AMUSING BLUNDERs.
Some Queer Slips That Have Boon
Made by Famous Writers.

Made by Famous Writers.
The writer Of an article in the
Yorkshire Post recalls some amusing
literary blunders. Translators con
tribute largely to the list of mis-
takes, and the inspired lack of ac-
curacy of our Gallo neighbors when
dealing with things English is pro-
verbal. Victor Hugo in Les Ira
vailleurs de la Mer" translates ''the
Firth of Forth by the words "Pre-
mier des quatre." " Then there is the
priceless translation that gave Glib
ber's play, "Love's Last Shift" the
title ia Derniere Chepnise de
PAmour."
Chaucer in his tale of Troylus
makes Pandarus refer to Robin
Hood. One writer records the fact
that Virgil placed Eneas in a har-
Dor which had no existence at that
time, 'the blunder being about the
same as if a modern poet we're to
make Columbus pass through the
Suez canal"
Medieval romance teens with
anachronisms, "Orlando Furioso,"
Ariosto's great poem, taking the
prize for reckless disregard Of chro-
nology. In this work Charlemagne
and Edward, king of England; Hen
ry, duke Of Clarence, and other mis-
mated celebrities enjoy each others
company. The Moors are settled in
Spain at least 800 years before the
Saracens invited them, while Pres
ter John, who died in 1902, and
Constantine the Great, dead in 337,
figure gayly in these daring pages.
Schiller in his "Piccolomini" re-
fers to lightning conductors $50
years before they were invented, and
Shakespeare, whose genius included
a happy gift of inaccuracy, is gener-
Gus in blunder. In "Juius Caesar
the clock, a luxury unknown to the
Romans. is the subject of conversa-
tion between Brutus and Cassius.
Peace" SAYS Brutus, "count the
clock" Cassius: "The clock has
stricken g." 1t must have been
several hundred years after the
death of Caesar that striking clocks
were invented. Cervantes is respon-
sible for making the company at the
Crescent tavern sit down twice to
supper on the same evening, a jovial
mistake that savors of hospitality
and good cheer.
To Charles Dickens we owe graft
tude for many a delicious blunder-
to Mr.. Squeers for setting his boys
to work to hoe turnips in midwinteI
and to the girl, Tattycoram, in ''Lit-
tie Dorrit," who enters with an
iron box two feet square under her
arm"
1t was a Glasgow paper that de-
scribed this unique shipping disas-
ter: '"The captain swan ashore, a;
did also the stewardess. She wa;
insured for $4,000 and carried 20C
tons of pig IRON"

blunder. A sensible American is,
if not friends with her servants, at
least friendly. The English woman,
if she is sensible, presents to her
servants a surface of perfect indif-
ference, and then she has peace, for
the English servant despises a con-
siderate and kindly mistress as not
knowing her place. The most diff
cult thing for a stranger to learn is
that impalpable line between the diff
ferent servants duties. If one does
not enumerate what one expects of
them when they are hired, afterward
it is too late. They have, however, a
rough sense of honor, and they gen
orally do what they agree to.-Mrs.

The following facts remind us that
many of our human devices are not
original with us:
The woodpecker has powerful little
trip-hammer.
The jaws of the tortoise and turtle
are natural scissors.
The framework of a ship resembles
the skeleton of herring.
The squirrel carries a chisel in his
mouth and the bee the carpenters
plane.
The gnat fashions its eggs in the
shape Of a llfeboat. You cannot sink
them without tearing them to pieces.
The dlying-bell initiates the water
spider. II constructs n small cell under

The open front seen on most of the
models will give the lingerie blouse an
opportunity to show.
Generally speaking the leg Of mutton
sleeve is the preferred style for street
gowns.
The redlngote will continue to hold
its own, undoubtedly, but the short
jacket or blouse will be preferred by
the majority Of women.
There are any number of short boz
leros, some of them resembling the
loose cape bolero of last season.
Childrens frocks and coats show the
same lavish tendencies which distin-
guish grown-up fashions.
Very pretty little directoire jackets,
with fancy waistcoats and broad,
pointed lapels also appear among
spring walking suits.

Health of tho Children.

The School Board of Cincinnati has
issued the "Syballus Of Hygiene" by
which it is hoped the teachers may in
still into the hearts and minds of their
charges the doctrine Of health and
cleanliness.
Among others there are also the fol-
lowing precepts:
Go to bed early at a regular hour.
Do not drink very cold water when
overheated.
Eat less meat and more vegetables
Brush the teeth every morning; rinse
the mouth after every meal
Dirt should be removed from finger
nails daily; poisonous germs gather un-
der the nails.
Wash the hair with water and soap;
brush il frequently.
The temperature OF room In cold
weather should be about seventy de-
grees.-Philadelphla Press.

A Dog HItohing Post.

Everyone has seen the dog that rides
behind his master ON horseback, and
the dog that leads the old blind man,
and the one that carries his masters
cane or paper, and the dog that can do
tricks, but 1t has been left to An up
town expressman to utilize his little
spaniel as hitching-post. Almost ey-
cry day he may be seen seated by his
masters side, with a strap attached to
a collar he wears. When the team
stops and the expressman has to go
into the house the dog jumps down
and his master fasteus the strap to the
horses bride. The dog will then sit
down and look up into the horses face
and remain IN that position tlll the ex-
pressman releases him. At this he
leaps into the wagon and they drive

A woman's Pocket.

For one blessing man is envlable-his
pockets. Woman occasionally has q
pocket, but she can't use 1t. "Put in a
pocket" she pleads, and the dress
maker sends home the new skirt with
a pocket slowed away in the recesses
of a hook-up placket hole. 1t is not a
workable pocket for three reasons:
First, it bulges IL there is even n
handkerchief in it, destroying the sym
metry of the outline.
Second, things aimed at II rarely sue
ceed in forcing an entrance, but fall
alongside, downward with a whack on
the floor.
Third, who could tumble through a
whole row of hooks and eyes, placed in
the centre OF the seam at the back
AS a trifing obstacle in the way of
blind manipulation it may mentioned
that such hooks are usually of tricky
patent, or they would not stay fastened
at all.
At the hem Of the garment, under

tiny creEcent-shaped pouch may also
be found lurking. A handkerchief can

Kn.t For the Mother.a

You cannot serve your family better
than by resting yourself. An over
tired mother cannot make sunshine in
the home. Try to take even half an
hour of complete rest some time during
the afternoon, says Woman's Life. IT
will often be hard to get away, but
make duty of 1t and you will accom-
plish it. If you were i'll the children
would have to get on without you; let
them do it while you are keeping well
for their sakes. Think over the things
that can best go undone, and leave
some of them while you sleep. Rest is
much cheaper and more agreeable than
a doctors bill, and If you do not have
one you will surely have the other.

Too many women when they become
wives and mothers cease their reading
as they forget their songs. Bright
speech and good story may be told
over the coffee with much better effect
than the recital of the household wor-
ries and the ways of the handmalden,
topics in high favor with most women
when the man of the house returns at
eventide. There is nothing as fascinat-
ing to the masculine nature as the ele-
ment of uncertainty in life, in business
and all the contingencies of life. That
is why he CANDLES in great things and
in small. Chance is the modern Clrce.
And well do women know this, yet II
is experience alone that teaches them
that the only way to hold the love and
interest of a man is to keep him guess
ing what chameleon trick she will next
spring upon him. Once realizing and
acting upon this knowledge, she holds
the key of the citadel, his heart, and
may defy the world.

Destructive Dress Trimming.

If hostess has an uncertain smile
and wandering glance when greeting
a guest, 1t is safe to suspect that she
is looking for sharp buckles and but
tons before venturing to seat the new
conner in one of her mahogany chairs.
If signs of these tabooed ornaments
are discovered the wearer is gently per-
suaded to try a seat padded and cush-
ioned. With feminine perversity she
usually manages to wriggle into the
latest bit of polished carved wood while
the hostess is momentarily distracted
by watching another arrival. In this
connection it is interesting TO note that
the popularity Of cut steel and jet is
as unabated as that of mahogany

THE BEAUTY CHASE

Here are some the things that so
ciety women really do or have Gone il
the mad chase for beauty:
They take milk baths.
They bathe their faces daily in real
sweet cream.
They have their entire faces skinned,
so that new skin may grow over the
old surface.
They have their noses shaped.
They shave their eyebrows into per-
feet arch.
They have their lips shaped into a
cupid's bow.
They have all natures fine hairs re-
moved from the skin by electrolysis.
They have real dimples cut in their
cheeks and chins.
They have good strong crooked teeth
removed and artificial straight ones
screwed on to the stumps
They 20 into complete retirement for
six months at time, are done over"
and emerge perfect beauties.
They have artificial figures built in
their frocks and artificial insteps made
in their slippers.
But it is not all wasted time. Never
has the world been so crowded with
beautiful women! Never have there
been so many unbeautiful women who
have produced the illusion of beauty
