A RECORD PRESCRIPTION.
After 1t Was Bought and Paid For 1t
 Lost It's Charm.


 The largest amount ever officially recorded as the purchase price of a prescription is f5,OOO ($25,OOO), paid by the British parliament to a Mrs. Ste vens to reveal the ingredients of her cure for gravel and stone in the blad- der and kidneys" Parliament voted this amount to satisfy the demands of the British public; also because Mrs. Stevens would not take a penny less for her secret.
 The ingredients as revealed by Mrs. Stevens were as follows: "Eggshells, snails Smells and alb, hips and haws, ash keys, swine cress and various oth- CT vegetables all burned to cinder, and the ash mixed with camomile flowers and fennel and other vege- tables"
 Curiously enough, when this high priced prescription was made public it immediately lost its potency-and its popularity. New cases failed to re- spond to it's magic, and cases which had been cured while it's mysteries were still unrevealed promptly de- veloped new symptoms. At the end of year it was practically forgotten. But its price record still stands; also the record of one instance in which a British parliament failed to get it's moneys worth.-Los Angeles Times.

WORDS IN THE MAKING.
Our Language Grows by Terms Created
 to Fit the Occasion.


 Language can be made in the l1- brary, no doubt, and in the laboratory also, but it is most often and most effectively created in the workshop qnd in the market place, where the imaginative energy of our race ex- presses itself spontaneously in swift creating the lacking term in response to the unexpected demand. Nothing could be better, each in its own day, than picturesque vocables like scare head and loan shark, windjammer and hen minded, all of them American con- tributions to the English language and all of them examples of the purest English. Hen minded is an adjective devised by MT. Howells to describe those women who are so common in all walks of life and who are made up of only one aim at time and of manifold anxieties at all times. Scare head and loan shark are the products of the newspaper office, while wind jammer was put together by some down east sailor man, inheritor of the word forming gift of his island an cestors who helped to harry the ar mada. "Windjammer," remarked Pro- lessor Gil2ersleeve, trained by his intimate knowledge of Greek to ap- preciate verbal vigor as well as verbal delicacy-"windjammer is fine word, I grant, and so is every Anglo-S Saxon compound that grows and is not made"
 But all new words are not of neces sity good words. Ben Jonson, who was himself frequent maker of new words, displayed his shrewdness when he declared that "custom is the most certain mistress of language as the publicke stampe makes the current money" adding as a caution, "But wee must not be too frequent with the mint, every day coyning." Brander Matthews in Harper's Magazine.

COLOR AND MOISTURE.
There Is a Good Reason Why Vegeta-
 ton Is Mostly Green.

s'0' tS "tSos'J S'SS'
 Doubtless many have wondered why the vegetation of the earth is mostly green. That is, not what makes it green, but why it is that color instead of blue or red or purple.
 Moisture. it has been found, will be collected by the green foliage in proper quantities while foliage of other colors will not be properly nourished by the dews and moisture from earth and at. t1osphere.
 A rather curious experiment proves this.
 Paint piece of glass yellow, another green and one red and one black and place all these painted pieces of glass out in the open air over night during a summer or autumn night.
 When examined early the following morning it will be found that the yell low piece will be very wet and the green piece only fairly moist, while the red and black pieces will be dry.
 This is proof that yellow foliage would collect too much dampness, and the red and black would gather none. Green, which collects the medium amount of moisture, seems to be the color best adapted to the conditions ex- fsting throughout the earth.
 Yellow foliage has been known to damp off and decay under the same conditions that makes green foliage thrive.
 A few yellow leaved plants are grown under considerable difficulty un- der ordinary weather conditions.-New York American.

Looked Bad For Papa.

Williams uncle was very tall, fine looking man, while his father was very small. William admired his uncle and wished to grow up like him. One day he said to his mother:
 Mama, how did uncle grow so big and tallY'
 His mother said, Well, when uncle was a small boy he was always very good boy and tried to do what was right at all times. so God let him grow up big and tall"
 William thought this over seriously for few minutes, then said, Mama, what kind of boy was papa T-Pitts- burgh Post

WHAT MOVED EN-

A school teacher recently gave his
pupils a lecture on patriotism. He
pointed out the high motives which
moved the teTTitorials to leave their
homes and fight for their country.
The school teacher noticed that
one boy did not pay attention to the
instruction, and test question he
asked him:
what motives took the territorials
to the WARP"
The boy was puzzled for a mo-
ment; then, remembering the public
send-off of the local regiment at the
railway station, he replied:
Locomotives, sir. London Tit
Bits.
