ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Common Abuse of the Verbs to Get,
to Lay and to Lie.

Common Abuse of the Verbs to Get,
to Lay and to Lie.
The verb to get is one of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire,
win, obtain, and primarily 1t signifies
the putting forth of effort to attain
something. Consequently it is not only
superhuous, but Incorrect, to speak of
a man as getting drowned" or "get-
ting SICK" ana you may unfortunately
'have a cold" but it Is impossible that
you "have got cold" At this mo-
ment no exceptions occur to the writer
to the. rule that got should never be
used in connection with have, which
alone sufficiently expresses possession.
Say 81 have the picture" not II have
got the picture" "The dog has q
broken leg" not "The dog has got a
broken leg,
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently confounded. Lay is an &C
tive or transitve verb, and lie is pas
sIve or intransltiye. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie at rest. You lie down,
have lain down, Will lie down or are
lying down; she lay down yesterday
and is going to lie down this afternoon.
A frequent error is to cOnfound the
past lenses of these verbs. One should
say, MARY laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book
lies on the table.

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
The Art of Angling Is as Old as the
Human Race.

The Art of Angling Is as Old aB the
Human Race.
The art of angling no doubt had its
origin In mans necessities. The earli-
est record of mankind makes reference
to the taking of fish for food. There
are frequent illusions to 1t in the Bible.
Job, in the oldest book Of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out leviathan with
a hook or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put
hook In his nose" Homer, in the
Iliad," speaks of fishing in these lines:
As bearing death in the fallacious bait,
From the bent angle sinks the leaden
weight.
And it Is recorded in the odyssey"
As when the angler, his long rod in hand.
On projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the balted snare,
Then filings the wriggling Captives in the
air
The Romans, Greeks and other races
Of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art Of angling. Plutarch
tells of a prank played by the fair
Egyptian, Cleopatra, while out fishing
with Antony, "They wagered on their
angling, and her divers did hang a
salt fish on his hook, which he with
fervor drew up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum
and PompeIi abound in frescoes Of
fishermen. All along the track Of his
tory are found traces Of this gentle
recreation, showing the gradual i'm
provement from the hook of bone and
rude equipment Of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings OF
the modern angler.

DESTRUCTIVE ARTISTS.
the Ruin They Wrought While
Smarting Under Criticism.


BY no means unusual was the de
struction of the BOrglum angels In the
Cathedral Of st. John the Divine by the
sculptor himself while smarting under
the criticism that there were no male
angels shown.
Gerome, the famous French sculptor
had been working for weeks on the clay
model Of a group representing Spring

the artist became convinced that the

he had beaten the entire group into a

NATURES CRUELTY.
The IchneumOn Fly Makes Its Nat-
urnI Enemy Serve ItH Purpose.

urnI Enemy Serve Its Purpose,
The ichneumon fly Of Caylon is the
natural enemy Of the spider This ip-
sect is green in color, and In form re-
sembles a wasp with marvelously
thin waist. 1t makes its nest of well
worked clay and then goes on a hunt
Ing expedition. Its victims are In
variably spiders Of various kinds, but
all are subject to the same mode Of
treatment. A scientific sting injects
some poison which effectually paralyzes
the luckless spider which Is then carried
off to the nest and there fastened with
a dab Of moist clay Another and an
other victim is brought to this chamber
Of horrors. Then the president mother
ichneumon fly proceeds to deposit her
eggs, one In the body Of each spider,
which can just move Its legs in a vague,
aimless manner, but can offer no re-
slstanCe
This done, the fly returns to her work
as a mason. She prepares more clay
and builds up the entrance to this
ghastly cell. Then she commences a
new cell, which she furnishes In like
manner and then closes; then she adds
yet another cell and so proceeds until
her store of eggs are all provided for,
and, her task In life being accomplished,
she dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch
at leisure. In due time these horrid lit
tie maggots come to life and find them
selves Graded in larder Of fresh meat.
Each poor spider Is still alive, and his
Juices afford nutriment for the lchneu-
mon grub till it Is ready to pass in the
Chrysalls stage, thence to emerge as
winged fly fully prepared to carry out
the traditions of Its ancestors with re-
gard to spiders.

THE STOMACH.
How 1t Is Affected by the Use of
Mixed Fatty Foods.

How 1t IL Affected by the Use of
Mixed Fatty Foods.
The stoIach never has the least pow
er Of dIgesting true fat. This is dis
posed Of in the intestnes. When eat
ell in the ordinary forms, as fat meat,
butter, etc, the fat separates out In
the stomach and does not In the least
interfere with the work Of the gastric
juice on the other food, but when a
nonfatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric juice getting at the food it
could digest. Fish fried in oil or but
ter Is by no means the most marked
example, as the fat does not penetrate
very deeply. Potatoes mashed with
butter are rather worse, and minced
vegetables fried with butter are bad
offenders. The reason advanced ex-
plains why pork is difficult of dlges-
ton. The muscular tibers are mixed
up with fat cells, and by the liberation
of the oil in each tiny cell the eaten
pork is made into an oily paste. A
very strong stomach will do the work
required, but it is not fair task to
impose frequently, and weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
reminding It's owner by few stabs
that it will not stand such treatment.

Napoleon's Poison.

A curious detail Of Napoleon Bona

with which he kept hung around his
neck the little leather envelope, shaped
Ike a heart, which contained poison
that was to liberate him in case Of lr-

poison was prepared after recipe that
Cabanaia had given to Corvisart, and

undertook q campaign without having

Practical Eye Wash.

A little salt and water used as an eye
wash will cleanse and strengthen In
famed Iashes and rest tired eyes. 1t is
safe to use it at any time that irrita-
ton is felt. A New York surgeon pre-
scrlbes the ocean for bad eyes, partic-
ularly young eyes. Get off" he says,
whenever you can and let the salt
and the sea breeze wash and blow
around your eyes. 1t will do them
good. 1t will dislodge the germs Of
disease, for the air breathed by half
the world is germ laden, and sore eyes
are more quickly caught than small
pox and more fatal. 1t will brighten
and strengthen them and prolong their
beauty and usefulness"

government officials are not worrying
Ihey know that the quarter ending
April is one Of the most prosperous for

year after year the average return for
the quarter ending March q Is consider
