Origin of Familiar Proverbs.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Truth is stranger than felton, was in
vented by an editor as head line to a
twenty line lie so monstrously extravagant
that he knew nobody would believe ten
words of it. The original use of this pro-
verb is continued unto this day. Whenever
you see that line in a newspaper don't you
believe a word you read under it.
''Fll make a spoon or spoil horn, +" was
the thought of a man who never made a
spoon in all his life, and who knew per-
fectly well that he couldn't make one, and
only took mean mans malicious delight
in spelling horn. P. S.-For man who
likes to take his horn straight the introduce
ton of a spoon always spoils it.
"a wink is as good as a nod to blind
horse" was said by man with a stiff neck,
who wanted to nod, but couldn't. AL
though why any sane man should wish
either to wink OF nod at a blind horse no
man can tell.

police justice when he bound the tough over

GAPS well that ends SWELL was said by
murderer who killed a dude. The name
of the murderer is suppressed lest he should
be overrun with more orders than he could
fill, and thus be compelled to hire a clerk,
who would eventually run off with all the
money.
''Alrs fare in love and war;" was the in
spired thought of a railroad conductor.
zone swallow does not make summer"
was the brilliant remark of man who was
trying to see how many swallows do make
summer. Nota bene-If the thermom-
eter got half so high as the experiment ter
did, the dog days came right along on the
heels of Christmas that year. The record
of the swallows however, was lost in the
dim mists of Oblivion, the great Irish
swallOwer.

which he had labored twelve years, said:
''Write makes smite." And then he smote

Northern Pacific Safety System.

The new plan adopted by the Northern
Pacific month ago of doing the baggage
and express business in the same car and
having the express messenger attend to
both by making through run to Portland,
is meeting with a success beyond what the
company expected. The company has now
it's baggage and express cars fitted up in
the convenient manner they intended when
the new departure was inaugurated. The
safe in the car is perhaps one of the most
complete cOntrivances ever put on a rail
way 1t has two doors to it; one outside
and the other openining on the inside of the
car. To the outside door the messenger
has key, and the money he collects at
local stations OH the line he puts inside and
it goes into the chamber which is gained
only from the inside door, the entrance to
which the messenger does not know the
combination. This is known only to Off
Gals at common points on the line and on
arrival at these, the safe is opened and the
money and valuables gathered between
is taken out. The company advertises this
and the precaution defeats any attempt of
entrance by robbers, nor can the messenger
get at the money himself. The doors of
the car are bullet-proof and will stand lots
of butting. The run from ST. Paul to Port
land and return takes eight days, the longest
express run in the world.
