uucivuonru is ap plied to thousands of carriages few people know how the word came to be used Back around 1S20 says the American i Vehicle in explaining it when the transportation of goods wares and merchandise was almost entirely by wagon a Dr Buck who for many years afterward was the military store keeper at Washington was in charge of military stores en route to army posts in the southwest In east Tennessee much difficulty was experienced by reason of the rough roads and there were frequent mis haps mostly from the wagons over turning Dr Buck overhauled the outfit and abandoning the wagon bodies long boards were set directly on the axles or hung below and the stores were loaded in such a manner that there were no further delays from break downs and the stores safely reached j their destinations In special gency too the load could be shifted i or taken off in a hurry The idea was probably not new but Dr Bucks example was followed especially when roads were rough and soon much hauling was done by the use of wheels axles and boards only Now we have the buckboard both in carriage and Automobile forms forming closely to the original though few suspect the source of San Francisco Chronicle HAD BEEN IN JAIL t 1 Va it Yet It Did Not Prejudice His Standing as a Witness An important case- was being tried before the criminal court of the Dis trict of Columbia An old negro was In the witness box The district attor ney commenced What is your name John Williams sah Are you the John Williams who was sent to the Albany penitentiary for larceny No sah not this John Are you the John Williams who was convicted of arson and sent to the Bal timore penitentiary IlYn col Have you ever been in any peniten tiary Yes sah All eyes were now turned upon the witness The district attorney smiled complacently and resumed How many times have you been in the penitentiary Twice sah Where In Baltimore sah How long were you there the first lime About two hours sah How long the second time asked the attorney rather crestfallen An hour sah I went there to whitewash a cell that was wanted for a lawyer who had robbed his client The attorney sat down amid the laughter of the spectators The Effort of His Life a Failure W S Gilbert had a novel experience before he wrote for the stage when he was a barrister waiting for his first brief It was long in coming and when it did come Mr Gilbert deter mined of course to make the effort of his life He was intrusted with the prosecu tion of an old Irish woman for stealing a coat and when he began the speech that he had prepared and rehearsed so carefully the old dame at once began to interject Oh ye divil sit down Sure now hes a loier yer honor Sit down ye spalpeen Hes known to all the perlice yer honor After some minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked the recorders intervention but that of ficial was too busy laughing So the effort of his life was not a success Present Giving Worse Than Tipping The trend of the times makes itself felt in the matter of presents and present giving In the days of our grandmothers these tokens of affection were few and far between and were marked by a stern simplicity But we have changed all that and the up to date riot of presents means a deadly drain on our bank balances The tipping tax is bad enough but the burden of countless presents can give it points and a beating London Tatler In a Bad Way You seem much upset my good raan remarked the curate who hap pened to call when Murkie was laying down the law somewhat emphatically to his family circle Hupset bellowed Murkie I should

District of Co lumbia in the territories and all places over which the national government has jurisdiction the repeal of the in ternal revenue tax on alcoholic liquors and the prohibition of the interstate traffic there The question of mak ing the District of Columbia dry ex cited a good deal of attention in con gress last winter and spring and be came a very live issue In the states themselves the nation could act on this question only through the submission by congress to the several common wealths of an amendment to the fed eral constitution prohibiting the man ufacture and sale of spirituous liquors for beverage purposes throughout the Union and this the Prohibitionists pledge themselves to do in case of their attaining success in a national election Their platform

Walpole said Mrs Blake I wish 1 could remember who told It Henry can you remem ber Was it Mr Sellers No said Blake stillly It wasnt Sellers I wonder If It could have been Mr Windsor io repeated Blake It wasnt Windsor Before Mr Blake had a chance to ex press an affirmative or negative opin ion of that hazard as to the source of the Walpole anecdote Mr Barton came in Mrs Blake being by that time sure of herself tried on him her rec ipe for winning universal affection Oh Mr Barton she said I am very glad to see you I have hardly stopped laughing since I saw you the last time Mr Barton a cadaverous man with solemn oyes looked rather foolish Indeed he said May I ask what about Over that funny story you told about Horace Walpole said Mrs Blake Horace Walpole stam mered Mr Barton I am afraid you must have got me mixed up with some body else I dont know the first thing about Horace Walpole and if I did know anything funny about him I couldnt tell it To tell a funny story is beyond my powers Even if It was funny to start with it wouldnt be by the time I got through with it Mrs Blakes spirits were somewhat dashed by her fiasco in finding an owner for the Walpole story but she bore up courageously and later when Mr Markham came in she drew him out of earshot of Mr Barton and dilat ed on the pleasure his story of Horace Walpole had given her Mr Markham was not cast In the funeral mold that gave to Mr Barton his grave aspect but he protested himself totally Inca pable of telling a funny story about Horace Walpole or anything else Presently Mrs Blake left the room to prepare the sandwiches Mr Blake followed her For the love of the Lord he said dont make a fool of yourself again by trying to get some other idiot in there to father that Walpole story I told you that yarn myself Mrs Blake stood still with carving knife poised in air You she said incredulously it was so clever too New And York a Rabid Gas That Nothing Can Resist The fury of the chemical world is the element fluorine although strange ly enough it exists peacefully in com pany with calcium in fluorspar and also in a few other compounds Although this element was known and named a good while ago it long resisted the efforts of chemists to iso late it that is prepare it in a pure state unmixed chemically with other substances for the instant the com pound containing it was torn apart the free fluorine attacked and combined with whatever substance composed the vessel containing it It was finally isolated by the great French chemist Moissan Fluorine is a rabid gas that nothing can resist It combines with all met als explosively with some or if they are already combined with some other nonmetalhc element it merciiessly tears them aAvay from it and takes them to itself In uniting with sodium potassium calcium magnesium and aluminium the metals become heated even to red ness by the fervor of its embrace Iron fillings slightly warm burst into brilliant scintillations when exposed to it Manganese does the same Even the noble metals which at melting heat proudly resist the fascinations of oxygen succumb to this chemical siren at moderate temperatures Glass is devoured at once and water ceases to be water by contact with this gas which combined with its hydro gen at the same moment forms the acrid glass dissolving hydrofluoric acid and liberates ozone Even hydrofluoric acid
