Tariff on Trite Words.

The range for such a tariff schedule
on literary pretentiousness in words
and phrases is indeed broad. It's pos
sibilities touch more than the mere
matter of length. Trite and hack
neyed words and phrases should GER
tainly not be on the free list, and more
stringent regulation than mere taxa
ton would be advisable in some
cases. The journalist who describes
a person as clear-cut, strenuous, tenn
peramental or well groomed, might be
given a few days in a cell to ponder
on possible synonyms, and the same
rule would apply to critics who find
indispensable such words as signif-
cant, suggestive, gripping, artistry,
obsession and the indefinite some
thing. Nor would the political orator
be allowed to point with pride or view
with alarm. In extreme cases, as
where any one used such words as
virile, enthuse, humans or quite some,
hard labor or solitary confinement
would be the only possible verdict

POI EATING AS A FINE ART
Novice Can Never Hope to Do II Like
the Native Hawaiian, It Is
Asserted.

Poi is the national dish of the Ha-
waiians, and a poi supper is an event
long to be remembered by foreigners
admitted to participation therein. Poi
is made from taro, a big. coarse, dark
skinned vegetable, grown under water,
the size and shape of a large sweet po-
tato. The taro is pounded until it be-
comes a coarse, moist mass, and Is
then left to ferment.
When poi Is served each guest
bathes and dries the right hand, and
then proceeds to dip the index finger
of that hand into the mass. There Is
quite a knack in the operation, and it
is always necessary to instruct the
novice that there is absolutely no
need for one to move his arm, but SIM
ply the wrist.
One removes his finger at the same
time that his neighbor does. On the
finger of the skillful operator there
will be a pear-shaped ball of poi, but
the clumsy ones fingers will simply
be thinly veneered with the substance.
Then, if the stranger ask what was the
matter with his movement, he will be
told that he held his finger too
straight. He must crook it a little, and
turn his hand, not too fast, with a
wrist movement only Harper's

There Are Wars and Wars.

AS one glances over the pages or
history, one finds vars, it is true,
which are blots upon the records OF
man,; but one also finds war; without
which the world would have been in
comparably the poorer that we could
never have done without them. And
one also perceives to his astonish-
ment if he is a practical man." that
the wars which have been gigantic
blunders and crimes have all been
wars for the attainment of practical
ends, like territory, or markets, or
wealth, while the wars which the
world could not have done without
have all been wars for abstract prln-
ciples, for beliefs, for religions, for
mad dreams and seemingly impossible
hopes. The world could well spare the
conquests of Napoleon, because the
wars were merely for Napoleon; but
the world could not spare the martial
conflicts surrounding and realizing the
French revolution, because it was a
war for those abstract and sensible
a~bsurdities, liberty, equality and fra
ternity. We could we'll spare the
Mexican war;, which was "a fight for
territory, but we could not at all get
along without the Civil war, which
was a war for mantle Atlantic.

No Grammar for Her.

In a Fort Scott school the teachers
gave orders for all pupils to buy a GER
tain kind of grammar, and bring the
book to the class the next day. When
school started one little girl walked to-
the front of the room and carefully
laid a note on the teachers desk. She
picked it up, rather surprised, but she
was more surprised when she read the
following note: II do not desire that
Matte shall ingage in grammar, as |
prefer her to ingage in more useful
studies, and can learn her speak and
write proper myself. / have been
through two grammars, and can't say

HAD SOMETHING TO LEARN
Young BInks Knew Much, But He
Found That His knowledge Could
Have an Addition.

Young Cicero Binks was an erudite
youth, and a regular demon for knowl.
edge forsooth. At his studies he
"swotted" to tell you the truth, for
eight or ten hours every day. To give
you some little idea of his worth, he
knew to a fraction the age of the earth,
the actual weight of the loon and its
girth, and how far all the stars were
away.
He could tell you the reason why
eggs are not meat, why toadstools
and hedgehogs are not good to eat,
also why there can be cold
without heat, and why bumblebees
don't make honey. He could analyze
whisky and black currant tart, and
repeat Shakespeare's plays If you
gave him a start. In fact, he was
crammed full Of science and art.
knowing even why Robey is funny.
"One can ne'er learn too much"
with q smile he would say. But he
altered is mind, overhearing one
day two friends, who imagined him
out of the way, stating facts new to
Binks without doubt.
What an ugly old beggar that

the knowledge Binks learned by the
time they had done, he'd have been
much more happy without.-Cleveland

HUMoR OF CHILDISH MIND
Grown-Up Observer VIII Constantly
Find Something That Will Cause
Him to Smile.

One of the most embarrassing situa.
tions in which l was ever placed raj
caused by a niece of mine, whose father
was a clergyman and whom l took to
church for the first time. She did not
in the least know what her father did,
and for a long time did not observe
him. But, after sitting quietly beside
me for some time, hardly daring to
raise her eyes, because / told her she
must be quiet or she would not go
church again. she suddenly, in the
middle of the sermon. looked up and
saw him, and screamed: "Auntie, look,
there's daddy up there. And what
ever is he yelling about?"
Which reminds me Of two little
nephews of mine who were taken to a
churchyard by a very old and pious
aunt. She, thinking to impress the sur
%roundings on them, said: you know,
Jack and Fred, it is only the body that
lies here. Now. what part of him goes
to heaven?" His head, l suppose"
There are probably many mothers
who have had cause to smile at the
quaint additions which their children
at times have made to their prayers.
A little girl friend of mine was once
taken to a ventriloquist entertainment,
which impressed her very much. While
saying her prayers that night she
asked God to look after all her broth
ers and sisters and make her a good
girl. Then there was a pause, and

Indian Relic Found at Lake Wesser-
runsett

An Indian tomahawk or grooyed
stone axe was found along the shore
of Lake Wesserrunsett at East Madi-
son recently by Poul Tooker of West
field, N. j., who with Mrs. Tooker was
visiting the lat:er's sister Mrs. Glenn
Harvell
The specimen is an unusually fine
one. 1t is seven and three quarters
inches long by nearly five inches wide
and weighs several pounds. 1t is
grooved all the way around for the
attachment Of wooden handle which
was secured by rawhide thongs. The
edge of the blade has been polished
or ground smooth and comparatively
sharp. From its large size 1t Is like
ly that the axe was not carried about
by the Indians on their hunting or
foraging expeditions but was used as
a camp axe, and its discovery in stu
indicates the site of primitive camp
or clearing. Mr.. Tooker has found
hundreds of specimens in the Della
ware and Lehigh river valleys, but in
collection of seares of stone axes
has only a few. as large as the one
found at Lake Wesserrunsett
