Only those who have examined the mat
ter carefully have any idea of the many
figures of speech in use in our ordinary ev-
eryday language. Indeed these figures ars
as intimately woven into the web and wool
Of our language as the figures in Persian
rug. Even the most rigid science has to
depend on figures of speech to make itself
understood.
But as some people use more persona
ornaments than Others, so some indulge
in more figures of speech, and Mr. Robb OF
Williamsburg, n. Y, is one of these
Recently, when thinking of changing his
dwelling, he called on German landlord
who had a number of houses to let.
Mr., Robb was shown the most desirable
Of these. IL was very nice residence, but
it struck the prospective tenant that the
rooms were rather small, and he expressed
his opinion in this way:
"It's nice house, Mr.. Goldberg, but the
rooms are too small. Why, In most OF
them there isn't room to swing cat"
Volts dot you say'" asked the landlord.
~ say couldn't swing "A cat in most OF
these rooms"
"Gott i'm himmell Vot for you want to
swing der gat in dem rooms, ehg"
"Well," laughed Robb, Il might want
TO, you know, and if | should there isn't
room."
II don'd like dings like dot" muttered
Goldberg. II own dem houses den year
unit hat goot denants, bud none oof dem
yos In dot swingin gat piziness."
Promising to see Goldberg again, Mr..
Bobb left, bnt he did not return, for that
evening Mr. Goldberg's son called on him
and said,
"Mein fader, Muster Goldberg, he send
me rount to say he is goin to rent dot house
py family widout CATS"

Whether the pneumatic tire Of bicycle
consists of n single rubber tube or an in
ner ono covered by tubular shoe, it is
liable to be punctured or cut by running
over n sharp stone or similar obstruction,
rendering immediate repair necessary.
The wheelman takes along In his kit,
therefore, suitable bits Of rubber, cement,
the necessary tools for performing this
work on short notice and a hand pump for
reinnating the tire. The New York Trib-
une describes the manner of using them
as follows: If the wheel be provided with
double tubes, the inner one is eXtricated
and then mcndcd, usually by applying IA
thin sheet of india rubber to its exterior.
But with single tube different plan Is
pursued. As much of the new material as
possible Is placed ON the inside. If patch
be resorted to, radial Sits from the central
hole are cut, "a folded disk having stem
in it's center like u lily pad is inserted, then
the disk is opened out fiat, cement is in.
troduced, the stem is pulled outward firm
ly enough to draw the new rubber snugly
against the inner surface of the old, and
any portion of the stem then pTOtrudlng
is cut of Sometimes the piece of rubber
thus introduced is u plug, with "a head
shaped like tiny mushroom This is
handled in much the same way. When
the tube is freshly Inflated, the pressure
tends to tighten the joint between the
patch and the inner surface of the tire,
and If the cement has been applied proper
ly and dries quickly the machine may be
ready for use again in II few minutes.
Experience shows that the rubber used for
such repairs should b. uncu.cl or unyul-
canized, as its surface is then moro read
lily softened and made o adhere more per
fectly to the tire

Shakespeare, who was born in April,
1864, was in his nineteenth year when
he married, writes DR.. William J. Rolfe
in The Ladies Home Journal. OF
Anne's birth or baptism we have no
record, but the inscription on her grave
informs us that she was 81 years old
when she died, Aug. @, 1923. She must
therefore have been at least 80 at the
time of her marriage. Some biographers
have taken the ground that the smart"
young woman of 20 entrapped the boy
of Is into this match, which, from q
worldly point of view, was so impru-
dent, but ! fancy that the boy himself
would have disdained to urge any such
excuse for his conduct.

cssary to throw them into the fire, and on
being taken from the flames few min

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and

Last night a lamp tipped over and it came

This is the sentiment of quite number in
