The word quiz" which the dictionaries
variously defne as ITO make fun of, " "a
riddle or puzzle" ito play tricks upon, -
etc, was coined blythe elder Sheridan when
he was lessee Of the old Grow theater, Dub
lin. While at n drinking party with a num-
ber of his friends after the close Of the
thester one Saturday night the subject
turned upon the introduction Of new words
into the language Finally Sheridan offer
ed to wager a dozen bottles of wine that he
could coin a word that would be in every
body's mouth the next day. The bet was
taken, and when the party dispersed Sheri-
dan rang up tie call boys and gave each a
dozen pieces of chalk. He next ordered
each 70 spend the night writing the word
quiz" on every door, doorstep, fence and
shutter they came to, promising to each
boy three shillings if the work was found
to be well executed by morning.
These directions were carried out to the
letter, and rs a matter Of course the new
word was heard ON every side the next day.
There was much speculation as to the
probable meaning Of the four letters so
oddly put together, the more timid of the
population interpreting them as some revo-
lutiOnary sign. The true motive and the
under which the word was
coined finally leaked out, since which time
it has the meaning given in the opening
st. Louis Republic.

Luck What is itf Does such a thing
exist? Is there really any virtue in this
mysterious property in which so many be
lieve, and which belief prompts some to
spend their lives, Micawberlike, waiting for
something TO turn up? Much has been
written and more been said on the fascinat-
ing subject, and many and apparently con-
elusive the arguments adduced by those
who refuse to believe in its existence. Luck,
say these people, does not exist, and the in
citlents cited as examples Of it are but the
result Of the working OF perfectly natural
laws What is popularity known as luck is
simply this-the right thing has happened
at the right moment
Take an example, wall, apparently
strong, is in reality tottering on its founda-
tions. It can stand no longer; some time
on a certain day it must collapse 1t is in

is coming along; he nears the fatal spot.
At that momeEt he drops his umbrella and
stops to pick Y up. The seconds delay is
his salvation. The wall falls, and be is
saved There is nothing marvellous about
it, nothing but the happening Of the right
thing ut the right moment.
As a theory the argument certainly wears
the garb Of plausibility, but when we come
to inquire into particular instances of what
we call luck the contention appears less
conclusive.-London Tit-Bits.

The Ilelrs, predican,cnt.

Heirs to property sometimes experience
considerable difficulty in entering into POS
session of the same, owing to he condition
under which it is left to them. A case in
point about which there has already been a
good deal of litigation in France is fur
nished By the will Of q Partisan restaurant
keeper, who departed this life some years
ago, leaving his fortune, matter of 250
600 francs, to his two uephews. To this be
guest condition was affixed, out of which
has arisen all the trouble The testator
stipulated that instead Of the epitaph
usually to be read on tombstones lis
nephews should attach to that which
marked his final resting place a culinary
recipe, to be renewed daily.
To facilitate this he left 3d5 such recipes,
the object in view, according to his will,
being to be useful to his fellow citizens
after his death. There exists, it should be
said, in France, an ePitaph committee, and
the members Of the same absolutely re
fused to allow the condition indicated in
the dead mans will to be carried ont. The
very unpleasant consequence for the neph-
ews Of the deceased is that, it being ex-
pressly stated they cannot touch the for
tune left unless their late Uncles instruc-
tions be complied with, they are in an
awkward dilcmma.-London Standard.

Tnssle with a etoro rnt.

Miss Josephine Hall recently had an ex-
perience that curiously illustrates tricks of
stage rats
While playing Jennie Buckthone in
Shenandoah" she allowed a pair of slip
pers and a pair Of dress shoes to remain on
the floor Of her dressing room while she
went on the stage. The scene was a very
long one, and she did not return to her
room until the fall of the curtain. When
she got bacl; she was Mortified TO find sew
eral large chunks bitten out Of her black
cloth slippers.
She then began to dress for her next
scene, but could only find cne Of her shoes.
While rummaging about for the missing
one she was startled to find it gradually
disappearing into hole in one corner of
the room. The situation suggested rats.
Being a soldiers daughter, she was not
frightened, as most women would have
been. She grabbed the shoe, and after q
short but vigorous struggle with the TO
dent she managed to secure it with no more
damage than "a severe rent from the ami
mails teeth.
The slippers she now treasures as curios
of a Lairbreadth escape as well as a means
Of comfort vixen net on the stage.-New

Two hundred newsboys Of all races, col

sound such as is made when a housewife
chops up celery in wooden dish. It arose
from 200 pairs Of jaws working with vigor

The american and French Cabinet Systems.

Inc american and French Cabinet SYSTEMS.
In France the president names his minis
ters, but they must have the confidence of
the chamber-that is to say, they are not
his ministers, but ministers of n auctuat-
ing majority OF the deputies. This fact
has made the president as a matter of fact
removable during his term of office, as was
proved when NJ. Grevy, unable to get a
cabinet together which had the confidence
Of the chamber or to obtain the consent Of
the senate to its dissolution, was forced to
resign, as if lie had been an outvoted prime
minister. In practice the cabinet system,
the system Of ministerial responsibility to
an elected chamber, seems to require. in or
der to give it stability, permanent and
even hereditary head Of the state who can
not be affected by parliamentary fuctua-
tious.
The presidential system as exhibited in
the United States app,aIs to owe its sta
bility aad working efficiency to the fact
that the president is the master and not
the servant Cf the cabinet. and that neither
