QUEER DEFINITIONS. An Early Eightaanth Century interpreter of Hard Words. Bailey’s Universal Etymological Dictionary, with the subtitle, “Ao Interpreter'of Hard Words.” was first putr listed in London in I<2L Most of its definitions are eccentric, and some of them incredibly so. Here are specimens plucked at random: Man—A creature endowed with rtason. Thunder—A noise known by persons not deaf. Lightning—A metvur. A Rainbow—A meteor of divers colors. Weapon Salve—A sort of ointment which is said to cure a wound by being applied to the sword or other weapon that made the wound. Balloon—A football; also a great ball with which noblemen and princes use to play. Cow—A beast well known. Milk—A food well known. Peacock —A fine bird. Elephant—The biggest strongest and most intelligent of all four footed beasts. Medlar.—A fruit which is grateful to the stomach, but is not ripe till it be rotten. Snow—A meteor well known in northerly and southerly climates, especially beyond the tropics. Mouth—Part of the body of a living creature. Eye—An instrument of death.

Ornaments of the Peerage. Lord Lyreden is an ardent peerage reformer and tells an anecdote in this connection for whose authenticity he pledges himself. This narrates how a famous statesman of the nineteenth century was called upon to visit his son in prison. He bitterly reproached him, remarking, "Here am L having worked my way up from a mldCle class home to a great position, and when I die you will be the greatest blackguard in the peerage." The son listened quietly and then replied, with terrible irony, “Yes—when you die." Another of Lord Lyveden’s peerage stories is equally piquant The son of a peer applied to a friend In the north of England for a housekeeper and was recommended a certain Mrs. Brown. The peer wrote to the woman accordingly to the effect that having learned particulars of her character, he was willing to engage her as bls housekeeper and making an appointment for her to call and see him on a certain date. The good woman replied: My Lord—From what I have learned of your character I decline to enter your house. I am your lordship's obedient servant ANNE BROWN. —Westminster Gazette. The Plays Mixed. During one of his tours in this country. when the late Sir Henry Irving was playing "Twelfth Night” In New York, he revealed absentmindedness and greatly amused the members of his company and the audience. As Malrollo he was expressing surprise at a remark of Sir Toby. “Do you know what you bay?” he asked. To his surprise, a roar of laughter echoed through the house, and his stage associates were convulsed. He repeated the line, putting undue emphasis on the pronoun, and again the audience shouted with laughter. It was not until after the performance he learned that quite unconsciously he had been parodying the well known words of "The Private Secretary.” His only explanation was that it was done in a bit of forgetfulness while thinking of the other play.— Chicago Record-Herald.

A FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST Gives Advice to Women Lacking in Energy and Vitality. Thousands of women are using toilet preparations unsuccessfully. Cosmetics fail to improve their thick, muddy complexions or to banish the pimples, blackheads and crow'sfeet. No wonder. Their trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They have bad blood, and bad blood in 90 per cent of the cases arises from inflammation of the mucous membrane. Their blood is filled with poison which is certain to break out in unsightly humors and blotches —while pale, drawn faces, deep circled eyes, stooping shoulder and weak backs complete the story of suffering and despair. Inflammation of the mucous membrane is catarrh. Banish catarrh and complexions will celar as if by magic, pain vanish, eyes will brighten, faces become plump and erect. Perfect beauty goes only with perfect health, and perfect health for
