James Foley's head was so mutt
lated when he emerged from a fight
in saloon on the water front that he
was sent to the Harbor Hospital for
treatment and there his wounds were
considered sufficiently serious to war;

was put to bed and several hours later
he was nabbed in the act Of stealing
gold watch and chain and two SIS

under his pillow for safe keeping as
he slept. Judge Fritz committed the
ungrateful Mr.. Foley to the Superior

THE WORD LIVERY.
1t Originally Meant Something De-
livered or Freely Given.


livered or Freely Given.
Our word livery is derived, through
the French, from the Latin lberare, to
deliver. Hence q livery originally
meant something delivered or freely
given, and came to be applied to an
allowance Of food or clothes.
From Norman times an English no.
bleman allotted fixed "livery" Of
bread, wine and candles to his servants
for their private use. A remnant Of
this system still survives at Oxford
and Cambridge, where the fellows of a
college are entitled to daily allow
ance of food called commons"
An allowance of provender for q
horse was also called livery, and
horse fed and groomed for its owner
at fixed charge was said to be Eat
livery"
In the middle ages ''livery" was worn
by any one who was in any sense in
the service of another Of superior rank
or station.
The trading companies Of the city of
London used to provide special attire
for their freemen, who became known
as liverymen, q title which they still
retain.

FEMININE LANGUAGE.

Words by Women.

An English Criticism of the Use Of
Words by Women.
You may talk to woman for an hour
or more and understand every word
she says. Meat, bread, money, motor
cars, drains, the ace of trumps-there
Is really no space at my disposal to
give list Of the words that are COM
mon to both languages. In fact, most
Of the solid, concrete things of life
may be left out Of the question. 1t is
when we pass beyond the concrete that
the real misunderstanding arises. Take
q couple of very common words used
equally by both sexes. A man will say
that So-and-so is mice" girl. should
know what he meant. A woman will
reply that the girl is pretty, agreeable
and all that sort of thing, but that she
is mot quite NICE" The two are using
the same word to express different
ideas, and they will never agree as to
whether that girl is nice or otherwise
until they can talk the same language.
Again in the feminine dictionary the
opposite of mice Is "horrid" A man
will talk Of mice scoundrel" and
"horrid BORE" and 1 can understand
him. But when woman tells me that
a man is wealthy and clever and good
looking-"but I'm sure he's horrid"-
she has dropped into her foreign Ian
guage. can only be sure that she
does not mean what l mean when
speak Of "horrid girl."-London Out

The Web Spinning Ant.

One Of the most interesting observa-
lions made in ant life, says Andrew
Wilson, the scientist, was that which
showed that a certain red ant has
evolved the habit of web spinning. The
ways Of this species were noted in the
botanic gardens at Peradeniya, Ceylon,
by E. G. Green. The extraordinary
part Of the story is that these ants
used larvae as their spinning machines,
the larvae employing their silk threads,
used to make the cocoons, as their sew
ing machines. Mr.. Green took some
leaves which had been sewed together
by the ants and unfastened the stitch
es. The separated edges were drawn
together by the ants, and then, an hour
afterward, the larvae or grubs, held
in the mouths of the ants, were seen
to be passed backward and forward
across the gaps made in the leaves
The movements of the grubs were du-
ly directed by the ants, and the silk
threads spun by the mouths of the lar.
vac soon repaired the defects in the
leaves.

THE ossETINlANs.
A Race of the Caucasus Mountains
With a Georgian Dialect.


In the highest parts of the Caucasus
mountains, around the Kasbeek region.
there is tribe, very tall and hand
some, which speaks its own peculiar
dialect of the Georgian language and
has its own peculiar customs, differing
In many ways from those Of the
Tscherkesses, Armenians, Circassians
and other tribes that dwell in the same
country. 1t is the tribe of the Ossetin-
fans.
Like the rest of the Caucasus tribes.
they have recognized Russia's authori-
~. But they adhere to the claim that
they are not descended from Asiatic
races, like the other tribes, but that
their ancestors were German knights
who had gone to the crusades and who
after the disastrous end Of the last
crusade, had been driven into the wild
valleys Of the Caucasus, whence it was
impossible for them to win their way
out and homeward owing to the Wig
lance Of the Moslem foe. So at last
they settled down and took wives
among the Caucasus mountain women.
who have always been noted for their
beauty.
1t is strange fact that the Osse-
tinians understand the science Of brew
Ing malt liquors, and they are the only
ones who drink beer, the other tribes
preferring Asiatic liquors.
