An Analysis of "Ain't"

"Ain't'' is an improper abbreviation
Of "are not" British writer's spell 1t
saint" which properly indicates its
derivation. Americans make it an In
elusive offense, using it for IAN not
and sis not" as well as for ARE not"
1t is unquestjOnably the worst instance
Of slovenliness I'm the common speech
Of today.
Yet it is by no means Of universal or
even Of common use. 1t will slip &C.
casionally from refined lips, always
with jar to the ennciator as we'll
as to the nearer. But the habitual
user Of "ain'ts" is careless Of refine
ment He may be an excellent citizen
who never beats his wife or kicks the
cat But there is likely to be some
thing slipshOd about him somewhere
for ''ain't" is needless as well as ca
cophonous; it fills no void and supplies
no need-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Mounting a Horse.

In mounting take the reins In the left
hand. At the same time grasp a little
name halfway up the neck. Now turn
the stirrup slightly toward you with
the right hand and place the ball Of
the left foot in 1t. Grab the horn with
the right hand and swing on. Don't
pull yourself on, but swing on. Settle
into the saddle easily; don't flop into
1t. If you want to get your neck
broke" some time mount by taking
the horn in one hand and the cantle In
the other. and the time will surely
come when you will not be disap-
pointed.
Just a word in regard to dlsmount-
ing. First withdraw your feet from
the stirrups to the ball. Take the
horn in the right hand and swing of.
letting the left foot slip easily and
quickly from the stirrup. Remember
this, for many a man has been dragged
to death because his foot stuck In the
stirrup. Your feet will nearly always
come free if thrown from a horse, but
the left one is prone to stick in dis
mounting unless the above precaution
Is observed.-Outing.

snaiIs Are Queer Creatures.

The snail is found everywhere. over
5000 species being known Some Of
the large tropical snails. as bulimas,
form nests of leaves, their eggs being
as large as a pigeons. The snail Is ex-
tremely skillful in mending its shell,
and some curious experiments may be
made with them. Thus i have seen a
helix Of yellow species attached to
another shell of reddish hue by cut
ting off the top whorl of the latter,
when the snail will proceed to weld
the two shells together and occupy
both, using the addition as a door and
possibly wondering at this sudden ex-
tension of its house. In the winter
some of the snails hibernate or lie dor
mant until warm weather. A snail Of
the Philippine Islands has faculty Of
throwing Off its tail when seized. This
Is also true of West Indian variety,
stenophus.-LondOn Telegraph.

Checkers.

The German name for the game Of
checkers or daughts is ''damenbrett"-
ladies' board-probably 'damen" for
short Some form of dame" is used
in almost every country where the
game is played. except the English
speaking countries. and the Scots still
speak of the ''dambrOd." Danes"
was the name in England for a time,
and we find it in an English book to-
ward the end of EliZabeth's reign.
The first use of the word draughts In
existing literature is about 400. At
later day checkers" became another
name, and this went to America with
the early English emigrants and there
became the usual name. In England
in the sixteenth century the game had
three names-"dames," "draughts" and
checkers" At an earlier period -check-
erie" "chekar," etc, had been English
names for chess.-LOndon Mirror.

Mark Twain as Attraction"

A girl who was a stranger to Mark
Twain once found her way into his
Bermuda home with the hope Of get
ting a sight of the author. She came
suddenly in contact with him and
frankly explained her errand.
"Have you seen the crystal cave
yet" he asked, "or the aquarium"
"No; 1 came to see you first" she
answered.
"Well. you shouldn't have seen me
first" he answered. 81 run in oppo-

"CoLD" EPIDEMIC OF TODAY.
Statistics show that the number of
people dying in the last few weeks is
more than twice the number of deaths
in the same period a year ago. There
is at present an epidemic of "colds,' -
coughs, influenza Qa grippe e the
grip, bronchitis, pleurisy, pleurody-
MIA, and pneumonia. Any one of the
above manifestations of a common
cold is liable to terminate in death.
Because the condition called a "cold''
is so frequent and often yields to or
binary treatment or no treatment, the
dangerous possibilities of the malady
are not well known.
The same cause of cold" is the
cause of pneumonia. If that fact were
we'll known our death rate now would
doubtless be normal in spite of the
other conditions. If it were well
known that ''cold" is young pneu-
monia the doctor would be consulted
before the patent medicines and So
called home remedies" had signed
the death warrants of many. When
the people learn to consult those who
are trained in the diagnosis and treat
ment of disease, for their infirmities
physical, then and not till then will
the pneumonia death rate be less.
Only a fool or a lunatic would risk
a trial for his life at the bar of justice
except in the care of lawyer. Even

selves in their efforts to avoid their
obligation to the physician.
