4e.nS Verbal Siips.


Without being q pedant d6e may
note many inaccuracies In the use Of
words In his own speech ands1n that
Of others. Perhaps excuse" Tor par
dom is the most common OF these, not
to consider mere malapropisnhs or
murders OF the kings English. ss'Anx-
1ous'' used where eager Is meant is
another frequent error. and more Of
ten secure" is spoken Incorrectly than
correctly. Ordinarily when procure
or get Is intended secure is said.
These instances do not come within
even the category OF distorted syn
onyms. They are simply words mis-
applied. OF practically synonymous
terms which have different shades of
meaning the misuses Of ordinary con-
versation and Of writing are innu-
merable. But to find fault with most
of these latter wants OF precision
would be priggish. 1t is q profitable
mental exercise to study at times a
book Of synonyms or thesaurus. The
book stores and libraries will be glad.
besides, to guide the wayfarer to many
books of verbal purities. Kansas City

Nerves. of Genius.


Many Of the men whose names We
revere today in science, art, literature
and poetry suffered from emotional
disturbances, resulting in nerve storms
or outbursts of mental violence, which
can only be described as superacute
mania. The poet Cowper had strong
suicidal tendencies, yet he wrote John
Gilpin' when suffering from intense
melancholia. Shelley had an insane
ancestry, and at Elton he was called
mad Shelley" Charles Lamb had to-
lie placed In an asylum, and his s:ste:.
Mary stabbed her mother to the heart
while insane. Wordsworth and his
sister Dorothy are almost a parallel to
Charles and Mary Lamb. At the age
OF thirty Coleridge was broken down.
and he died a wreck at sixty-two.
Southey came of an insane stock. The
mother Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
the dramatist, died demented at forty
two. Pope was deformed and rickety.
and Keats was homeopathic to his fin
ger tips. Byron's mother was unbal-
anced, and so was his maternal grand
father.-London Globe.

Gsoaraphicai Puzzles.

'There are lots OF puzzles n geoe.

''Why. for instance, has the northern
part of most countries got a reputa-
ton for being harder headed and more
businesslike than the south? The
Scotsman and the Yorkshireman we
know. France has their counterpart in
the Norman. who Is distinguished for
his phlegm, his energy and his bust
ness qualities, and rather pities the
lazier and more hot headed south.
Similarly the Prussian is the Scots
man Of Germany. Northern Italy is a
hive OF industry, and the man from
Milan regards his .compatriot from
Naples as lazy and fractions child
And it always is really 80, but why?

Value of Deep Breathino,

Value OF Deep Breathing.
Writing on the cultivation of phys
zeal fitness in the Herald Of the Golden
Age, Eustace Miles says that those
who have mastered the art Of deep
and full breathing are thereby enabled
to master their emotions-they can
overcome pain and secure control Of
the mind and Of the circulation Of the
blood. The control of the breathing
prevents one from becoming hurried
and furried, and one acts leisurely.
although not lazily. Breathing can be
adapted to various needs-for instance,
In producing warmth or the opposite
effect-or one can breathe in order to-
become more sensitive. In fact, the all
round value Of deep and full breath
ing cannot be overestimated. OF all
physical practices this is the first and
foremost and one that can be reeu-
lated without being in the least con-
spicuous. If you have learned how to
breathe deeply and fully people may
not suspect it-they only notice that
you are calm, poised and good tenn
pered.

MADISON EVOLVES new IDEA

ment.
The freshmen were first put
through a calisthenic drill and were
then lined up and allowed to punt
back and forth. Nine footballs were
used and the supply was short at
that -"
~"They seem to find the greatest en-
joyment in kicking the ball." said DR..
MeanweI. Make them kick indoors
and you'll find them doing it in a
mechanical fashion lacking interest of

games and sports and not calisthenics
are the real developmental forces for
the body and bear out my theory that
games should be conducted out of
doors as many days in the year as the
weather permits"

Snakes Method of Attack.

{ No snake is able to jump or spring
from a coil in order to strike, as often
represented in pictures. It can only
strike when it resembles the letter S
and is lying fat on the ground. 1t can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight
The two curves in the figure s supply
this distance, which is about half the
length Of the body. No snake Jumps
through the air to it's victim or springs
clear from the ground, rising upon its
tail. Such stories and pictures are all
false. Neither do they coil like rope
and strike from that position. They
may coil partially, but the part Of the
body that does the striking is ever and
only that part which makes the figure
S and lies fat on the ground; hence nc
serpent can strike when stretched out
it's full length. =:

He Had Told Il

Next to Joseph Chamberlain, Biz,
mingham honors no citizen more than
Jesse Ceilings. In politics and friend
ship Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Col
lings have been 1nseparable for many
years. They even shared their plat
form anecdotes, and In regard to one
story they arranged that when both
were taking part in a meeting the first
speaker was entitled to its use.
It so happened that Mr.. Ceilings ar
rived late at meeting one night, but
was due to speak before Mr.. Cham
.berlain. As he was launching ont into
the story he felt his coattail pulled,
and a voice behind him whispered,

A Death Feianina Plant.

That certain insects, birds, mammals
and reptiles habitually pretend to be
dead when danger threatens them is a
well known fact, but it is generally be-
Heved that this stratagem is resorted
TO only by animals. In South America,
however, there Is plant-a species of
mimosa-wh1ch resorts to death feign-
ing, evidently for the purpose of pre-
venting the grass eating animals from
eating it. In its natural state this
plant has a vivid green hue, but di-
rect1y it is touched by a human finger
or by any living animal it collapses
into a tangle OF apparently dead and
withered stems.

Reasons For Pride.

There was present at certain big
dinner In England many years ago MD,
American woman of prominence whNs
was somewhat annoyed by a tactless
Englishwoman who undertook to bar
ter her and who said:
Il take it for granted that you have.
no coats Of arms in your new coun-
try" ~.
"Of course no American family couldt
have one unless it was borrowed from
English ancestry" replied the former
American. ,4.s<sz ~. .---'-- -- l.
. "For instance has your family an"
especial cause for pride over your
grandfather persisted this particu-
larly tactless, female cad. - p
Then the American woman opened!
up and replied as calmly as possible
under the circumstances, "Not much
perhaps, only that my grandfather on
my mothers side received Burgoyne's
sword when he surrendered at Sara

Lamb and His Snuffbox.

Hone, II was walking on Hampstead

tempt of our slavery to the habit of
snuff taking, and with the firm resolu'
tion Of never again taking a single
pinch we threw our stuffboxes away
from the hill on which we stood far
among the furze and brambles below
and went home in triumph. I began
to be very miserable; was wretched all
night. In the morning I was walking
on the same hill. l saw Charles Lamb

creatures except cats had souls and
that that animal lost its soul through
a bargain made between a bridge
architect and the devil. The archi-
tect had besought the devil to get help
In constructing an exceedingly dan
gerous bridge structure, and his sa7
tanic majesty only consented to lend
aid on condition that the first creature
to cross 1t should lose its SOUL This
was agreed upon. the bridge finished
in due time and the devil sent to the
opposite side to await his prey. The
shrewd architect took good care to
send cat over before any human be-
ing was allowed to cross. On learning
of the bargain the cat recrossed the
bridge and scratched the architects
eyes out,
