CHARACTER BUILDING

No value OF education is comparable
with that of character building No
matter how keen, cute, sharp, smart
polished, cultured, stylish, learned
gifted you are, If you lack moral fibre
high ideals, sympathy with the right
and the clean, you have no place in
the schoolroom for one minute. This
world Of ours right now is overstocked
with smartness and cuteness, business
cunning, political shrewdness, duplic-
ity and deviltry. We need pay no
salaries for teachers in those branches
We need no intellectual giants and
moral pygmies hooked up in the same

ORIGIN OF COMMON PHRASES

Eating humble pie" is a phrase
which really arose from the corrup-
ton of the word "umbles," or mum
bles, the coarser parts of deer kill
ed in hunting, which when made into
pie were formerly reserved for the
lower hunt servants; while cooking
his goose" is a phrase which originat-
ed when the King Of Sweden, on APP
preaching a hostile town, excited the
contempt of the inhabitants by the
smaflness Of his army. To express
this they hung out goose for him to
shoot at, whereupon the king set fire
to the town to cook their goose"
Long ago INSCRIPTIONS people used
to take a cat in a bag to market,
where they tried to sell il for a pig.
If, however, purchaser opened the
bag before buying, the cat, of course,
jumped out, displaying the fraud.
Hence the term letting the cat out OF
the bag"
Going TO the dogs" comes from the
Far East, where dogs are scavangers
of the streets. and become so unclean
as to be unfit TO touch; while the ex-
preston, Tell it to the marines" used
TO show disbelief in the truth OF
story, arose from the fact that when
the marines first went into service on
ships they were naturally rather
green" concerning nautical affairs,
and someone who related "a very tall
yarn was told to tell it to the ma
rines, the idea being that they could
be more easily gulled.
1t is a curious fact that the phrase
Bald as badger" owes it's origin To
authors of the past who had no exact
knowledge Of natural history. and who,
because the forehead of a badger is
covered with smooth. white hairs,
came to the conclusion that il was
bald.
Years ago a theatrical manager of
the bogus type had in his company an
actor whose strong point was the
ghost in Hamlet" If his salary was
not forthcoming on Saturday, the ac-
tor would eXclaim: Then the ghost
won't walk tonight" phrase which is
still used by actors on payday, and
which provides a striking illustration
of how casual remark becomes
common saying.-Toledo Blade.

The Dangerous wood Alcohol

There is an enormous amount Of
wood alcohol used in the trades
a bout S,000,0 00 gallons per annum.
About 1000, 600 workers are more or
less exposed to inhalation of it, and IL
has been shown by investigation TO be
exceedingly dangerous Heretofore,
we have thought OF wood alcohol as
dangerous chiefly when taken into the
stomach, but it also is very injurious
when inhaled Legislation is urgent
ly called for providing for better than
ordinary ventilation in establishments
handling the wood alcohol, and also
for labelling of all articles containing
il. Regulation has been strongly re-
sisted by manufacturers, particularly
those interested in the making Of per-
fumes, into which deodorized wood al
cohol enters largely.

Today's Poem
THE NEW BIRTH

Men need not die again to rise
With resurrection in their eyes,
If but the selfish spirit dies
We need not strive for birth above
Some dreaming prophet tells us Of,
While we have hearts and men need
love.
Who thinks thought for other
men,
Who lifts a brothers burden, then
Is with his brother born again.
a resurrection j behold
More tender than the vision old
OF skies Of blue or harps of gold
No stored sphere. no tabled land
A resurrection here at hand
The simplest soul can understand.
For men are learning more and
more
The greater lesson, later lore,
The thing they We're created for
The new idea, the broader birth,
Turns tears to joy and pain to
mirth
The new idea girds the earth
We shall not rise who seek to rise,
For our own selves 10 sainted skies,
While round about us sorrow lies.
Nay, we shall rise by kneeling near
Some brother soul with song of
cheer
Shall rise by bringing Heaven here.

ALDERMEN BACK
ID. p. w. HEAD ON
CONCRETE PAVING

Commissioner Fenkell, Monday
morning. asked the committee on
streets for permission to withdraw
the specifications for reinforced
concrete paving, explaining that he
was not satisfied with the paving
laid by the Thomas Steel Reinforce
ment Co.. last year, and the. he did
not approve OF the methods used by
the company in circulating petitions
for its pavement, under the forced
paving act. The commissioner said
his ONCE Is being flooded with
Thomas petitions which threaten to
use up the entire seoc 900 in the
forced paving fund.
The committee. after listening to
a number OF petitioners and John
Mcvicar. former member OF the
board OF public works.. was inclined
to support the commissioner. and a
resolution offered by Aid. Dingeman,
rejecting all such bids and other
wise concurring In the recommends
tons made by the commissioner
with the exception of Twelfth ward
paving petitions, was adopted.
Then the question arose as 10
whether the commissioner could sub
stitute another kind of paving on
the streets petitioned for. without
the signing OF new petitions. The
matter was put up TO the corpora
ton counsel and the meeting was
adjourned until 1880 o'clock, Tues,
day morning. to give him time TO
write an opinion. In the meanwhile
Aid. Dingeman's resolution is with
drawn.
Aid Littleheld and Cranshaw, of
the Twelfth ward, were the only
aldermen present willing to have re-
inforced concrete pavements laid In
their ward. Lothrop. Dillon. Con-
tinental, Melrose, Hague. King,
Sprague. Leslie. Shipherd. Infantry
and Belvidere-aves. and Twenty.
eighth and Thirty-third-sts.. have
been recommended for reinforced
concrete and bids advertised for,
Petitions are before the committee
for Charlevoix, Holcomb. Medbury
and other avenues. Many OF the
petitioners want reinforced concrete
because 1t Is a cheap paving. The
commissioner says he is willing to
pave the streets already petitioned
for. but he wants TO stop the flow
OF petitions without further delay.
