An Expressive 8entence In Which It Was Badly Twisted, The professor of English, who was taking a vacation trip on horseback through the bills, bud occasion to make notes of a good many quaint and In teresting expressions employed by the sturdy mountaineers. The one that pleased him most was a striking use of the little word "but." The party had ridden for hours and bad not found a single Inn. They were hungry, and one of the guides suggest ed tbot It might be possible to get a bite to eat at one of the mountaineers' huts. 'I know you can get corn bread tiiere," be said. The professor volunteered to go with the guide to a hut high upon the moun tain side In quest of the corn bread. A dilapidated garden fence surrounded the hut, and when the gate squeaked on Its hinges n dog began barking. Si multaneously a fat woman edged her way through the door and approached the men at the gate. 'What d' yo'-all want?" she called. 'Madam," said tho professor, "would you be so kind as to tell ns whether we can get uny corn bread here?" "Cort bread!" "Yes, corn bread." he repented. "We'd like to buy some of you if you have any." "Corn bread? Com bread, did yo' say?" Then she chuckled to herself, and her manner grew more amiable. "Why, if corn bread's all yo' want, come right In, for that's Just what l hnin't got nothing else on baud but." Boston liernld. BOSTON HARBOR FROZE. PERPETUAL MOTION IDEAS. Efforts of Inventors Who Strain After the Unattainable. rerpotual motion, like the philoso pher's stone, is one of those tilings reg ularly sought after. Years ago It was proved thnt the Idea was absurd, yet only a week or so ago another Inventor come forward with a new perpetual motion notion. Some of these perpetual motion ma chines are certainly extremely Ingen ious. One man thought be had discov ered a way to run omnibuses by them selves. He had cylinder of water placed Just above the axles, and on these cylinders was supported the whole weight of the bus and passen gers. Pipes led from this water to the back of the bus, curved round and ended In the back board of the bus. i . . . , " me more passengers mere were the greater the pressure on the cylinders of water and the faster the How of the water to the back of the bus. The faster, too, will the bus rush forward; At least, sn vHid U Inventor, who ac tually tm.fc nut a patent for his Idea Needles m say, no sm b buses are numlm; Another ingenious Idea was n wheel wttli narrow shelves instead of spokes I i i'iii Ii shelf was a lend hall, and the Inventor claimed tlr.t once the uhwl was started the halls on the falliii" side kept rtiinilni: toward ilu. ,.ii...,,,. ference and o outwci-liod those on the rlslnu side, whl.-li rn n toward Hi,, center il-ii-e started I tin w'i,.i ,i.t keep nn (orcver. fntortunatelv li nl ways sir. nil,., after few ttitiis Pearson's i ;.,;v. But That Didn't Keep the Britannia From Sailing on Time. Boston harbor froze over In January of 1844. and the advertised sailing of the Britannia, then in dock, seemed surely to be impossible.' But the mer chants of Bostou would not have it so. They met and voted to cut a wuy, at their own expense, through the Ice, that the steamer might sail practically on time. The contract for cutting the neces sary channels was given to merchants engaged, like Frederick Tudor. In the export of Ice. but not Ice cut from the harbor. Theii task was to cut within the space of three days a channel about ten miles long. For tools they bad the best machinery used in cutting fresh wnter Ice. and horsepower was em ployed. The Ice was from six to twelve Inches In thickness. As the Advertiser of Feb. 2. 1S44. de scribed the scene: "A great many per sons have been attracted to our wharfs to witness the operations and the curi ous spectacle of the whole harbor fro zen over, mid the ice has been covered by skaters, sleds nud even sleighs. Tents and booths were erected upon the Ice. and some parts of the harbor bore the appearance of a Itussiau holi day scene." On Feb. 3 the work was done, and the Brltanuia, steaming slowly through the lane of open water, lined on either side by thousands of cheering specta tors, made her way to the sea. Catholic Church.
