The Story of a Word.

A comparison of old editions Of
Scotts Monastery with one of later
date will reveal a slight alteration in
the text of a sentence in the tenth
chapter. For the word morse" an
other is substituted. A tale of comedy
attaches to the word which has gone
Hardened wretch" says FatLer Eus-
tace, "art thou but this instant deliv-
cred from death, and dost thou so soon
morse thoughts of slaughter?' The
origin of the word morse seems sore
ly to have troubled the etymologists.
Two learned correspondents of Notes
and Queries, Mr. Wheatley tells US,
accounted for the word. One explain
ed it rs ito prime" as when one primes
a musket, from o. FIR. "amorce," pow
der for the touchhole (Cotgrave), and
the other by ito bite" Nat. "mordere') !;
hence ''to indulge in biting, singing
or gnawing thoughts of slaughter" On
the other side were those who said that
the word was q misprint for something
else THAT the word as q misprint
should have been printed and read by
millions for fifty years without being
challenged and altered exceeds the
bounds Of probability" exclaimed the
apologists for morse. But when the
manuscriptwase examined there nurse"
was the word, plainly written.-St
James Gazette.

Held Their Own,

A regiment of regulars was making
long, dusty march across the rolling
prairie land of Montana during a re-
cent summer. 1t was q hot, blistering
day, and the men, longing for water
and rest, were impatient to reach the
next town. A rancher rode past. "Say,
friend" called out one of the men,
show far is 1t to the next town. ooh,
a matter Of two miles or so, reckon"
called back the rancher. Another long
hour dragged by, and another rancher
was encountered. "How far to the
next town." the men asked him eager
ly. "Oh, good two miles" A weary
half hour longer of marching, and then
a third rancher Hey, how fairs the
next town." Not far" was the en-
couraging answer-"only about two
miles" "Well," sighed an optimistic
sergeant we're holdin' our own any

Open to Conviction.

No rock was ever more firmly fixed
than were Mrs. Manser's opinions, but
she considered herself of an extremely
pliable disposition, with a mind open
to conviction on all sides.
"Its the strangest thing to me, the
way the rest of the family talk as if
1 were set in my views" she said one
day to her nephew Williams bride,
with whom she had been laboring on
the subject Of calling cards for more
than an hour. at seems to me you're
sort of taking the same Tone" she con-
tinued, looking sharply at the young
woman, 'and 1 don't want you to.

the wrong than I am by people who

The Ship's Loo.

The ships log consists of a log chip
and log line. The log chip is a piece
of board, shaped like the fourth part
of a circle, loaded with lead on the
round side, so that it will stand up in
the water. The log line is $50 to 200
fathoms long. 1t is wound upon large
reel, So held as to let it run out easily.
The line is divided into equal parts by
bits of string run through it, each
marked by the number of knots in it;
hence these divisions are called knots.
The log chip when thrown into the wa
ter stands still and draws out the log
line as fast as it unwinds, and the
speed of the ship is shown by the num-
Der of knots that run out in half a min
ute. The usual length of knot is
47.3 feet. When it is known how many
Of these run out in half a minute, it is
easy to calculate how many would run
out In an hour by multiplying by 12O.
The record Of the heaving of the log,
as we'll as all important things happen
ing on shipboard, Is made in log
book.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Placing the Responsibility.

For six months or more the drug
gist's assistant had occupied his leisure
moments by writing verses for the vii
lage paper, in the poets corner" Of
which publication they appeared anony-
mously every Thursday, says the
Youths Companion. On opening his
copy of the Weekly Bugle one morning,
and, turning first, as was his regular
habit, to that particular corner, he was
surprised and gratified beyond meas
IRE to see his name in full appended to
his latest poetical outbreak.
He fastened to call at the office of
the Bugle.
Mr.. Stires," he said to the editor, 81

sponded the editor. I've thought it
was about time to place the RESPONSE
bility for that poetry where it be-
longed." O.

The Chatty ENGLISH.

Every Englishman likes to be alone
and have things to himself. If he can
not choose his company, he would rath-
er have none. Englishmen are proud
of the national idiosyncrasy, yet here
comes one who, knowing all this, pays
it no Difference, but sets the national
tradition at defiance and forces his in
trusive presence on you. Why does
this denationalized Englishman, when
he may be as solitary as you wish to
be yourself, not act as every true Eng
lishman ought and go into the next
carriage or take a seat at the other
side of the room as far away as he
can get from you? By all acknowl-
edged laws Of English intercourse he
ought as much to dislike being near
you as you dislike to be near him.

Queen Sophia and Bismarck.

Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, the
first wife of King William III. of Hol-
land, was too great a friend of EN-
peror Napoleon Ill, the Empress Eu-
genie and of France generally to take
kindly to Bismarck. Before the big
war of 1870 and probably some time
after the Luxembourg squabble there
was an international exhibition in Am
sterdam, which the queen visited. She
was conducted over the whole place by
the committee, and as they came to
certain section one Of the members
said, ''Now your majesty will see the
greatest enemy Of Germany" "Ah,
Bismarck" she cried, with some glee.
The members stood aghast and never
repeated this rash exclamation. The
greatest enemy" he had to exhibit
was not, of course, Bismarck at all,
but only very much enlarged repro
duction of either the phylloxera or the
Colorado beetle, which at that time did
a great deal of harm to German agri-
culture.-West Gazette.

A Slight Mistake.

Chitto Harjo was pleading in Wash

in nomad fashion, like their fathers.
They tell us to trust to fortune"
Chitto Harjo said, "and then we'll get
our rights. But we are tired of trust
ing to fortune Fortune has used US
Indians as it used the pale face in
structress at the Indian school in
1897"
Chitto Harjo smiled and went on:
.'"This instructress found horseshoe,
and to get good fortune put it under
her pillow, along with her false teeth.
In the morning in the hurry of dress
ing, she substituted the shoe for the
teeth and did not discover her mistake
till her afianced husband asked her in
tones of horror at breakfast what was
the matter with her mouth"

DON'T BORROW MEDICINE.
Physician Points Out the Grave Danger

mot in this neighborhood," said the
doctor. TT Is common thing for peo-
pie down here to lend medicine. They
do it. Of course, to help each other
along. So far as 1 know, no one has
paid the penalty of this neighborly
kindness with his life, but it is the
greatest wonder in the world that one
half the people in the neighborhood
hasn't poisoned the other half.
'.The first thing sick person does Is
to describe his symptoms to his friends.
He is pretty sure to find somebody in
the crowd who has been afflicted with
apparently the same ailment. Usually
the former patient has some of the
medicine left and straightway it Is
proffered as a possible cure.
"'You might just as we'll have it,
says the kindly nelghbor. 1T will be
pretty sure to help you and will save
doctors bills
"Of course it doesn't do anything of
the kind. Nine times out of ten the
stuff taken was prescribed for an en-
tirely different ailment and makes the
patient worse than he was in the begin
ming, but until the altruistic spirit re-
suits in some serious accident the prac-
tice is likely to continue. New York

When oreoon Was In the Balance,

There is no boundary in the world
of greater political Importance than
the forty-ninth parallel, which divides
Canada from the United States. When
this boundary was under discussion,
the Pacific coast was almost inaccessi-
Bile, and the ownership of Oregon, now
state Of vast wealth, with opulent
cities and a teeming population, was
in the balance. The matter was set
tied by the report of Captain Temple,
a brother Of Lord Palmerston, who
wrote to the admiralty "that the coun-
try was not worth q cuss because the
salmon would not take a fy."-Man-
