WHAT A srANDaNG-ooLLAR DID.

ALI things are fair, 80 it is generally
thought, in war, in horse trade and in
law case. 1t is probably on that bad
rule that the late President Lincoln act
ed when he defeated ON antagonist before
o jury. The anecdote is thus told by
DIR. Bateman:
He was often pitted against eminent
lawyers during trials in Sangamon Coun-
ty Circuit Court. On one occasion he
was opposed by very able advocate,
who made powerful, eloquent and con.
vincing speech to the jury, and Mr.. Lin
coin saw that it had been very effective
on the minds Of. the jury. The gentle
man, moreover, was man who was very
precise in his dress, as well as manner
and oratory.
But Mr.. Lincoln had been observing
him, and saw flaw in his usually fault
less attire. "Gentlemen Of the jury"
said "Old Abe," when he arose 10.
speak, "the gentleman who has just
spoken has made strong argument
He has quoted the law and evidence,
and it is not for me to say that he is.
wrong. He may be correct in all he has
said. But want you to take look at
him. Look especially at his upper half,
and then, gentlemen, tell me if any man
who comes before you with his standing
collar buttoned wrong end to, with tho
points sticking away out behind his
ears, may not be altogether mistaken in
his arguments?" ?"
The plan was successful, MIR. Eincoln
had broken the srell which the elo-
quence Of his opponent had thrown over
the jury.

WHAT IS RNERTYAf

Inertia is that property which renders
q body incapable OF putting itself in
motion when at rest, or coming to rest
when in motion. When o stationary
body begins to move, or moving body
comes to rest, it is not through any
power of its own, but because it is acted
on by some external agency, which we
call force. That no ipanimate body
can put itself in motion is evident from
our daily experience. The rocks that we
saw on the earth's surface ten years ago
are to-day in precisely the same place
as they then were, and there they will
remain forever unless some force re-
moves them. 1t is equally true, though
not quite SO obvious, shat body once
in motion cannot ot itself cease to move.
The earth revolves on its axis, the heav-
enly bodies move in their orbits, just as
they did at the time Of the creation
they have no power to stop. 1t is true
that on the surface Of the earth NOV
ing body gradually comes to rest when
the force which put it in motion ceases to
act but this is owing to the resistance
of the air and O force which draws it
toward the center OF the earth--not to
any agency of its own. Remove oil ex-
ternal forces, and the inertia would keep
it moving ON in u straight line forever.
1t is in consequence of inertia that
horse has to strain hard at first to move
aload, which, when it IS once in motion,
he can draw with ease. A car, through
its inertia, continues moving after the
locomotive is detached. Through in
ertia person standing erect in sta
tionary boat or wagon is thrown back
ward If it suddenly stalts his feet,
touching the bottom, are carried for
ward with it, while his body, by its in
ertia, does not partake OF the onward
motion and falls backward. So, per-
son standing erect in boat or wagon
that is moving rapidly is thrown for
ward if it suddenly stops his feet cease
to move at once, while his body CON-
tinues in motion in consequence Of its.
inertia, and falls forward.

SUSPICIOUS SYMPTOMS.

A minister who was perhaps not too
careful in his habits was induced by his
friends to take the teetotal pledge. His
health appeared to suffer, and his doctor
ordered him to take one glass of punch
daily.
"Ohp said he, ~ dare not. Peggy,
my old housekeeper, would tell the
whole parish"
"When do you shaver" the doctor
asked.
"In the morning"
"Then, said the doctor, "shave at
night and when Peggy brings you up
your hot water, you can take your glass
of punch just before going to bed"
The minister afterward appeared to
improve in health and spirits. The
doctor met Peggy soon after and said,
Sim glad to hear, Peggy, that your
master is better"
"Indeed, sir, he's better, but his
brains affected; there's something
wrang wi his mind"
Glow 2"
"Why, doctor, he used to shave at
night before going to bed, but now he
shaves in the morn, he shaves before
dinner, he shaves at night-he's aye
Shawn"
The symptoms were, indeed, very sus-
picious.

sulNosed TO contain the "mayne por

,ehsne comes from its river, the name
bong derived from an Indian village on
the river" Tanasee." Ohio is named

thing great" with an accent OF admira.
ton. Indiana comes from the name OF
nn eurly land company. Illinois comes
from tho ladian-~the name of tribe.
Michigan is claimed to mean "lakc
couptry;" il probably came from the
pame OF the lake, ''Great Lake" which
bore this, nnme before the land adjacent
was named. Louisiana is from the
French. Arkansas and Missouri are In.
dian, the former being doubtful the
latter is claimed to mean in its Original

full meaning. Texas is popularity sup
posed to lie Indian, but may be Spanish.
florida is Spanish, "a Aowery land ,
Oregon has conjectural origin. IT is
probably Indian, but Spanish origin is
claimed. California comes from Span
ish romance Of 1910. Nevada takes its
name from the mountains, who gets
theirs from o resemblance to the Ne
vadas OF South America. Minnesota is
Indian, " "sky-tinted water" Nebraska
is variously rendered "shallow water
and fiat country" Kansas is from az
Indian root, Kaw, corrupted by tho
French. Mississippi is "great water, Z"
or "whole river" Alabama is Indian,
the name Of a fortress and tribe, signi-
flying, as is claimed, "here we rest"

An OLD SINNER.

An elder, while baptizing converts at n
revival meeting, advanced with wiry,
sharp-eyed old chap in the water, He
asked the usual question, whether there
was any reason why the ordinance of
baptism should not be administered.
After pause tall, powerful-looking
man, who was looking quietly on, re-
marked: "Elder, I don't want to inter-
fere in yer business, but I want to say
that this is an old sinner you have got
hold of, and that one dip won't do him
any good. If you want to get the sin
out of him you'll have to anchor him out
In the deep water all night"

Some one has ta,len the trouble To
collect statistics OF tho existing jew
pawnbrokers iii Great Britain. Their
total number is 4, ,372, and. during sin
gle year they take in,. it is estimated,
some 200,OO0,000 pledges. Returns
made by 73l pawnbrokers represented
business OF 80, ,50o, coo pledges, and the
total OF 200, 200, 600 is calculated from
these returns. IL Isappears that the 49,
500, 600 transactions involved 1887 cases
in the police courts and the arrest and
imprisonment OF 456 persons--facts that
do not Indicate as much irregularity and
trouble as might have been looked for.
Only 2,3ll OF the pledges were given
up. They represented total valuation
of So, 400.
