K. THOMSON, Ph. D. “PELL-MELL” T° DO something pell-mell Is to do it in indiscriminate haste and con. fusion. The expression Is commonly used in every day speech, but the per- son 48 rare ‘who understands the al- lusion with the knowledge of how it started. The expression comes to us from the old English game of pall mall or pail mall, which was Introduced during the reign of Charles I, and subsequent ly became very popular In England. A game in which a ball was driven with a mallet, and taking its name from the Italian “palla maglio,” palla tneaning ball and “maglio” hammer. In quick pronunciation pall mail be came “pell mell” and It was from the fact that under certain circumstances In the game, the players would rush headlong at the ball that such heed- less, hasty activity came to be de scribed as “pell-mell.,” And though the game which brought it Into exist. ence has served its time and passed out of the picture, the expression “pell-mell” has survived In modern speech, (Copyright.) {mmm “The pin money that girls stick dad for is usually the price of a diamond, "w a brooch, hy * WHY WE LOSE INTEREST E GET interested, but V stay interested. We est either temporarily or permanently, taking on new Interests and casting them off as wornout clothes. Some interests hold us longer than others. The reasons for losing Interest are fatigue and saturation. We lose in- terest because we become tired In body and mind and cannot hold our attention on the interest. As much as children love to hear stories, they we don't lose inter interest and fall asleep, True fatigue causes the loss of In- terest In the economy of health. It is also true that loss of interest due to being fed up on the thing causes false fatigue. Often we think we are terribly tired when In reality we are merely disinterested. We are tired of the thing we are doing and assume that the whole body is tired. We say, “that makes me tired,” or “he makes me tired,” when we mean that the thing or person referred to does not interest us. Some Interests we lose permanently because our tastes are changing. We grow away from the thing that once held us firmly, Darwin, for example, testifies that after thirty years of re. search in animal and plant specimens in support of his famous theory of evolution he suddenly discovered that he had lost his interest in literature, Here is a curious thing In the mat- ter of losing interest. We lose Inter est If we overindulge in a thing and get fed up and tired If not actually disgusted. On the other hand, we also lose Interest if we neglect the thing 80 that it dies of disuse, To keep up an Interest In anything, It seems nee- essary to Indulge moderately and at rather frequent Intervals, (® by McClure Negspaper Syndicate.) ) Aurora Borealis There 1s a discussion on concerning the noise which some persons claim to have heard accompanying the dem. onstrations of the Aurora Borealis in the northern skies. It has been de. scribed as a erisp monotone, like the passage of sleigh runners aver the erisp snow. Some explorers claim to have heard this nolse, but they state that it was heard under the most fa- vorable circumstances, and, on the other hand. there are other persons who have bad the opportunities who say the flashes are absolutely silent, Another description of this sound fis that It was lke the swishing of a whip or that of a squall through the upper rigging of a vessel, J Waiter L.
