What is q /" az 2"

In that section of the country called
"down East" the word lag" is one OF
common use, but it appears to possess a
very different signiEcation there from
what it does 'out West" Webster
defines it as a ''small Ioad," but there arc
some who object to this de6n ition, claim
inq that a load must be full load; that
such thing as "small load" cannot be.
If the burden is less than full load,
some other term must lie used to correctly
express it. The word Gag" seems to
have been expressly coined for this place,
and it is certain that down East it is
used invariably to denote portion of q
load. If farmer is asked if he has got
all his hay in, he would reply, should the
facts warrant it: ''All but .iag." In the
West the word is entirely mi>applied, if
the above dissent from " eb'l"r is well
founded. The expression is seldom heard
except in the case of a drunken man.
One sees man laid out in drunken
stupor or staggering through the street
and he hears some one say, THAT chap
has a jag on" Everything indicates
that the party is full, has full load and,
therefore, it IS not a Tag" BY the
same token it is correct to say man has
lag on when he is little hilarious o,
ssiust so, so." There can be no question
as to there being big jags and little jags
even if there cannot be big and little
loads, it would, therefore, be hard to tel
how many "jags' it would take to make
..load. Chicago Herald.

Table Autocrats Suppressed.

Among many changes in the social
life of London, none perhaps is more
striking than the change in the fashion
of talk, writes g. w. Smalley, the Lon
don correspondent of the New York
TriJuns. The note of to-day is not the
note of twenty years ago, or OF the
generation which preceded. The litera-
ture, the biographical literature, the
"reminiscences of the last fifty years, are
full of the renown of great takers. Ma
caulay may be taken as type of them.
I have asked a number of persons who
knew Macaulsy we'll, who met him often,
who made part of the world he lived in,
who sat with him at table, who listened
to him, whether his immense reputation
was deserved. and whether he would
now be thought good talker. l quote
nobody, but sum up the general sense
of all the answers in one phrase-he
would be thought a bore. "Macaulay," !"
said. a talker, whose conversation ranged
over three generations, Ibid not talk,
he lectured. He chose his 'subjc it
mattered little what, and be delivered a
discourse on it. Now, no dinner table
would stand it; he would be stopped,
contradicted, his long stories vetoed no
monopoly or monopolist is tolerated. II

pedia." Everything now is touch and
90. Topics are treated lightly, and
above all, briefly. The autocrat who
held sway over the company and forced
them to listen, has vanished. Iou may
tell a story, but you must, in Haywardi
phrase, cut it. to the bone. If you DO
not cut it short you will be cut into, and
before you are half way through another
man will have begun and finished his, and
your audience will have gone over to the
enemy. Worse still, if you persist, you
may for once have your way, but it will
be for once only, your host makes the
appalling discovery that you are I'M
possible, and he asks you not again
neither he nor any of the company. No
reputation is so universal as that of the
bore; no other criminal is so stunned
nv his felloW-men.

MisuuOted Lines.

It is a peculiar faculty of human mem
ory, says the Philadelphia Times, to mis-
quote proverbs and poetry, and almost
invariably to place the credit where 1t
does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that ''the
Lord tempers the wind rv The shorn
lamb" is from the Bib e, whereas Law
renee Sterne is the author.
"Pouring oil upon the troubled waters
is also ascribed to the sacred volume,
whereas it is not there; in fact no one
knows it's origin. ,,
Again, we hear people say: "The
proof of the pudding is in chewing the
string" This is arrant nonsense, and
the proverb says:
"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof and not in chewing the
string"
Nothing is more common than to
hear:
ga man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still"
This is an impossible condition of
mind, for no one can be convinced of
an opinion and at the same time hold to
an opposite one. What Butler wrote
was emiucntly sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is OF the same opinion still.
A famous passage of scripture is often
misouoted thus: "He that is without
sin among you, let him cast the first
stone" 1t should read: ''Let him cast
stone."
We also hear that ga miss is as good
as a mile" which is not as sensible or
forcible as the true proverb: ga miss of
an inch is as good as mile"
''Look before you leap" should be:
"And look before you ere you leap"
Franklin said: Honesty is the best
policy" but the maxim is of Spanish
origin, and may be found in "Doa
Quixote."

Secretiye OrientalS

There is a secrecy among Orientals
which is rarely eaualed among Euro-
peans. They live so entirely apart and
their manners and customs are so totally
opposite to those of the white masters OF
India that political movement may be
be on foot and have permeated the masses
before We are thoroughly aware Of its
Importance. Thus any outbreak would
be sudden and unexpected. Although
life and property under British rule IS
safeguarded beyond all precedent in ORR
entail history, the race animosity exists,
and we are simply obeyed because India
is not strong enough to resist. The dark
skinned masses will never love their
white conquerors. This is fact which
should be ever present to the eyes OF our
administrators. We rule because VIC are
supposed to possess the power to enforce
obedience: we ore obeyed because of the
disintegrating force of caste preJudlces,
which prevent concerted action among
the Indian races. Were the $50, ,OO0, O9O
unanimous, their united action would
turn us out. And still we sleep unsus-
piciusly upon the slope of the volcano
without anxiety or car. Upon dark
midnight twenty roofs might suddenly
burst into flame at widely spread inter-
walls in the environments of Jubbulpur.
A score of natives with bottles of petro-
leum to throw upon the thatch might
simultaneously ignite the principal
bungalows of the station, and gen
eral attack might be made during the
confusion. The "alarm" would sound
in barracks, and officers would be COM
PEELED to hurry to their posts, without a
place of refuge for their wives and chill
dren. The railway station would be at
tackled and the rolling stock carried oil
at the moment of the outbreak; the can
tonments would be invested by the
rebels, without protection of any kind
for the defenders, and without the posi-
bility of retreat. This is rot only q
possibility, but a very obvious contln-
gency, and yet we live in foops para
disc without care or thought Of the NOR
row. All military stations throughout
India should not only be fortified, but
the railway stations should be under the
Immediate protection of the fort to in.
sure the safety of the rolling stock and
access to the line. have heard officers
of distinction admit this necessity, but
they have iered objection to such a
movement present, ''lest the natives
should be rendered suspicious by sud
den defensive action upon our part. -

process by keeping the management OF

insisted that he should make written
'ecord Of his experiments for use IN such
