PALINDROME S.
Words and Phrases That Spell the
Same Backward and Forward.

"There are in the English Ian
guage certain words and sometimes
whole sentences of which the let
tiers composing them, taken either
in direct or in reverse order, read
the same. Such combinations are
called palindromes, name derived
from two Greek words meaning to
run again-that is, the letters run
or read backward as well as for
ward
'When the first man met the first
woman-whose name, Eve, by the
way, is a paindrome-he may have
introduced himself to her thus:
Madam, I'm Adam In this sup
posed case | assume that he spoke
English and not a garden of Eden
ish dialect, and if my supposjtion be
correct he made use of palm
dromic expression.
Among the simple words of this
kind or instances of whole sentences
are deed, defed, cog, Hannah, level,
minim, redder, nun, repaper, re
viver, rotator, sexes, shahs and tat.
WAS it cat saw p is palindromic
Barring the spelling the follow
ing sentence may be given: 'Lewd
did | live & evil | did dwell An
other example is, Desserts | desire
not, SO long no lost one rise dis
tressed.' 1t is said that Napoleon
was once asked whether he could
have invaded England, when he re-
piled, Able was | ere | saw Elba.
This is a good specimen of palm
rome, but of course the reply was
never made, as he would have an
swered in French. Here is one in
Latin, Subj dura a rudibus.' En-

"The following list Of five words
furnishes a remarkable combina-
ton of letters. With one exception
they are all Latin words in good re-
pute, and the letters are capable Of
many regular transformations:

The Wooins Of Katherine Hollinss-
worth BY George Robinson.
Valentine Hollingsworth accompanied
William Penn in the good ship Wei
rome and settled in Delaware upon the
banks Of the BrandywIne. Katherine
his daughter "a delectable Quaker
maiden" the pride of the little settle
ment was wooed and won by big
George Robinson. But George was Of
the Church Of England, and Katherine
"must be married Ia meeting"
George, writes the author Of Heir
looms In Miniature was willing to
join the society. be Friend and be
married in meeting or anywhere else
that Katherine said. Accordingly he
and Katherine made their first deeiata-
ton fifth day, first month. I6ss.'
The elders. however, had "scruples,"
seeing that Georges conversion was
very sudden. and they asked him this
searching question:
Friend Robinson, dost thou join the
Society of Friends from conviction or
for the love Of Katherine Holdings
WORTH
George hesltated. He priced the truth
and he did wish to marry Katherine.
So he answered:
II wish to join the society for the
love of Katherine Hollingsworth."
The Friends counseled delay and
that Friend Robinson should be per-
suasively and instruetively dealt with"
Shrewd men as they were, they allow
ed Katherine to deal with him, and
within a year George Joined the socie-
~ as a true convert.
An old manuscript reads, "He and
Katherine were permitted TO begin
long and happy married life together,
being for many years an example Of
plety and goodness TO those around
them and retaining their love Of truth
and loyalty to the society to the list"

HEWlNG THE 49, AGAIN.


The industrial status OF the granite
business has, according to our way OF
thinking, been several grades in adj
vance Of almost any other large under
taking in this country. There has been
minimum Of disturbance, with its at
tsndant i'll feeling and open strife.
Where strikes and lockouts have been
prolonged they have not been accom-
panied by disgraceful and lawless &C.
tions on the part of both sides or the
agents Of both sides, such as, for in
stance, we have had occasion TO note in
connection with strikes and lockouts in
the teaming business. There has rare
" been an act to bring shame upon
either organization concerned. This, as
VIC view it, places the industrial plane
of this business far ahead Of the others.
And now, TO add to the prestige Of
the parties concerned the great Granite
Cutters International union and the
National association of the Granite In
dustries of the United States, embrace
ing Practically all the employers, are
ining together in plan to still fur
rther reduce to minimum the possibility
for even cessation Of work pending a
readjustment Of wages or industrial con-
ditions. In no large business do we re-
call a similar effort. So in taking this
step the parties concerned are hewing
the way to the common desideratum
wherein lies the greatest measure Of
success for ALA point where friendly
relations shall obtain and where both
sides act with equal justice, giving or
yeceiving as the prosperity Of the times
warrants.
In isolated cases there even now ex-
list certain stipulations in present in
dustrial agreements that, pending re-
adjustment Of bills of prices, there shall
be neither strikes nor lockouts, and
