Johnson's First Tailoring Job.

President Andrew Johnson had never
been ashamed of his humble origin;
had, indeed, often narrated the I'M
happy story of his first job at tailoring.
He had been summoned, he would
say, to the residence of an influential
citizen and had been hidden to make
over one of the citizens old coats for
the son of the house.
johnson, little nervous through ex-
cess of zeal, took off his coat, turned
back his sleeves, measured the youth
and set to work. He was getting along
well-the job, indeed, was nearly fin
ished-when dinner time came and he
reached out for his coat in order to
put 1t on and go home.
To his chagrin he discovered then
that it was his own coat which he had
cut up for the boy.

WHY We snr handbook.

'eThe collars worn by the English In
the seventeenth century" said an old
hat dealer, were big, starched things
q good deal like q ruff. Sometimes in
deed they were bigger than the biggest
ruff. They required a box of a good
size to be carried about in.
These collars were called bands.
Ben Jonson in 'VolpOne' says, This
band shows not my neck enough
Steele says, The next that mounted the
stage was an under citizen of the bath,
a person remarkable among the infe-
rior people of that place for his great
wisdom and his broad band
Bands, you see, were collars, and by
the same token bandboxes were collar
boxes. They were big and round, just
big enough to carry a clean, well
starched band-just as big, in fact. as
they are today.
whenever, therefore. you talk of
bandboXes you are unconsciously re-
ferring to the collars as huge as ruffs
that the English of the seventeenth
century wore

QUEER sUPERsTITIoNs.

The following are some curious SUI
perstitions that are still extant among
English speaking people:
If you kill frogs your cows will 'go
dry"
Tickling a baby Wilt cause the child
to stutter.
To thank a person for'combing your
hair will bring bad luck.
To kill ghost it must be shot with
a bullet made of silver coin.
To dream of unbroken eggs signifies
trouble to come; if the eggs are broken
the trouble is past.
If you boast of your good health
strike wood Immediately with your fist
or you will become i'll.
To dream of live snake means
enemies at large. of n dead snake
enemies dead or powerless.
To allow a child to look into mir
ror before 1t is a month old will cause
it to have trouble in teething.
A child will have a nature and dis
position similar to those of the person
who first takes it out of doors.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

DOINGS OF THE DAY IN
THE LOCAL POLICE COURT

NJ. Mize, the travelling salesman
taken in yesterday for drunkenness,
was taxed 50 by Magistrate Johnson
last evening. and his fine RENTED on
his plea that he was short of funds
and that it was necessary fer him to
leave the city in order to attend to
business in other towns. At IL o'clock
last night AIize had accumulated an
other bun, and he was escorted to the
cooler. At noon today Chief MiHer
set him free again on a firm promise
that he would leave the city forth
with.
James Austin, James Moran. George
Hall and Albert Smith. hoboes, were
arrested in the west end of the city
this morning. They were drunk and
disorderly and about the hardest-lOok-
ing bunch that the local police have
had dealings with the present sum
mer. Moran is a cripple, and Smith
would have been one probably if the
police had not interfered in the fight
in which he was engaged with his
companions. Smiths face was COW
cred with blood when he arrived at
the station.

SERVANTS IN ECUADOR.

The Traveller Is Forced to Hire
Many to Serve Him.
If you were living in Ecuador and
wished to hire a servant you could
hardly get one by himself or herself,
but would betcomIelled to take up with
drove of them, probably far Outnum-
bering your own family. For example,
with a cook you would have to receive
her husband and children, and perhaps
also her father and mother, into your
house to bed and board, and each would
bring along all his or her portable prop
erty, consisting mainly of domestic
pets. such as pigs, chickens, rabbits,
dogs and other Give stock" The huS-
band may have some trade which he
follows during the day, but at meal
times and when night comes he returns
to the bosom of his family and yours.
1t would be considered downright IN
humanity to refuse them food and shell
ter, and not a servant in Ecuador
would work for so mean a master or
mistress. The children of your cook
may be utilized for light services, such
as running errands. wedding the gar
den and tending the baby, but the nu-
merous brood is apt to be eight finger
ed" and certain TO be lousy, dirty and
probably diseased. There is no help
for it. however, because eel costumbre''
has decreed that for every servant you
hire you must expect at least a dozen
extra mouths to feed.
Nor. is this the worst of 1t. Occasion
ally the cooks relatives from another
village come to pay her visit of a fort
night or two-lasting as long as you
will tolerate it-men, women and chill
dren, bringing more dogs, pigs, chick
ems, ETC., to be housed and fed. Fortu-
nately. they are not accustomed to
''downy beds of ease" or sumptuous
living, but consider themselves in
clover If plentifully supplied with
beans, corn meal and potato soup, and
will sleep cOntentedly on the stones of
the patio or the straw OF the stable.
The danger is that some of the stranger
hangers on may not be as honest as
the cook herself is supposed to be, and
cases are known where thieves and
even murderers thus gained admission
to the inside of the casa with disas-
trous results.-Philadelph Record.

FASHION IN SPEECH.
Some Words Go Out of Favor and
Win Their Way Back.

Il
| Win Their Way Back.
The history of the race is written III
| the words Il uses. AS we grow and
change, SO our language grows and
changes. Mr.. Leon Mead in his book
! SWORD Coinage" points out that some
words go out of fashion and come
back, like tan shoes and wide trimmed
hats, although the, change in words is
much slower than the change in dress.
In Sponsors day "forestall," ''fain,"
'scathes," "askance, 'embellish' and
"dapper' were not considered good, but
they have since gained responsibility
and won their place In the language.
The seventeenth century regarded as
obsolete a number of Chaucer's words
Transcend" bland" Sphere"
"blithe," franchise" carve IAN.
them" One by one these words came
TO life again and walk the pages'Of our
literature in full vitality. Other'words
now indispensable which the seven
teenth century rejected are ''plumage,"
| tapestry" tissue ledge" ''tren-
chant" resource, "t"villainy," thrill"
"yelp," "dovetail."
Bacon did not have the good word
encyclopedia" but used the heavy
equivalent, "circle leaEning."
Fulke, the sixteenth Acentury author
who wrote "a Defense Aof the Sincere
and True TRANSACTIONS of the Holie
Scriptures Into the English Tong" did
not admit "neophyte," HOMICIDE"
scandal" obstruction" "tunic, "'' des-
picable,'' rational" Another book
published in 1853 puts the stamp of
censure on "oblique," radiant, "'"adop-
tion," "caress," 'amphibious," ''hori-
zontal," "cOncede:'a" articulate," "desti-
nation" compensate" complicated"
and "adventitiouS"
1t is hard to trace the history of
fashion in words. Seldom do wethave
the precise record that Chesterfield fur
nishes us in a letter in which he says
that he was present at the birth of the
word Irritation" on the lips of beau-
tiful woman. Even with that record
we cannot tell why Irritation" remain
ed in the language and was not drop
ped like hundreds of other new coin
ages.

swearing TO Excess.

A cricket club in the south of Scot

the use of lurid language doesn't add
to the amenities of play, has passed
the following bylaw:
ANY member swearing to excess

committee has yet arrived at a def1ni-
