Fvntnn Recently at the first annual Am- erican Education Week Exposition in New York. an address was made by Dr. Thomas Darlington, former Health Commissioner of New York. Dr. Darlington offered what he called his “Ten Health Comand- merits.” They were: 1. Keep your mouth closed when breathing also when angry. '2. Drink cool water with your meals, also between them. 3. .Bathe daily, a shower if pos- sible. 1:. Bat slowly, this leads to eating sparingly. Make your meal a cere- monial pleasure. 5. Exercise daily and breathe deeply while so doing. but avoid nvol‘ mun-lion and never eat when 5. Exercise deeply while nvpr exm‘tion fatigued. iness while eating. 7.

One. day a farmer went to the country fair. and his hard-working wife remained at home to see that the. farm sufl'ered no loss during his absence. He returned about dark, roming out on the porch, he inquired: “I‘m about tired out, Mary. Is the cows in the barn?” “Yes. long since.” replied the wife. “Is the bosses unharnessed ,an’ fed?" 66Yes.97 "“Fowls locked up?” “Yes.” ““Ewood chopped for mornin’?” Q. 7e8.99 “Be them ducks plucked an’ ready for market?” "Wiéon wheel mended an’ ready to start hauling wood tomorrow morning?” .“'Afl ” -‘v “Well. then.” he concluded, with a sigh of relief; “let me have my supper.

D.-â€"you can‘t catch a cold It is the cold that catches p you. There must be a lot of slow- ' pokes in town, then, judging by the f number who have been caught. To t these, poor unfortunates, I want to t give some advice before they run 1 to the doctor with the usual an- I nouncement, “Oh, dotter. I’ve a naw- ‘ lul told in my bet.” First, if you i have a cold, you do not want, the natural thing to do is to give it 1 away. If one person won't take it .1 all. divide it in small portions and j pass it out to everybody you meet. , When talking to anybody, be sure to get as close to them as possible ’ and talk directly in their faces. This plan seldom fails. Another good » way to give away a cold is to wait until you are surrounded by a num- ,. her of people who cannot escape, and . then uncork a real healthy sneeze. Two sneezes will give better results. Coughing down the hack of people’s l necks in movie shows is certain to ‘ bring results. The germs. once down a person‘s hack. can’t find their way out. so take up housekeeping and ' raise a family right where they are. Here's another bright thought: Pick 1 up and kiss every baby you meet. 1 Hundreds of women give their colds away in this manner. If you’re 1. young enough to have a beau or a belle. you’ve a dandy method of giv- '. ing away a cold first hand. Make a a bridge of your lips. and the germs‘ P will do the rest. This is another d guaranteed plan. And if you want. - to be real generous when it comes to sharing your cold with others. you might combine some of the _ above suggested methods. Of course 1' few people will thank you for giving ; them a nice fat. cold. but. then every- 1-; thing good for us. is being forced on i us these days by eluhs. associations e and governments whether we want if it or notâ€"so don‘t be stingy with h your cold. Pass it. around. 5 Of particular interest was the re- oont discussinn in the House of clummons of the two-party system in Federal politics, for it gave to Hon. (Mn-go P. Graham. Minister of Railways and Canals, to Rt. Hon. Ar- thur Mcighen and to two or three members 01' the ng‘mssiw grnun an Opportunity to state clearly the attitude of the various groups to the present political systgm. _ “I agrco with the Loadcr of thc Opposition” (Mr. Moighen), said Mr. (iraham.

I think wo aro making: a mistake. Day by day, ministers of tho crown arc approached from the angle of only one part, of _Canada. - “Perhaps I am in favnr of tho two old parties." said Mr. Graham. “or of two parties at all events. not the ‘old’ ones. because I think they are. as young as thnsn that. are called youngm‘: but I am in favor of two parties as the host system of gov- ernment. 'But that is for the peo- ple to say, not for me.” In a public school recently the children were called upon to write an essay. and at the appointed time. little Hugh submitted an effusion on the ark. in which he made the state- ment that Noah fished one day for about five minutes. When the teach- er looked over the composition. she was not. a little puzzled. She could not understand why anybody fond of piscatorial sport should give up in so short a time. “Hugh,” ,she re- marked. looking up from the essay. ”you say that Noah fished for only five minutes?” “Because." was the prompt explanation of Hugh, “he. didn’t have but. two worms.”â€"Har- per’s Weekly. “I say.

We have an idea that the former refers to the person who seeks the society and apes the manner of the “Uppen Ten;" but why “tuft?” And why “paradise” for the fool who shuts his eyes to threatening tron- bles and dangers. satisfied with the enjoyment of the_ moment.“ - I-Al_-._ As a matter of fact, the latter phrase originated in the theological: argument that there is a place for tools just outside paradise, while the term “tuft hunting” took its rise at the Universities of Oxford and Cam- bridge, where at one time the young noblemen wore a peculiarly-formed >cap with a tuft, which presumably [attracted hangers-on. ' 'vvâ€" "â€"wâ€"v_â€" _ “Hobson’s choice” arose from the fact that Hohson, a noted carrier in Cambridge, would only let out his horses and coaches for hire in rota- tion, refusing to allow his customers to choose, a customer being com- pelled to take the horse nearest the door. Thus it became customary, when anything was forced upon one, to s_ay_ f‘Hohson's choice”. vv vâ€" vâ€"v'â€"_ _ “Eating humble pie” is a phrase‘ which really arose from the corriip- ‘ tion of the word “umhles” or "num~ bles," the coarser parts of a deer killed in hunting, which, when made into a pie, were formerly reserved for the lower hunt servants; while “cooking his goose“ is a phrase which originated when the King of Sweden, on approaching a hostile town. excited the contempt of the iinhabitants by the smallness of his army. To express this. they hung out. a goose for him 'to shoot at, whereupon the king set fire to the ltown to “cook their goose." Long ago unscrupulous peeple used to take a cat. tied in a bag to market, where they tried to sell it for a pig. If, however, a purchaser opened the bag before buying. the eat, of course, jumped out. display- ing the fraud. Hence the term “let- ting the cat out of the bag.” d fi___..- ‘I vâ€". “Going to the dogs” comes from the East. where dogs are scaven- gers of the streets, and become so unclean as to be unfit to touch; while the expression, “Tell it to the marines.” used to show disheliel‘ in the truth of a story. arose from the fact that when the marines first went afloat. they were naturally ra- ther “green” concerning nautical affairs, and someone who related a very tall yarn was told to “tell it. to the marines.” the idea being that {they_could he more easily gulled. I “_A‘ ‘L- dlL-‘nf‘l‘ -“ 'r It" is a curious fact that the phrase, “Bald as a badger,” owes its origin to authors of the past who had no exact kanVlOde of natural history. and who, because the forehead of a badger is covered with smooth white hairs. came 'to the. COHCIUSiOn that is was bald. Years ago. a thoatrical managm'nf the bogus typo had in his comâ€" pany an actor whose strong point was the Ghost. in "Hamlet.” If his salary was not fortliruming (in Sat- urday, this actor would oxclaim. “Thnn tl‘w ghost. won‘t. walk tonight." a phrase which is still used by art- ors on pay tlzn' and which pruvic‘lvs‘ a striking illustration of how a casual rvmark hocnmos a common saying.
