~JUD WORD, BUT SLANG
Term in Good Society Accepted as
Meaning “Chum;” in Vocabulary &
Crime Stands for Accomplice.
|
The dictionary recognizes the right
‘ef “pal” to inclusion in our languags,
though designating it as slang. Like
‘many words thus classed, it is a terse
‘way of expressing a relationship
readily understood but not so easily
"defined. In good society it is accepted
as meaning a chum, a congenial com-
‘panion; in the vocabulary of crime
{t stands for a confederate or accom-
'plice.
The most natural and instinctive
thing in life is a desire for congenial
| companionship ; only the abnormally
| developed mentality can live on &
sufficiently exalted—or shall we say
.gelf-centered—plane as to other per
:sonalities.
, A pal is an intimate friend of either
Imex, to whom one may “talk as the
heart beats,” may confide hopes, fears,
‘happiness and disappointments, cer-
tain the trust will not be betrayed.
Between opposite sexes is excludes
lovemaking or “spooning,” but means
a broad, intelligent, faithful, yet subtle
friendship, since all friends are not
pals; not necessarily a unanimity of
opinion, but a disposition to ‘*‘agree
to disagree” in case of differences.
There is a tacit respect for each
other's individuality.
Perhaps one of the best tests of a
pal is that the two enjoy silence to-
gether; there is a sense of companion-
ship in being together without the
constant trickle of words which most
of us feel necessary unless one would
be thought unsocial.—Detroit Free
Press.
WOMAN, 80, WORKED IN MINES
Grandmother, Yet Able to Be on
the Job Ten Hours a Day,
Toiling Like a Man.
Mrs. Bridget McHugh, the oldest
“pit-brow” woman in the Pemberton,
Eng.. coal field, is dead at the age of
80 years. For more thau half a ced-
tury she had worked at the mines.
“Old Bridget,” as Mrs. McHugh was
familiarly called. was a hale and
hearty, strongly built woman who
eould use a shovel in filling mine cars
as well as any man, and ‘was always
looked upon as an expert pit-brow
worker, few being her equal. The
shorter working day was unknown
‘to her, and summer and winter, rain
or shine, she was accustomed to leave |
home at five o'clock every morning.
and was in her place at the coal bank
before the whistle sounded at six. Her
day continued until five or six at
night. Mrs. McHugh was a graond-
mother, and two of her sons are em-
ployed in the colliery where she work- } g J nt,

Crystals of Unlimited Size.
Artificial crystals of great regular-
ity and clearness, and of almost vn-
limited size. are claimed as products
of the perfected process of R WY
Moore. an American physicist. The
usual growing of crystals consists in
evaporating the solution in which a
little crystal is suspended as a nu-
cleus. In the new method, the solu-
tion is kept slightly supersaturated,
and the growth continues as long as
this condition is maintained. Crys:
tals of Rochelle salt (sodium-potas-
slum tartrate) more than three inches
long and two inches thick have been
produced, with all surfaces and angles
perfect. This salt is most soluble
in hot water, and supersaturation Is
obtained by dissolving in ‘hot water,
and slightly cooling. With the aid of a
thermostat the temperature is so regu-
lated as to keep up the supersaturated
condition. The seed crystal is sus-
pended in the solution of the material,
and growth is said to continue indef-
tnitely with efficient control.
For Better Education.
The honors for literacy must, alas,
go to Germany, where the illiteracy
percentage is far less than one! Ehg-
land follows close behind. But in the
United States nearly 6 per cent of the
people can neither read nor write our
language. This sounds bad, burt it
really isn’t when you consider our
heavy immigration.
Educational bureaus throughout the
country are constantly bettering con-
ditions. for greater literacy means
greater labor production. In many
counties traveling libraries are sent
out—wagons fitted up with book
shelves.
But careful education of the chil-
dren is the most important branch of |
| prepared by Kocher
all, and so many cities provide con-
veyances for crippled children to go to
school in.
When we consider that India and
‘Egypt are over 92 per cent illiterate,
our fast decreasing six looks very
gmall.—Popular Science Monthly.
Mexico's Pyramids.
Archeological investigations by =
governmental commission to solve the
mystery of who built the great pyra-
mids at San Juan Teotihuacan, 2
miles from Mexico City, says the De-
troit News, have brought to light twe
great granite heads of the ancient
Mexican god of the air, Quetzzalcoatl.
These heads are almost perfect spec-
fthens. hearing all the symbolic mark-
ings. The long-disputed point as to
who erected the pyramids is, as yet,
the sun and the other to the moon, the
former being 761 by 721 feet at the
base and 21% feet high, are general-
ly attributed to a tribe that preceded
the Toltecs. probably dating frow
gbont the ¢ixth century.
