WHAT Is A BOTTLE?
An Amusing Discussion Over the Def

composed Of literary, scientific and professional
men, and the conversation was good, for sew
eral Of those present were accomplished
takers, when suddenly all were hushed at the
question proposed in tones slightly louder than
usual: "Well, define BOTTLE
1t was asked by Fellow of the Royal 30.
ciety of Edinburgh and put to Fellow Of the
Royal Society of London.
The conversation betwixt them had been
keen, for both were quick witted and ready OF

1t was apparently O very simple question
and the decanters on the table helped to al

the matter: "a hollow glass receptacle to

An explosion Of laughter followed, which

How about stone bottles and leather bot
ties? Besides, bottles may hold powders"
Again the fellow of the most learned of all
societies essayed his luck, but was a. far of az
ever.
"A hollow receptacle with a narrow orifice to
admit of its being closed"
and the definition would include Q shell or a
gourd or even q barrel"
At this the questioned one began to perceive
that the definition was not such an easy matter
and further consideration Of the subject de-
monstrated the difficulties to be encountered
in the seemingly simple matter A bottle is a
bottle and the torn readily calls up an impress
sion, but the definition of q bottle soon be-
comes description. In fact, the more q bottle is
looked at the more difficult it ID to find defini-
ton oft that will hold good. Bottles, too, have
rims and some have lips, but other bottles again
have neither.
Some bottles have practically no necks, no
truly narrowed orifce capable Of being closed.
while others possess in their long nscks their
most conspicuous feature.
Other bottles, again, are not intended 10 be

carafe, for instance.
Consequently the narrowed orifce" would
not hold good of all A bottle Is seemingly q
very simple affair but il is not easily defined.
In fact it may be grayely doubted whether q
bottle can be defined or not.

Bible upon which he took che oath of Office

Corinthian and Saroaic CULTS Of Greece.
This canal across the Isthmus Of Corinth,
which is to render unnecessary the voyage

miles long, about the length Of the Hoosac
tunnel, but it will beat even that famous
work in the lapse Of time between its in
ception and completion. 1t was suggested
by Perlander, one of the seven wise men
OF Greece, nearly Geo years before Christ;
again by Denetrius Pol&orcstes in 800 B. c.,
and once mare by Julius Caesar in so 3: c.

Dawn is din en- the dark soft water,
Sota and passionate, dark and sweet;
loves own self was the deep seas daughter.
Fair and howaess from face to feet;
Hailed Of ali when the world was golden.
Loved of lovers whose flames beholden
Thrill mems eyes as withslight Of olden
Days more glad than their fight was feet.
So they sang; but for men that love her,
SOUS that hear not her word in vain.
Earth beside her and heaven above her
Seem but shadows that wax and wane
Softer than sleeps are the seas careSses,
Kinder than loves that betrays and hlesses,
Buther than springs when her dowerful tresses
Shake forth sunlight and shine with rain.
All the strength of the waves that perish
Swelis beneath me and laughs and sighS
Signs for love of the life they cherish,
Laughs TO know that it lives and dies:
Dies for joy Of it's Life and lives,
Thrilled with joy that its brief death gives,
Death whose laugh or whose breath forgives
Change that bids it subas5e and rise.

Most students and women who are

they should, therefore, eat before going to

hungry they should simply be instructed
to eat, and If they are hungry they should
eat whatever they want. A glass of milk

should be taken, preferably cold or cool,
which should be given with sponge or
stiff brush, and the body thoroughly
rubbed of with coarse towel afterward
The bath need not be more than five
minutes in duration. Further than this,
the patient should go 70 bed at the same
hour. every night and arise at the same
hour evary morning. There is . popular
superstition that grown people should not
eat Immediately before going TO sleep; that
it will give them indigestion or nightmare,
or both. The writer cannot see why adults
should be SO very different IN this respect
from babies. The average person should
be IN bed seven or eight hours, which is
