Hpueks and prakaa.~

The origin of the common saying Making ducks and drakes with one's money" Is attributed to a game de- scribed in the words of an old writer as "a kind of sport or play with an oister shell or stone thrown into water and making circles yer 1t sinke." If the stone emerges once, it Is a duck; If 1t emerges more than once, the game proceeds according to the following rhyme:
 1, 2. A duck and drake;
 8, And a halfpepny cake;
 1. And a penny to pay the old baker;
 s. A hop an a scotch
 Is another notch;
 6. Shtherum, slatherumI Take herl
 The game is evidently the same as that played even today by every boy who has access to pond or quiet river when he tries to make a smooth stone skip along the surface of the water. Its connection with the pop ular phrase is. of course, only a meta phorical one to indicate heedlessness in the use of money.

Best for Women and Children.

On account of mild action and pleasant taste Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup is es- pecially recommended for women and children. It does not nauseate or gripe like pills and ordinary cathartics. Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup aids digestion and stimulates the liver and bowels without irritating them. Remember the name Orino and refuse substitutes. finders Jacobsen.

Why Do Plants Grow Erect?

Exactly why trees and other plants grow erect has never as yet been def- nitely determined.

 The New London Business college will wind up it's school year in en- tirely different manner this summer.
 Instead of the elaborate graduation exercises which have been held at Lyceum theatre for the past four years, there will be no public gradu- ation exercises. and such exercises as are held it is planned now to make a part of a grand reunion of those who have attended the college or gradu- ated from it during the 20 years since it was founded in 1887. The invi- tations to participate in such an affair are being now prepared and will be sent out soon. The former members of the school are invited to bring friend or more. as many of them are now married and would not wish to come alone. It is proposed to hold the reunion at Wequetequock, between Stonington and Westerly, on the line of the Groton and Stonington trolley road, where there is 8 pavilion for shelter in the event of storm and other conveniences of entertainment. The reunion will be an all.day picnic affair and in addition to the holding of the graduation exercises there will be various events of athletic nature on both land and water. The pro- gram of the exercises will include be- sides delivery of diplomas, conferring of degrees, music, etc 8 five-m mute talk by some member of each class which has graduated from the school, if representation of all the classes can be obtained. An orchestra, in addi- tion to the musical organization of the college, will be secured and mu- sic for dancing in the pavilion pro- vided. The date for this reunion will be July 30 in all probability, and on Monday evening, July 29, there will be a reception at the col lege rooms in Harris building, with program to be announced later. The members will be asked to circulate the notice of the affairs to all mem. bers they see, as the college does not have addresses of everyone who has graduated or attended the school, and must consequently fail to get invita- tions to all. A similar reunion pie nic and cutting was held in 1894 at Crescent beach, and a pleasant time enjoyed sby a large number of the six classes of the school then existing.

Time to Compromise.

In Mcintosh county, Ga, there was lawsuit about COW. The COW was dead, but the lawsuit went on. It was decided by the justice of the peace, ap- pealed, remanded, decided again and once more appealed and remanded. This went on until the case came back to the squire for the eleventh time. It was jury case, and when the last trial was on the squire astonished the attorney by announcing an indefinite postponement, saying:
 ''This case has exhausted the whole jury venire of the county, and you will have to wait until the coming genera don gets old enough for jury duty"
