Il 10 About the Worst Contraction In
the English Language.
saint" is an improper abbreviation
Of "are not" British writers spell 1t
ant" which properly indicates its
derivation. Americans make 1t an In
elusive oiYense. using 1t for IAN not
and ais not" as well as for ''are moi"
1t is unquestionably the worst instance
of slovenliness in the common speech
Of today.
Yet 1t is by no means of universal or
even common use. 1t will slip occa-
sionally from refined lips. always with
a jar to the enunciator, as well as to
the nearer. But the habitual user of
"aIn'ts" Is careless of refinement. He
may be an excellent citizen who never
beats his wife nor kicks the cat But
there is likely to be something slipshod
about him somewhere. For "ain't' Is
needless. as well as cacophonous. It
fills no void and supplies no need.
English observers complain supercil-
iously of the laxness of American
speech. American observers who have
listened to the marvels of Lancashire.
Yorkshire. Devonshire and other shire
dialects are inclined to resent any as
sumption of British superiority. But
It IL none the less desirable to elimi-
nate our own linguistic sins, and Of
these 'ain't" is the most deplorable.-

TWO FACED JANUS.
He Was the Ancient Sun God - Well
- the God Of War.


Poor cid Janus. Do you know how
shamefully posterity has maligned
him? You have heard all your life that
January was named for the Roman
god Janus and that Janus was the god
Of war. hence the first month OF the
year must be turbulent. Or perhaps
you have gone deeper into the signifi-
canoe of the first months name and
have been told that 1t was given the
honor of heralding that CORY god be-
cause he had two faces, one looking
into the past AMI the other looking into
the future. as the first month Of the
year, naturally would do. But through
1t all you have held rigidly before you
the fact that he was the patron. the
devotee. perhaps even the instigator Of
war.
As a matter of history. Janus was a
venerable and thoroughly established
deity before the little band Of Trojans
carried eastern culture to Italy. when
the primitive Italians had not begun to
suspect that war was an institution
which called for goat" War needed
no justification or excuse. Men fought
because that seemed the only thing to
do. As for janus. he was their great
est sun god. He presided over the ris-
ing and setting Of the sun. and hence
he was the god who looked after the
propitious beginnings and happy end
ings of all undertakings. He was rep
resented with two faces. which looked
to the east and the west. His temple
In Rome was closed only In time Of
peace. and as there seldom was peace
II was usually open. Hence be was
called the god of war.-St Louis Globe

MOSES AND SANITATION.
Ancient Laws ~ Effective 40 Modern
Rulse Of Hygiene.

tN0svO W s'vv'S''S'
There has been gathered collection
of facts to prove that the sanitary laws
of Moses wefc not only on line with
the modern rules Of hygiene. but In
some cases In advance Of them.
The Jew. thousands Of years before
Christ, settling In a semitropical coun-
try. was forbidden to eat pork or she'll
fish, and milk was designated as
source Of contagion. In the Talmud
a method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which II acknowledged to-
ilay in our markets as the most sani-
tary.
Five thousand years before KcssS gave
to the world the results Of ~ re-
searches in bacteriology the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did moi
forbid infected poultry as food. 1t was
only a few years ago that German spe-
cialists discovered that fowl tubercu-
losis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
outside all cities. These hints the Gen
tile world did net fully accept until 4
century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods Of the
year. but the removal Of all families
In summer out to camps. where for .
time they could live close to nature.
Many Of the laws Of Moses were pre-
scriptions intended for the health of
both mind and body.-Boston Tran

Why Mosquitoes. Lik. Blood.

The fact that mosquitoes SO continu-
ally harass rich blooded creatures is
due to the fact that they cannot lay
eggs without the albuminous food
which is thus obtained. In tropical
countries the greatest enemy Of the
malaria bearing mosquito is species
of bat which Is protected from the in
sect's bite by its strangely shaped
hairs.
The bat is very swift Of flight, and
the mosquitoes. especially those which
have already made supper Of blood.

TRIBUTE TO THE MULE.

The mule is singularly free from the
ills to which horseflesh is heir. He has
more days work in him in 1856 consecu-
tive days than any farm animal or
farm engine. He requires less feed
when at work than any horse that can
approach his capacity. for when he is
idle he can forage successfully where
the draft horse finds the picking too
slim. He takes pot luck with any
owner cheerfully and keeps at upon 1t.
In peace the mule is mans most
faithful servant, although the gentlest
of his kind is not entirely free from
original sin and the Oldest may expert
ence unaccountable sporadic outbreaks
of devilment.
In war the mule retains his character
as a hard toiler, good scout and a
homely figure about whom the poets
and painters at the front do not grow
enthusiastic. Although he is unsung
