Some years ago in Alabama one of
the most talented lawyers practicing
in the south was the late Colonel Bragg,
but he had a peppery temper.
Not only did Colonel Bragg's disposi-
ton involve him from time to time in
serious differences with his colleagues.
but it also led him to break off AMIGA
bic relations with a Judge Robinson, a
most estimable jurist. who while pre-
siding W. a suit in which Bragg was
interested had by his decision incurred
the resentment Of the advocate. So
for a long time the colonel declined
even TO speak to the judge save when
1t was absolutely necessary in the
course of business.
Finally, however, his better nature
getting the upper hand. Colonel Bragg
determined TO apologize to Judge Rob-
inson and endeavor to effect a renewal
of their former comparatively pleasant
relations. Meeting the judge one aft
ernoon on the steps of the ~statehouse.
he impulsively thrust out his hand and
said:
"See here. Judge; let's be friends
again. This thing has gone on long
enough"
"Why-er-Bragg," asked the judge

look of establishment on his face

A HISTORIC SHELLFISH.
The Purpura Was Quite n Factor In
the worlds Civilization.

A small sea creature has done a lot
TO assist the development OF civiliza-
ton. Ii is known as the murex or
purpura. From ii tie P~hoenicians
manufactured the Tyrian purple, the
origin of their wealth and prosperity.
AS each shellfish yielded but one drop
of the dyeing material and as 500
pounds were needed to dye fifty pounds
OF wool the home fisheries became in
time exhausted. Then. finding IL neces-
sary TO seek a supply elsewhere. the
traders started on the first voyage OF
discovery ever made. Owing to this
voyage the Mediterranean, with all the
countries that surround ii. was dis
covered.
Through this small creature also the
first colonies were founded. The Phoe-
nicians, finding it impracticable TO
bring home large shiploads OF the fish.
built at those spots where the raw ma
terial abounded factories. which gradu-
ally developed into permanent settle
ments.
And as many of these colonies were
founded on Grecian islands the apt
natives quickly acquired the arts and
Industries of their visitors, which were
soon diffused throughout Greece. and
the first seeds Of civilization were
sown.

n Word "Row.''

"Row" is one of the many words
which are rising TO responsibility with
advancing age. Todd's edition of John
sons dictionary uS27) denounced it as
"a very low expression Since ii APP
pears TO have been occasionally written
''roue" about a century ago some have
wished to find its origin in the French
''roue." Todd identifies it with the
older rouse a drunken bout, big
drinking glass or big drink, in which
that word several times occurs in
Shakespeare. Hamlet observes that
"the king doth wake tonight and takes
his rouse" Row" is supposed TO be a
false singular formed from "rouse,"
mistaken for a plural, as pea" for
''pease," sherry from "sherriS,"
cherry" from 'cheris." But ii seems
simpler to explain row" as short for
"row-de-dow," an excellent word for
noise.
