Slanc cf Other Days,

Slang has always been fruitful source for the expansion of language, and instances may be multiplied of words now respectable which were once tabooed as vulgarisms. But. on the other hand. there have been many slang phrases in use for centuries which have never become acceptable to the purists. As long ago as 1750 the celebrated letter writer Horace Wal pole used to speak of sitting guzzling' and getting drunk as an owl.' Then again in the diary of one of the most prominent woman writers of the eight eenth century. Frances Burney, are found good slang phrases of the Amer ican college girl of today, as. for in- stance, I sneaked out Did you ever know such a toad:" and 'T had a vile cold."-St. Louis Republic.

The Earliest Anchors.

The earliest cnchors of which we have any record were of wood. ard gradually. through the iron anchor of one hooh and the anchor ill the share or rake, there was evolved the an chor with the straight thick shank. the two curving arms with fattened extemities and the long cross stock. The process of storing one of these old anchors was long and laborious one. It was hove close up 10 the capstan or windlssS: a man was let down by rope to hook on huge tackle. by which the anchor was then hoisteG, still perpendicular. to stout project ing timber. Then the lower end had to be hoisted up horizontally by an other tackle and the whole made fast. In the modern stockless anchor chain Is attached to 1t at the balancing point, and this is passed through a pulley at the head of the anchor davit. When the anchor is high enough. davit and all swing round until the anchor Is over the billboard. where 1t rests and Is secured by chains-Londop Globe

Elephant Life In the lunules.

Without elephants iungles would be virtually impossible. The great beasts are mixture of strength and weak ness, of craft and simplicity The paths through the jungle from village to village are merely tracks from which the interlacing foliage has been cut and thrust aside and the virgin soil trodden into black mud. After rain this mud is many feet deep, and no living creature except an elephant, a buffalo or !: rhinoceros could labor through it. The elephant makes his way by lifting one foot at time and inserting it deep into the slough in front. withdrawing another with q sound like the popping of a huge cork Nothing but ride on an earthquake e could be compared with the sensation of being run away with by an ele- phant. As for stopping him. some one has we'll said tE~t you might as we'll try to stop a runaway locomotive by pulling with your walking stick on the funnel as seek to check an elephant at such a moment with goad.

The G.er7deA Etese.

We are so CSed stnsaft~kt6E of the so2s as mere mineral .lr:S>tfes That it comes quite as shock to find this is a mis- take. As matter of fact. the layer of soft mold which clothes the ground in all cultivable districts and from which vegetation springs is actually in great part living layer of tiny plants and animals. lnterlacing threads of molds and fungi. worms and grubs, creeping insects. tiny root parasites, decaying leaves and the millions of bacteria which spring from them-all these are mixed and mingled together for many inches down below our feet in con- fused mass of life. Germs of all sorts swarm in countless millions. Indeed, all the plants that grow and life that exists on the face of the earth owe their being to the fact that the ground is alive. You take q shoyelful of the finest soil in the world and steriliZe it-that is. beat it till all the life in it is destroyed then plant seeds in it. No amount of care or watering will make those seeds grow Their life de- pends on the life in the soil around them.-London Answers.

Working In Steel Masks.

The workman wore a steel mask with. glazed eyeholee, rubber suit rubber gloves and rubber boots, and he carried pair of tongs of silvery alu minium.
 "1n certain departments of the plant" said the dynamite manufac- turer. "all our workmen are dressed like that. They must be. Otherwise they would be smeared with chemicals and splashed with acids that would eat their flesh like liquid fire"
 But the aluminium tongsT
 'They are for lifting the gun cotton out of it's nitric acid bath Aluminium is the only metal upon which the nitric acid has no effeet.''

 "Everything all right. Georger' he said.

Ryperbole.

A Rochester clergyman was accus- toned to use scientific terms. which the people did not understand. A deputa- ton waited on him with the request that in the future whenever he used such terms he would explain them. On the following Sunday he used the term hypcrbole and added: AS agreed on. I beg to explain this word. Were to say that at this moment the whole of my congregation are sound asleep 1t would be hyperbole. but if l say that one-half arc asleep that is no hyper bo!e. but the truth" The next day the deputation again called to say that the minister need not explain technical terms. The people would learn their meaning from a dictionary.-Roches Herald.

At His Word.

Many postoffice names are queer enough to make one desire an explana- ton of them. Sometimes the explana- ton is queerer than the name itself. A minister in Cass county wrote to Washington in behalf of the residents of growing hamlet, asking that a postoffice be added to its institutions. The request was favorably received. and he was asked to suggest a name that would be acceptable to his neigh bors. He replied that they were not hard to please so long as the name was peculiar. The postofflce department took him at his word, and Peculiar Is the name of the office to this day. Kansas City Star

PULLMANS MAY
 LEAVE TEXAS
w, E. Green Points Out Possible Re- suit of Company Needs
 No Permit.

.> Fort Worth, Tex, Sept, 2S.-'l should not be surprised,' said w. [E. Green, vice president and general manager of the Trinity and Brazos Valley, and one of the best known railroad officials in the state, If the Pullman car company will de- |cide to withdraw its cars and equip ment from the state as a result of the custer suit filed Tuesday by the attorney general.
 MT. Green points to the fact that few months ago, when reduction of sleeping car charges was imminent the Pullman company was on the point of retiring from the Texas field. Now that the attorney gen. eral has filed suits for penalties and asks an order to apply for permit to transact business in Texas, it is nossible that the company will de- eide to withdraw from the state.
