"Have you noticed asked the OBJ
servant citizen, that people nowadays
don't pronounce numbers as they did
when you and Went to school, or even
few years ago? We used to say one
hundred for instance. but we don't
any more. We say 'one-0-O.' II we
want to tell somebody we live at 1850
Blank street, we tell him our number
is 'one-O-5-O.' If the number is 1913,
we tell him it is 1-2-3,' and so on.
The reason for the change IS plain
enough-it's the telephone. One needs
to speak plainly in teIephoning, and
as figures in any communication are
usually important We have learned to
pronounce each one separately, so as to
avoid any mistake. Everybody uses
telephones now and so everybody has
caught the habit Of pronOuncing each

fact that there was not the usual rush
of applicants to fill it, reminded Secre-
tary Hay Of story, There was post
in South America, he said. in the tropi-

so unhealthful that it is 10 small un-

there. AT last a man was found who
seemed to thrive on the climate and
on the malaria; after number Of
years service, however, his less for
tunate wife succumbed to the condi-

he had married again, and had about
made up his mind that he would like
to go back with his new wife to the

DERIVATION OF "LoAFER."
Cecil Rhodes May Have Understood 1t in
the Sense of Josi, Billings.

shc SeISc Va Cosh bllhhSes
The question as to the derivation of
that word "loafer" which Mr.. Rhodess S
will is likely to elevate from the slang
dictionary is already getting acute.
The word is Spanish. and. like galoot
and others, came from Mexico through
Texas to the States. 1t is the Angli-
cized or AmericaniZed form of gallo
fero. IAN idle. lazy vagabond." passing,
as any student of Bartlett knows
through glofero and glofer to lofer,
and Guiding up with the pretence of
having something English or Ameri-
can about it. as ''loafer,' a man who
has no casual connection with the loaf
he does not earn.
OF the loafer Josh Billings has given
in his ".AlminaX" Il description which
would have gone to Cecil Rhodes s
heart. as of the type Of man who was
not TO inherit Dalham or any other
pronerty that was his. if he could help
it: The loafer is Il thing who is will
ing TO be despised for the privilege
OF abusing others. He occupies all
grades in society. from the Judge on
! the bench clear down to the ragged
creature who leans against lamp posts
and fights flies in August. He has no
pride that is worthy and no delicacy
| that anybody could hurt. During his
| boyhood he kills cats and robs hens
! nests. During middle life he begs all
! the tobacco he uses. and drinks all the
cheap whisky he can at somebody
| else's expense, and does die at last
The loafer in America would seem to
| be more pronounced than his British
brother. if we take Henry w. Shaw

An English writer declares that
financial morality, imperfect as it is
in our day, is superior to that of the
epoch that came to an end in 1896 with
the abolition of lotteries. Take a single
instance. Lord North in 1919, while
the American war of independence was
in progress, issued 10000 lottery tick

Food From Trees,

Chestnut grove. with its full grown
trees. produce six times as much food
per acre as any cereals. and Humboldt
estimates that a banana orchard will
feed twenty-five human beings. where
potato field of the same size would
support two and a wheat farm only
one. A time may come when the
staples Of human food will be chiefly
derived from trees. thus increasing the
lifesustaining capacities of our planet
more than tive-fold. not to mention the
saving in drudgery, nor the beneficial
climatic influences of tree plantations.
No plowing, hoeing and moving, no
worrying about winter food for hungry
cattle, no deserts overspreading vast
areas of tree-deprived territory.-Na-

Washington is trying to get speci-
men of the gray bear of Mount ST.
Elias, Alaska, which was only discov-
cred to the world a short time ago,
says Popular Science News. This bear
inhabits the glaciers and snow covered
mountain slopes, and natural selection
has made its color of such Il blue gray
hue that at any distance it is invisible
against the ice. A ''spectacled' bear,
brown over its body and with white
rings around its eyes, has also recently
been found for the first time on the
high slopes of the Andes, in Bolivia.

A hunter of the North Carolina noun
tains has tame mink which lie caught
ferret and finds it an excellent rabbit
catcher. One day he tried it on trout.
He let it go hungry all morning, and
then took it to trout stream, tying a
string to it's leg, and allowing it to
wander out upon log, stood still for
awhile, and suddenly made a grab into
the water with his paw. 1t brought
up a small trout. Wood took the fish
away. and the performance was re.
peated. Now the mink is famous
throughout the mountains as q trout
