WORDS AND PHRASES.

In 1850 part OF the possession of st.

Westminster Abbey, was appropriated to
the repairs of st. Paul's cathedral, whence
the proverb "Robbing Peter to pay Paul. {"
For ages the common slang phrase, or
its equivalent 'in the SOUP has in one

Germans. 'He sits in the soup" is used

still viewed with suspicion, is probably

The Writer mentions some English words
that have recently been added to the die

to Carlyle. Browning leads the poets.
Quite a number of slang words and
phrases, such as "bulldoze, ''cheek, !"

THE steady and increasing agitation
of the road improvement question in
different parts of this country has had
the effect Of producing from the state
department a large volume of consul
lar reports on the streets and high
ways of Europe and the methods Of
constructing them. sH1E6 most salient
impressions made hy these reports on
the American mind Is that even such
comparatively poor countries as Swift
srlano and Ireland have far better
roads than the great and wealthy re-
public of the new world. But when
we find that Canada's road system also
rises superior to our own. and that
even British Columbia which Is not
much older than Kansas. possesses
fine highways we must acknowledge
that in this most important respect
the United States is far behind the
lest of the civilized world instead of
leading it as is our boast in other re-
spec Is.

Il NEVER heard Of SO many murders
and terrible accidents when l was
young" says the aged reader of the
daily papers, and he straightway de-
cides that the people are growing
worse every day. He forgets that in
those remote days the population of
our country was much less than it is
now, and newspaper space was lin
tied, and consequently the publishers
only inserted the news of the immedi-
ate locality in which it was printed,
limiting it by the state. the county or
often by the town.

In the United States. whore every
man has a right to vote no class,
however favored can safely ignore
the condition of any other class. The
worst citizen has. the same power at
the ballot box as the best The most
depraved and useless citizen can kill
the vote OF the greatest thinker in the
land. 1t is the average standard of
citizenship that determines the rate of
progress or retrogression.

No HEALTHY mind In a reasonably
healthy body ever feels old. To feel
old is to DO tired of living. Wise
men. whose years point that way,
afraid OF being caught feeling posi-
lively young, sometimes betray sort
of affectation in their assumption OF
the conventional worn-out, life-weary,
septuagenarian tone; while in their
hearts they say with the old divine
that life is too brief a thing to feel old
in. and time itself but a novelty. a
late and upstart thing in respect OF
the Ancient of Days" They thus pay
tribute to common sense. and
acknowledge a brotherhood with the
herd of men, so di5arming criticism.

More Figures from, New York,

Another public report comes from
New York, ably supplementing the
figures recently given out by Com
missioner Peck. Like those of the
Labor Commissioner, the figures of
State Board of Equalization come
from Democratic sources. but they
show that great prosperity has at
tended the Empire State under the
operation of the Mckinley tariff.
and under a Republican National
Administration.
The Board of Assessors reports
that in 1890 the assessed value of
real estate was So, s.2S4,6s9 and
that in 1891 it was s., 26.645,Sl5.
an lncreace of 1929, 4ll,l36. The
assessment of personal property
amounted to $685., l59, O6s and in
1891 toS4O5, 092 ,6S5, an increace of
the assessment of real and personal
property i'm 1891, as compared with
1890, of Sl52 ,347,753. Charles NJ.
Preston, superintendent of the
Banking Department, disclosed i'm
his semi-annual report that the
workingmen increased their deposits
IN the savings banks $40. 900. OOe in
the first six months of this wear. and
$40, 100000 since President Harri-
SON was inaugerated.
The State Board of Equalization
through which these figures art
made public, is composed wholly of
Democrats, among them being the
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Attorney General, Treaurer, Con
troller, the Speaker of the Assembly
and the Lieutenant-G Governor.
On the whole, the Democratic
officers of New York are managing
to furnish some weighty ammuni-
ton to their Republican opponents.

ance and its coordinate political body,
