Snanish Nicknames,

One of the peculiar ways in which Spanish differs from English is in the names the language gives to all people with certain infirmity or pecuiarity A blind man is referred to as el ciego a man with but one eye is Il tuerto. a pug nosed man is chato, one who is cross eyed is bsojo, a colo is lame man. and a manco has but one arm. If he is humpbacked he is q jorobado. if baldheaded q calvo. and if his hair is very short he Is a pelon. The femi- nine titles for the same classes are the same with the exception that they end in "a" where the masculine terminate with "o" These short names are used most commonly. In fact, they are ap piled as nickmnes in many cases. and especially among the lower classes per sons are addressed or referred to only by these names.

Varieties of Brjdues,

Bridges are seen hanging over rivers and upon noses. They also span some streets. They should not be confused with the game called bridge which spans only time and money. Some bridges. like poker. depend entirely upon the draw. Bridges spend their time in heaving up and down and lean- ing against their towers. The object of bridges is to give very one chance to get back from where ne has been. or to go whence he can get back. Some times bridges are built over railroad tracks and spend all their time in sav ing people from being run over. A bridge which is thus employed is very happy. because it leads an upright life: also because the railroad company was sad when obliged to put it there.
 Bridges are also used over chaSms. Every chasm ought to have one. 1t provides place for children to fall from: also it gives the chasm some thing to look up to.-Life.

Eriendliness of London.

There is no friendliness like the friendliness of London. Six or seven years ago 1 went rather frequently to a certain tea shop, which has every afternoon q crowd of men taking thelr tea and playing dominoes and chess. We used to talk occasionally, but none of us ever knew the name of any Of the others. Then for five years l did not go near the place until one day when | dropped in almost by accident. At once there was greeting and a welcome from at least half dozen. The other day went in again after another absence of six months. and the greeting was the same. This will do to tell those people who insist that London Is an unfriendly place.-1On- don Citizen.

OUR WORD "GARDEN."
In the Old Anglo. Saxon 1t Meant Pri- vate inciosed Land.

In the Old Anglo Saxon 1t Meant Pri- vats Inciosed Land. We speak so freely and often of a garden" assuming that there is some well defined common use of that word even among the authorities on garden. ing subjects. But the fact Is that 1t has reached mighty elastic limits in their writings and speech and can be taken to mean anything from the enormous private parks and estates to the tin can glories of back yard.
 The word garden is from the old Anglo-Saxon root '.gyrden," meaning an inclosure. At that time, due to the uncertain character of community life, it was either inclosed within fortifica tons or left unprotected and exposed without. fAis private inclosed land was 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 land devoted to the cultivation of plants either for pleasure or for use: thus, we have the vegetable or fruit garden. and on the other hand. the wall, water or rose garden, etc.
 Liberty Hyde Bailey defines a gar den as "the personal part of an estate that area which is most intimately as sociated with the private life of the home."
 Whatever the sense in which 1t Is used. the word garden" always sue ceeds in carrying with 1t an atmos- phere of romance and beauty, which countless ages of use cannot dim.- Philadelphia Record.

HUMAN INSTINCT.
More Potent at Times Than Reason In
 Directinq Our Actions.

More Potent at Imes man Heason Ih Directing Our Actions.
 That even in man instinct is some times stronger than reason Is illustrat- ed by these two cases:
 There had been shipped on Missis- sippi river steamboat 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 1t seemed an easy thing to do. First one and then another tried it, but when the snake gave it's vicious spring the finger was invariably drawn back with a jerk. Instinct was stronger than req son and will combined.
 A young man in Paris had lost his last sou at the gambIing table. Not only was he without means, but he had lost large sum belonging to his em' ployer. He started for the Seine with the intention of drowning himself. On the way there was great commotion, caused by the escape of lion from q strolling menagerie. The animal came galloping down the street. and people fled in every direction
 Instantly the man who was seeking death climbed lamp post and clung to 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.-W Washington Star.

ONE SORT OF MURDER.
It Doesn't Take Human Life, but lt |
 Shortens Its Usefulness.


 Shortens It's Usefulness. Several well known financial men were talking the other day when the name of man well known in the street for his proclivity to take up val uable time of friends with useless dis cussions about nothing was mentioned. One of the men in the party promi- nent in business and finance at once burst out with: That man! He's a murderer"
 "What's that?" said another. II nev- CT heard that he had killed any one un- less he talked them to death.'
 Il mean just what 1 say. He's q murderer on the installment plan," came the answer.
 The speaker was begged to explain, and he said: "I have just so many days to live. and all of them are filled with business of importance. That man comes in and steals my time, and claim that he has just as much mur- dered me as if some time in the future he had struck me down. for the time be talks with his nonsense is that much gone out of my life and is lost. l say that he is a murderer on the in. stallment pian."
 And when the other members of the party recalled the many times they had been treated in the same way by the man under discussion they agreed with the first man in his verdict Wall Street Journal.

Tho First Sacred Edifice In the World
 to Be Lighted by Gas.
 Readers of Our Mutual Friend" will remember that Dickens gives whim- sicaI description of St. Johns. Vest minister, when referring to the home of the dolls dressmaker, Miss Jenny Wren.
 "ln this region," he writes, "are a certain little street called Church street and certain little blind square called Smith square, in the center of which last retreat is very hideous church. with four towers at the four corners. generally resembling some petritied monster, frightful and gigantic, on its back. with it's legs in the air"
 Lord Chesterfield said St. Johns re- minded him of an elephant with it's legs in the air, and Charles Mathews likened 1t to dining table in the same position.
 St. Johns enjoys the distinction of being the first sacred edifice in the world to be lit by gas. As may be i'm agined. the introduction of the new illuminant was deeply resented by many conservative spirits, some of whom went so far as to describe it as sacrilege (England, Cou. ripr

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 it's superiority over Ant werp in cutting these diamonds is unquestioned. Antwerp, on the other hand. cuts large diamonds and small ones, according to what happens to be most in demand. It works on the larger Transvaal stones furnished by the London syndicate, and at the same time 1t monopolizes the small south. west African business.
