of God
was upon him also, and he went on, and proph-
esied uutil he came to Naioth, in Ramah And
he stripped off his clothes also, and lay down
naked all that day and all that night. Where
fore they say, is Saul also among the proph-
