Sleeve and sIeave.

Two verbal questions are brought to the
Listener. One is, "Why does everybody
persist in quoting phrase of Shakspere
thus: Sleep, that knits up the ravelled
sleeve of careP whereas everybody should
know that the word is 'sleave, meaning a
tangled web of yarn, and not 'sleeve?' ="
The answer to this is no doubt the same as
Asa Gray's to the question of a woman bot
anist who wanted to know the reason for
a wrong classification in his manual: zig
norance, ma'am-pure ignorance" The
right word, "sleave," is, with its meaning,
quite forgotten; but people know Sleeve"
and insist upon using it, though even in
Shakspere's times sleeves were not knitted
up. The Shaksperean phrase is wonder
fully expressive, and seems to be an antici-
patton OF the physical doctrine of uncon-
scious celebration in sleep.-BOstOn Tran
script "Listener."

According to Professor Liversdge of
Sydney university, N. S. W., the sea-water
off the Australian coast is charged with
gold at the rate of half grain to the ton.
If that proportion holds good throughout
all the seas, the amount of the yellow metal
thus held in solution must be at least 100,
900, 900, 900 tons of gold, the value of which
makes all the dreams of avarlce seem poor
indeed.
A horseless sleigh has been invented and
1t is announced that it will be used by

gasoline motor situated under the rear seat.

A Great Risk.

Two impecunious Scotsmen came upon
a saloon. They had only "saxpence" be-
tween them, so they ordered one "nip O.
whisky" They were hestating who should
have the first drink, when an acquaintance
joined them. Pretending they had just
drank, one Of them handed the newcomer
the whisky requesting him to join them in
a drink. He drank, and, after few min.
utes of painful and silent suspense, said
Now, boys, you'll have one with me?'
"Wasna that weel managed, mon?" SAID
one to his pal afterward.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY is printed on Tuesday and
Friday, and gives vice as much matter as The
Weekly.
The craving for color on the part OF the young,
and even OF other members of a family. has now
been recognized by THE SEMIWEEKLY rRIB-
UNE in the publication Of a colored supplement
OF l6 pages, with each Fridays paper. IL not
gratlhed in proper way, the liking for pictures
and Innocent bright reading matter will incline
many To seek in less desirable publications that
which they cannot fiud in their favorite paper
The jokes and quaint paragraphs and the 50 or
more political cartoons humorous sketches and
half tones, and other amusing contents OF the
colored supplement will prove a welcome addition
10 the wiser and weightier parts of the paper Ii
is printed on superfine paper, and its IS pages are
themselves fully worth the price of the SEMI
WEEKLY. Sold separately, a pictorial week
~, ''Twlnkles" readily brings five cents a CODY
and in the course OF year the reader would re-
ceive more than he has paid for THE TRIBUNE
itself. The pquant comicalites of the supple
ment will lend new value to bound volumes and
make each copy valuable long after the date of
publication.
This edition is not offered in combination with
local weeklies The colored supplement will be
sent only to subscribers who forward the regular
price of the SEMIWEEKLY, 81 90 year, TO the
