Shakesperian Slang.

The power of Shakespeare over the
public is shown by the extent to which
his phrases, and even his slang, has be-
come incorporated into our language.
In this point, indeed, he is unequaled.
Among these is "bag and baggage,
dead as a door nail, proud of ones
humility" " tell the truth and shame the
devil, " hit or miss, " love is blind, +"
selling for song" "wide world, {"
"cut copies, " fast and loose" uncon-
sidered trihes," westward no, ''famii-
arity breeds contempt" patching up
excuses, misery makes strange bed
fellows, "to boot" lin trade), "short
and long of it." "comb your head with
a three-legged stool" dancing attend

of a feather" that's fiat" "tag-rag,
"Greek to me" (unintelligible), "send

others of equal familiarity. The girl

Shakespeare, and even loggerhead" is
of the same origin. 'tExtempore" is first
found in Shakespeare, and so are 'alman-
acs." The "elm and vine" Gas a figure),
may also be mentioned. Shakespeare is
the first author that speaks of ." the man
in the moon, or mentions the potato, or
uses the term "eyesore, for annoyance.
Another often quoted utterance may be
here mentioned, simply because it is gener-
ally misunderstood: "One touch of
nature makes the whole world kin, {"

Poetic Arabs.

Through every part of the Arabia
desert, says Burckhardt, poetry is equal
ly esteemed. Many persons are found
who make verses of true measure, al
though they cannot either read or write
yet, as they employ, on such occasions,
chosen terms only and as the purity of
their vernacular language is such as to
preclude any grammatical errors, these
verses after passing from mouth TO mouth,
may at last be committed to paper, and
will most commonly be called regular
and correct. presume that the greater
part of the early poetry of the Arabs
which has decended to us is derived
from similar compositions. Ibn Saoud
had assembled the best poets of the
Desert of Derayeh; he delighted in poetry,
and very literally rewarded those who
excelled in it. According to the Arab
custom, if a reputable poet address some
verses to a sheika, or a distinguished
warrior, he will receive camel or some
sheepas present The largesses, which
in former times we're bestowed on poets
by Arabian Chiefs are still the subject Of
frequent conversation aneSg +he Bedo'

"Rauner of Light" at the time, and was
much commented on by the medical fra
ternity.
Not long ago l had thres or four cases of
dropsy. One of them lived twenty miles
from here, In these cases sometimes the
persons swell to an enormous size.

ing mediciue-one that have used in all
similar cases for six years, namely, Hunts
Remedy; and give it to them in the original

its superior merits and specific action upon

In short, Hunts Remedy cures when every

HEALTH HINTS.

Exercise to the extent of great fatigue
does more harm than good.
A hearty meal, taken while excessively
fatigued, has often destroyed life.
Chilliness of body dampens the spirits,
sours the temper and renders the whole
man unlovely
The best anodyne in all nature is
moderate, steady and continuous exercise
in the open air.
The thinnest veil or silk handkerchief
thrown over the face while riding or walk
ing against cold wind is q remarkably
comfortable protection.
Nine-tenths of the inmates of insane
asylums who recover are those who are
sent within year after the first mani
festation of their infrmity.
Life is warmth, growth, repair and
power, to labor, and all these are derived
from the food we eat and the fluids we
drink, and these should be good.
Never sit OF stand with the wind blow
ing on you for a single moment, for it
speedily produces a chill, to be followed
with fever and then bad cold.
The worst cold may be promptly cured
if, within twenty-four hours after it has
been taken, the patient will keep warm
in bed and eat little or nothing for a day
or two.
Cleanliness in all the surroundings of
family mansion pays richly in many
ways, in good health, moral elevation,
personal comfort, and dollars and cents
beside
In going out into colder air, keep the
mouth resolutely closed, and walk brisk
ly for few minutes, thus preventing
chilliness, which is always the precursor
of cold.
A good cleansing of the entire body
with soap and warm water once a week
is all the bathing the human system re-
quires for purposes of health, in ordinary
circumstances.
Nature is very much like a shiftless
child, who, the more he is helped the
more he looks for it. The more medi-
cine man takes, the more he will have
to take, whether it be anodyne, tonic or
Alternative.
The portion of the body which most
requires protection against cold and wind
is that between the shoulder-blades be-
hind, as it is at this point the lungs are
attached to the body, and the blood is
easily chilled.
To spend two or three moments, on
rising and retiring, in rapid frictions of
the whole surface of the body with the
hand is more rational treatment of the
skin, and more health-promoting opera
ton, for most persons, than a daily cold
water bath.
At every period of life, at ali seasons
of the year, and from the tropics to the
poles, in every cline and country, the
temperature of the human body in
health is the same to degree, that is
ninety eight of Fahrenheit; hence we
should eat in winter mainly of warming
food, such as meats, fats, oils, sugar and
all the grains, farinas and starches; in
summer, the fruits and berries, and mel
ons and vegetables of the field, the gar
den and the orchard, which cool and
open and ventilate the system.-HaIps

The Bible.and.Key Test for Theft.

Reports of 'rowsn between the Anna
IONS, of London alleys, do net often fur
nish such interesting reading as does a
case which was before a Thames police
magistrate the other day. Mrs. Lyons, it
seems, had missed" her shawl and she
made up her mind to find out the thief by
means of the unfailing test of the "Bible
and key" The door key with piece of
string attached was accordingly laid in
side the Bible, with the wards fiat upon
the leaves. Mrs Lyons then closed the
book, took hold of the part of the key
which she had left projecting, and pro-
ceeded TO pronounce the names of various
suspects, " repeating after each name the
following incantation:
Turn, Bible, turn, turn round the KEY;
Turn, key, turn, and show the name to me
At the name of Mrs. O'Brien the KEY
gave such a turn that it twisted itself out
of her hand and fell on the floor. There
are, however, several Mrs. O'Briens in the
neighborhood-a contingency for which
the test of the Bible had been unprepared.
and the confusion which naturally fol
lowed led to the ''row" in question. Pal

There is no end of reasons why the
telegraph and telephone people should
run their wires underground. The new
est comes from Armenia. 1t seems that
the Armenian women are renowned as
the cleanest in Turkey, the Dutch of the
East. They are at the wash-tub all the
time, and when they have washed batch
of clothes they hang them on the tele-
graph wires to dry. Snow-white and
damp clothes, even when well rung out,
are as heavy as snow itself, and the re-
suit can be easily conjectured. The con-
slant necessity for repairs. arising from
this inconvenient habit, has compelled
the telegraph director of Erzroom to take
a journey along his line for the purpose
of begging the women to hang their wash
somewhere else.
