THEY COINED WORDS.
A Young Lady's Interesting Dream of In
vention and Wealth.

GOOD morning." she said. You
look quite griggish."
"Griggish?' he Intercepted "What
kind of look is that? lis it's it
anything alarming"
"Oh, no, silly! Don't you know what
griggish means? l manufactured it ages
ago out of grig, grasshopper-some-
thing blithe and sprightly, you know.
That reminds me, had the most inter-
esting dream the other night. Idreamed
we kept word store"
"a word store?''
Eyes, we coined words and sold
them to the inventors OF foods and of
typewriters, and"-
How were they sold, by the yard or
by the dozen?' he interrupted.
Neither way. We sold each word ac-
cording to the amount of brains expend-
ed in inventing it, except the words
pertaining TO bicycles-they came high,
because they were so fashionable. Oh,
it was quite large store, all divided
up into departments There was the
bicycle department.. the cigar depart
ment, the electrical department, the
patent medicine Departmental fact,
all lines were represented in which in
ventions might be made needing names.
You see, we sold name for so much,
and then if the invention proved sue
cessful we shared in the profits.
WELL" said the man, 81 hope you
showed more taste 81 the matter than
the person who invented such words as
'cupograph, 'mimeograph, 'comptome-
ter and 'operaphone'-they give one
literary indigestion.
"Oh, yes" she replied, ''our coinage
was of a much higher order. Of course
we had words ending in graph and
phone and cycle. hut they were exceed
ingly cheap, and inventors were rather
ashamed to be seen buying them. Words
like 'pegamoid' came high. wish /
could remember all the lovely names
we coined" she went on. 1.-THE only
one can think of is 'hamwioh, sub
stitute for ham sandwich. Don't you
think that's choice? dreamed that W.

DAVIS SHOES.
A Few Statistics Concerning Them,
Contributed by Davy's Father.

contributed by DaVy's rather.
II take no note of time" said Mr..
Toggleton, according to the New Yorb
Sun. Il can count the months with
perfect certainty by the calls for shoes
for Davy. All / want to know is the
date of the purchase of one pair. Say,
for illustration, that we buy shoes on
May IS; then when the next call Is
made, for shoes know, without look
ing at the date line in the paper, or at
the calendar in the office, that it is the
18th of June; for Davy wears out just
orc pair of shoes month.
''He goes through the first soles In
tvIoweeks, and the second in two weeks
lore. Occasionally we have his shoes
resoled twice, but not often. Usually,
when we come to look them over, after
the second sole has been worn through
we find them in that state of ruin that
is commonly described in the phrase
beyond repair
There is, however, one cheering
feature of this situation, and that isthe
unparalleled cheapness of shoes, which
never begun to be so cheap as now. But
for this suspicious fact, at the rate that
Davy wears out shoes, should have TO
move TO some warm cline, where small
boys run unshod."

HE KNEW WHO WORE SOCKS.
Clever Trick Played on a German
General by q Subaltern Ofncer.

Clever Trick Played on q German
General by n subaltern Omcer.
Under orders existing some time ago,
men in the German army wore at will
either socks or fuszlappen "a species Of
bandage) on their feet. During an in
spection, relates the San Francisco
Argonaut q certain general asked a
subaltern officer what his men wore on
their feet. He replied that some wore
socks and some lappen-about 20 per
cent. socks. The general further asked
him if he knew what each individual
wore. He was answered promptly in
the affirmative. what" said the gen.
eral. pointing to man in the ranks,
"does this man wear?" Socks" was
the response; and, on the man taking
off a boot on the generals order, a
sock was found to incase the foot. The
same test applied in several cases pro-
duce6 the same result. The general
was highly impressed with the init
mate knowledge of detail displayed by
the subaltern, but the Lad disclosed
subsequently to his brother officers the
simple device which procured him such
kudos. His men, by his order, had all
a sock on one foot and fuszlappen on
the other. They were instructed to
note carefully the answer given by their
officer, and to remove the boot which
would disclose verifcation of his as
sertion.

WARFARE OF CLASSES.
Modern Football Mere Play to Yale's Old
Freshman-sophomore Struggle.

Freshmsn-sophOmore Struggle.
The organization and development Of
intercollegiate athletics now absorb
much of the energy that used to be
given to the furious internecine warfare
of classes. From time immemorial there
were mighty games of football on the
New Haven green, in which whole
classes engaged. The freshmen posted
their formal challenge on the bulletin
of lyoeum, and the supercilious accept
-ance of the sophomores named the day
for the struggle. Come" cried the
class of 80,
And like sacrifices in their trim
To the fire eyed maid Of smoky war,
All hot and bleeding will we offer you.
And the Tyrteus of '58 cheered his
mates with the noble lines:
Let them come op, the baseborn crewl
Each soil stained churl-alacki
What gain they but a splitter skull,
A sod for their base backl

Of the statehouse. Swift runners huns

it amid full gazing applause to the goal
But it was in the middle press whert

''CARLL SRAD"
Taken at Home.

Prof. Ilawazek has proven by
clinical experiments, that the
Waters of Carlsbad act in the
same manner when taken at home
as if taken at the spring, and their
remedial action is not impaired
by export. The temperature can
be given them at will. Even
when taken cold the effect is the
same, only depending on the pa
TENTS disposition or idiosyncrasy.
The results obtained by Prof.
Hlawazek, and published in his
extensive works on Carlsbad,
proved beyond doubt, that the
Carlsbad Mineral Water as ex-
ported in bottles, will act pre-
cisely the same as when taken at
the spring.
Beware of limitations. The gen.
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York." on
every label.
