queer 1r.SeS.

Every nation has its own familiar
phrases, which sound very queer to
foreigner. We have great many that
seem very natural to US, because we have
known them since childhood, and other
countries similarly have expressions that
we would think funny, but which are
not in the least to them. The French,
for instance, say, "One OF these four
mornings" when we would say, "One
of these days" Where we say, Gone
can't do thousand things at once," the
French say, lone can't accomplish
thirty-six things in breath" In China
a clustering coward is said to be as
