The usual idea that a drowning man Is stretching out his hands for aid oi "catching at straws" is not altogethei satisfactory. A possible explanatlor has lately been suggested, and this supposes that the drowning man. losing all his acquired habits and even sorat of those Inherited from more recent parents, in his terror goes back to the Instinctive movements of his arboreal ancestors, and the movements of th< drowning man are those of a frighten t'd ape seeking safety by clinging tr the nearest tree. The movement is certainly tnstinc tlvc, for it can only be eliminated by considerable training and voluntary efforts, and yet it Is fatal to the indl vidual, for the specific gravity of nc human body is so nearly that of watei that the removal of the arms from the supporting fluid at once sinks the face beneath the surface. In cases of sc called "cramps" the victim, often a highly trained swimmer, generally throws up the hands, but these cases are probably due to heart failure, and a similar movement takes place on land when the subject receives a fatal heart wound, and it is even a common ex pression of shock or astonishment. The ordinary movements of walking or run ning would keep a man's face above water, but these curious climbing movements of both hands and feet make floating impossible and are re sponsible for many deaths by drown- Cincinnati Knquirer. Three Way*. An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman, making a tour around thr city a short time since, were observed looking through a confectioner's win dow at a beautiful young woman serv ing in the shop. "Oh," exclaimed Mr. Patrick, "do let us be after spending half a crown witli the dear eraytur, that we may look at her conveniently and have a bit of chat wid her." "You extravagant dog." said Mr. Bull. "I'm sure one-half of the money will be sufficient. But let us go in, by all means. She's a charming girl." "Ah, wait a wee," interposed Mr. McAndrew.

The town of Webster, Mass., has al ways been proud of the beautiful little lake within its limits, but never l>oast ed of the jawbreaking name by which It is known.

Those Which Foreigners (oming to tmerlrn l.earn to I »e First. What arc the most expressive phrases in colloquial English? Of the dozens that slip off English speaking tongues ; in the course of :i day some must he ! better suited for their purpose and more characteristic of the race that originated them than others. When foreigners come fo this country, they catch certain expressions almost imme diately and long before they can at : tempt to speak the language have ! made them part of their vocabulary. It would seem that these phrases must be the most expressive in English and that they are peculiar to the language and "till a long felt want," since for eigners seize so eagerly upon them. Every man or woman who lands in this country Is saying, "Hurry up!" in J two months. In whatever quarter of . the city one may walk, Italian or Ger ! man or Jewish, mothers will be dis i patching their offspring on errands, us ing their native speech, !»ut closing i their orders with the magic "Hurry up!" How delightfully characteristic of the nation is the phrase! It is not to be wondered at that the newcomers from the slow moving old world find that they have brought over nothing to equal It. "All right" rivals "hurry up," not because foreign tongues lack similar ; expressions, but. because there is a jol ly. hail fellow well met air about "All right" lackiug in other phrases of the same character. Then. too. "All right" takes the place not only of "Good," but of "Yes" and"l understand" and of a dozeu other phrases which in other languages require separate expressions. The third phrase, which alone shares the popularity of the first two, is, "It's nice." This should be Interesting to purists who wish to restrict "nice" to Jts first and original meaning of "ex act." No word of ancestry sufficiently aristocratic to please tliein takes the place of "nice" in its colloquial mean ing, and foreigners clasp it with joy, wholly ignorant of the fact that they ; are outraging the feelings of anybody i by so doing. Other phrases besides ] "Hurry up," "All right" and "It's nice" i captivate the fancy of the newly land : ed, but these three reign supreme.— New York Tribune. I'erional Klemejit* of Sneer**.

There never has been a time when the individual has stood for so much as he does at present. There has never been a time when individuality and personal initiative brought such amazing rewards. There never has been a time when the individual could or did exert so much influence as at present. There is no individual today so insignificant that, if he became the medium of a new or potent ideal, he would be prevented by uncontrollable conditions from expressing his Idea and reaping his just reward. In all ages up to this man has been, owing to his limitations of physical force, a plaything of conditions, a slave of his environment.

A writer in a scientific periodical states that it is not generally known that fruit acids are germicidal. "The juice," he says,"of limes and lemons is as deadly to cholera germs as cor- I rosive sublimate or sulphur fumes or formaldehyde or any other disinfectant. It is so powerful a germicide that if the juice of one lime or lemon be squeezed into a glass of water that is then left standing for ten or fifteen minutes the water will Lie disinfected. It makes little difference where the water has been obtained or whether it has been boiled or filtered." As boiled or filtered water is not always obtain able this is worth remembering.

It is through the mouth that most malignant germs find their way into the body, and therefore one would think that it was hardly necessary to warn people against the risks they are running in using it as a sort of third hand.

The form most frequently report ed to was that known as the wooden horse, to ride wliieh was the punish ment accorded for petty thefts, in subordination and so on. The wooden horse was made of planks nailed to gether so as- to form a sharp ridge or angle about eight or nine feet long. This ridge represented the back of the horse and was supported by four posts or legs about five feet high placed on a stand made movable by truckles. To complete the resemblance to the no blest animal in creation a head and tail were added. When a soldier was sentenced, either by court martial or by his commanding officer, to l ide the horse, he was placed on the brute's back, with bis hands tied behind him, and frequently enough, in order to increase the pain, muskets were fastened to his legs to weigh them down or, as was jocularly said, to prevent the fiery, untamed, bare backed steed from kicking him off.— London Oranhjc I'Hrentnl Economy.

"Speaking of insurance matters,** said a listener, "1 suppose the plain, old fashioned nail has caused more tires in the big establishments where machinery is used in many and com plicated ways than any other little thing in existence. The only thing needed is for il to come in contact with some other hard material with sulii cient force to cause a spark and heat generation. Nails have really produced a heavy per cent of the cotton fires of the country. During recent years, on account of steps taken by the owners and conductors of the larger cotton and byproduct plants at the instance of in surance men. the nail has not been such a prolific producer of fires. "A way has been found, for instance, in cotton gins, cotton mills and in plants where cottonseed are put through manufacturing processes, of extracting nails and other weighty and flinty substances that may find- lodg ment. in these Inflammable products. Gravity is the natural force used. Nails and rocks and materials of this kind are heavier than cotton and its by products, and they have a tendency to force their way to the bottom of the heap, l'.y allowing these products to pass over a rolling belt arrangement these heavier materials filter toward the bottom and are finally extracted, so that when the cotton or the cotton seed passes through the grind in the various manufacturing processes there is but little danger from tire so far as these things are concerned."—New Or leans Times-Democrat.
