There is a taste in literature. JotRi there is a taste in dress or a fine 9.ns of discrimination in the choice of one's surround'i g and in the fittings of ona's home. A' man can be judged largely by the books he reads, and nothing, per naps, affords the stimulus for mental activity ami material Intellectual advancement as the effort made to understand the merits of the standard literature of the day. Many literary works of real merit are w,rttten In a style that place? these books far beyond the aomprehennic n of t'le av erage reader. The secrets of success! ul oratory nra fores and eitec Kenes of de liver' and the oholco of - en language only as may be easily umk rstood lay the average well-Informed listener. The .great est orators are tho men who know how to use the plainest lariguage to the best effect. Men- in the firs Tank as suc cessful orators seldom use b.g words, and their conclusions are all so clearly and simply drawn that the force of their ut terances appeal alike to the student and to the man whose analytical powers of reasoning do not permit, him to encroach on the realm involving abstruse problems of thought that the man of wide reading alSne can master. Great orators, great editors and nearly all great writers axe men of simple, plain speech.

Some of Them Go Uncle to Classical Greece and Rome. New York Press. A learned German philologist recently has been tracing so-called slang phrases through the labyrinth of various Ian- the:t'asie-for mimM TbJJ 3t PoTtAi j PT.. jW- T7it pqrtlakD A$. of tho T good." gungas. and has found that many of them arc .of ancientutnd-soma of classical ori gin."1 like the famous phrase, "Het's a brick."

It was once the cvstom In France to serve to a guest who had outstayed his welcome a eold shoulder of mutton instead of a liot r6t, as a gentle hint to terminate hi visit. Hence the expression, "To glv the cold shoulder." Back in the days, of "Good Queen Bess." a shoemaker named Hawkins committed suicide by standing on a bucket to bring him nearer to the convenient rafUr which be had selected fbr his hanging place. Having made fast the rope he kicked the bucket away arid sn accomail-ned his purpose. Hence to "kick the bucket" In Puritan times a certain Hezeklaft Merton was In the habit of baking two or three dosen apple pies every Saturday, and arranging them in the pntry with labels .appropriating one or more pies for certain day-.
