Old Slang Revived.

The greatest excuse-almoSt the only
excuse-fOr slang Is the humor of some
of the best phrases, and just as no
joke is altogether new in these days.
so many slang phrases that we thinb
are Of late manufacture have ancient
prototypes.
One piece of modern slang is the
phrase, ''to feel like thirty cents" Fol-
some unaccOuntable reason, twenty
fivecents" or fifty cents is not funny.
whereas thirty, perhaps from the very
insignificance of its distinction from
twenty-five, is droll, and caught the
public fancy.
In book of stories about Americans
published in Boston in 1890, is this
story, the point of which will be under
stood If IT be borne in mind that the
silver coins In common use III this
country were Spanish. to which Eng
llsh value names were given. In New
England six shillings made dollar.

Frederika, Ia. July 13.-Mr. A. s.
Grover of this place tells an interest
ing story showing how sick people ma y

be guided by the experience of others.
He says:

hour of the night. I could not retain
my urine and my feet and limbs began
to hloat up. My weight was quickly
running down. a
after l had tried many things in
vain, l began to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills, a medicine which had cured
some other very bad cases. -.a
This remedy has done wonders for
me. l have gained eight pounds in

from my feet and legs. and l don't
have to get up at night. took in all

THE DISCIPLINE BROKE DOWN.
An Experiment That Was Not an Un.
qualified Success.

Mahmoud Pasha was progressive
Turk of the new school. He was sent
to st. Petersburg on a special mission,
where owing to his good manners and
childlike ingenuiousness, he soon be-
came popular in diplomatic circles He
caught eagerly ut new ideas, and was
always discussing the possibility Of in
Producing reform into Turkey.
One day the Turk was at luncheon
at the quarters of a Russian officer
named Birnedoff. The conversation
had turned on the splendid discipline
to be found in every branch of the
Russian service. Birnedoff suddenly
rang a bell.
Il am going to show you how me-
thodical my orderly is," said he to
Mahmoud Pasha.
A trim-looking young officer entered
the room, saiuted, and waited. Brine
doff gave him key and told him TO
20 to his office and get certain bunch
Of papers.
The man saluted and left the room.
Birnedoff took out his watch. Keep
ing his eyes fixed on the dial, he said:
HE is going down the stairs; he is in
the street" And then, after a long
pause, HE has reached the war office;
he is going upstairs; he has entered
my room; he has the papers and has
started to come back; he has reached
the street" Another long pause: "He
is down at the door; he is mounting
the stairs; he is here" At this mo-
ment the door opened, and the orderly
reappeared and placed the required
parcel in his superior's hands.
The. Turk returned home and at once
began to institute reforms. A year or
more passed, and the Russian officer
Birnedoff was in his turn sent to Con-
stantinople, and became the guest of
Mahmoud Pasha.
Count Bifpedoff," said the pasha, at
an opportune moment, II want to show
you what 1 have accomplished in the
way of discipline during the past year,
thanks to your teaching. 1 want to
prove to you that the Turk is as ca
pable of methodical training as the
Russian"
AT the sound of n bell liyeried SER
want appeared. The pasha spoke to
him in Turkish. When the man had
left the room the pasha took his
watch In hand, and said:
Now he is going downstairs; .he is
In the street" A long pause: HE
has reached the building where my Of
flee is; he is going, upstairs; he is in
my room; he has the papers; he is
coming back"
At this moment the door opened
suddenly and the heavy Kurd reap
peared. "Effendim." said he. with a
low salaam, II can't find my Shoes"

ct general anu Sec
retary Of the treasury and is a man of
liberal views, whose purpose it is to
develop the trade of the republic and
open up the country to the foreigner.
He will be the 18th President since
1S47, when Liberia declared her in
dependence.
The republic of Liberia, which is ON
the west coast of Africa and has an
area Of $4,000 square miles, with
population of over 100000, was
founded in 1920 by the American Col
onizatiOn Society This society was
formed in 1915 for the purpose of
transporting negroes from the United
States to Africa. Among the found
ers were Charles f. Mercer, of yir-
ginia; Rev. DR.. Finley, of New Jersey,
and Bishop Meade, while Henry Clay
was its president for many years. In
1920 the society sent out company of
SO colonists to Liberia, the United
States Government cooperating with
1t. Afterward 10000 cOlonists were
sent to the country, which, in 1917. be-
came Independent and elected its first
President, Joseph Jenkins Roberts.
The constitution is modelled upon
that of the United States. Every black
Saaie citizen who possesses real estate
has the right of suffrage, but no white
man can be admitted to citizenship.
The inhabitants are made up of vari-
Gus tribes, for Liberia has expanded
chiefly by the purchase Of adjoining
territory, since its establishment
Some of the natives are pagans, some
Mohammedans, while among them va
rious missionary societies are actively
engaged.
The climate of Liberia is deadly to
the white man, who falls victim TO
whnt Is called African fever. Even
negroes, born and reared i'm another
climate, suffer on their first landing
from the dangerous miasma. They
soon become acclimated, however; but
the white man-never. On the other
hand the natives are robust, healthy
and long-lived.

Arabs of the English Capital.
Quintin Hogg. who died recently.
vas the founder of the Polytechnic In
stitute in London. Two years ago
says the London Telegraph, he was
pressed by his boys to tell the story
of his life. When he at last complied
reluctantly with their wishes, the
story came out of his first effort 10
help the London boy.
He got two crOssing-sweepers and
offered to teach them TO read. With
an empty beer bottle for a candlestick
and a tallOw dip for light, two sweep
ers for pupils. and Bibles as reading
books, he really founded the Polytech-
mic Institute in the street.
One night, when they were engaged
in reading. Hogg noticed Il light at the
end of the arch where they were sit
tins-one of the Adelphi arches, which.
before the Thames embankment was
built. opened between the street and
the river.
One of the boys gave the slang cry
for the police and, ''dousing the glim.''
bolted with his companion, leaving
the teacher alone in darkness. The
empty bottle and the candle aroused
the suspicion of the policeman, whose
light it was that, had appeared in
the arch. He flashed his bulrs-eye into
HOgg's face and after a moments scru-
tiny moved on.
Soon after this Hogg tried a novel
rian. He bought bootblack's outfit.
swung the strap over his shoulder,
and for the next six months went out
three nights week, backing boots
and sleeping out with the boys. His
object was to find out how the boys
lived, what they fed on, what it cost
them to live, and how they could best
be reached.
The next winter the ragged school
began in earnest in little room which
cost only sixty dollars year down an
alley off the Strand.
In 1881 the Polytechnic was for sale
and Hogg bought it. The new school
was opened on Sunday, September %,
1882. The first night thousand men,
bers were booked. During the first
winter the number reached nearly
seven thousand. When Hogg wrote
his account, a year or two ago, the
number had increased to eighteen thou

every prominent and wealthy man
whom the sovereign hOnored with

of the bag presented. it was not
good thing for a Persian if the gift fell
short of the rulers expectations. This
custom was abolished little time
back. TO the great satisfaction of the

The change in the mode of collecting

is eliminated, is another step in the

women,s street Flirtatious.

A New York woman who spends
part of each year in Paris says that
the French woman and the American
have very different ideas on the mat
ter of street filtration.
The average French woman upon
finding that she is followed by some
idler will be troubled about it and
take herself to task for having looked
too much or worn too noticeable gar
ments. She considers that the blame
rests upon her, whereas the American
woman or girl adopts the opposite
view.
The American woman who finds her
disturbed, and sometimes even ven
lures to give the offender a lesson.
She will slacken her pace. begin to
survey things in the windows and
otherwise behave SO as to beguile the
person into thinking she is in for a
lark. Then, when, believing himself
encouraged, the masher speaks to the
fair lOiterer. she fixes him with such
a look of scorn and disdainful pro-
priety that he sinks off more or less
Disconnected and the girl goes home
congratulating herself that she has
administered punishment that cut Deep
The American girl, however discreet
she may be at home, takes chances in
Paris merely for the fun of the thing
that the native women who know their
countrymen would never dream of
yenturing. She apparently delights in
exciting admiration and attention in
the shops and in public conveyances,
quite assured that her natural self
possession will bring her through any
uncomfortable incidents that may
arise.
