Off, contemptuously sneered a scrubby
little newsboy on Fulton street. Brook

whom he was endeavoring to straighteu
out some difference Of opinion. And
"Your trolley's off" is getting to be pret-

been indicated by You're off your base.
If Macauley or Charles Lamb offers any.
thing more terse or pithy. that would
express to every one Just what every ono

would be worth quoting.
Slang is perhaps richer in the history
that touches the life and common expert

most other words. Future generations
may know the exact date when The

could discover just when Your trolley

Several American journals published

We don't wish TO say anything disa-

make himself u little more familiar with
the terms used in political language
When he said thnt the people feared "a
coup d'etat ON the part of the royalists
against the republic" he evidently meant
a coup de main, because coup detat
can only be made by an established gov

which the chief Of state has recourse
when he wishes. for example. to get rid
OF troublesome legislature. as in the case

News comes from Pennsylvania that
the English sparrow IS retiring before
the advance Of our native song birds
At a meeting IN Pittsburg Of the state
Ornithologcal association Dr. Thomas
L. Hazard read an interesting report on
the bird population of the Allegheny
parks In 1919 tho park commissioners
imported seventy-hve sparrow6 from
Philadelphia. and took such good care
OF them that all but three died. The
three survivors managed 20 escape from
the shelter provided for them. and re-
turn to their natural habits filed them
with health and ugor They began to
raise families. and in few years there
were hordes Of sparrows. while nearly
all other birds were driven ont Of the
parks by their pugnacious ehemies.
Lately, however. the sparrowa seem 10
be less aggressive than they formerly
were. Last spring DR.. Hazard counted
In the parks nine robins. four orioles
several bluebirds and other song birds
There had been seen in the parks also
during the summer a red headed wood
pecker. downy woodpecker. flicker
yellow warblers aud several other repre-
sentative birds OF sweet song and bright
plumuge. Another encour ying fact was
that Or. Hazard counted during fall in
the parks five robins nests in good re-
pair and three of last years slightly
damaged. four orioles nests in good re-
pair and four not so good. rs we'll as
eleven other nests built by desirable
birds Of one sort OF another. This made
a total OF twenty-seven nests. whereas

but two such birds nests. Rochester

Is Cleveland TO Return Hnrrison's Favor7
The promotion Of Judge J. N. Scott,
brother-in-law TO President Harrison, to
the newly created Office Of superintend-
ent Of construction Of public buildings
on the Pacific coast has given rise to the
rumor that the president will request his
successor that Judge scott be retained
in Office by the incoming administration.
Mr.. Cleveland made a similar request
four years ago Of Mr. Harrison. The
former had appointed Benjamin Folsom,
Mrs. Cleveland's brother, to the lucra-
tive Office Of United States consul at
Sheffield. England. The salary is $4,000
per annum and Perquisites aggregating
another 81 900.
When Cleveland retired from Office he
requested Of his successor to retain
Folsom in Office, and President Harrison
evidently considered this proposition in
a favorable manner. for the reason that
Folsom is about the only Democrat who
is holding n consular Office Of any inn
portance abroad. Another relation Of
Mr. Cleveland's, a nephew, has held the
Office Of special deputy United States
marshal in one of the northwestern
states during the last four years.
The salary of the new Office held by
Judge Scott is nine dollars per day and
travelling expenses, all of which is about
equivalent to Folsom's remuneration.
The duties of the Office require constant
travelling between cities where public
buildings are being constructed. Tsle
officer examines the progress Of thework
