4 certain curate was of a painful
ly nervous temperament and in
consequence was constantly max
ing awkward remarks-intended as
compliments-to the bishop and
others. Having distinguished him
self in an unusual degree during a
gathering of clergy to an afternoon
tea at the bishops palace, he was
taken to task for his failings by
senior curate, who was one OF
his companions on the way home.

Corruption of Names.

The name of Applecross, the old
Ross-shire seat Of the MackenZies,
is a modern corruption Of Abercro-
san, meaning "at the mouth of tine
Crosan," the little river which there
flows into the Atlantic. The names
of many places in Scotland have I'M
dergone changes as curious and
confusing. The thousands Of travel
crs who weekly alight at the fine sta
ton of st. Enoch, in Glasgow Called
after the neighboring church), no
doubt idNtify the name in some
vague way with the patriarch
Enoch, mentioned in an early chap
ter of Genesis. 1t is really a cor
rupted form of St. Thenog, or The
nav, who was the mother of Kenti-
germ, Glasgow's first bishop and pa
iron saint and who is the subject
Of as quaint a legend as any to be
found in medieval sacred history.

THE TYPEWRITER.
Various Tests That Should Be Applied
Before PURCHASING.

Always look a typewriter over
well before buying or renting.
The first test which stenogra-
pher makes of new typewriter is
to ascertain whether all the keys
work and whether the types are all
perfect or not. Il :. -s~a ....s 1&< j.
The sentence "The quick brown
fox jumps over the lazy dog" is the
one which is usually used, for it
contains every letter of the alpha
bet. Many use, "Now is the time
for every good man to come to the
|'aid Of his, country" But this one
is not so good, for four or five let
tiers are missing.
After punching out the test sem
tence on the small letters it should
be repeated, using the capital let
ters. Then the figures should be
punched in rotation, for they are
often inaccurate.
The most vulnerable points in a
typewriter. are the keys and types.
With little use they are apt to fly
off, and it is highly important to
ascertain that these are all securely
affixed.
Another point is the action. If
the typewriter does not have a free
and easy movement, you are certain
to have trouble with it.
In buying a second hand machine
or in routing always look carefully
at the types, for usually they are
worn uneven from use or have been
Jared slightly ont of place. If two
or three types are inaccurate, they
will ruin the whole appearance of
the typewriter sheet.
1t has been found by many large
firms that the renting of machines
is much cheaper than the owning
Of them. 4 typewriter needs con-
slant attention and repairs. Usual
l. the renting company includes the
repairing in the rental contract,
and that is where the saving comes
in.
4 typewriter is as delicate as a
watch. Never attempt to repair a
break yourrclf. Ii will probably
evolve into "A series of complications
which will r,ake a costly repair job.
Always keep the machine clean.
The work will he ncatcr and cleaner
il tie machine is clean and well oil
ed, and the life of the typewriter
depends directly upon the cleaning
and oiling.-New York Herald.

PLACING the Value.

Edward Everett Hale was one OF
the guests at New York million
aires dinner. The millionaire was
a free spender, but, he wanted full
credit for every dollar he put out.
And as the dinner progressed he told
his guests what the expensive dishes
had cost. '"This terrapip," he would
say. was shipped direct from Bal
timore. 4 Baltimore cook came on
TO prepare it. The dish actually
cost dollar a teaspoonful." So he
talked of the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense of
the large and beautiful grapes. He
told, down to a penny, what he had
figured it out that the grapes had
cost him apiece. The guests looked
ANNOYED. They ate the expensive
grapes sparingly. But DR.. Hale.

said, "Would YOU mind cutting me

Whct Makes This Popular Phrase 8
ProvinciaIism.

Philologists claim that some OF
the most interesting phases of Il
language, may be traced through the
medium of so called colloquialisms
and idioms, and a consideration Of
The phrase 'you al" as used
throughout the south, would Ger
tainly seem to make good this as,
fertioA. The subject is treated in
Incic I'rmHs' Magazine in an arti-
Gle by c. Alphonso Smith of the
University of North Carolina. He
says in Part;
EIn almost every discussion of
this id,om the disputants have con-
fined themselves to the question,
is it used in the south asa singu-
lar" Northern writer's have gen
orally supported the affirmative,
while southern writers have defend
ed the negative. In fact, Mason
and D;Xon's line will have to be re-
traced and made to mark not a po-
litical but an idiomatic distinction.
The shbbolcth is no longer, What
do you think of slavery or secession
or state rights? but, On the con-
tested Use Of you all are you for the
singular or for the plural?
Southern people undoubtedly
use YOU all in a sense particularly
their own and not as the equiva-
lent Of all of you.
"What, then, is the distinctive
meaning attached to this idiom in
the south? What makes the phrase
a provincialism as nsed in the
south, but not a provincialism as
used elsewhere? The following
sentences will illustrate:
: "Flr:t.-A mother to her chill
drca, ii YOU all (you children) don't
make less noise, I'll send you to
bed
"Second.-A teacher to his pu-
pills, You all (you pupils haven't

tic sentences would a southerner
ever think Of substituting all of you
