A short time ago the curio collec.
ton of a Philadelphia went to the
auction room. Two whisky bottles
into which was blown the name OF
e. c. Booz, distiller in Philadelphia
about 1910, brought s2s and $50. They
were empty, but there is tradition,
wholly unfounded, that Mr.. BOOKS
brand of whisky was so popular that
1t brought the word booze into the
vernacular. Etymologists may point
to the old English house" to an old
Dutch word, or even to the Arabic.
The Philadelphia has neither eyes
nor ears for etymologists; he forgets
that Sheridan used "boozed;" he knew
only Il. C. Booz and remembers that
the distiller. an admirer of William
Henry Harrison, had his bottles made
in the form of log cabin. He should
have gone further and filed his bot
ties with hard cider, for Harrison S
campaign was known as the hard-cider
one.

Children VS.. Rcutine.

With the very young children II Is
essential to have a fixed regularity in
the daily routine II it can possibly be
carried out. This is necessary be
cause it is the only way OF getting
children into the habit of disposine
of the daily necessities in routine
way. In the matter of eating, sleep
ing and dressing, in putting away
toys and clothes, in table manners and
in the details of courteous conduct,
the routine may be observed with
never an exception. II Is apparently
the only way of making sure of the
habits. You know the saying about
being offered an inch and taking a
yard. Well. that seems to be particu.
larly true of children in the way OF
learning the rules OF life's game. A
change from the ordinary means a
license to ignore the rule. During this
period, therefore, every departure
from the routine involves a serious set.

CURED no exception should be permit.
ted. But after habits have been
formed they must not be allowed to
interfere with common sense or with
our happiness.

Clever Plneon.

A planter in South Carolina writes
that he once saw hawk dart into
u flock of pigeons, but miss his strike.
The pigeons scattered and the hawk
singled out one for pursuit. The pi-
geon rose to q great height, always
keeping above the hawk to prevent
it from striking. When the pigeon
got directly over an cid horsepower
ginhouse, raised 10 feet from the
ground, it suddenly darted by the
hawk and came groundward like a
shot, in a line a few feet from the side
OF this ginhouse. The hawk pursued,
and like two streaks they came down.
Eight feet from the ground the pigeon
swerved aside under the ginhouse.
The hawk dashed headlong to its
death on the ground.-Youth's Com.

Well to Avoid Ioquacity.

The wise man knows just when to
talk and when to be quiet. Many
kinds of businesses are out of reach
of the man who talks too much. A GER
tain agent for corporation was sent
out few years ago to get options on
several tracts of land. He got along
swimmingly until an inquisitive old
chap got after him The old fellow
was something of a psychologist and
at once began to pour hattery upon
the victim. The fellow couldn't stand
It. He just had to have his say and
began telling the shrewd old fellow
about himself and his importance,
Against his better judgment he talked
too much. .-n,~,i TT ~ a. ,,''ilril..lss'

A Church Which Is Falling.

The Church of St. James, Picca- dilly, which MT. Aubrey Strahan, di- rector of the Geological Survey of Great Britain; says is falling out of the perpendicular, was built by Sir Chris topher Wren to the order of Jermyn Earl of St. A1fbans. whose name is inn mortalized in the street that was inn mediately behind 1t. Extravagant textbook writers have been known to describe this church as being the Mas ters chef d'oeuvre. This is nonsense, of course, and Is provoked by, a na- tural admiration of the manner in which he treated the square box of an interior to make 1t hold 2000 per- sons
 The church as a whole, makes a pleasing and an old-fashioned appear ance in a modernized Piccadilly. If anything happened to 1t, 1t would be a real loss Ao London, for more dis tinguished people have been christen- ed, married, and buried there than in any other metropolitan church in re- cent times.
 The living is a very desirable one, if only for the sake of the fine rectory house which Hanks Pfccadilly. almost opposite the Piccadilly Hotel. Scores of eminent divines have held it,, the present rector being MT. Temple, a son of the famous archbishop-PaH Mall Gazette. [.

ings what he shall save.

Some years ago a Philadelphia phy- sician with a good income and ex- pensive personal tastes, a man accus- toned to living at his club and pay ing $1.50 for his breakfast and in pro portion for lunch and dinner, became ] much worried over the complaints of some of his poorer patients that they couldn't exist on their wages. He de- terrnined to see what a man in the city could live on. So he made up an adequate ration, one that supplied all the food necessary for himself in his daily work, one that kept up his strength and his weight fully to the normal, but allowed nothing for caprice or luxury. He lived a full month on it, coming out in better | physical shape than when he began at an aggregate cost for all his food and drink of ten cents a day!
 But when he told his experience to ] the complaining patients and offered | to show them how to live wholesome | ly, healthfully and economically on less than half what any one of them l was hpending, he was met with sneers and abuse rather than with gratitude Now, don't want to have to live one ten cents a day. I don't want | anybody else to have to. I should like | to live daily on the best the land af- l lords, to have my automobile and | plenty of change in my left hand | pocket for any emergency I wish ev- erybody~e1 could do the same. But we can't, many of us. do that. We | must cut our coats from the cloth we | have. There are too many people, as | it is. buying automobiles on a one horse income: too many buying beer and delicatessen on a bred-and- cheese | income
 1t may seem absurd to be preaching | the virtues of economy to a set of mer
 | like New England farmers, who have tn f-,1cr | to make both ends meet. But there | are farmers,-and farmers. Those
 whom the coat doesn't fit, needn't try | it on. I think there are some whose | neighbors, at least, will admit thai | they aren't fully as saving as they might be! -

There is only small amount of paving to be laid to complete the work here and give a fine approach to the railroad station, as well as making a fine first impression upon visitors to the city. The expense of making the improvement would not be heavy, it is said.
