Spanish

One Of the peculiar ways in which
Spanish differs from English Is In the
am the language gives to all people
with q certain inffr1nity or popularity.
A blind man Is referred to as el ciego.
a man with but one eye is a tuertO. a
pug nosed mar is chato, one who Is
cross eyed is a bisojo. a COLO is q lame
man. and a nance has but me arm.
IL he is humpbacked he Is a jorubado.
If baldheaded a calyo, and if his hair
is very short be is a pelon. The femt-
nine titles for the same classes are the
same. with the exception that they end
in "a" where the masculine terminate
with 20" These short James are used
most commonly. In fact, they are ap-
piled as nicknames in many cases. and
especially among the lower classes per-
sors are addressed or referred to only
by these names.

HUMAN INSTINCT.
More Potent at Times Than Reason In

More Potent at Times Than Reason In
Directing Our Actions.
That even in man instinct is some
times stronger than reason is illustrat-
ed by these two asses:
There had been shipped on a Missis-
sippi river steamboat Il box with a
glass cover. containing a very active
rattlesnake. Whenever any one ap-
preached the box the serpent would
strike the cover. The owner of the rep
tile challenged any one to hold his fin
ger on the glass and let the rattler
strike at it. There was no danger, and
it seemed an easy thing to do. First
one and then another tried it. but when
the snake gave its vicious spring the
finger was invariably drawn back with
q jerk. Instinct was stronger than rea-
son and will combined.
A young man in Paris had lost his
last sou at the gambling table. Not
only was he without means. but he had
lost a large sum belonging to his m
ployer. He started for the Seine with
the intention Of drowning himself. On
the way there was a great commotion.
caused by the escape OF a lion from a
strolling m%enagerie. The animal came
galloping down the street. and people
fed in every direction.
Instantly the man who was seeking
death climbed a lamp post and chung tc
the top of it. trembling In every limb
| When the animal was captured and the
danger was over he proceeded to the
river and plunged in.-Washington

even among the authorities ON garden
ing subjects. But the fact Is that It has
yeached mighty elastic limits in their
writings and speech and can be taken
to anything from the enormous
private parks and estates to the tin can

THE word garden is from the old
Angio-Saxon root "gyrden." meaning
IN inclosure. At that time, due to the
uncertain character Of community life,
it was either inclosed within fortifca-
tons or left unprotected and exposed
without. This private Enclosed land
vas the garden Of that time. That Is
the meaning Of garden in the Song OF
Solomon.
Gradually the sense of the word has
changed to cover those parts OF the

Europe's Diamond Industry.

Years ago Amsterdam was at the
head Of the diamond industry in Eu-
rope. OF late Antwerp has forged
ahead and taken first place. Amster-
dam very largely specializes in small
stones, and its superiority over Ant.
werp in cutting these diamonds is
unquestioned. Antwerp. on the other
hand, cuts large diamonds and small
n according to what happens to be
most in demand. 1t works on the
larger Transvaal stones furnished by
the London syndicate, and at the same
time it monopolizes the small south
west African business.

HEAVY LOSSES
 VIOLENT ATTACKS
Characterize Fighting Between Germans and Allies Lines in
 The North.

United Press Dispatch.
 Paris, Oct. 23.- The war of- flee has announced that gaps in the Allied lines of the North are being closed and that the Ger mans continue their violent at tacks with the result that gains and losses alternate. Despite the severity of the fighting the Allied lines are maintaining their general line.
 The Germans greatest activi- ty is in the vicinity of Arras, where they have made a terrific assault upon the Allied lines.
 The war office said that enor- nous losses were suffered by both sides along the entire line, owing to the flat country.
 The Germans are reported to have withdrawn and advanced their line eastward from Maria kerke and Middlekerke as re- suit of the fire of the British Monitors and have entrenched themselves east of the main highway between Ostend and Nieuport.
 They have also fortified the Wilskerke and Throrout line. The new German headquarters of the North are reported to be at Chistelles.
 It is reported to General Gal lienni that violent fighting con- tinues, the Germans continuing their efforts to penetrate the Lille and Newport lines, but failing.
 They are also shelling the Verdun Foul line of forts. Lille has been partially burned and fierce hand to hand fighting oc- cured there, but the Allies were finally forced to withdraw.

ARMING OUR
 EASTERN ISLANDS
Philippine Islands Are Being Rapidly Armed And PrOvis- toned by The War De-

United Press Dispatch.


 Washington, D. C., Oct. 23. = The war department officials, though claiming that the East ern situation is not causing ex- citement, have admitted that fthe Philippines are being arm- ed and provisioned rapidly.
 Strife in the Eastern ports and waters is assigned partly as the reason as we'll as complica- tions resulting from the har- boring of unneutral vessels in the Philippine Island many of which are suspected of provis- ioning German battleships atsea. The staff officer said the govern ment plans to arm the islands so that they can withstand an as- sault, pending the arrival of a fleet.
 The war department also says that American troops will prob ably be sent to guard the Pekin- Mukden railway line in the terri tory evacuated by the Anglo French, under the neutrality treaty. They will probably go from the Philippines.
 Berlin has cabled the German embassy here that the Allies are retreating along the entire front and states that eleven British warships are supporting the AL lies.

 There has been considerable in the papers about the loss of $7, ,500,000' by the directors in the Frisco deal, but there is nothing about the transaction that would intimate dishonesty. The Frisco deal was a transac- tion involving over $300,000,000. The Rock Island held it six years and finding that it did not pay like it was expected to, turned it loose at a loss of $7,500,000. This is just like a man buying a piece of property for $500, holding it six years and finding he had made a poor investment, turning it loose for $293.50. The Judgment of the directors in letting the Frisco go was later demonstrated by the railroad be- ing placed in the hands of a re- ceiver."

George L. Fox Of New Haven, who

has made the discovery that the aver
age English schoolboy at the age Of
nineteen years is two years farther ad-

age American schoolboy at the same
age and about the equal of the aver
age German boy Of the same age, the
Hartford Times states. As Mr.. Fox
has arrived at this conclusion after
having become veteran master in
American schools and after having
personally visited two score or more
English schools. his opinion is entitled
