POPULAR PHASES.
Some Familiar Lines That Are Corr
stantIy Misquoted.

Some Familiar Lines That Are Cor"
stantIy Misguided.
Critics who assert that we get
more slovenly and careless every day
in speech, manners and customs
have proof of part of their assertion
at any rate in the manner in which
the writings of famous authors are
continually being misquoted and
distorted. In Coleridge's "Ancient
Mariner" are these words: ''Water,
water everywhere, nor any drop to
drink" Ninety-nine people in a
hundred say "and not a drop to
drink for the last line.
Again, how often we hear people
sing, "Rule, Britannia, Britannia
rules Gnstead Of rule) the waves"
and quote Macbeth as saying,
"Screw your courage to the sticking
point" instead Of Sticking place. "
Those two familiar lines of Samuel
Buffers, "He that complies against
his will is of his own opinion still, !"
are usually misquoted as, Convince
man against his will, he's Of the
same opinion STILL"
Shakespeare never wrote cts an
i'll wind that blows nobody good"
although this is the version general
ly given Of the correct words from
"Henry w." which run, ''Ill blows
the wind that profits nobody" Ma
thaniel Lee is similarly treated in
regard to his phrase, "When Greeks
joined Greeks then was the tug of
war" which more often than not is
misquoted as, "When Greek meets
Greek then comes the tug of war"
Money is the root of all evil' is
travesty of the line from the first
Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy,
"The love of money is the root of
all evil" Another Scri plural pas
sage which is often incorrectly
quoted is the sentence from Prov
erbs, "Pride goeth before destruc-
ton and an naughty spirit before
fall" The popular version is,
"Pride goes before a fall"
That fine phrase from Wolfe's
poem, '"The Burial of Sir John
Moore" which runs, ''But we left
him alone with his glory" is very
badly treated by people who say,
"Alone in his glory" while the cor
rect words, as written by Longfel-
low, of the phrase SO often used,
Cali things come to him who waits"
are, Cali things come around to
him who will but wait" -London

Doubtless every one has observed

As the wind subsidies you would expect
to find it easier to tell the direction by
the slower revolution; but, as matter
of fact, the difficulty is increased.
With the varying speed your first i'm

that idea, and the longer you gaze the

Nicholas l., car Of Russia, was the
type Of an absolute aristocrat. The
succession Of terrible wars which
clouded his reign did not tend to soften
his disposition or to render him less
imperious. But, rough and harsh q
he was, Nicholas had a measure Of
chivalry In his disposition. He would
not tolerate under any circumstances
an insult offered to woman. As the
car was driving through the streets
OF st. Petersburg he caught sight Of
an Officer Of his household in the act
Of upsetting an old 6eggar woman
whose hands we're raised in q prayer
for aims. The official was quite IN
mindful OF the august witness Of his
act and was rather pleased when, q
few hours later. he was summoned to
the imperial presence. Nicholas soon
undeceived him and in the presence Of
a dozen courtiers cut him to the quick
with his indignant reproof.
Enough" said Nicholas finally.
