Out of Tuns.
A piano tuuei employed by a city
firm was sent to a certain suburb to
tuue a piano. He found the instru-
men! In good condition aud not lu the
least need of attention. A few days
later the flrm received a letter from
the owner of tb» piano, a lady of mu­
sical Intention, saying that the piano
bad not been properly tuned. It was
uo better titan before. After receiving
a reprimand front his employer the
hapless tuner made another trip to the
suburbs and again tested every note
only to find, as before, uo fault with
the Instrument. This time he told the
lady so.

The Word “Canvassing.”
How "canvassing" got Its election
signiflcauce is oue of the unsolved
puzzles of etymology. The word ap­
pears originally to have meant tossing
in a canvas or blanket and thence gen­
erally mishandling or assuultlug. "I'll
canvass thee in thy broad cardinal's
hat,” is the [>uke of Gloucester's
threat to the bishop of Winchester in
“King Henry VI.” The next stage of
meaning was that of destructive criti­
cism. from which to thorough discus­
sion—"canvassing" a subject—was sim­
ple enough. But how exactly did it
arrive at the election sense? I>r. John­
son explained that the term meant
“trying votes previously to tlie deci­
sion" aud derived it from “canvas, as

For breakfast we have a cereal,

a simple dessert; for dinner we have
a soup, chicken or roast meat, two

THE ENGLISH NAVY.
Fighting Ships Used to B. Hired Out
In Times of Peace.
In the earliest times of the British
navy there was practically no distinc­
tion between the merchantman and
the man-of-war. in the rare times of
pence men-of-war traded as merchant­
men. while merchantmen always went
armed. Thus in time of war the
trader became the warship, and vice
versa. From the time of the conquest
and probably earlier down to the days
of Elizabeth this was the ordinary
practice. Elizabeth hired out ships of
the uavy for all sorts of purposes,
from piracy to slave trading, taking
her share of the profits when the ven­
ture Was successful and disclaiming
all responsibility when It wasn't.
Henry III., who may l>e described as
the originator of the navy as a special
fighting force, hired out the ships site­
daily built for the navy In times of
peace nnd even allowed them to be
taken away from their appointed sta­
tions provided that the hirers depos­
ited due security for the return of the
ships with tbelr tackle and all equip­
ment in a proper state of efficiency.
The practice ceased after the repulse
of the Spanish armada, when the fight­
ing ships, as such, became distinct
from the trader.—London Globe.
Plant Misers.
All leaf buds, whether underground
or on the bare branches of winter, are
plant savings put aside from the su-
perflulty of summer agalust the pro­
verbial rainy day.
The starch of
which such organisms consist is tc tiie
plant what his savings are to the pru­
dent man. uud the common potato Is
one of the greatest misers of the vege­
table world In this respect for almost
the whole of the tuber is made up of
starch food, left as a legacy to the
young plants represented by the
“eyes." This is true of all plants that
grow from bulbs.
Some go further, for they run a sav­
ings bank in the shape of a taproot,
which, if left undisturbed, grows lar­
ger year by year, to be drawn upon in
seasons of drought when othec means
of sulisistence are exhausted. Among
these are primroses, carrots, beetroot
and turnips, and with these three last
this faculty of saving has been devel­
oped by man to make the plants •
source of profit to himself.
History of Anstomy.
The way in which we are so “fear­
fully and wonderfully made” was
largely a mystery to the ancients, It
may be said that anatomical science
was practically unknown prior to Aris­
totle. 384 B. C. Before that date near­
ly all that was known of anatomy was
derived from the dissection of the low­
er animals. Aristotle did something
in the way of science, but It was not
until the time of the famous Alexan­
drian school, a century before and •
century after the birth of Christ, that
the anatomy of man began to be fair­
ly understood. The Ptolemies were
great patrons of the science and were
the first who enabled physicians free­
ly to dissect the human body, thus
frustrating the Ignorant superstition
which had been so long compromising
the welfare of humanity.—Exchange.
