Trap For Quotation Experts.

If any one wants a catch question to
spring on gathering of self confessed
literary sharps let him ask whence
comes the quotation, One touch of

This is one Of the six best sellers in
the world of quotations, yet not one
person in a hundred knows where II
comes from. 1t is comparatively easy
to guess the author, but almost i,'pos

the work.

Traps In French.

A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference Of meaning in
similar phrases. For example, 'faire
feu" means to fire a gun, while 'faire
du feu'' means to light fire; ''tomber
par terre" conveys the idea Of falling
to the ground from ones own height,
whereas ''tomber a terre" means to fall
from any height-in other words, to
tumble down and to tumble off. In
the same way "traiter de fat" means
to call a man fop and ''traiter en- roi''
to treat him like a king.
The English bore may be expressed
In two ways-''un raseur" gives the
idea of an active bore and ''une bas-
sinoire" of a passive bore. - London
Saturday Review.

EVOLUTION OF SHORTHAND.

CnS lluGS OF NlCeFO.
To the averages person the idea of
shorthand writiL< is generally conSid-
cred as being In,dern, because of the
rapidity with WHICH it has been intro
duced into business life in this coun-
try. This is not the case however, for
history traces the use of Il similar art
with definiteness back 10 the time OF
Cicero, about 20 b. c. The invention
Is sometimes credited 10 Cicero aud
sometimes ID his secretary. Tull.us
Trio.
Nothing seems 10 be known of any
other system of shorthand during he
Greek or Roman ascendency nor tor
fifteen centuries afterward The first
of the noted systems at the beginning
of the present era OF shorthand was
that of Timothy Bright, whose treatise
was dedicated TO Queen Elizabeth In
1000 Peter Bales brought out system
similar in some respects to Bright's,
but which was difficult to memorize.
The next system to indicate progress
appeared twelve years later, by John
Willis, which was called THE Art OF
Stenography or Short Writing by Spell

Willis, jeremiah Rich, William Mason,
Thomas Gurney, as well as many 9th
ers All of these systems had many
defects, and the entire idea was reju-
venated when in the early part Of the
nineteenth century Isaac Pitman. who
afterward was knighted. presented his
system, which is still in use and which
has been the foundation for most OF
the systems now practiced--Exchange.

A CRITICAL PERIOD IN The WAR

With the Russian campaign at

interest now centres on two points

their own and repulsing all attacks.
The French have made notable prog
