Chained Words.

The English language presents a
large number of words that have been
completely changed in their .signif-
canoe since they first came into use.
In some cases their meaning has been
exactly reversed. A conspicuous ex-
ample of this is the word 'let," which
Shakespeare uses several times with
the meaning ito hinder" Hamlet ex-
claimed, 'T'll make ghost of him that
let's me- of course him that stops
me-"
The word is used In the same sense
In the Bible, as In III Thessalonians ii,
HE who now letteth will let until
he be taken out of the way"
"Ravep' and "unraver' mean exact
ly the same thing, although at one
time to unravel probably meant to-
reduce confusion to order. Compare
the words valuable" and Invaluable
and s1oose" and "unloose."
AS used frequently in the Bible ''pre-
VENT instead of meaning to 'shinder"
means to "precede" or Ego before"
which is, of course, its genealogical
meaning.-Los Angeles Times.

a. Natural Born Spender.

When long forgotten cousin died
and left Miss Mitfield a round hum
dred thousand the entire village, after
having recovered from the shock, fell
to wondering whether the faded little
spinster, after having for sixty-three
years pinched and scraped and plain
sewed just to keep soul and body to-
gether, would, after all, get much COM
fort from her eleventh hour opulence.
The state Of little Miss Mitfelds
mind was revealed when her next door
neighbor inquired what she should do
with her money = did she mean to
save it?
'Save itr' Her eyes flashed with
new found sscorn Listen to me,

List and LEIPZIG.

After young Felix Weingartner had
finished his work at the Leipzig con-
servatory he went, as was the fashion
at that time, to present himself to
Franz List at Weimar. Now, Leipzig.
conservative in music then, as it is to-
day, had never received the works of
Franz List with sufficient warmth to
please him. In fact, Leipzig had shown
itself quite unfriendly toward his com
positions, and the great master of the
piano resented it. Weingartner was
presented.
"Charmed.' said List. "Where have
you studied?"
cat Leipzig. meister," replied Vein
gartner.
Leipzig. Leipzig?" said List, as if
he had difficulty in recalling the city,
which. as matter of fact, is only two
or three hours away. "Oh. yesr' and
the light of remembrance came into
his eyes. That's a fine place to take
breakfast when you're on the way from

Christians call Palestine the Holy
Land because it was the birthplace OF
the Christian religion on earth as well
as that of the Saviour, whose birth,
