When the young man from Florida
came to live In New York, he woke up
one morning last winter, and. going tu
the window, lie looked out 011 what was
to him a novel scene. It was a snow
storm, the tlrst he had ever seen.
Jumping Into his clothes, he ran lnr
the street. He stooped and gathered
handfuls of snow and threw them In
the air. He Jumped Into a drift and
sent It flying with his feet. He finally
lay down and rolled In It. all the time
shouting and laughing at the top of his
voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered
to watch bis antics went up to him and
told him how his mother used to cure
fits and volunteered to try It on him.

young man.
"What! Too never snw snow be

"Never. Seems strange to you. duu't

"It beats any anmple of verdancy I

Speaking of the use of quotation
marks, the London Chronlclo says:
But why all these Inverted commas,
ho silly trick of pepierlng pages with
these uncouth bacilli?" You will And
none of these bacilli in the Bible. Take
this passage, chosen at random:
Now Jesus k-jew that they were
desirous to ask him, and said unto
them. Do ye Inquire among yourselves
of that I said, A little while, and ye
shall not see me; and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me?
The modern compositor would set that
passage between two brackets of In
verted commaB, for it Is a quote within
a quote. But It Is beautifully clear as
It stands, and among all Biblical mis
understandings no one, we think, has
been misled by the absence of an In
verted comma.
