their skates. About eleven o'clock pus-sers-by

a boy's cry for help coming from the
direction of the basin. A boy was seen
struggling in the water up to bis
shoulders and every movement he made
broke in more ice. The boy was thor
oughly frightened and called hastily for
help. A plank was thrown on the ice
and a large rope thrown down from the
coal shutes overhead and tin boy who
was Julius Freund, sun of Henry

l'OI'ULAR ERRORS.
Most of 1 hem Arc Onito llnrmlcss, and a
l ew Aro Merely Poetic.
From the Jewish Messenger.
Tim erroneous Idea that the darkest
hour immediately precedes the dawn Is
so common that It lias passed into a
proverb. Light comes as gradually in
the 1110 tiling as it dies away in the
evening. It would be as correct to
speak of "the brightest hour before the
sunset."
There is no error which prevails more
widely, even among educated people,
than the belief that a man has one rib
more In his right side thun In his left,
the dellcii-ney being supposed to have
been inherited from Adam. As a fact,
men und women each hnve twenty-four
ribs, twelve on each side.
one of the strangest errors Is the de
lusion that the so-called changes of the
moon affect the weather. This super
stition, handed down from remote
times, is held by the vast majority, both
educated and otherwise, throughout the
worlil. It is almost Impossible to con
vince a believer of this error. Ids answer
being invariably to the strongest argu
ments: "Hut how about the tides?"
Yet scientists declare that the moon
has in control over or connection with
atmosphere changes.
A mistake which Is w idely believed in
by all classes Is that if a dead body be
carried across any land on the way to
a grave It establishes a public right of
way over the land und forever. There
Is 110 ground whatever for the Idea nor
(so fur ns the writer can ascertain) has
there ever been been any ground at any
11; ne. Whv such an idea should lie
prevalent Is a mystery, but It Is seriour.
ly entertained, even by very many edu
cated people.
The notion prevails both In Kngland
and Scotland that the Irish pronounce
the diphthong ee broadly. In songs the
stories of Kngllsh manufacture they
are made to say "swate" for "sweet."
"si rate" for ' "street." "chaze" for
"cheese," "indade" for "Indeed," etc.
This Is altogether wrong. It Is diph
thong; ea which is so pronounced. Thus
"speuk" Is "spake," "neat" is "nate,"
which pronouncintlon Irishmen main
tain to lie correct.
one of the most common mistakes,
and one prevalent even among the edu
cated lasses. Is that the heurt is on the
left side of the body. It will, doubtless,
come 11s a surprise to most people to
learn that this Is nil a mistake; but it
is. nevertheless, nn indisputable fact
that it Is the smaller section of the
heurt that Is to the left side, as a care
ful study of the human anatomy will
verify. The popular error regarding the
position of the most Important organ of
the body doubtless owes Us origin to
the fact that the auricle through which
the blood Is forced from the heart into
the veins Is on the left side, and when
nny twitch Is felt it Is, of course, at
thut part.
SOLI) A TWO-CENT STAMP.
The Chappies Had .lust i'.isht Cents
between Them.
Two up-to-date young men got on a
Gates avenue car the other night, says
the New York Press. Their conver
sation at once attracted the attention
of the passengers. Kven a deaf man
would have known they had been call
ing on two young ladies, while a blind
man would have guessed that they
were dressed in the fashion. MMie con
ductor collected one or two fares and
then looked Inquiringly at the young
men. Both of them were searching
their pockets diligently. After a
whispered conversation the embar
rassed dudes called the conductor Into
the enr and spoke to him in a low
tone. The other passengers were In
terested deeply.
"Fh!" the conductor growled.
"Sh." said the speaker, and he be
gan all over again to explain their pre
dicament to him.
"Oh! Only X cents," he shouted;
"well, yottse'll have to get off. A
what "
By tliis time the young men's faces
were as red as a signal light.
"Oh! A postage stamp." bawled the
merciless conductor. "What'll I do
with a stamp?"
"Kb?" Please take it? Not on yer
lire. Yottse'll have to get off." and the
conductor winked slyly at the other
passengers.
By this time the other passengers
were enjoying the fun.
After the fun had gone far enough
a young man whom the dudes had
crowded nut of n seat bought the
stamp. The chappies did not even
possess the courtesy to thank him for
getting them out of their embarrassing
situation. They resumed a discussion
of the charms of their hostesses.

HER UlltTllDAY.
Tne Vogue Ideas About It That a l ittle
Ono Held.
What a studv it Is to watch the de
velopment of a child's ideas of the
world around it. The Chicago Post tells
a very pretty anecdote along this line
in Hie manner following:
She la a little mixed on the subject of
birthdays, in u. gentrul way she real
izes thut a birthday is a handy thing to
have around the house, but that Is as
far as she has reasoned It out. Her
third birthday arrived on schedule time
Thursday, and she wus duly apprised 'of
the fact that It was coming to her by
her two elder brothers. They told her
about It a week or two beforehand.
Thev also socculated a good deul as to
what she would receive, and perhaps
it was exeusnble for her to become
somewhat bewildered.
"1th I goln' to have a bl'thdny?" she
asked her mother when first told of It.
"Yes, dear," was the reply.
"When''"
"Next Thursday.'
Her brothers continued dilating on
the beauties of birthdays, and she con
tinued making Inquiries about her's un
til the day came.
Kurlv that morning she raised herself
up in her little Led and asked anxious
ly: "Mamma, hath my bi'thday coined?"
"Yes. dear." replied her mother.
The little one looked around the room
expeetuntly.
Well, where Is it?" she asked.
It took her mother the entire day to
explain to her satisfaction what a birth
day is, and even then she rather clung
to the idea that the doll she received us
a present was reully a "bi'thday."
BAD BOOKS AM) BAD BOYS.
Is the Influence of the Former Great on
the Latter.
Sir Walter Besant has been saying
somethings about the Inlluence of bud
books on boys. This, a question that
every mother Is seriously pondering.
There are some who argue that u boy
Is bad with or without the reading of
books. "To my own unintelligent mind
the fact that bad books do make bad
boys is so sure and certain that it re
quires no argument to prove it. only
a plain statement," says Sir Walter.
Books teach by precept or by example;
every hook that attracts and holds the
imagination teaches; If It did not teach
It could not attract; therefore bad books
must teach bad things. Bud books, says
a recent writer, did not make me a
bud boy, because, first I only read good
books; and secondly, I was bad always,
and through and through, from the be
ginning, and without any teaching. He
proceeds to give Jnstances of his own
appalling wickedness, indeed, he seems
to have been half mad at times with
rage und jealousy and Imaginary griev
ances. Are there many such boys going
about among us? Kverybody knows the
real bad boy at school; the boy who Is
not to be moved by any of the ordinary
methods. They scold him; they sneer
at him; they rage at him: they weep
over him; they gently lead him; they
kick him; they vpreach at him; they
cane him: they encourage him; they
praise him. Nothing moves that boy.
He won't work; he won't enter into the
spirit of the school; he won't be led;
he won't fall Into any traps. Then
he leaves the school, embraces some
career and turns out now and then
one of the finest fellows In the world.
But the little demon described In this
letter, who punishes hlsmtister by turn
ing up all the gas before locking up
the shoo for the night; who meditates
setting fire to the house; who carries
n revolver with intent to use It; are
there many of this kind? And is It not
rather terrifying to learn that he grows

and develops without the aid of the
bad book?
What is the, best cure for the badness
caused by bad books? The peculiar
kind of badness thus generated seems
to be the destruction of morals in the
direction of proerty and order. The boy
learns to think that it is grand to be In
opposition a rebel, and heroic to prey
upon people in other words, to thieve.
There are always two directions gen
erally more In which every human gift
may grow and develop. Xow. the gift
which tempts a boy thus fired by these
stories to "go oft" in this direction is th
instinct for battle nnd for stru-rale. A
wise nation would recognize this gift
as most useful, and would exhort par
ents to recognize It und make such a buy
a soldier, a sailor, a colonist in a. new
country, a policeman something which
would satisfy his cravings for struggle
and scrimmage, rnfortunutely, par
ents do not, as a rule, understand the
symptoms. To parents of a certain
class a boy Is a boy, and all the symp
toms are the same.
