Queer Things in Words.

sec that writers in our public journals
are now busily engaged in task over
which / often tortured my brain as a boy
tho number of transpositions that can be
made out of Gray's line:
'The ploughman homcward plods his weary
way"
cannot see why this line should have
been always selected from many other lines
of English verse that are capable of just rs
many transpositions. The sentence, John
lies buried here" contains but four words,
yet it is capable Of twenty four transposi-
tons, all making good sense and good Eng
lish. If the seven words comprising Gray's
| line were capable, like the four words in
the sentence that | have here given, of
making good sense and good English in
what ever position you might arrange them
they would be capable of fire thousand and
forty transpOsitiOns.
Hero arc a few remarkable illustrations
of the change of meaning that can be eff
fccted in certain sentences by a change of
accent and pause;
In the 18th chapter of |. Kings occurs
this passage: Saddle me the ass so they
saddled him the ass" A young Clergyman
read it thus: Saddle me the ass and they
saddlcd him the ass Again, let the reader
observe how many various meanings can bc
given the following question by change
of accent from one word to another, begin
ming by accounting the first "Will You ride
to town tomorrow -
Now as regards pause: A certain hu.
morist gives us the following reading of u
familiar passage in SOOm0n's Proverbs
"The wicked fee (lca), when no man
pursueth but the righteous, is bold as Il
lion" A strange announcement this to
cntOmolOgists.
A distinguished English actor, cnragcd at
an unappreciativo audience, Kissed out the

The Women OF Ehibet.

The respectable women Of Thibet al

charms, and thus prevent trail men
from the pcris Of too great admiration.
Before going out Of doors they invnria-
b.y black their faces with black, gluti'
nous varuish, something like current
Jelly in appearance; tho object being
to render themselves as unattractive as
possible. they daub this composition
over every feature, so rs to render their
faces, rs unlike those Of human beings
AS possible. Mr.. Hue, in his travels in
the country, aScertained that the sin
gular custom had its origin in the de-
cree Of Lama king, some 200 years
aye. This king being a man ofaustert
habits, was desironA Of checking The
license which prevailed among the peO'
pie, and which had even spread to the
priests of the BudList monaSteres to

line, and issued al cdict that no Wom-
IA should anpcar in public otherwise

were perfectly resigned aud o5edient

eheortu'y adopted, aud mas been faith
