Channad Words.

The English language presents a large number of words that have been completely changed in their signifi 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, "I'l make ghost of him thai lets me-" of course "him that stops me-"
 The word is used in the same sense in the Bible, us in II Thessalonians il 7--"He who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way"
 "Raver' and "unraUcl" 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 "loose" and 'unloose."
 AS used freq lently in the Bible ore vent" instead of meaning to hinder means to "precede" or "go before. which is, of course, its ctymologita d meaning-Los Angeles Times.

Gi{kn of the Grass

The grass is missed only by its ab- sence. When we pass by a house which is minus a green lawn or grassy plot in front we exclaim, What blot on the landscaper' In a vague way we realize that the grass gives tone and color to outdoor life as nothing else can; that no picture is complete without it All the beauties of the seashore-the bold rocks, the crested surf. the dashing waves, the lights and shadows which play at sunrise and sunset beside old ocean-cannot com pensate for the lack of the grass be- heath our feet Friends wintering at southern beaches have told us that they grew homesick for the grassy fields and meadows of home.-Marga- ret Woodward in Countryside Maga- zinc

SELLING DEAD LETTERS.
One Postoffice Custom That Teaches .
 Moral Lesson.

One Postoffics Custom That Teaches a Moral Lesson.
 Twice a year in Washington they hold curious auction. It is called the dead letter sale, but in reality 1t is the sale of packages that have been sent to the dead letter office because of de- fcient postage or wrong directions. After these packages have been held for certain length of time, in order to give senders or owners an opportunity to claim them, they are sold at public auction.
 It Is often strange and pathetic col lection. Most of the articles are cheap enough, although valuable things are not lacking. But who can estimate the intrinsic value of some of those lost gifts-the time and sacrifice and love they respect? How many lives were robbed of happiness that rightfully belonged to them because of the send CTS carelessness or ignorance!
 Is there not a parable lurking some where about this strange auctton7 How many lives are there today that hold the possibility of gifts for other lives, yet through carelessness or igno- rance or indifference are robbing both themselves and others and are care lessly making dead letters" of gifts for which eager eyes aud hearts are longing?
 There is no sale of these dead gifts. No one has any chance at them. They are doubly lost-lost to the one who should have used them and to the world that needs them. What pitt full waste of power and joy Baltimore AmoricQn

A special appropriation may 9be
made by the supervisors Tuesday
night to pay the bills incurred by
the circuit courts during the FIRST half
of the year, according to Supervisor
Daniel Logan, chairman of the finance
committee. w. T. Garden, deputy city
attorney, Thursday delivered an OPP
inion to James Bicknell, city auditor,
setting forth that the bills could not
be paid out of the appropriation made
for court expenses during the second
half OF the year, but he said this
morning that there is nothing to pre-
vent the supervisors from appropriate
ing from the general fund money to
meet the bills.
