WORDS CHANGE n MEANING
Sometimes Through the centtrfes
They Became Contradictory
Two Great Examples.

1t is q curious habit that history II
veals, that of stripping word of its
original meaning and clothing it with
q meaning radically different We
were told in our high school days that
Slav meant originally, master" and
that when the Slavs were captured in
great numbers by the more civilized
nations Of Europe and impressed
into involuntary servitude, they gave
their once proud name to be used for.
ever to designate the condition of
slavery. Modern etymologists are in.
clined to scout the idea that the word
Slav came from the old Bulgarian
"slava," which signifed glory" but
IN the case of another perverted word
there is no dispute. That word is
Mameluke"
In Turkey mameluke was a slave
boy. usually Circassian, who did
mental work in the household of the
master. About the year 1900 a great
body OF these slaves were sold bv
Genghis Khan to the ruler of e. Ut.
In 50 years they had seized the gov.
eminent, assassinated the mora arch
and elected one of their number to
the throne. Their government lasted
until 1917, when they were overthrow
by Selim l, sultan of Turkey, but they
continued to be power in the army
until the beginning of the nineteenth
century, when Mehmet Ali had them
massacred, because no ruler could
ever 1eel secure on his throne as lons
as the cavalry wing of his army was
composed of mamelukes. Their very
name had come to signify the master
fui qualities that belong not to the
slave, but to the conqueror.

Pearls found on the coast Of Aus
Italia are of many shapes and colors.
Those under ten grains are sold BY
che ounce, above that by the grain.
Color has deal to do with the value.
The white pearls go mostly to Europe
and the yellow ones to India. In Aus
tralia an ounce of good white pearls
will fetch up to $500. but sometimes
realizes only a fifth Of that amount.
The yellow pearls may be rated on an
average at about half the value of the
white ones. The seed pearls used for
cheap jewelry can be had for So per

value is sometimes enhanced For the

Beauty and Brains.

A pretty girl need not necessarily be
brainless, but somehow the combina-
ton persists.
Did you young fellows ever stop to
analyze any Of your conversations
with that wide-eyed little blonde who
always wears pink silk blouses? No,
of course you didnt-you hardly knew
what you were saying yourself.
Trouble with you is that you haven't
imagination enough to conceive of a
pretty girl who could bring up a more
interesting talk topic than her own
sweet self.
You sort Of concede that a peach OF
q girl is three-quarters mush, with
heart of stone
OF course there is such a thing as
the pretty girl with brains, but she's
either married or else in love with
some cuss that doesn't appreciate her.

LEAVE NOTHING FOR ENEMY
Soldiers Are SchooIed to Become Ex-
pert In the Matter Of Destroying
Weapons of War.

Military men are taught how to
destroy surplus stores which may be
useful to the enemy and which are In
Danger Of capture.
1t may be necessary to destroy
guns to prevent them falling into the
hands of the enemy, or to make cap
tured guns useless. II a small
amount Of dynamite or other explosive
Is available Of course this can be done
very effectively.
II not, the breech of the gun h
closed and the hinge-joints smashed
as much as possible with a handspike
Or pick. II there is time few rife
shots fired at the vital points of the
gun effectively jam the mechanism so
as to make it useless.
With rifles, the butts are broken
of and the barrels destroyed as much
as possible. To do this the rifles
are well heated over a fire and
smashed up with heavy hammers. The
army hand books lay down that party
Of five soldiers should be able to
destroy 80 rifles an hour.
Ammunition is destroyed by plac-
ing it in a deep Dit and setting it on
fire.
Telegraph wires are cut up into
small pieces and the poles cut down
and broken up.

KNOW WHERE 70 FIND THEM
War Authorities Keep Effective rf6ck
Of All the Soldiers Under
Their Control.

It is doubtful whether any foreign
war Office follows with an accuracy
greater than that displayed by the
United States war department the
movements of its officers. The follow
ing is an interesting case in point:
A young army officer who had seen
service in this country and in the
East was once with a small scouting
party In Arizona After two weeks In
the desert his squad came to the rail-
way near a small station. Within ten
minutes telegram from Washington
was brought to him by the station
agent. 1t asked If the officer wished
to be transferred to one of the new
artillery regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set OF again
across the desert
1t was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this tine
80 miles from the point at which they
had previously crossed it, but the Of
fcer's reply from the war department
was awaiting him. It had been tele-
graphed to every station within two
hundred miles.
A more striking instance OF accu-
racy occurred after the same officers
transfer to the East. He was travel
ing home on leave and, as the regula-
lions require, had notified the depart
ment of the day, hour and probable
route Of his journey. After he had
been on the train for eight hours at
a small station the conductor entered
with a telegram, asking II anyone OF
his name was on board. On opening
the telegram the officer found that it
ordered him to detached duty.
Exactness Of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart.
ment knew the whereabouts of sec.

Peaches in ENGLAND

A long time ago someone said thai
an Englishman eats a peach as if he
were performing a religious ceremony.
No wonder! In the London market a
sale of dozen peaches ranks as a
wholesale transaction And the price!
The London Telegraph recently print
ed an article on Cheap Fruit" in
which the statement occurs that
small samples" were worth two or
three shillings dozen, but that the
best fruit could be bought at IL shil-
i1ngs dozen. Think of paying quar-
ter for single peach, But there were
some shops that cut the price. and
that would sell you peach for three
pence-six cents.-Youth's Compan-
