In thriving village of Oxford county
are people who still enjoy relating little
incident illustrative of the confusion
likely to fall upon the stranger to our
language who uses synonyms indiscrimi-
nately. The pastor of the leading church
had made arrangements to exchange
with good German brother of the same
denomination. Having himself been a
witness to some ludicrous mistakes of
that worthy, the minister was not with
out a feeling of uneasiness.
The German having arrived in the vii
lage Saturday was courteously invited
to pleasant gathering near the parson-
age. The elite of the town were pres
ent. All went well with our German
friend until he was introduced to the
beautiful Miss Howard, whose match
less complexion was the pride of the vii
lage. Feeling that such beauty deserved
some recognition, and wishing to COM
pliment the beautiful stranger. the Ger
man exclaimed with his beaming ad-
miration, "Why, fraulein, what beau
tiful hide you havep-Lewiston Journal.

1t is very evident that corpulency is
due to some popularity within the sys-
tenn which favors the increase and stor-
age Of fat, but the actual cause is yet to
be determined. Physicians who have
been corpulent, and therefore have had
the most favorable opportunities for
study and experiment, have all reached
the same conclusions-namely, that cor
pulency indicates degree of i'll health
not of excellent health, as many peo-
pie suppose. They also hold that one
and very potential cause of the abnor-
NAL storage of fat is the lack of func-
tional activity in certain important or
gans of the body, and particularly those
concerned in freeing the system of waste
products In other words, when the
system is choked up with waste less fat
is consumed therein, and it's accumula-
ton is favored. Boston Herald.
