WORDS OUT OF JOINT.

Some Have Completely Changed la
Meaning Since First ussd.
The English language. above all 9TH
ers, II the most remarkable for the
number Of words that have been COM
pletely changed in their significance
since they first came into use. In
some cases their meaning has been ex-
actly reversed A conspicuous exam
pie of this Is the word 'let,' which
Shakespeare uses several times with
the meaning ITO hinder" says Har-
per's Weekly.
Hamlet exclaims, TIL make a ghost
Of him that lets meg' meaning. OF
course, him that stops me-"
The word Is used In the same sense
In the Bible, as In II Thessalonians ii.
Z, he who now letteth win let until
he be taken out OF the way
"Ravel" and 'unfavel" mean exactly
the same thing. though at one time
to unravel probably meant to reduce
confusion to order. Compare the words
valuable" and Invaluable"
Sometimes a comparatively short
time suff1ces to set word adrift from
its original and true meaning and to
cause people to forget what its real
significance Is This is illustrated in
ing glass which sets squarely down
upon the table without foot" as in
the case Of a goblet. What a ''tum-
bier" really is may be inferred from
an extract from a gentleman's diary
written In 1903, which also throws
light upon the social customs Of the
times. The entry is as follows:
"Had a few friends to dinner. Tried
my new tumbling glasses. Very sue
cessful. All got drunk early"
These tumbling glasses, soon called
"tumblers'' for short, were made with
a round or pointed bottom. SO that
they could not be set down when they
contained liquids without falling over
and splitting their contents. They were
made as a sort of joke to conduce to
rapid drinking.
But the name was applied to a glass
which had no foot. but was cut Off so
sQuarely across the bottom that it
stood firmly on the table. so that it
was really less liable to tumble than
an ordinary goblet A generation suf-
feed to see the change wrought in the
use of the word and the complete dis
appearance of the original signif1-
canoe.

- WAS sitting In my quarters one
evening after retreat when my
friend Charlie st. Clair came In
with a woebegone expression on
his face and. throwing himself into an
easy chair. heaved a deep sigh. Char
lie was one OF the handsomest men I
ever knew and withal the most lovable.
He and 1 had been classmates and
chums at West Point, had served to-
gether In the Spanish-Amertcan war
and were now stationed at the same
post.
Whats up, Charlie?' asked.

dents ride"

"I know I won't"
Charlie was lazy-lazy on drill, lazy
In quarters. lazy In social life, lazy ev-
erywhere except In battle. 1t required
fight to put energy into him, but 1t
did. His case always reminded me of
prominent Confederate general In
this-the general when an engagement
was coming on never could settle down
to the work before him without riding
out to the firing line. Then he would
ride back ready to listen to orders.
Charlie lost all his Incidence under the
rattle of rifles and the boom of big
guns, besides becoming brave as
Lion.
Il tell you what you do, Charlie"
suggested, put in all your time be-
tween now and the ride exercising
Get Off some Of your surplus flesh and

"Oh, I'm too big!'
That told the story exactly. He was
big man, and the accumulation of
inertia had got ahead of him. 1 per-
suaded him to let me train him, and 1
worked with him right up to the day
of the ride. But it was no USE
never could get him up in the morn
ing. He would eat anything he fancied.
In short, he wouldn't train. The con-
sequence was that when he started on
the ride he was sure to fail. My heart
sank when we left for the starting
point, but I encouraged him SO far as
possible. I was to take the ride my
self and hoped to stimulate him.

him through, but he shook his head

HEARTBEAT'S. ORIGIN.
The "Paeemaker" Small Mass of Pc
culiar Tissue.

nc fdCcfndHoT OF = q
culiar Tissue.
Professor Arthur Keith has been Civ
ing at the Royal College of Surgeons
demonstrations illustrating the re-
markable advances made lately in
knowledge of the functions and struc-
ture of the heart and the action of its
diseases. One of the most remarka BILE
Of the demonstrations is that of n
small mass of tissue, which has been
named the "pacemaker of the heart y
because it is apparently within this
small mass of peculiar tissue that the
beat of the heart has its origin. 1t
was only five years ago that the struc-
ture was first recognized by Professor
Keith and DR.. Martin Flack.
DIR. Thomas Lewis of University col
lege, using the latest methods Of cleo
trical investigation, found also that
the site of the new structure was the
point at which the heartbeat appears.
Although it is the chief center for the
activity and regulation of the heart,
there are apparently many secondary
centers which can take over the ini-
tiation of the heartbeat when the
chief one is destroyed by disease or
experiment.

In my card and was ushered into his

There sat Charlie in an easy chair,
surrounded by every luxury, putting a
fragrant cigar. His color was the
22O pounds. A white headed old lady
went out of the room as I entered it
and left us alone together.

Charlie reached out. pushed q button,

had been galloping over the country to
prevent being retired the big, good ma

Mrs. Edgerton had taken pity on
poor st. Clair from the day he had rid
den up to her house and had given him
both meat and drink. Every day after

gone, and the widow would say that
he was not yet recovered. Before he
was considered out OF danger he had

widow.

known all the unmarried officers of the

BertiIIon Measurements and 9th
er Modern Means of Com
batting Crime-Cele-
brated Cases.

The quiet man Of science was NJ. AL
phonse Bertillon, celebrated as the
founder of the Bertillon system.
NJ. Bertillon was born in Paris
In 1858. at which time his father was
chief of the bureau of statistics. Ber-
tillon pere was as well one of the fore
most anthropologists of France.
Measurement System.
The Bertillon system is based on the
metric system of weights and meas
ures. There are eleven measurements,
as follows:
First.-Height. Subject stands bare
footed against a measuring board, the
chin drawn in so the correct height
can be secured.
Second. ~ Outstretched arms. Sub
ject stands with arms outstretched
and legs as far apart as possible.
Third.-Trunk measurement. Sub
ject sits on a stool and his measure
ment is taken for his height seated.
Fourth.-Head length from root Of
nose to maximum point at back Of
head.
Fifth-Head width from maximum
points on either side of head.
Sixth.-Cheek width from cheek
nose.
Seventh.-Right ear.
Eighth.-Left middle finger.
Ninth.-Left little finger.
Tenth.-Left forearm.
Eleventh.-Left foot.
These are all bone measurements.
No subject is measured before ma
turity of twenty years of age. All
g. lie a.
of body, save in the case of the right
ear, this latter because all profile pic
lures of criminals are taken from the
right side. 1t is a curious fact with
people that the ear never changes
after twelve years of age
The portrait parle" system is new
importation from abroad, brought over
by Captain Faurot. 1t consists of a
study of facial and other peculiarities
of gait, speech, the shape of the head,
lips, cheeks, ears, chin, forehead, eyes
and eyebrows. marks, wrinkles and
lines of the face.
Police Museums.
Following observations in Europe,
Commissioner Waldo appointed a COM
mittee to establish a police museum
in New York. He had noticed that
most of the larger cities on the other
side had such institutions, and his idea
for one in New York has just been
carried out.
The museums exhibits include black
caps and nooses, "can openers" and
the latest in burglars jimmies The
''can opener" an enlarged edition of
the tool which is the standby of every
housewife, has been used with great
success lately in opening safes.
Besides the '.jimmies'' and 'scan
opener" there are all the other tools
burglars use In opening safes and
breaking into houses.
