The Word -ssuns" Gaining casss.


The word stunt" as meaning q
specific task or performance, is max
ing very rapid progress toward re-
spectability and good standing in
the language. But few years ago
it was seen in print only In the
sporting columns of newspapers,
and then always in quotation marks.
Now it has broken into Harper's
Magazine and even the Atlantic
Monthly, though in the latter case
with an explanation which seems to
read into it a meaning that does not
really belong to it. Already nearly
everybody drops it from the tongue
without even the hint of an apol-
ogy, and it seems in a fair way very
soon to take a permanent and un.
disputed place in all the dictiona'
ries. Those who are fastidious In
the matter of language may lament
and protest, but their lamentations
and protests in similar previous
cases have had little effect The
English language is growing all the
time, and sometimes, like the most
carefully trained rosebush. for ex'
ample, it asserts an lrrepressiblt
tendency to grow little Wild

During the Berlin congress Bis
marck gave a banquet to the repre-
sentatives of the foreign powers
the watchword being, Not q word
of politics." Nevertheless Alexan-
der Rhangabe, the willy Greek diplo'
matist, found an opportunity Of Civ
ing expression to the wish that lay
near his heart and that Of his fel.
low countrymen. The bill Of fare
like the music played during the
banquet, in some sort reflected the
international character of the occa'
sion. There was one item which
was christened with the name Of
Macedonia. When this dish, kind
of vegetable, was handed around
Rhangabe declined.
"Now, your excellency," said Bis
marck, who sat opposite, "why DOM
you take little Macedonia z"
To which his excellency replied
to the general amusement Of the
company: "Only little, your high
ness? / should like to take the
whole"

A frog cannot breathe with his
mouth open. The conformation Of
his breathing apparatus is such that
when his mouth is open his nostrils
will be closed, and, paradoxical as
it may seem, all you have to do to
suffocate frog is to put . stick in
his mouth so he cannot shut his
jaws 1t is strange phenomenon,
probably unparalleled in animal his
tory, but nevertheless any one who
pleases may make the experiment,
though it certainly will be disas-
trous to the frog.

SAILING ON FRIDAY. =


Among the ancient superstitions
of Jack, the sailor man, there is one
that sticks like the odor of pitch to
a spliced hawser. Those who go
down to the sea in ships are still
reluctant to go down on Friday.
Many superstitions have been at
tributed to sailors. Some of them
are myths, but this one about sail
ing on Friday is reality, as the
captains of all seagoing vessels en-
tering New York harbor know.
Why they consider it i'll luck TO
sail on Friday the men before the
mast cannot explain, but they have
stored in their forecastle tales many
lurid narratives of the experiences
of the ships that started on a yoy-
age on Friday. II it is around the
Horn severest gales are sure TO be
met with. and il is two to one that
the rocks of Magellan will send her
to the bottom. II it is to Liverpool
or Lisbon the trades are sure TO
fall or there will be a man over
board before the Bahamas lie
astern.
The Latin seamen are PECULIARLY
susceptible To this superstition,
Spanish and Portuguese sailors es-
naciallv Their fears are shared by
the French and Italians. Germans,
English and Norwegians are in
clined that way little, but Uncle
Sans jolly tars are devoid Of fear
That is why they are the best sail
ors and fighting men in the world.
"Give US a blow" said an Amer
lean shellback in South street, land
we don't give continental whether
it is Friday or Monday"
When the Latins discover theil
captain preparing to weigh anchor
in the stream on Friday they LAT
back in their work in the rigging
or in getting provisions on boart
and usually manage to delay sailing
until the last day of the week.
The large ocean steamship com
panies make no distinction on &C
count Of Friday, and the crews o
the transatlantic liners take littl'
interest in it.-New York CONNER
cial.

An Englishman, walking down .
London street, met another, to
whom he said:
"Sir, but three days ago you slap
ped my face. Yesterday you caned
me in the street and spat in my face.
Only last night you pulled my nose
and thrashed me in q ballroom in
the presence Of ladies. Now, sir, /
wish to say that il this thing contin-

will not answer for the conss-

Most meadow larks migrate to the
south. A few remain in the New

the winter. This bird and our bob

the lowlands. "The bobolink. mood
