"Now. dearie." said the nurse, "1 want you to learn this nice little poem about "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.'" "Shan'tH answered the Boston child, much In the manner of other children. "Ob. naughty, nanghty! Why, Wal do, why won't you learn this pretty poem 7" -For two reasons," answered Waldo. "In tbe first place, the alliteration of the line you quote ts so excessive as to destroy any literary finish that surb adventitious aids to metric compost tlon might lend if used more sparingly And, In tbe second place, consider tbe Impossibility of picking peppers which have already been pickled. The whole thing Is beneath tbe attention of any Intelligent person." Boston Traveler. 8ailora Queer Customs, Tbe sailors' broad collars were de vised so that tbe powder or tar on the wearer's cues should not come off on tbe blouses. In those days every sailor wore bis hair In a cue and either had the cue powdered or held together by tar. This was not good for tbe blouse or Jacket underneath. So de tachable broad collars were added. Bailors stopped wearing cues a cen tury ago. But tbey still wear tbe wide collar. Wben Lord Nelson died the British navy went Into mourning for blm. Sailors pot broad black rib bons on their caps and black ribbons on their blooses. And the ribbons re main to this day not only on tbe uni forms of British sailors, bnt on those of other navies as well Tbe broad "bell shaped" ends of sailors' trousers legs were thus shaped so that tbe wearer might more easily turn his trousers op sbove bis knees wben be had to swab tbe decks. Deck swab bing was a ba-teful and supposedly de grading task. Hence tbe sailors call ed their enemies "swabs" as a term of contempt I'OLET GRILL TO ADD SERTICI UCginnlufr ext Vk will Re Open Intil 1 O'Clock A. 3T.
