NOTES..

1t is an expression of vulgarity to
smoke while walking or riding with a
lady. A man should show more respect
than this even to his wife.
For conspicuous daring in the Chitral
campaign Great Britain has presented
certain of the Indian soldiers with -

The Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing tnat three-fourths of
all our sufferinps arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat and di-
gest food, without subsequently suffering
pain and distress, and that many are
starving, wasting to mere skeletons, be-
cause their food does them no good, they
have devoted much study and thought
to the subject, and the result is this dis
covery, of their Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggists that will point out the
way of relief at once. An investigation
will cost nothing and will result in much
good.

Lincoln as aLover.

Abraham Lincoln's sentimental per-
plexities are to be shown in an article of
singular interest which John Gilner
Speed has written from unpublished let
tiers of Lincoln to Joshua Speed, for the
next issue of The Ladies' Home Journal.
The article will show that the great Pres
ident was not steady in his affairs of the
heart, that he floundered in his love, and
finally induced his friend Speed to marry
and tell him (Lincoln), whether marriage
was failure or not. aaRs. lzllz ~ "a lEs ilss

was drenChed with water, to the rum of
thousands of dollars worth of regalia

even more than that.

Poor patient Ned had been kept in

stanza that had been easily mastered by
all the rest Of his class. Finally he broke

Gray; l just can't do it. Father says it's

The Wrong End of the Stick.

This expression means, as Professor
Skeat rightly remarks, to be in an unpleas-
ant position, but not quite as he puts it.
There is handle to every stick, and there
is also the point, that goes into mud, or
"muck, " as they say in the north. A man
who gets hold of the wrong end of the
stick, therefore, catches hold of the dirty
part, and his hands are soiled for his pains.

Monk and Monastery.

The words monk and monastery are de-
rived from the Greek word monOs, mean
ing "alone" A monk, in the proper sense
of the word, is one who dwells entirely
alone, and monasteries, properly speaking,
are establishments in which each individ-
ual has cell or dwelling to himself and
has little or no communication with the
Others of the same society.
