AS. DEAD AS A DOOR NAIL.
Dickens in Using Term Said to Have
 Misunderstood.


 Charles Dickens. in. one of his Christ mas stories. ponders. on the significance of the phrase "as dead as a door nall" He asks Kravely why door nail should be regarded as so particularly 7lneless; he suggests that 1t would be better to say .'as dead as a coffin nail" A philo' ogist of the DrexeI Institute explained, the. other day, the origin and the appli- cation of 'as dead as a door nail." He said: ...
 .'Dickens didn't know that door nail and a nail in door are different things. A door nail Is a nail with a short shank and very wide head-a head two ineEcs acrdss-Which used to be fixed in tine upper, and middle part of the, wicket of any large outward door. to assist pass iveiy in producing the loud sounds ere ated. as times changed, with heavy rapper. The more active agent of this noise making was heavy ball of iron. suspended from above by thong or string six or eight inches long; and the person using this ball hammered with all his might on the broad-headed nail. The nail was supposed to be dead because, receiving SO many blows on the head from an iron hammer, it was, If not pre- viously defunct, surely defunct now, az ter So much i'll usage.
 "Had Dickens possessed this informa- ton about the door nail he could never have written the. amusing paragIapns concerning it that begin the Christmas Carol '"

No Desire to Catch Her.

James F. Sweeney, of the Suffolk
(Mass.) bar, is noted for the brightness
and aptness OF his recods. Recently in a
case a woman was very refractory I'M
der cross-examination, and, although
the lawyer used all politeness and mild
ness, sharp and unsatisfactory replies
were received. Her meek and humble
husband was present in court.
Mr.. Sweeney tried another innocent
question, when the lady responded with
vindicitive fire flashing from her ewes:
Mr.. Lawyer, you needn't think YOU
can catch me; no, sir; you can't catch
me-" With his most pleasing smile Mr..
Sweeney responded: Madam, hayen,t
the slightest desire to catch you. and
your husband looks to me as If he was
sorry he had succeeded" A ripple of
laughter went round the courtroom, the
judge stroked his mustache to hide 4
smile, and the crier raped for order
