An Awful Experience,

A native diver descended into the
water to see whether one of the piers,
then in course of construction. had set.
While he was engaged in this work a
great iron cylinder subsidized little,
crushing his hand between it and the
masonry. When. on signal being CIV
en-, another diver came down. he found
his unfortunate comrade imprisoned
under water without hope of escape.
After a few moments of mute despair
and narrowing uncertainty a speech
less decision was arrived at, and the
newcomer proceeded with chisel and
hammer to hack off his unhappy COM
panion's hand at the wrist. The pris-
oner was thus liberated, but died soon
after reaching the surface from the
shock. Never, think. has an opium
eater in his dreams imagined more
pitiful spectacle of hopeless human
suffering In India"

The Flx,s Noon Hour,

An Illinois congressman said that
during a hot summer day he sought
rest in a hammock beneath the scant
shade of an old tree that stood at the
corner of down state hotel.
II had no sooner stretched myself in
the hammock" said he, than these
flies attacked me. seemingly by the
million, 1t was intolerable, and in no
pleasant frame of mind looked up the
proprietor.
"'What do you mean l demanded,
by stretching your hammock in that
fly haunted field of torture you call a
lawn?
81 know the flies are bad out there
now he answered, but you ought to
use the hammock during the hammock
hours, and you'd have no trouble from
the fies.'
"'What are hammock hours?' in
quired.
From IL noon to D. m. daily he
replied. During those hours flies will
not attack you in the hammock
81 was much interested in the mans
Socratic skill in evading the issue, and.
wishing to draw him out, asked:
"Why are there no flies around the
hammock between u and 2?
cob he rejoined, at that time
they're all in the dining room Chi
cago Inter Ocean.

The Kangaroo,s KICK.

When big ''old man" kangaroo stiff
ems his tail and converts it into sort
of revolving pivot bearing the whole
weight of his body, leaving his tremen-
dously powerful legs free for attack
and defense, everybody who does not
want to be ripped up or thrown in a
heap for considerable distance will
give the marsupial wide berth. Only
those who have seen the full grown
kangaroo in his native Australian bush
with his back to tree, scattering dogs,
bleeding and torn, right and left, can
form any adequate idea of the prodi-
gious strength the animal is capable of
eNerting when he finds himself in a
tight corner. Kangaroos are now get
ting scarce in the southern parts of
Australia, but they are still pretty nu-
merous in the thinly populated north.

Possible origin of a Phrase.

There is an amusing story by Athe-
nmus which suggests the possible orr
gin of the phrase, HE does not know
enough to come in out of the wet"
According to the entertaining gram
marian referred to, town in Greece
under stress OF evil circumstances bor-
rowed money from a rich man, who
took as security for the loan a mort
gage on the handsome portico which
surrounded the market place. He was
not an ungenerous creditor, for when
it rained he caused the town criers to
announce that the citizens had permits
sion to take refuge under the colon
made. Strangers visiting the town who
failed to have the matter properly eA-
planned to them We're so impressed by
the extraordinary circumstances that
they spread abroad the report that the
people We're SO stupid that they had to
be told when to come in out of the wet.

The Word "Axernge.,

After a fair translation of its old
French body, "aver," into English only
"horse' is found, and the word be-
comes 'horsage." The change tends to
confusion, but none the less 'shorsage"
and average" are identical since in
the old time French an aver" was a
horse. 1t was also horse in the Scotch
dictionaries, and in one of Burns po-
ems, "a Dream" he alludes to a horse
as mobile aver"
In olden times in Europe tenant
was bound to do certain work for the
lord of the manor-largely in carting
