Objected to Common Term. "Billingsgate” is an accepted tern for vituperative language. A speakoi to a political club wished to vary this expression tn chiding an oppo nent, and criticized him for uslui "fishmarket language.” Thereupon another member rose and protested against this phrase. “I have been a fish dealer for thirty years,” he said, “and have never heard any bad language used in my business. The fish business la • respectable one, and should not be the subject of a slur." Kverybody to Hie Taste. Different tastes .demand different breeds; one fancier will favor the pet another the sporting strain. In select Inga dog, the buyer should insist on one with a pedigree. This guarantees that his breeding has been right; that his ancestors were bred right; that he 1 has oat been inbred, and that you have a dog with a good future. They may cost more, but you have a dog that you can place tn competition at any authorized kennel show and help build up better dogs in your community. I I Was Not to Be Caught. My niece was left alone with the baby for the first time while my sister went to the store. Her mother had cautioned her not to open the door for anyone.

Elizabeth started to the doer and then, thinking better of it, said, ”0, no. thatfs the way Little Red Riding Hood was fooled.’’—Exchange. ——' \ Primary Colors. The seven primary colors are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. White is the combination of all ’ of these, and black 1b the absence of all. Popularly speaking, white and black are colors like the others named above, but science regards white as the reflection of all the seven prlmary solors, and black as the absorption of all and reflection of none. ,■ 4.
