SAYINGS OLD AND FAMILIAR.

To "haul over the Goals" recalls the
former legal custom of trial by fire,
the accused walking barefoot over n
bed of glowing Goals, and his innocence
or guilt being deduced from the condi-
tion of his feet after certain number
of days elapsed. lAsTaas,sFrsa, zu.. .. IA -
"Post haste" recalls the days when
everybody who was in a hurry and
could afford the expense travelled post;
that is, with relays of horses at the end
of every five or tenomiles of the journey,
the fresh animals thus enabling greater
speed to be made.
To "kiss the Blarney stone" is an al
lusion to the famous stone in the castle
of Blarney. The lord of this fortress
being required to deliver it up to the
English, made so many ingenious eX-
cuses for delay that he was finally per-
mitted to retain his castle for his clever
ness. !ssjl.;sl sjl - rs rs r Yss4'-,,,
.As right as trivet" is piece OF
household slang. The trivet was a rod
placed across the fireplace for the pur-
pose of suspending from it a pot over
the fire. 1t was necessary that the
trivet should be exactly horizontal, OF
disaster to the pot and its contents
would result. c..,.-4-~i77y. ssH.--r..,.

TO ADORN FAIR WOMEN.

Tailor-made costumes ara now
trimmed with broad and square-woven
braid, which, in either black or white,
looks very we'll on the gowns made of
the new silver-gray.
The fashionable wedding gift for the
groom to make the bridesmaids is u
pendant watch in enamel to match the
toilets. Bouquets are replaced by
baskets of spring blossoms or uncon-
ventional posies of old-fashioned flow
ers hanging loose.
Louis Seize coats are to be in evil
dence this summer. One belle has made
her appearance in one of chocolate
brown cloth with facings of fine white
cloth, trimmed with onyx buttons. A
rich brocade waistooat of antique pat
tern gives smart finish.
The well-dressed woman attaches as
much Importance to small belongings
as to gowns. Umbrellas this season are
not so fantastical as they have been and
are as a result handsQmer. They are
mounted in tula or silver, sometimes
oXidized. Plain cheery-wood sticks are
also esteemed.

HUMAN ODDITIES.

l had a slight acquaintance some
years ago with man who possessed the
extraordinary faculty of being able to
turn up his eyelids with a backward toss
of the head.
know man who never learned to
write or read, and yet if you give him
directed envelope and tell him to write
another like it he is able to do so and
initiate the style of writing to nicely,
although he would not be able to read it
when finished
While on my way from Sydney in the
fall of last year business compelled me
to. call at Singapore for a short time
where / met a Singalese who could,
by applying rosin to both his fore
fingers, produce music similar to a
violin, and, indeed, almost as distinct,
GOD Save the Queen" being his IA
vorite tune. He also changed the tone
so as to resemble the mandolin.
Although I never heard man "whis-
tie duet" I knew one at Cambridge
who could do something like it. He
could whistle an air and hum the accom-
paniment in perfect tune. The piece
especially remember was "Adeste FL
deles," where the accompaniment in the
fifth line (in contrary motion) and the
initiative phrases at the end were fault.

GOING BACK,
Free Silverites Resort to Out-of-Date
Methods.

Free Silverites Resort to out-of-Date
Methods.
The silverites who want the American
people to give up the stable money
standard under which they have pros
pered, in order to go back to the silver
dollars of their ancestors, nre the kind
of men who are afraid of everything
that is new. They are like the boy who
went to the mill with big bag across
his horses back. In one end of the bag
was two bushels of corn and in the
other end a big stone. When the miller
asked the boy why he did not divide the
corn and put half of it on each side of
the horse the bright youth replied:
"Father and grandfather allus took
their corn to mill this-a-way. I ain'tno
better than them. What was good
enough for grandfather is good enough
for me-"
The idea that because the men who
lived in this country 100 years ago
adopted free coinage law we should
be satisfied with the same system, is not
suited to progressive, go-ahead Ameri-
cans. The latter want the very best Ct
everything and just as soon as better
way of doing things is discovered the
old way is dropped and the new taken
up. The question as to what was the
best money system 100 years ago has
nothing on earth to DO with the practi-
cal affairs of to-day. To talk of going
back to free silver merely because it was
an old system is on a level with trying
to establish a monarchy in this country
because we were once ruled by the Brit
ish kings. When the people got tired of
kings they kicked them out and estab-
lished the republic. When they got tired
of trying TO use the double standard
they made gold the unit of value, and
they intend to keep it. Out of date sys-
TENS don't count for much with live
Americans

HE sNeszeo A BULLET.
Peculiar Experience of . Man Who Wa
 Wounded In the Civil War.


 Colonel Sidney Cooke of Harrington, Kan, one of the managers of the Ma tional Soldiers home, tells of a peculiar experience in the army during the civil war. At the outbreak of the war he was a strapping New England boy, with strength and vitality which stood him we'll during his army life
 After taking part in several engage ments Colonel Cooke was shot in the head and left on the battlefield as dead The Federals retreated from the field and the Confederates soon occupied it Colonel Cooke, who was then a private, was aroused to consciousness by some one tugging at his boots The boots were very fine and the pride of his boy ish heart, having been given to him by the dear ones at home
 "Ain't you dead, Yank?" asked the Confederate as he ceased tugging to re- move the boots from the feet of the wounded boy.
 On being assured that Cooke was not dead compromise was effected The Confederate brought the Union soldier some water and carried him to Con- federate surgeon In return he secured the coveted boots
 Cooke had long convalescence and finally recovered sufficiently to be sent to AndersonvilIe prison, where he suffer ed, in addition to the privations ot prison life, great pain from his wound This suffering continued even after his release and his discharge from the army at the close of the war.
 One day, long after the war was over, Colonel Cooke, who had settled in Kan sas, was seized with violent spell ot sneezing Just in the midst of it the bullet was expelled from his nose, Chi. cago Record.
