A Clear Case,


1t was a murky day. and the old sea
captains were talking Of schooner
which had been struck by lightning a
few days before and adding their con-
tributions to nautical fiction, thinly
disguised as fact. How about the
Emma S., Captain Eli?" asked the
privileged listener at last. wasn't
she struck once?"
'She was SIR" and Captain Eli fixed
his gaze on crack in the ceiling of
the old wharf office. "She was off the
eape-home'ar bound. she was.'
I'D like to hear the particulars"
said the young man, and all the cap
tains moved in their seats and fixed
their eyes on the crack which held the
gaze of Captain Eli.
"'Tisr't much to tell, only what
might happen to any vessel under SIM
liar circumstances" said Captain Eli.
"A bolt struck the deck amidships and
bore hole right down through the
bottom of the schooner big as a mans
leg. The water come rushing in, and
Of course the Emma S. would have
foundered if second bolt hadn't come
and struck my forto' galla'mast, cut 1t
off near the top. turned it end for end
and drove it right into the hole. plug
ging it up and making it water tight.

call the ravages and repairs of nature"

gaze from the crack and let it rest
thoughtfully on the ingenious face Of
the only landsman in the company

ORIGIN of Familiar Terms.

Much history is written in the ordi-
nary words of the language. "Tabby,"
for example. This very domestic-ap-
pearing word for the Arabian designa-
ton of a quarter of Bagdad famous
for its manufacture of divers cOlOred
silks and cottons-a quarter named
after Attab, the great-grandson Of
Omeyya. "Tabby" appears In Eng
fish literature In the first half Of the
seventeenth century as the general
term for striped taffeta silks. In the
same century ''tabby" is applied to
a striped or brindled cat. In the
eighteenth century. to an elderly
maiden lady" The sense development
of this word is In striking contrast
with that of another old Arab, tar
iff," which came in the sixteenth CEN
fury, meaning a multiplication Ia
ble," and has remained essentially
unchanged tc the present day.

AN EXCITING INCIDENT.

You can travel with perfect safety

Suddenly the old sheik reached from
the rack large melon he had placed

dagger, brought it into view. Lift

his fellow Moslem, he TRANQUILITY cut

me one and proceeded to eat the

Catching the Speakers Eve.

The practice of Catching the Speak
er's eye" dates back to the session Of
1910, when heated dispute arose be-
tween members of the house, several
of whom claimed precedence Of
speech. 1t was then decided that
whoever first caught the Speakers eye
should have the right to address the
house. This rule worked smoothly
until 1886, when Sir John Trevor was
elected to the chair The new Speak
er was afflicted with an abominable
squint, consequently two members
would often catch his eye simultane-
ously and decline to give way to one
another. To obviate this a further
rule was framed to the effect that the
Speaker should cal, by name upon the
member privileged to address the
Louise. So every holder of the office
has to possess good memory for
names as well as keen eyesight.

Tie Inevitable,

An old man who had lived all his
never seen railway, was persuaded
by his two sons to accompany them
on a trip to Sheffield. Arriving at
the station, the old man was terrified
at the sight of the train running into
the station and exclaimed: Let's go
back, lads, or something will happen. .
But his sons hustled him into a car
rage, where he sat looking terribly
upset, and muttering to himself
something will happen" The climax
was reached when the train dashed
into tunnel, the old man crying out,
Il knew something would happen. I'm
struck blind
