Oddities of English.

Bribery" is word with curious
history. In the old Geneva Bible it is
said of the scribes and pharisees that
they make clean the outer side of the
cup and of the platter, but within they
are full of bribery" The authorized
version has "extortion," and there is
no doubt that by bribery the Gen
eva Bible meant robbery. Bribery
probably meant originally a morsel,
broken-off piece, but it occurs first
in old French, signifying a piece Of
bread given to beggar. Hence the
Italian "birba," vagranCy, and the old
French "bribeur," a beggar or greedy
devourer. Bride" developed in two
directions-in the senses Of robbery
and of a present. When Falstaff
speaks of "a bribed buck" he means
not one that has been corrupted, but
one that has been stolen.

prevention of Cruelty to the Soil"
Here is something new under the
sun:
A man named Rockwell Sayre of
Bryn Mawr, Pa, has proposed law
for the prevention of creulty to land. =
He has organized society after the
model of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals.
He says the land of the country is
being ABUSED, cruelty treated" by
heartless farmers who plant the same
crop year after year. There is no ro-
tation, no resting of the soil by using
it as meadow or pasture.
Therefore Mr.. Sayre has had a bill
drawn which he has sent to several
state legislatures, forbidding the plant
ing of the same crops year after year
OH Tic SdIIic
He says we have lost the buffalo and
the pineries of the north, both of
which were declared to be ineXhaust-
IDLE, and now are exhausting the soil
on the same theory.
There is no doubt the people of the
eastern states are now face TO face
with the alternative. And more or less,
a like situation may some time con-
front the owners of lands in the mid
dle-western and western states.
Millions of dollars worth of fertil-
izers must be used every year on the
WORKOUT lands of the east. In the
country west of the Mississippi where
the land is newer and more fertile the
necessity is not yet apparent-but it
probably Will be-
Excuses of any sort produce degen-
eracy. Overburdening of the soil is no
exception.
The strength of America is the

Bait Box Ready for Business.

The Rev. M. H. Smith, while pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church of
South Londonderry, VT, preached at
least one sermon which will be re-
membered by those who heard it. His
text was, Follow me and l will make
you fishers OF men"
Now the minister was a great lover
of trout fishing, and his baby boy OF
4, who was then making mud pies in
the parsonage yard nearby, knew it
well. Hearing his father talking
about fishing, and wishing to help
papa get ready, he got the bait box
and, trudging up the center aisle
straight to the pulpit, he held it up
and said, Here's your bait box, papa. q
Luckily for the minister, he was
nearly through, and he managed to
finish without a smile.

Defeat Ship Subsidy Bill.

The circumstances surrounding the
defeat of the ship subsidy bill, pro-
vokes the Wsupaca Post to say:
The democratic party, for the first
time in several years, proved that it
had a right to exist, when, IN the
closing hours of congress, its mem
bers in the senate baked the notori-
Gus ship-subsidy bill, and defeated it's
final passage. The bill was forced
through the house on Friday last on
" by the most rabid kind of party
work, and we are glad to note that
Con gressmen Davidson, Cooper and
Nelson of this state were against 1T.
When it got to the senate, the demo-
Gratis started filibuster, and Senator
Blackburn announced that he would
talk upon it until time to adjourn, if
necessary to prevent its passage. Fin
allv Senator Gallinger, who had the
bill in charge, withdrew it, and the
session ended peacefully. President
Roosevelt is usually SO eminently
right in his opinions, that his advo
cacy of the ship-subsidy bill will not
materially injure him. Wa upaca

The CITY Campaign

Election is not over, as some would
have it appear. The city of Ladysmlth
is wide awake community : wide
awake to necessities.
The city is larger than any little
crowd that gets together in back
room or a basement and attempts to
control an election. That thing has
been tried before. 1t doesn't work.
Large bodies move slowly-that is
why the people don't get action as
quickly as a machine why machine
candidates are first in the field.
But when the people get action, the
machine is no longer in the game.
Nearly everyone met on the street
this week asked: ''Who is going to be
mayor?"
They are awaiting the crystalizing of
sentiment.
They have had a good administration
and want another.
The people of the city have rejected
factional candidates before and appear
willing to do so some more.
The city will find the man and elect
him.

There is sport of every kind, from

shoot panthers and hyenas. The lion

hired in Tangier for about a dollar

are always comfortable mules pro-
vided, with any number OF Arab and
slave servants The slave market, by
the way, is no longer one of the
sights of Tangier, since Christian
influence long ago abolished it. This
does not mean, however, that the
slave trade is not carried on Indeed
the traveller ''in the know" may fire.

THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One of Solid Color Will AIwavs Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is solid colored wall. II fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures. it throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as background for furniture.
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment The
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic it is
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for a few
days, while the allwool keeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs off, never flakes nor chips
OF and is always ready for a fresh
coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water.
then go over the plaster after YOU
hare removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for
clean wall cannot be built ON an un-
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matterI adhering
to the wall scrape them off with
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
material made from cheap varnish.
