"Either" and "Neither."

There are two or three things about
these two words that one should re-
member. In the first place. they should
never be used in connection with more
than two things--as: cit was either
Tuesday or Wednesday," not either
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" lit
was neither Tuesday nor Wednesday"
not neither Tuesday. Wednesday nor
Thursday" Then. either should not be
used In the sense of each, as they
walked on one on either side of the
road" 1t should be one on each"
side of the road The third caution is
about the pronunciation. Some per
sons insist that they should be pro-
nounced either" and "ni-ther.' with
the 81 long But this is more an af-
fectation perhaps than anything else.
The best authorities agree that the
right pronunciation is "e-ther' and
neither. New York World.

SYMBOLS IN ARITHMETIC.
Origin of the Plus, Minus, Multiplied
ton and Division Siqns.

When you make the sign of + in q
problem of addition, perhaps you do
not know that you are really using the
first letter of the word plus" in a
somewhat altered form. At first the
capital letter L was used, but as it
was made more and more quickly and
carelessly the top part of the letter
became merely horizontal line drawn
across the edge of the vertical
The sign used in subtraction has even
"a stranger history. The word minus
was first shortened into mus" with
a horizontal line above to indicate the
contraction after awhile only the let
ter m, with the line above it, was used.
and finally the letter was dropped, and
now we have only the hastily made
horizontal line.
AS multiplication is but short form
of addition. the plus sign was turned
sldewise into a character resembling
the letter X.
Division was formerly Indicated by
placing the dividend above hori-
zontal line and the diyisor below In
order to save space in printing the
dividend was placed to the left and
the divisor to the right, with simple
dot in place OF each.--Youth's Com

HIS PROPHETIC DREAM.
Curious Story Of Warning That Came
From Sunderland

The following prophetic dream was
related by the president of theolog-
zeal seminary:
1t had been the custom of one of the
professors to invite all the students,
with members of the faculty. TO din
ner at hotel on the annual Thanks
giving day On the morning Of that
day the wife of this professor suddenly
fell dead in her dressing room at 8
o'clock.
That morning at O'Clock one of the
students woke up from bad dream.
He had dreamed that he sat down with
the usual company at the Thanks
giving dinner and that Immediately
one of his fellow students rose in his
place, saying that it was his painful
duty to announce to the company that
the wife of their host had suddenly
died Mt s o'clock that morning.
This dream, however. he had in
stantly banished from his mind as an
uncanny probability and had thought
no more about 1t. But on going TO
the dinner and taking his seat with
the company he was unSpeakably
amazed to see the student seen in the
dream rise and to hear him make the
announcement made in the dream

GLEN ECHO PARK.

Just why Miss Lillian Taylor and How
ard Leslie Holt have made good and
have been headliners on the vaudeville
circuit for the past few seasons was
demonstrated to the entire satisfaction
Of the big throng that saw their first
exhibition at Glen Echo Park last night.
Room was at a premium in the en-
larged pavilion. where their exhibitions
were given. Every inch of space around
the floor was crowded and as the clever
dancers one-stepped. tangoed, hesitated.
and interpreted the difficult Maxixe as
it should be danced. they were frequent
ly interrupted by hearty applause.
Miss Taylor. who is a native of WASH
ington. is a petite little dancer. who de-
serves all of the good things said about
her. Nor was the dancing pavilion the
only center of attraction. for the same
old line pushed its way along TO get a
chance at the coaster and a ride through
the tree-tops- The gyroplane had its fol-
lowing and, as usual, a mount was hard
to get on the new merry-go-round.
The motion pictures out in the open
drew a large share Of attention and the
park in general had a midseason ap-
pearance.

street railways will be resumed this
morning by the House District Commit
tee.
While the schedule today includes more
testimony against the bill. there is no in
dication as yet that any one Is to appear
in behalf Of the measure.

F. c. Henderschott, of New York. is
to appear for the American Electric
Light Association. and Clarke n. Rosen-
crantz of the Electric Lighting Com
pany. Of Milwaukee. is also scheduled to
be heard.
Neither the Board Of Trade nor the
Chamber of Commerce has taken any
action with respect to the municipal
ownership bill. Thomas Grant, secretary
Of the Chamber. said yesterday that he
had no record that any committee Of
that organization was contemplating
lodging a protest against the bill nor
taking it up for consideration. William
NJ. Shuster, assistant secretary. made a
similar report for the Board Of Trade
Indications yesterday were that unless
the Commissioners come forward with
some cogent reasons for their recon-
mendation favoring municipal ownership
or unless the civic organizations show
some interest in the measure. the bin
will be tabled by the District Committee
and not reported to the House. This
action may be taken at the conclusion
Of the hearings today unless the COM
mittee hears that the Commissioners or
citizens wish to appear in behalf Of the
