To "Ride" or to Drive"

A young woman having appealed to
the San for the correct usage of the
words ride and drive, that authority in
formed her that .'if Young woman
goes out on horseback with a young man
she rides with him; but if she goes with
him in carriage or buggy she
drives with him." From this dictum the
Washington Post dissents, declaring
that there is no foundation for it, either
in grammar or in best current usage.
"As matter of fact" it says, lone
does ride in a carriage, and usually
does not drive, but hires cheap man
to drive for him. 1t will answer well
enough in England, where equestrians
are common, To make the discrimina-
ton which the san explains, but it has
no application to this country, where
there are more who ride on bicycles
than on horseback" The usage in this
part of the country among many culti-
waited people who are not mere ''verbal
dudes and rhetorical exquisites" sane
tions the distinction made by the San.
But there is no authority for it in the
best English dictionary. Stormouth
gives the words as synonymous. A
s.ride' is IAN excursion on horseback
or in vehicle" and to ride is to "be
VI 2ptTI on horseback" A "drfveh is, ac-
cording to same authority, "a ride or
excursion in a carriage" while the verb
signifies ito guide or regulate, as the
horses in q carriage" This would seem
to limit the driving to the one who
drives, all others in the carriage simply
riding. The obvious and root meaning
is commonly the best. One certainly
rides, but does not drive on horseback; /;
he rides, but may not drive, in vehi-
Gle. To say that you have been out
driving" conveys plainly enough the
fact that you have been in Il carriage.
To say that you have been riding
may require a descriptive word to tell
the whole story. 1t was this fact, prob
ably, which led the country folks 10 say
"buggy-riding" and horseback rid
ing" The latest word, ''horseback-
ing" is dreadful. The sum of the mat
ter is that it is correct to say either ITO
drive" or Ito ride to indicate an sex
cursion in a carriage" and that to in
dictate an equestrian excursion plainly
one must say Sin the saddle" or ION
horseback ."-BoStOll Herald.

The Microscopic Structure of the
Woods

An inspection of the different species
shows the marked diversity in the struc-
ture and appearance of the woods, and
one is quickly relieved of the general
impression that they are all alike. Ex-
amined microscopically, the differences
in structure are sufficient for identifca-
ton of the species, ami at the same
time enable one to judge of the suita-
bility of particular wood for definite
uses. So little has been done in this
country in the microscopical study of
the woods for engineering, architectural,
or mechanical purposes, that but few
are aware of the variety in form and
structure of the wood cells, ducts, and
special iibers which make up the woody
tissue of the different species. An eX-
pert can readily determine whether a
certain wood, used for railroad-ties,
will sustain the service of II trunk line
or is only suitable for 4 branch of limit
ed traffic.
In the ConJcra, which includes the
pines, cedars, larches, red-woods,
spruces, and frs, as Il rule, each layer
of growth only has two kinds of wood
cells called tracheids, one of thin walls
and large lumen, and the other of
thick walls and a small lumen; when
the former predominates, making near
ly all of the layer. the wood is generally
soft, and in the white pine (Pinus Stor-
6uS, L. }, the cedars, red-woods, spruces,
and firs. When the thick-walled cells
form one fourth to one half of the layer,
the wood is much harder, as in the
long-leaf yellow pine (Pi'aus pdlatstriS,
Mild, Hnus nlitiS, and the larches. On
the thin-walled cells of all the species of
the Contferg are dome-like or lenticu-
lar markings, principally on the sides
parallel to the medullary rays.
The thick-walled cells are often mark
ed on the sides at right angles to the
medullary rays. The COniJere have
more or less resinous products, and the
presence or absence of the upright resin
canals aid in distinguishing the genera,
while the form and character of the
medullary rays, the presence or absence
of rasin-ducts, the character of the cells,
enable the species to be identified. In
the alburnum or sap-wood, the starch is
confined to the cells around the rasin-
canals and in the cells of the medullary
rays.
The cellular structure of the oaks,
chestnuts, hickories, ashes. walnuts,
NAPLES, beeches, birches, and magnolias
is far more complex and more highly
differentiated than that of the conifers;
beside the wood-cells, there are ducts,
vessels, and special cells containing
starch in the alburnum or sap-wood.
In nearly all the species of the first five
orders mentioned, the ducts grow in
concentric rows, in the first of the sea-
sons growth; those which form later
may be inclined through the layer of
wood-cells. becoming smaller as they
approach the outer portion. In the live
oak, the ducts run radially through the
ring, and the small fibers are nearly
solid, giving the wood great hardness,
making it so valuable for ship-building.

Artificial Noses.

Artificial noses are generally attached
to the face by spectacles. About five
years ago San Francisco dentist made
for Chinese woman, whose face was
horribly disfigured, a celluloid nose.
The organ was attached by gold
spring to the upper jaw in the manner
in which single teeth are affixed The
spring ran up to where the bridge of
the nose should have been, and to this
spring the artificial nose and lip were
attached by an il dia-rubber loop. The
combined pressure of the spring and
india-rubber drew the celluloid mask so
close to the face that, being nodded to
fit the cheeks, it would have looked
quite natural but for the lack of tran
sparency which living tissue possesses.
OF course our funny paragrapher had
to have his say after this bit of news
appeared. He ut once boldly stated
that man out west had a cork nose.
when he keeps SOBER" said the writ
er, lit gives him no trouble; but when
he is out drinking with friends they
want TO borrow it for stopper every
time they lose the corks out of their
TASKS"
There is true story of French sena-
large nose of which he was somewhat
proud. He was once riding III a train,
when child, who was in the same car
riage, and who had watched the states
man for some time with dlated eyes,
began to cry rs if its heart would break.
The mother could not console il. The
little one was afraid of the senator's big
nose, and the mother quietly explained
that her child had just come from the
masquerade, where he had been partic-
ularly excited by the display OF large
noses. She concluded by requesting
the statesman to take off his nose, ''tor
you, see," she explained, ''for some
good reason best known to yourself, are
prolonging the carnival" The senator
protested that he could not accommoS
date her, assuring the lady that his
proboscis was not false nose, but his
| own. Touch it," said he. The lady
gave pull at the senator's nose, but il
did not come off in her hand. "a
thousand pardons," she said; "but pray
oh pray. hide it with your hatr' The
distinguished statesman complied with
this singular request, continued his
| Journey with his nose in his hat, and
the child's screams subsided.-BroOE.

Lucky Numbers in Cards.

"Do you believe in certain numbers
being more lucky than others" asked
reporter the other day of a gambler,
who was said to play on a system and
was consequently 'about stone broke"
"Yes, do,' was the reply, ''but am
bers as some people. II You come along
with me l will introduce you to friend
of mine who swears by them and has
no end of anecdotes.
The reporter and the gambler accord
ingly wended their way to downtown
restaurant where the man they were
looking for was found discussing little
stew.
'tDo l believe in certain numbers be-
ing lucky? Well you bet do-and why
not? Have you ever studied the ques-
tion?"
The reporter confessed that he had
not.
"Well then I'll explain. You see, card
players believe there is good luck under
the deuce and bad luck under the nine
of diamonds. One theory says that even
numbers are unlucky, because each can
be divided in two thereby denoting
death and desolation. Some people
favor odd cards because God is one in
Inree, anu because he Haue the HOly
dav the seventh. The number and its
multiples were on other grounds made
lucky; because human being sheds his
teeth at 4; because a youth is twice z;
and a man three Is, and reaches the
limit at ten times Z. l have heard an
old superstition that three handfuls of
sand on a dead body are as good as a
funeral Some people have knack of
making ont lucky and unlucky years
for people by adding together the year
of our Lord the digits which compose
that number. the age of the individual
and the number of years between his
birth, and marriage or some other nota-

A Wise Humming-Bird.

Wisdom does not depend on size, as
you all know, my dears. The ant and
the bee, in fact, often seem to know
more than some of the largest animals.
The humming-bird, too, though the
smallest of birds. is not lacking in intel
ligence. A friend of the Deacon tells
pleasant little story of one that was try
ing to secure the honey from flower
with deep cup, and at the same time
was plainly very tired. The flower
grew near porch where family was
Sitting, and. seeing the trouble OF the
bird, a young girl walked slowly toward
him, holding out her finger. The tired
bird looked sharply at her and then ac-
cepted the offered perch, alighted on the
finger. and, when it was held close to
the flower, returned to his work of
honey-gathering. The girl stood quiet
ly, and he used her finger as resting
place till he had finished his meal, when
he flew away home. A wise hummlng-
bird that, say land a wise girl, too.
