If I was to say to yer, ''Ere, Bill, give me that 'hand- sDike.' that wouldn't be a hanthem. But was I to say, Bill-Bill-Bill-giv-giv-giv civ-me. eive me that-Bill, giv me, that hand, giv me that hand, handspike, spike spike-Bill giv me that that handspike, hand-spike-spike-spike, ah men; Bill giv me that handspike-spike, ah men!' that would be a hanthem.'

Because women were prohibited from marrying in olden days until they had spun a full set of bed furnishings and thus until their marriage they spent much time at the spinning-wheel and were, therefore 'spinsters." Wby are we unable to see when we turn from bright light to a darker object? Because when we look at a bright light the iris, or colored protecting curta n con tracts around the pupil (which is only a window), thus keeping to mush light from striking the retina or sensativepart of the eye. As loon as the eye is turned to darker object, the pupil is so small that it does not admit a sufflciedt number of rays to enable us to see. We must wait a few seconds for it to exp ind. Why do clergymen habitually wear black? Because when Martin Luther in 1 524 laid aside the htbit of a monk and adopted the style of dress prevailing at, the time the Elector of Saxony used to send to him from time to time pieces of black cloth, that color then being fashionable at the court Luther's disciples thot because he wore black. It became them to do so, and thus it came about that the cleigy gener ally grew to regard it as the oniy proper color for them to wear.
