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

Chicago Tribune.
"Good morning" she said. "You
look quite griggish."
"Griggish?" he interrogated. "What
kind Of look is that? lis it's it
anything alarming?"
ooh, no, silly! Don't you know
what griggish means? / manufactured
it ages ago out of grig, a grasshopper
something blithe and sprightly, you
know. That reminds me, had the
most interesting dream the other
night. l dreamed we kept a word
store"
"a word store9"
eyes, we coined words and sold
them to the inventors of food and of
typewriters, and"
"How were they sold, by the yard
or by the dozen?" he interrupted.
Neither way. We sold each word
according to the amount of brains ex;
pended in inventing it, except the
words pretaining to bicycles - they
came high, because they were so
fashionable. Oh, it was quite a large
store, all divided up into departments.
There was the bicycle department, the
cigar department, the electrical de-
partment, the patent medicine de-
partment - in fact, all lines were
represented in which inventions might
be made needing names. You see, we
sold a name for so much, and then if
the invention proved successful we
shared in the profits"
"Well," said the man, al hope you
showed more taste in the matter than
the person who invented such words
as 'cupograph,' mimeograph, comp
tometer' and 'operaphone'-they give
one literary Indigestion"
ooh, yes" she replied, our coinage
was of a much higher order. OF
course we had words ending in graph
and phone and cycle, but they were
exceedingly cheap, and inventors were
rather ashamed to be seen buying
them. wish l could remember all
the lovely names we coined" she
went on. "The only one can think
of is hamwich,' substitute for ham
sandwich. Don't you think that's
choice? I dreamed that we sold it to
restaurant man and he made o mint
OF money out of it,"

Shell Fish Fear Thunder.

Crawfsh, crabs and Holsters are
peculiarly sensitive to loud noises, and
it is a fact that loud and sudden
clap of thunder will cause them to
amputate or drop their large claws
and "pincers." The impulse which
seizes them when suddenly alarmed is
to throw off their heavy claws, SO that
they may quickly scurry off to place
of safery. Crabs and Holsters can In
ten days or fortnight grow new claws
as large as the old ones. For several

1t is evident that hard times have
contributed to n notable diminution
in the use of all kinds of beverages,
but particularly spirits. Possibly the
bicycle has contributed to decrease
the patronage Of saloons, but, what
ever the cause, the following official
figures show that the consumption of
alcoholic stimulants has not increased,
while the use of the milder beverages
has barely been steady.
