"TEMSE" AND "THAMES."
origin of the Saying About Setting
the River on Fire.

origin of the Saying About Setting
the River on Fire.
Sometimes when u person wants to
make an unpleasant remark in pleas
ant sort of way about dull boy he
will say. THAT boy will never set the
river on fire" Now, that is all very
true, for even the smarteSt man in the
world could never set a stream of wa
ter on fire, and so perhaps many of
you who have heard this expression
have wondered what is meant by set
ting the river on fire.
In England many, many years ago,
before the millers had machinery for
Sitting -four, each family was obliged
to sift its own flour. For doing this
it was necessary to use a sieve, called
tense, which was so fixed that it
could be turned round and round in
the top of Il barrel If il was turned
too fast the friction would sometimes
cause it to catch fire, ard as it was
only the smart, Woodworking boys who
could make it go so fast the people
got into the way of pointing out a lazy
the tense on fire. After awhile these
| sieves went out of use, but as there
were still plenty of stupid bays in the
world people kept on saying that they
would never set the tense Oh fire.
Now. the name of the river Thames
is pronounced exactly like the word
tense and so after many years those
persons who had never seen or heard
of the old fashioned sieve thought that
''settirg the tense on fire. meant set
ting the river Thames on fire. This
expression became very popular and
| Travelled far and wide until the people
living near other streams did not see
why it WAS any harder for a slothful
boy 10 set the Thames on fire than any
other river. and so the name of the
rive" was dropped, and everybody after
that simply said "the river" meaning
the river Of his particular city or town
AMI that is how If is that people today
talk Of setting the river on fire.

Do YOu Get I'm EnrIxR

1t is not healthy in any country, at
any season of the year or at any time
of life, to get up early habitually. The
old are better rested by lying late,
even if not Isleep. while the young re-
quire all the sleep they can get. In all
ATTITUDES, in warm weather, the morn
ing air, although feeling cool and
fresh, is laden with the pestiferous
miasma. In winter the atmosphere be-
fore breakfast is so cold and chilly
and searching that it fairly shrivels up
man and beast, chilling to the very
marrowbone sometimes; hence the av-
erage duration of human life would be
increased and the amount of sickness
largely diminished by late rather than
early rising, as all the older nations
full well know and practice.-Ex

SOURCES OF MEDICINES.
What Various Drugs Look Like In

different lands do they represent? And
after they leave the Jars that hold
them now what are they made into?
Who, for example, would connect a
great pile of dry, thin twigs neatly tied
into small bundles with sarsaparillaf
These twigs are the creeping roots and
rootlets of prickly shrub that grows
in Jamaica, and they are worth from
10 cents to so cents a pound.
Somewhat similar in appearance is
ipecacuanha, which also comes to us
in dry twigs, which are part of the
trailing root of a plant found in the
damp forests of Brazil
These roots receive no preparation
save drying before they are shipped off
to the United States. They are packed
in large sacks, and the wOrkmen who
open the bales must beware of breath
ing the pungent, irritating dust given
off and which is productive of unpleas.

inclosed in the dry skins of monkeys
and in this strange form brought t,

One of the most interesting of drug
is opium, both on account of its awfu
potency and by reason of its grea
value. A case of opium, about 90
pounds, is worth $780, roughly. Tn
