and called ‘*whoa” to the horses. This
and the strain of the lines wrapped
around Mr. Burkholder's hands caused
the team to halt at once, otherwise the
wheels of the heavily laden wagon would
have gone over his head. Mr, Snyder
picked him up in an unconscious state,
from which he soon recovered.

HOW LANGUAGE 1S ENRICHED
New Words and Phrases Most Fre
quently Mave Their Origin in the
Patter of Thieves.
It Is necessary that the language
of a nation should be refreshed and
strengthened now and then by the in-
troduction of new words and phrases,
and, as befits democracy, these spring
from the soll; not one of them de-
scends upon us from the Olympian
heights, observes the New York Her-
ald, Neither scientific nor scholastic
bodies ever enrich the common tongue
with expressions so apt and full of
meaning that they gain immediate and
enduring vogue, The slang of the un-
dergradunte collegian Is pitifully io-
ept and meager,
For anything that ean give a new
zest to the vulgate we must look to
the stage, the gambling house and even
to the opium den and thieves' resort.
Returning soldiers will certainly bring
with them much of the argot of field
and trench of which “cootlies” is a
sample. The word “Joint” as applied
to iniquitous and other resorts comes
from the joint of bamboo from which
an opium pipe Is made, “Dope” was
originally the slang term for oplum-—
Hence “dope” and “dopy.” Innumer-
able are the verbal products of the
gambling house. Among the common-
st of them are “four flushing,” “keep-
mg tab,” “standing pat” and “down to
cuses.” To “give the office” or “of-
fice” some one is a very old bit of
London thieves’ slang.
The cause of all this Is quite ap-
parent to the thinking mind. Pérsons
of education and cultivation have a
voenbulary of their own sufficiently
targe and varied to enable them to ex-
press themselves without going bee
yond Its limits. Those who are lack-
ng in educntion sometimes coin words
in an emergency that prove so expres
sive that they acquire general cur
enicy.

Records Glve Proof.
in 1600. when Lord Verulam
first made a vague allusion to the
subject, but In 1048, it seems, was
first mention made of the submarine;
and then at some considerable length
in a memoir published at “The Brazen
Serpent, In Paul's Churchyard.” And
with this discovery comes another,
that the submarine, or “Ark for Sub
marine Navigation” as the author,
John Wilkins, terms it, had been tried
and found a practical possibility in
the days of the elvil wars, “Cornelous
Dreble” had experimented with “the

Taxes Out Estates.
There are, or were before the war,
nearly 1,000 great country estates scat-
tered over (reat Britain, many of
which have now been closed because
‘of the huge taxation. Of these sixty
may be classed as private palaces, for
ench required a staff of from 200 to
600 servants and attendants. Outside
of the household servants there were
many men employed as caretakers for

He had thought it all out and decided
that it might be a good thing to try
the experiment. His various business
enterprises had prospered; his Incame

have done but had not. One night he
lay awake pondering the whole mat-

over it. Then he made up his mind,

whieh the bookkeeper should regular

He warned him never to full to have
the “Special” account ready when

And that business man's “Special”

a wonderful revelation of the capacity

the casket of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
had remarked the bouquet of flowers
upon which lay the symbol “20” In red

by members of the press gallery in the
Dominion parilament. For them thi

which the great departed pronounced
