ending the bill to require foreign born

This would make but slight changes
in the salaries now paid Wayne coun-
ty officials. The principal change
would effect the county commission
ers. Their salaries would be exactly
$500 per year. The clerk now is paid
$500, the auditor $4,000. the sheriff
$4,000 and the recorder $4,000 and 80
per cent of all fees collected in excess
of $4,000. This usually amounts to
$500 or $500 per year. No change at
all is provided for the sheriff.

Odd L Language.

A Frankfort produce dealer who
drives about in his wagon went to q
certain house the other day and was
selling eggs and vegetables.
Can you spare me an extra pound
of butter this week?' asked the house
keeper.
Nome, 1 can't" replied the dealer.
'T could have spore you a pound yes
terday, but not today"
This reminded a man in the crowd
of what his little girl had said about
some candy which was given her by
an uncle and showed that the produce
dealer is not the only coiner Of words.
The child's mother said to heE:
Louise, go crack that stick OF candy
and bring some of it in here"
ITS already croke," replied the
yourgster and by this disprCved the
theory that all children speal correct
ly if they hear correct language

when it was not even safe for his wife

was known to have nearly killed a

Queer Bedsteads in 8agdad.

Foreign bedsteads made their ap-
pearance in Bagdad some eighty years
ago, when British merchants first
came to enter into the commerce Of
these regions, says a consular report.
At thai time the beds were not intro
duced TO be sold, but were brought by
these pioneer traders to add to their
own comforts, of which Bagdad could
at that time offer but few. The only
bed then known to the natives was a
queer rectangular structure, which con-
tinues TO be largely used. 1t resembles
a birdcage with the top off and is
very cheap, being built Of the dry
branches of the date palm. 1t has an
opening on one side, into which per-
son seats himself; then, throwing the
feet up, he turns until the body is prop.
erly inside 1t is estimated that 20 per
cent of Bagdad's population, which Is
believed to be 100000 souls. employs
this style of furniture.

The Word "Divan."

The word "divan" means council
Of state" in Arabic and Turkish. Both
Milton and Pope use the word in the
sense Of council in general. From
meaning council the word came to
mean council chamber and from that
chamber. i divan in this sense is
strictly row of cushions ranged along
the walls of a room, either on the floor
or on raised step or on bench:
hence we speak Of a sofa or couch as
a divan and Of a thickly cushioned
chair as a divan chair The same idea
Is found in "cigar divan"
