Thu American Baby.

The American baby has a fine,
strong ancestry. The young men OF
England who were impatient Of reli-
gious restraint and Of physical oppres-
sion; the young men of Germany
touched with the dream Of democracy;
the pick Of northern Europe, the
strong, the fair. the self reliant, the
conscientious English at bottom, but
with a dash Of the best blood Of other
races-this IS the American baby, and
no king and no lord ever had better
heritage. Take it as 1t goes, in Mas
sachusetts. IN Ohio. in Michigan, In
Washington. in California, the average
American baby has in its veins more
Of the blood Of the Plantagenets than
any king now living has: 1t was his
fortune to have come from the daugh-
ter lines and the lines of the younger
sons, not from the elder son, whom
British custom has marked for the
aristocrat.-David Starr Jordan.

"Thrse Sheets In the Wind"

"What was the origin Of the phrase
for drunkenness, three sheets in the
windY" landsman asked a sailor the
other day. "Well," said the sailor,
"1ll explain that matter to you. The
two lower corners Of ships sail are
held taut by two ropes, one called a
tack and another called sheet. The
tack is always kept very tight, but
the sheet is loosened according to the
wind, and the looser the sheet is the
more freely the sail swings. If the
sail is quite free its sheet is said to
be in the wind Now. suppose that
all three Of ships sails were quite
flee. They would then fly about very
crafty, and the ship would wabble.
The course Of the ship would be zig
rag one, and the reason for this would
be that she had three sheets in the
wind That, I guess, is why a man
when he zigzags in his course is said
to be three sheets in the wind ALSO"
