Really Remarkable Slips Of the Tongue

A "Spoonerism" is the name given
in England to one of those involun-

instance, when the returned traveller
tells Of rambling up the scalps"

that he means rambling up the
Alps" but has simply perpetrated a

of New college, Oxford, who
achieved a long and exhilarating list
Of these slips.
Some Of the more famous "Spoon-

a narrative Of a returning vicar who,
on reaching the station left his ssrags

REAL MASTER CT LANGUAGES

Sixty years ago there appeared in
the newspapers notice of the disso-
luton Of a scholastic partnership in
the neighborhood of London, which
was signed by one of the teachers of
youth with his mark.
Disclosures of this sort do not
often hit one in the face nowadays !;
but a northern schoolmaster came
near to falling victim to effrontery
Of a somewhat similar character the
other day.
Being in urgent need of tutor,
he opened up negotiations with a
"master of languages" whose inval-
liable services were on offer in the
columns of a London newspaper.
Could he speak French? the
schoolmaster demanded of this par
agon. Oh, yes, Auently. Had he a
nodding acquaintance with Italiana
Indeed, he had-was excellently well
versed in it, in fact.

SAVED WHEN HOPE WAS LOST
Woman Little Likely Ever to Forget
Her Terrible Experience in
ShipWreck.

A woman recently had remark
able, almost miraculous escape from
death in a shipwreck. The wrecked
ship was the Norwegian steamer Vi
vienne, whose passengers and crew
with the exception of one of the
ships boys, who was drowned-were
landed at Cardiff, Wales, by the
steamer Glenelg, which had been
in collision with the Vivienne off the
Lizard. AS the vessel sank, Mrs.
Jorgensen, a passenger, in her night
attire, was on the top of the wheel
house, and, believing hope was at an
end, had raised her hands in prayer,
when rope flung from the Glenelg
fell into them. A moment later the
water rose to her waist, but clutch
ing the rope tightly she felt herself
being drawn up the sides of the
Glenelg. Suddenly the rope stopped
and for five terrible minutes she
swung over the waters, but eventu-
ally was safely drawn on board. The
Chinese composing the Glcnelgs
crew had been too weak to pull her
aboard.

that one side was smooth, soft and
glossy, while the other was soft and
cottony. Her mother explained to
her that there were generally two
sides to thing. Shortly after this
Elsie, while out walking with her
mother one clear night, looked up

eight little cradles or cots in each

OF babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available

also receive the attention OF trained

was turned on and allowed TO stream
down over the canvas by evapora-
tion Il greatly reduced the tempera-

tents were also kept cool by the use
Of large blocks OF ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents

babies are being cared for. but the
