and imposing drama magnificent in
it's reflection Of character, poignant in

Abused SuperIatives.

1t is hard to make people understand
tnat the adjective almost invariably
weakens the noun and that the word
very" for instance. does not strength
en- a statement, but qualities 1t. But
the use of the ~superlative is ever more
abused. We talk of the "unimpeach-
able honesty of somebody or other,
knowing perfectly well that anybody's
honesty may be impeached. What
seems to be required is a REIMBURSEMENT
of our habits of thought and better
teaching of the value of words and
even of the usefulness of grammar. A
superlative necessarily involves an ak
iom. 1t commits you. like saying that
the sum of the angles of any triangle
is equal tc two right angles. Your di-
lemma arises when you try to prove it.
"Impregnability" and ''invulnerability"
and all other superlatives in general
use are posing as axioms when they
are mostly fallacies. Wall Street Jour-
nal.

EARLY RaiIroadina.

Some seventy-five years ago when
two trains of the Western Atlantic
railway met on the roads single track
line violent discussions ensued be-
tween the conductors as to which train
should back up and take the side
track, and the engineers frequently
joined In the dispute. Rule IA, issued
March 1, 1852, says: AS general rule
when trains meet between stations the
train nearest the turnout will run back.
Any dispute as to which train Is to
retire is to be determined at once by
the conductors without interference
on the part of the ~engineman. This
rule is required to be varied in favor
of the heaviest loaded engine or worst
grades if they meet near the center"
Conductors were admonished never to
leave either terminal point without the
mail or at least first sending to the
postoffice for it.

canva. Water sag. For Foresters

A canvas water bag that can be car
ried conveniently on a pack horse is
used by members of the United States
forest service when it is necessary to
transport water to places remote from
a regular supply for drinking and cook
ing purposes. 1t can also be used to
quench incipient fires by means of a
small hand pump carried along with
it. The container is made of heavy
cotton fabric without seams or patches,
rendered water tight by treatment with
a mixture of parafin and turpentine.
Each bag has a capacity of ten and
three-quarters gallons of water and
weighs when filed about ninety-eight
pounds. Thus a pack load of two bags
weighs nearly 200 pounds, exclusive OF

Hardly any words IN the English Ian
guage have strayed farther from their
original meaning than the terms OF for
estry. Thus a forest was originally .
great tract of country. which might In
clude woods, cultivated lands, pastures
and even towns and villages. all the
hunting rights owe which were reserv-
ed to the monarch. A chase differed
from a forest mainly In the fact that
the hunting rights were vested In a
subject instead of a king. A park was
a fenced preserve, either in or out OF a
forest, while a warren vas a piece OF
waste ground over which the right to
hunt the hare, the rabbit and the fox,
the pheasant, the partridge and the
woodcock had been granted by the
king.
In the same way the term afforesta-
ton had nothing to do with the plant
ing of trees. 1t meant the subsection
of any tract of country to the forest
laws-in other words, it was the set
ting aside of this tract as a forest. A
forest might and commonly did include
vast estates of landowners and large
towns whose rights remained untouch-
ed except as to game.-London Mail

n Thrift Means.

Thrift is positively essential to sue
cess, and every American wants to be
successful. A mar should put his own
name on his list of creditors. He
should cut down his expenditures 10
per cent and pay that amount to him
self. Any business should pay 10 per
cent, and a man. should consider him-
self a business proposition which
should pay dividends. When he begins
to zee this he will become thrifty. It
has been estimated that If a man who
begins to work at the age of twenty on
a salary Of $50 a month and receives
an increase Of So each year for forty
years will save 10 per cent Of his sal
airy and invest it wisely or put it In a
savings bank at compound interest, at
the end Of that time he will be finan-
cially Independent and can retire with
a comfortable income.

Victor Huoo.

Victor Hugo was born at Besancon,
France. Feb. 26. 1902; died May %,
1885. He began his literary work at
fourteen. and by 1927 his reputation
was continental. In 1852, on account
of his democratic sympathies, he was
an exile in the island of Jersey, but aft
er 1870 he returned to France. Forced
into politics, he soon became disguised
with its insincerities and resigned his
seat in the assembly to which he had
been elected. In 1876 he was made q
senator, but accomplished much
on account of his uncompromising hos
tility to every form of official trickery.
