Freaks of LANGUAGE,

A peculiar kind Of Numbering Rncwn
as folk etymology'' is responsible for
some OF the queerest freaks of Ian
guage. An easy example will make
this clear. Our American word GEAR
ryalP' for kind Of vehicle Is not q
compound of carry" and "ail," but 9
slight distortion OF the French "carri-
OLE" a dimiRutive car. The change
was made in obedience to the uni
versal tendency to assimilate the IN
known to the known, to make words
mean something by associating them
with others which they resemble In
sound. Often there is no chronological
relation between the words associated,
as when sparrowgrass Is made out of
asparagus. This particular corruption
was once in such good colloQuial use
that Walker. the photographer, wrote,
"Sparrowgrass is so general that as
paragus has an air Of stiffness and
pedantry."

Car Hoisted by Wrecker.-Local peo-

free attraction Of seeing a railroad
wrecl5er at work. but this time the ex-
hibition was without the usual accom-
paniment Of dead and injured, great
loss Of property and damage by fire.
Instead the apparatus upon which the
wrecker performed was a coal car, one
Of the trucks Of which had gone all to
pieces, leaving the heavy car, loaded
with coal, tipped up at one end and off
the track. The chance for the worth
of a wrecker to demonstrate itself
was a good one. And it did prove it.
In a very short time the broken down
end of the car had been encircled with
a wire cable, and, though there was
considerable wheeling and creaking,
the huge wrecker, crane and machine,
stood the heavy strain, and lifted the
greater part of the weight of the load
ed car we'll into the air. A gang of
men showed a new truck into place I'M
der the uplifted car-and all was over.
A crowd of about 200 people collected
around the wrecker, as the opportunity
to see the inside workings and actual
test of that wonderful machine, own
ed by the Rock Island road, was an
excellent one.

A CHILD GENIUS.

Ampere Dabbled In Mathematics at
the Age of Three.
Ampere, who left his name to the
science of electricity, was a child gen.
ius. At the age of three he had taught
himself to count with the aid OF peb-
bles and had found out for himself q
good many of the theories OF arith-
metic. At this age he became very ill
and was for three days denied food.
At the end of the fast he was given a
biscuit, but instead of eating It he
broke it up into pieces to count with,
an operation he considered more inter
esting.
He read everything with avidity
His mind did not run in one channel,
and he welcomed every volume that
came in his way. When he was ten or
twelve years old he went to a library
to ask for the works of a certain au-
thor The librarian told him in amuse-
ment that the books were In Latin.
The boy went home chagrined, for he
did not know Latin, being q stckly
child and held back from books as far
as possible, but after six weeks he ap-
peared again and told the librarian hs
had learned to read the books now.
Ampere Is one OF the few child prod
igies who seems to have been sickly.
He had fits from time to time, while
most child wonders appear to have
been physically normal in every re-
spect.-Exchange.

How to Make Better
Cough Syrup Than You
Gan Buy.

A fun pint OF cough syrup
enough to last a family a long
time-can be made by the REQ
ipe given below in i've minutes,
for only 81 cents. Simple as It
is, there is nothing better at
any price. 1t usually stops a
deep-seated cough in "a hours
and is a splendid household
remedy for whooping cough,
colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,
etc.
Take a pint of granulated
sugar. add one-half pint warm
water and stir about two min
utes. Put 21h ounces Pinex
in a pint bottle and fill up with
syrup. Take a teaspoonful ev-
cry one, two or three hours.
1t keeps perfectly and the taste
is pleasing.
The chemical elements OF
pine which are very healing to
membranes. are obtained in
high proportion in Pinex, the
most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white
pine extract. None of the
weaker pine preparations will
work with this recipe. Your
druggist has Pinex or can cas-
fly get IL for you.
Strained honey can be used
instead of the syrup, and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar
cough syrup.
