Vou can't judge of the quality of a book by the binding, nor tell the contents by the title. You look for the name of the author beforo yon buy the book. The name of Robert Lout vtevcr.ar.; v'for instance) on the back guarantees the inside of the book, whatever the outside may be. There's a parallel between books and bottles. The binding, or wrapper, of a bottle is no guide to the quality of the medicine the bottle contains. The title on the bottle is no warrant for confidence in the contents. It all depends on the author's name. Never mind who made the bottle. Who made the medicine? That's the question. Think of this when buying Sarsaparilla. It isn't the binding of the bottle or the name of the medicine that you 're to go by. That's only printer's ink and paper I The question is, who made the medicine? What's the author's name? When you see Ayer's name on a Sarsaparilla bottle, that's enough. The name Ayer guarantees the best, and has done so for 50 years.

The horse has been Rettin;; the "worst of it" for some time, first, he was found to bo edible and was made into sausa.e;;' and canned and sold in steaks and his hide made into cordova. Then electricity look away tin work of his old aire pulling street cars. And now the bicycle has further restricted his sphere of usefulness by depriving him of pulling the Sunday youii;' man and his best irl on their afternoon drives. Livery, which was his exclusive field, has been adopted by the impertinent wheel, and now, in the next stall to the horse, is the listenin bicycle, which needs neither oats nor bedding. Then. too. they have shared with him and the bicycle the honorable epithet "steed." and the jraudy wheel with its noiseless, sneaking rubber shoes is called the "noble iron steed," etc.. ad nauseam. The future of the horse is indeed dismal. The crowning insult, however, went unresented the other day. Down (2 rand avenue rid led a man on a wheel, lead- - ' - -n r. -r ... , is.-'S .1 ! I I-!

ORIGIN OF CURIOUS WORDS.

Some Ordinary Impression Which Came Into Use ina Singular Manner. One need not search far !n the dictionary to lind curious words. Most words have an interesting history as to development and change of sense, and the regular processes of formation by compounding different elements into one new vocable are very interesting as u study. If you desire to know the English language well and to be able to express thought clearly you cannot afford to neglect the study of etymology. One of the most interesting discoveries made by the student of etymology will bo the unaccountable origin, or rather the utter absence of systematic origin, of some of the commonest "words. Thus, gas is a name that has never been explained, beyond the niero statement that it was invented by a iP.olgiaii chemist named Van Ib linont. jtJuosses have been made about what suggested it to him. but he gave no information as to its source, but merely wrote in Latin: "Thi.; vapor, hitherto unknown. I will call by u new name, gas." Certain snakes are called adders. Is It not a curious fact that the name adder originated simply through erroneous understanding of sound".' The Anglo-Saxon word was naedre. and the (lerman is natter. Adder comes from misunderstanding a uadder as an adder, and the Century dictionary says that apron, anger, orange and umpire arose through a similar mistake. .lust opposite to this peculiar change from nadder to adder is that which gives the name newt for w hat used to be an cwt. A common saying is that a surprised person is taken aback. This is said to have originated from the same expression used nautica'ly. as in saying that sails arc taken aback when they are driven by the. wind against the mast. Probably it would be hard to prove that cither of the sayings had its origin in the other, for they both use the word aback in its literal sense backward. Aback and similar words discloM a cu rious fact in their etymology, namely, that the first syllable is merely a letter that stands for the original AngloSaxon word on. which meant not only what our present "on"' means, but also at, to. in. into, or utmost an thing of that kind, according to circumstances. Accord, concord and discord come from what seems a queer thing to sug-t gest such words for the sense in which they have always been used. In each the second syllable is from the Latin word heart. Accord In its elements means "to the heart." Ileal agreement or harmony must have beim considered so sweet and so rare that the onlv fit ting name for it must contain that of the heart as the seat of human affection. Caprice and capricious see in to ariso from the fact that people could find no better comparison for certain actions than the capering of a goat. The ety mology of these words that innects them with the Latin word for goat is questioned by the Century dictionary, but there is no doubt that caper is from that Latin word. Pilgrims were so called for a very queer reason, and the word was used Ina queer way. They walked through the land, and. as this was their prominent characteristic, it suggested the name for them, which is made from the Latin words per. meaning through, and agor, meaning land. Philadelphia Times. Cripplo! !y lrayliij. The first instance on record of ho constancy of prayer having a bad effect is reported from Chattanooga, Teiin. A revival has been going on there for several months. Kev. W. 1 Levy has been the most zealous worker in the cause. He believes in praying nearly all the time. For three months lie has spent from three to four hours a day on bis knees. Now he is laid up in bed, unable to walk, and Dr. W. T. 1'ain of that city, who was called to see him, is authority for the statement that he injured himself by throwing himself on his knees too much and staying there too long.-Chicago Inter Ocean. Jorrold's Sarcasm. Among the sayings attributed tn Douglas .Jerrold is a very bitter one ho applied to Mark Lemon, then editor of Punch. Lemon was deeply attached to Dickens, and showed it in a very open fashion, which perhaps aroused the great satirist's jealousy. At all events, as Jerrold was walking out one day with Lemon and another friend, and Dickens with several more behind them. Lemon suddenly drooped away and turnpd back. "What has become of Punch?' aked Jorrold's companion. "Did you not hear Dickens whistle?" was the cynical reply; "Dickens jays the dog-tax for Lemon." A Child' Petition. A ioor little damsel had trouble with her mother not long ago. The direct consequence was that she was sent into her own room for meditation and, supposedly, repentance. A listener happened to overhear the mite's detiance, when she thought herself unobserved and alone. She threw herself on her knees Ix'foro her bill nnd, burying her face in the pillow, began :t prayer for guidance. Hut the petition had this very significant commencement: "O Lord, consider ho'.v I'm treated!" New York Times. AVili Make fencer Miotic.
