The leniency with wlllch some school tenchers look on the use of slang, as reported In various Interviews, may shock those of un nge to have secured their Idea of correct English from the McGufTey series of readers. It Is true that the selections composing those rcuders were of an era wherein' the langunge was at variance with what Is heard today. It may have been stilted, but it did not corrupt the mind of the pupil. In fact, many persons got from tho old fifth and sixth readers their knowledge of good literature. There was not a word resembling slang In the books, It Is true that slang Is expressive. That Is why It Is used. Yet much of It quickly passes out of use because It It overworked. Few words suffer a Mike fate, though occasionally under stress of circumstances a word of credltnble origin Is repeated to tho point where it becomes necessary to discard It because It Is "shopworn. Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. Express Dragon Files. When wo come to birds, we find many very high speeds. Swifts havo been known to overtake an airplane hi (light. Their speed bus been calcu lated to evceed one hundred miles an hour sometimes. The racing pigeon has on several occasions done short Journeys at sixty miles an hour. The golden plover Is very speedy, but his turning, twisting flight makes It dllll cult to time him accurately oxer any distance. Tlie pheasant, though ho does not look a eery rapid lller, can do 45 miles un Uuiir. Among Insects, the most rapid Is probably the dragon-fly, who docs as much as 30 miles an hour In his swift dashes from place lo place. The lice Is capable of traveling at a speed of 20 miles an hour, and he achieves It by beating his wings more than 000 times a second sixty beats for every yard he travels. Gauges Food by Cans. Dlngley, who halls from the West and is merely u sojourner In the big city, sees all sorls of things to make him wonder, "Out whore I come from when you ask a waiter about the slowness of the service he always tells you 'It's on the lire.' But It's different here. A few evenings ago I ordered pork and apple snuco. The pork ciuuo In duo time, but the apple sauce was uiIhs lug. I Inquired about It and the waiter replied : 'I'll have It for you In a min ute. Just opening u fresh can.'
