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,
a broken-off piece, but it occurs first
in old French signifying a piece OF
bread given to.a beggar. Hence the
Italian "birba," vagrancy, and the old
French ''bribeur," a beggar OF greedy
devourer. "Bribe" 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.

Bait Box Ready for Business.

The Rev. NJ. 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 great lover
of trout fishing, and his baby boy OF
q. 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.
Luckily for the minister, he was
nearly through, and he managed to
finish without a smile.

Freak Fears of the Great

IT Is known that Henry III, who gave evidence
OF ms bravery many occasions, was afraid
OF cats; and the great Mcyerbecr, whenever he was
invited dine, tool, pains to ascertain before
hand whether there was a feline in the house. N
which case It had to be carefully concealed. Car
raccioli, the companion OF Jeanne II, Queen Of
Naples. had a morbid fear Of mice. The Duke Of
Epcrnen was frightened out Of his wits and lost
Consciousness on seeing Young mule. WladlsIav.
King Of Poland. fled whenever he apple.
Scaiger trerlblcd al when he Hatercre-ses
Bacon tainted when he saw eclipse of the moon.
Bavlc had commissions when he heard the noise Of
water falling from a spout The Young poet Arthur
Hugh Cough fell prostrate after looking over the
brow of a bcetling clitt at the open sea below.
These only q few samples OF the multitude Of
freak fears found III otherwise normal and
courageous. To deSpise them on this account IS as
absurd as it would be deSpise them because OF the
color OF their hair eyes the shapes Of their noses,
their stature ything else which they have
no control
1t is doubtful if there has ever lived single
since the beginning of the who has been abso-
lutelv devoid OF fear NoItaIre claimed that fear
was a natural attribute Of man. Men differ from
each other only TO the amount Of their fear and
it Is this which separates them into two distinct
classes the courageous and the tmId. 1t natural
to admire and honor the former but it should also
be remembered that they really deserve no more
credit for being brave than the timid deserve dis
credit for being CoWardly. Nature has made the
same differences among men Is she has made among
the other animals. Contrast, for example as an
English scientist has done. the tmid house hy and
