The following story Of Oliver Wen
dell Holmes was told some years ago
by a physician who was a student in
the Harvard Medical school when Dr.
Holmes was an instructor in anatomy
there.
One day the subject before the class
was the Uranium, and human skull
was passed from hand to hand, the in
structor asking the members of the
class to describe the prominences, cav
tiles and apertures. Student after stu
dent gave the names and locations of
the orifces, until finally the inquiry
narrowed down TO one opening which
baffied every one.
DR.. Holmes waited patiently for
some one to distinguish himself. but
no explanation was advanced. When
all had given 1t up, the doctor rather
dryly remarked: THAT is Holmes hole.

rrucing Back u Common Saying.

1t is n curious bit of literary exercise
TO take IL common saying and trace 1t
back to its origin. Take the common
saying, for instance, "Ail that glitters
Is not gold" 1t is found In current
literature everywhere and in dozen
different forms. Dryden renders IT.,
"All, as they say, that glitters Is not
gold" Spenser says. Gold all is not
that doth golden SEEM" Lydgate has
the same idea in the words. .'Ail is
not gold that outward sheweth bright. ="
Chaucer expresses it in somewhat diff
ferent phraseology. Middleton has it..
"All is not gold that glistcneth," and
Shakespeare says. IAN that glistens Is
not gold" Go little farther back,
however, and the same expression IS
found Is the monkish collection OF
proverbs, and there is no doubt II 4
classical scholar were to set to work
with the determination TO hunt the
proverb down. no matter how long it
took, he would find it in Latin, Greek
and most other ancient and dead ian
guages 1t Is natural outSrowth OF
sarcasm as applied TO fictitious show
and is no doubt as old as the science
Of metal working.

On the northern coast of Norway the
fishermen get Il yearly harvest from
the whales which stray into the har-
bors. At certain localities, where the
bays are almost landlocked. lofty
stands are erected, similar to the otter
outlooks on the north Pacific, and
when a school is sighted scores Of
boats put ont and, by the simple
process of driving. hundreds of the oil
producing cetaceans are entrapped.
The Farce islands are famous for this
method OF whaling. One Of the largest
catches ever made was In LIvarfiord,
Iceland, where eleven hundred were
driven ashore. The blacktish, or
whales, come down the Atlantic coasts
from the north, encounter shallow
water, then follow it along Snd are
naturally led into the cul-de-sac await
ing them. Here the boats easily sur
round and drive the whales in.

Give Us a Splitting Ordinance.

The public seems to demand that
we take up the question of splitting on
the sidewalks and on the floors of
public rooms, as it has been one of
the leading topics in many of our
cities of late. From a sanitary point
it is necessary that this filthy habit
be stopped some way. It is often the
case that the pavement in front of a
number of our business houses on
Main Street are in such condition
at times with tobacco spit that it is
almost impossible for the ladies to
wade through. The other day num-
Der of ladies were returning from a
euchre in the country on the interur-
ban, and several of them had their
handsome dresses ruined by the
stream of tobacco spit that flowed in
the car. This is an outrage and some
measure should be put in vogue that
will stop this filthy habit of careless
men. Fifty men were arrested in
Chicago Tuesday for splitting on the
sidewalks. Give us an ordinance, city
fathers, and if it is enforced it will
decrease annoyance and disgust and
do much to prevent the spread of
disease and death.

Friday, the following resolution was
adopted;
''In view of the fact that this COM
pany has been unsuccessful in secur-
ing the necessary funds with which to
pay for the 1904 crop of hurley tobac-
co, and in view of the fact that on ac-
count of the lateness of the season,
we deem it inadvisable to further de-
lay the matter or make further efforts
in that direction; therefore,
''Be it resolved, by the Board of
Directors of the Burley Tobacco
Company, that all contracts giving
options on tobacco to the company
be, and the same, together with all OF
said options, are released in full and
surrendered to the respective signers.
