." VOICES FROM THE SEA.
Common PhratM That Havo Had Their
Origin Aboard Ship.
It Is remarkable what a number of
common expression In use every dny
come to ns from the sea. You trrnmbla
at a tlilrJ party for "shoYlng lu bis'
oar" in a conversation. A friend In
quires after your health, "oh, first
rate, thanks!" you reply, using a term
derived from the days of old wooden
line of battle ships, rrobably each of
us knows of some one who Is "sailing
under fals colors."
Politicians are not Infrequently
"thrown overboard" by their party
when they disappoint expectations. We
call tall buildings "skyscrapers," a
terra originally purely nautical. "Close
quarters" Is a Tery common expres
sion, which, like "first rate," dates
from the time of wooden fighting
ships. The "quarters" were protec
tions erected along the bulwarks be
hind which sailors could lie low and
whk-h were used to help to repel
boarders.
There are others, too "half seas
over," for Instance, and "high and
dry." Ilonest men are said to be
"aboveboard." We call a good for
nothing man a "derelict," and we urge
people to go "full speed ahead" on all
occasions when we mean there Is need
for baste.
DEAD SEA BATHING.
It Must Bt Horrlbts Torturo, Accord
ing to This Aocount.
In an article on bathing In the Dead
sea a clergyman who has made the ex
periment says: "No sooner has one
plunged Into the water than one Is
whipped off one's feet and goes bob
bing helplessly about; like a wretched
cork. In the effort to regain one's foot
ing and get back to shore one's feet
and shins are barked by the Jagged
stones and pebbles, and when at length
one does emerge from Its treacherous
bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding
and torn, one becomes aware of a hor
rible tingling and burning sensation In
eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth and almost
very pore of the skin from the brine
and bitumen which have penetrated
everywhere. Unless great care Is tak
en the bather In the Dead sea Is liable
to an eruption, which breaks out all
over the body and which Is commonly
known as the 'Dead sea rash.' The
best antidote to this Is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor
dan and to take a second plunge there
in. The soft and muddy waters of that
acred but dirty stream will effectually
remove the salt that has incrusted the
body." New York Tribuno.
His AtUmpt Was Void.
They had been having a discussion
concerning the necessity or otherwise
of purchasing a now silk dress In order
to be on a level with the De Moneys
next door. Banks bad vetoed the pur
chase on the ground of extravagance
and want of funds, and his wlfo was
much put out
"Dinner ready, my dear?" be asked
In his most conciliatory manner. Her
face had been Ilka a stale thunder
storm ever since the disagreement, and
Banks wanted to change It
"Yes," answered Mrs. B. shortly.
"Must try again," Bald Banks to him
self. Then aloud: "Ah, I'm glad of
that, my love. I have what the poets
would call 'an aching void,' Sarah."
"You often suffer from headache,"
she returned In a cutting tone.
Banks drew his cbalr up to the table
with unnecessary noise and refrained
from further attempts at conciliation
for the rest of the day. Pearson's
Weekly.
Appreolat the Worth of Sleep.
The amount of sleep required by a
person can be determined better by
the effects obtained than by the num
ber of houra consumed, for It differs
greatly with age and the condition of
health. Few fallacies are more dan
gerous than that which la often adopt
ed by busy people, more especially by
those engaged in scientific or other
forms of Intellectual work, when they
assume that the duration of sleep Is
largely a matter of convenience. The
barmfulnesa of deficient sleep may not
reveal itself until the age of decline
has been reached, but It will surely
hasten the decline.
It Had to Come.
Mrs. Cakebread was entertaining
some ladles at a select little 5 o'clock
tea, and Bobby, who had been excep
tionally well behaved, was In high
feather.
"Ma," he said as cake was being
handed around, "may I havo some
tongue, please?"
"There Isn't any tongue, Bobby."
"That's funny," commented Bobby.

A Remarkable Church.
A. small watering place In Austria
named Elchwald can boast of possess
ing a most remarkable church. It was
first built by an Italian architect at
Venice at the expense of Prince Carlos
Clary-Aldringen, a great admirer of
Italian architecture. When it was fin
ished, the church was taken to pieces
again and packed in thousands of num
bered cafes for transportation to Elch
wald. "v't t'da place in Austria It was
evenh,.- rebuilt and then made over

A Frott Desolated Land.
I learned from an eyewitness some
thing about Spitsbergen, that desert
nrctlc Island COO miles north of the
North cape of Norway and within 700
miles of the north pole; a frost desolat
ed land, where the grass grows longer
than the trees and huge glaciers in the
Ice bridged valleys amid the jagged
mountains move majestically down In
to the sea until mighty Icebergs, a
monstrous birth, break off and rise
l the surface amid thunderous reports
- once the only sound that broke the
profound silence of those awful soli
tudes. Spltzbergen Is the only spot of
earth that Is positively known as No
Man's land. It Is the possession of
t o country and bas nothing even ra
i euibllng a specified government The
1 land seems likely to remain No
Man's Land, though It Is said that an
effort has been made by Norway to
establish some sort of protectorate over
It. National Magazine.
Edward lll.'s Drum Corps.
Probably Introduced from the east,
'Is frequently mentioned In the accounts
of the first crusade. When Edward
III. and his queen made their trium
phal entry Into Calais, "tambours," or
drums, were among the Instruments
which were played In their honor. An
other of these was called a "naker,"
or kettledrum, taken, together with Its
name, from the Arabs. The poet Chan
cer also mentions this Instrument In
bis description of the tournament in
the "Knlghtes Tale:"
Fifes, trompes, nakerei and olarlounea.
That In the batallle blowen blody sounes.
The king generally kept a troop of
those bandsmen or minstrels In his
employ, and we read that Edward II.
on one occasion gave a sum of 00
shillings to Roger the trumpeter, Janlno
the nakerer and others for their per
formances. Chambers' Journal.
The Soul and the Beard.
Iu Russia it was the common belief
up to the time of Peter the Great that
beardless men were also soulless and
that a man who purposely admitted
having his beard marred could never
enter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathens to
"shave up," so as to appear more civi
lized, and when they refused to comply
with his edict ho fined the wealthy and
middle classes 100 rubles for each
beard that was permitted to grow and
each peasant and laborer a kopeck for
the same privilege. Finally the priests
with appealed to, and they Informed
tholr parishioners that unless they sub
mitted to hnvlng tholr beards shaved
they need not expect that St. Nicholas,
the gatekeeper of heaven, would be
able to distinguish thera from the
bearded Turks. That had the desired
effect.
" Cinnamon Topers.
Both cinnamon and cassia contain
tannin, and too much of either has the
panic effect as excessive tea drinking.
There are cinnamon and cassia topers
who are as much addicted to the habit
of chewing the bark as some men are
to chewing tobacco. The cinnamon
topers acquire their habit chiefly from
working In the woods stripping the
bark from the trees and drying it It
Is graded by men who taste a tiny mor
sel of each lot. At first this causes the
lips and throat to swell, but In time
this undesirable effect overcomes Itself,
and a genuine love for the bark is ac
quired. American Regard For Women.
Toward women the American man's
attitude is line. She is neither his
deity nor his doll. He simply treats
her with deference. Ills chivalry has
ns little to do with saccharine utter
ances, acraplng feet and bended knees
as has his patriotism with hysterical
shriektoRs and the waving of ensan
guined flags. LIpplncott's.
