Almost a Miracle.

A good hearted curate who firmly
believed that God was continually
working miracles to enable him to help
the needy and who seldom had a coin
in his pocket, though he was never de-
void OF the fire OF charity in his heart,
was accosted one day by beggar wo-
man. He pleaded utter lack of money
and sadly turned aside. but on the
mendicant beseeching him to search
his pockets he hopelessly put his hand
In one and. to his amaZement and joy.

claimed, and then, addressing the wo-
man: This coin belongs to you of

his worldly minded vicar and suggest

their knees and render thanks to God,
a strange unpleasant light suddenly

TO the Bitter End"

One Of the most interesting phases OF
the study Of language is the peculiar
manner in which words and phrases
originating In mistakes finally grow
into the common speech of the people
An instance of this is the expression
ito the bitter end" which is common
~ used to denote the final extremity
of a crisis. Although perfectly proper
today, it is in reality mistake. The
correct phrase is ito the better end"
and arose from the fact that when a
vessel has paid out all her cable in a
storm it has run out to the end which
has been little used and therefore to
the better end. Daniel Defoe uses the
proper phrase in Robinson Crusoe' In
his description of the storm at Var
mouth when he says. I'VE rode with
two anchors ahead and the cables veer-
ed out to the better end"

nDucka and Drakes.u

The origin of the common saying
Making ducks and brakes with one q
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 it sinke." IL
the stone energies once, it is a duck;
if it energies more than once. the game
proceeds according to the following
rhyme:
1. Q A duck and a drake;
g. And a halfpenny cake
4, And a penny to pay the old baker;
8. A hop an Il scotch
Is another notch;
6, Slitherum, slatherum! Take her,
The game is evidently the same as
that played even today by every boy
who has access to a 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 meta
phorical one to indicate heedlessness in
the use Of money.
