ORIGIN OF SLANG PHRASE.
Michigan Professor Claims Dickens
Originated .!Twenty-three."

That Charles Dickens, the great Eng
lish novelist, is responsible for the Ori-
gin of the prevalent slang phrase. ''23. y
now seems to he an assured fact, ac-
cording TO a South Bend QndD special
dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The latest theory is advanced by Pro
fessor Newton Scott, head of the de
partment of rhetoric in the University
of Michigan.
In writing of the phrase Professor
Scott says:
at is quite possible that the express
sion was drawn from sentence in the
closing chapter of Dickens A Tale of
Two Cities The last scene depicts the
execution of Sidney Carton, the hero.
As the line of those condemned to die
advances slowly toward the guillotine
the women count the victims. Carton.
the twenty-third in line, steps up on
the platform of the guillotine. Then, to
quote Dickens:
1.-The murmur of many voices, the
upturning of many faces, the pressing
on of many footsteps in the outskirts
of the crowd. so that it swells forward
in Il mass; like one great heave of wa
ter, all flashes away-twenty- three.

A NEW JULY FOURTH PLAN.
Author OF sin His Steps" Again st
Spending Money Fer Fireworks.


The Rev. Charles IL Sheldon, author
of In His Steps" recently argued Il
new plan at Topeka, Kan, for the
celebration of the Fourth of July by
Topeka and all the towns and cities
throughout the United States, says the
Kansas City Times. Instead of spend
ing money for fireworks and other
foolish things. he says. would it not he
much better to take up a general col
lection for Il fund to build and equip
4 great public hall for each town and
city where gatherings calculated to up
lift the tone of the whole community
could be held?
Such Il hail." he said, could stand
on piece of ground large enough to
include Il children's playground, kept
and cared for by the children of the
city Within the building itself could
be held any gathering which conferred
about the welfare of the city. 1t could
be dedicated to ciYic progress, to good
citizenship rallies, sto children's gather
ings for learning patriotic songs, etc.
In other words, itswould be Il common
rallying place, not for entertainments
or amusements, lbut for the uplifting
of the whole city,in its moral, aesthetic
life"

Bed and Kitchen In an Auto.

OF all the automobiles ever turned
out by French manufacturers the one
lately made for Captain Lars Andersen
of Boston seems to be entitled to the
prize for originality, says special
Paris cable dispatch to the Chicago
Record Herald. 1t is n huge machine
fitted up for long tours. and in point
of speed equals any of the present day
touring cars. The Andersen car is fit
ted out with reversible furniture.
There is a combination bed and bureau
that is certainly a work of art, and
then there is a cook stove and dining
table arrangement that can be hauled
out at a moments notice. The whole
machine, in fact, is kind of miniature
hotel on wheels, with accommodations
for eating, sleeping, working or idling,
according to the fancy of the owner or
his guests.

POCKET WIRELESS SYSTEM.
Tiny Device Expected to Project
MessaEea For Thirty Miles.

Officers assigned to the bureau of
equipment of the United States navy
have under observation II pocket
wireless telegraph" device which. they
believe. when worked out, will be ca
pable of accurate service over an arc
of thirty miles, while weighing not
more than two pounds, says Il Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald.
The apparatus as now planned in
cludes a collapsible balloon of thin
rubber or similar material capable of
being inflated into an obloid three feet
across its greater diameter. The by
drogen gas will be produced by pat
ent compact cartridge, which is light
of weight and occupies little space.
1t is estimated that this balloon will
support POO feet of fine copper wire to
act as antennae. At the ground Will
be "detector'' not larger than the
bowl of corncob pipe. The sender
will be of the same size, and the whole
apparatus can be packed in the case of
a by inch snapshot camera.

ROAST FOR DOCTORS.
George Bernard Shaw Intimates That
Money L. Their Mania.

George Bernard Shaw, the English
critic and dramatist, has recently been
roasting the medical profession at an
antivivisection meeting in London,
says a cable dispatch to the New York
American and Journal. The versatile
dramatiSt said:
Doctors are like the police for in
timidation | have lately been to
France, where the police were trying
desperately to keep up the pretense
that there was a revolution, while the
French people We're obstinately refus-
ing to revolt on any terms and had to
be charged by dragons before they
could be persuaded TO do so. Doctors
are always threatening that If we do
not do as they advise us we shall die.
With regard to myself. they have warn
ed me against my diet, and l am con-
WINGED that when / do die, even if L
should then be 10, people will say.
That's what comes of disobeying the
DOCTORS
ITO threaten people with death If
they do not try certain cures is very
lucrative. The medical profession write
letters to the newspapers in which they
tell us what advantages have been
conferred on the human race by vivi-
section.
at is only OF late years that some
people have wanted to know why it is
that in spite of modern remedies there
are as many people who die OF the dis
eases against which they are directed
as before. The doctors reply that the
absolute mortality may be as great as
before, but that the case mortality
has diminisheS If this is so it shows
that, although they cure their patients,
they must create the cases they cure
when fashionable surgeons can
earn in Il single day from 60 to 300
guineas il is evident that they have
2 strong pecuniary motive for mutilat-
ing their fellow creatures. | cannot
help noticing that there are fashions in
operatio The surgeons are always
discovering that certain organs are
unnecessary and ought to be eXtirpat-
ed. At one time it was the tonSilS.
then the uvula, and now no self re
speeding person would think of going
about with an appendix.
For Il time formGlin was all the
fashion. One medical man tried it on
some pauper, then on something u lit
tie more eXpensive-namely, rabbits
and finally on himself. 1t was discov-
cred, however, that formalin does not
kill the tubercle bacillus; but, on the
contrary, the tubercle bacillus has Il
peculiar taste for it and thrives upon
il.
The arguments of the vivisector
much resemble in principle those of the
militant anarchists. What does it mat
ter the latter will say, If we blow to
pieces every one i'll this room, provided
we can thereby secure the millenni-
