ten pronounced IL words right, ac-

Only one man in the Young Mems

'harass" with the accent on the first
syllable. He admitted that he was
perhaps right by accident. The nine
to-one argument of educated usage
indicated here has not prevailed with
the dictionary makers. 1t may catch
up yet. There is the hopeful instance
of "squalor'' and "squalid." OF these
two words the latter is arbitrarily
"squaw-lid." as pronounced, while in
the former the logical "squaw-lor" has
been recognized only in modern times
against the fixed ''squay-lor" of earlier
years.

MEANING OF SCARLET THREAD
Woven into British Naval Rope as
Positive Method of Identification
Of Royal Property.

Ever since the day of Nelson, pc
culiar custom has been observed in
the British navy. A scarlet thread is
woven into every one of the thou
sands of ropes used in the British ma
val service. This includes all ropes
from the smallest heaving line to the
largest hawser. Several romantic sug
gestions have been advanced as to
why the thread is woven into the
ropes, but the real reason is a simple
and practical one.
1t simply means a sure way of iden-
tifying royal property, and If any rope
with the red thread is found in unau-
thorized hands the presumption is
that 1t was improperly taken. 1t Is
forbidden that any rope manufactured
for private use contain the red thread,
in just the same way that in the Uni
ted States the manufacture Of paper
for private use containing pits Of silk
is forbidden. This paper in the Uni
ted States is used for currency pur-
poses only.

In answer to this question Uncle
Dick placed the paper in Harry's hand
and drew from his pocket an ordinary

place upon the dotted line and watch
the bird carefully. his nose just touch

Just then the card dropped and
Harry looked at the paper in amaze
ment. for there was the cage, the dot

Uncle Dick laughed at Harry's con-
fusion. then explained to him that it
was a sort of trick: that the bird did
not really go into the cage at all, yet
1t seemed so to him because 1t was a
proof of simple sight with both eyes,
