SHAKESPEARE AND SLANG.
Later Day Phrases That Were Used by
the immortal Bard.

Later Day Phrases That Were Used by
the immortal Bard.
Good night a terse ejaculation that
has taken ranking position among the
slang of the day. had its source In no
less authority than VIII Shakespeare.
. 1t took a Hamilton college student to
discover that the magic words were
frequently used in Shakespeare's plays
and with as much variety Of meaning
as we have been giving to them.
''The idea that good night has the
mark Of modernity," declares this stu.
dent. sis a sad mistake. In act l.
scene 8, of the first part of King Hen
ry w. Worcester says he will disclose
a matter of Hotspur which is as full
of peril as to o'erwalk current roar
Ing loud on the unsteadfast footing OF
a spear To which Hotspur replies
If he fall in. good night"
Many other bits Of modern vernacu
lar are from Shakespeare, the student
says, among them $50 to itp' "You
cheesev' 81 am for you" dead drunk
and plenty Of others.
And regarding that once very favorite
phrase BEAT tt the student says
this: Every one from a former presi.
dent to a newsboy has made use OF
these two words. Yet in act 2. scene
l, Of The Comedy of Errors Luciano
exclaims: File! Beat 1t hencer Hart.

HORSES IN BATTLE.
Methods OF the Days When Chariots
Were Used In Warfare.


Were Used In Warfare.
In the old days when the Romans
and Greeks fought furious battles the
charioteers drove their cars in all di
rections, hurled their javelins and by
the din and clatter of horses and wheels
commonly threw the ranks Of the en-
envy into disorder and, making their
way among the squadrons Of the en-
emy's cavalry. leaped down from their
chariots and fought on foot.
The characters then withdrew little
by little out Of the fight and placed
their chariots I'm such a way that If
they were hard pressed they could read
fly retreat to their own side. Thus In
battle they afforded the mobility of
cavalry with the steadiness of infantry.
Daily practice enabled them to pull
up their horses at full speed when on a
steep slope or to run out on the pole
and stand on the yoke and to get nim-
bly, back into the chariot.
With the introduction of cavalry In
the later iron age came larger horses.
but their use for this purpose seems to
have been restricted to isolated areas.
There Is no doubt that the west Ger
man tribes as late as the campaign of
Caesar In Gaul used only the shaggy
pony. It Is said in cavalry actions they
held it disgraceful and slothful to use
any kind of saddle, and instead of
charging In squadrons they dismounted
and fought on foot
As far as England is concerned the
art Of riding seems to have been intro
duced by the Normans. The Saxons
appear to have been but Indifferent
horsemen-

Blending the odors.

1t has been proved that two odors
which do not seem to have anything
In common, that of putrefied cheese
and that of pineapple, are so closely
allied from the chemical standpoint
that it takes but few minutes to
transform an intense stencil into a
sweet fragrance. This curious expert
ment is easily made and requires but
a small amount of three chemicals
-valerianic acid, sulphuric acid and
amylic alcohol. Care must be taken
not to spill over the fingers or dress
any drop of the first two named liq-
uids. Sulphuric acid is exceedingly
caustic. and the stencil Of valerianic
acid. besides being uncomfortable, Is
very difficult to get rid of.-London

The indignant MandrilI.

The blue faced mandrill which. OF
who, has ended an unhappy life in his
solitary cage at the zoo was victim
to the human sense of humor. He had
long, broad, light blue nose with q
pink stripe down the middle. The
nose always caused laugh. And
when. in acute Irritation, he turned
his back upon the inevitable guffaw
the bright blue thighs. edged with rose
color, raised a new shout of delight.
He knew perfectly well that the laugh
was the laugh of derision, the third
and lowest of the forms OF human fun.
He visibly hated his visitors. Nature
had so colored him to enchant the
eyes Of a mate. but men have other
eyes than hers. Swift In his days OF
failure and despair might have looked
with the look of the indignant man.

HIS TWO BAD DAYS.
Lord Byron Had Positive Dread Of
Fridays and Sundays.


The belief in palmists and sooth-
sayers Is not, as is sometimes sup
posed, confined to the ignorant and the
credulous. Lord Byron was not
skeptic In these matters. Just before
his death, as recorded in "Byron-The
Last Phase" by Richard Edgecumbe
"he said he had reflected a great deal
on a prediction which had been made
to him when a boy by famed fortune
teller in Scotland.
His mother, who firmly believed in
ehiromancy and astrology, had sent
for this person and desired him to In
form him what would be the future
destiny of her son. Having examined
attenttyely the palm of his hand, the
man looked at him for awhile stead
tasty and then with a solemn voice
exclaimed, Beware OF your thirty-sey-
enth year, my young lord, bewarer
HE had entered on his thirty-sev.
enth year on Jan. %, and 1t was evil
dent from the emotion with which he
related this circumstance that the eau
ton of the palmist had produced a
deep impression on his mind, which In
many respects was so superstitious
that we thought it proper to accuse
him Of superstition.
To say the TRUTH answered his
lordship, I find it equally difficult to
know what not to believe You
viii, know, ridicule my belief In
lucky and un1ucky days, but no con-
sideration can now induce me to un-
dertake anything either on Friday
or Sunday. I am positive it would
terminate unfortunately. Every one
of my misfortunes-God knows / have
had my slsare-has happened to be on
one Of those days"

percent of the crop is open in some
sections and pickers are at premium.
Most of the ginneries of the city and
county are running on full time and
each day hundreds of bales are stored
in the local warehouses. Interviews
with merchants and other business
men of the city develops the fact that
the farmers are fast taking care of

the farmers are unusually prompt in
this respect and that they are excep-
