A handy word much misused ti
"phenomenon." Tho London Globe
once heard a man explaining Its mean
ing to a friend. He did It as follow:
"Now, If you see a cow In a medder,"
he said didactically, "that's not a phi
nonieena. It's a pretty animal and
what not, but It aiu't a phlnomeena.
And If you see a thistle lu a medder
that ain't a phlnomeena. Nor If you
see a lark lu the medder that ain't a
phlnomeena. It's a pretty bird and
what not, but It ain't a phlnoiuocna.
But If you was to sec that cow sitting
on that thistle aud singing like that
lark that would be a plnomeena." His
friend said yes, ho saw quite plainly
now.
