A fish dealer In one of the most styl-
ish parts Of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried one day by the COM
plant of one of his big customers that
q fine salmon which he had sent to the
house for big dinner had proved to
be entirely uneatable when served ow-
ing to most penetrating taste Of creo-
sote that pervaded 1t. The fish dealer
realized, although the charge was not
made directly, that he was more than
suspected Of having sold stale fish
that had been washed or brushed with
an antiseptic preparation to hide its
condition. He knew that the salmon
had been perfectly fresh when he sold
1t. and for days he puzzled in vain over
the problem. But suddenly he remem-
bered that on the day the fish was sent
out a tank wagon full of creosote had
stopped before his place and that his
cart, into which the fish was being
placed, was directly alongside of the
powerful stuff. That appears to have
been enough to permeate the delicate
tlesh of the fish.-New York Press.

AN OvERWORKED PHRASE.
The Expression "He Took His Life In
His Hands,"

The Expression "He Took His Life In
His Hands,"
"The expression he took his life in
his hands always struck me as being
very foolish" said bright young gen
tleman, "and I have often wondered
why SO many persons persist in using
1t when they want to speak Of extraor-
dinary dangers. Now, extraordinary
danger is one thing and the simple.
commonplace thing Of taking ones own
life In ones hands Is an entirely differ
ent thing.
II work in a big building. There are

engine in the basement, take my life

hands. go out Of town; the car

street, may not brick or loosened

There are row and shot or two on
the corner; may not stray bullet wing
me? And SO on.
"Pessimism? No. Logic. That's all.
1t just shows the difference between
taking ones own life in ones hand
and the matter Of confronting extraor-
dlnary danger. These risks are ordi-
nary, plain, old, everyday risks. The
fireman who dashes into a burning
building to rescue child, the fellow
who grabs the bride of runaway
horse, the hero who will plunge into
the river to save some person who iS
about to drown-these are the persons
who confront what would call ex-
traordinary dangers, and the worn
platitude Of saying Of one Of these he
took his life in his hands would not
fit the case because there would be in
the act an element of heroism which
would place 1t much above the COM
monplace." Orleans Times-Dem.
