The Comparison.
Dropping into the Garrick club ono
nftornoon. Charles Brookfield. the
dramatist, found a well known actor,
who happened to he playing David
Garrick at the tliue. reclining in a
chair right under the portrait of the
immortal "Davy." Brookfield stopped
In front of him and looked first at the J
portrait and then at the man. "By
Jove, old fellow." he exclaimed at last,
"you grow more and more like Garrick
every day!"
"Do you really think so. Brookfield?"
returned the delighted victim.
"Yes." came the crushing retort,
"and less and less like him every
night"?London Tati2r.
A "Cou'ee."
The term "coulee" is generally applied
throughout the northern tier of
states to any steep sided gulch or wni
ter channel and at times even to a
| stream valley of considerable length.
I The term was doubtless derived from
the French verb couler. meaning to
; flow. This use of "coulee" should not

Decimals and Duodecimals.
Ilerbert Spencer offered n characteristically
original system of reckoning.
He clung to the duodecimal system,
mainly because twelve can bo divided
by threo and four as ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis of calculation.
in vein ni ? two uew uigus iu uis.e iuc
places of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred.
Si>encer scornfully remarked that the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes.
If he had had twelve "there never
would have l>een any difficulty."?London
Chronicle.
THK COLDS OF MANKIND
CURED BY PINES!
Have you ever gone through a typl-*
;cal pine forest when you had a cold?
jWliat a vigorous impulse it sent! How
you opened wide your luhgs to take in
those invigorating and mysterious
qualities and overcomes hacking cough
The inner lining^ of the throat is
strengthened in its attack against
cold germs. Every family needs a bottle
constantly at hand. 25c.
Styles of Architecture.
In their architecture the Moresquestrove
for the negation of the weight
altogether. The Egyptian placed the
weight firmly on the ground; the Greek
lifted it up in the air with an assertion
of graceful power. The Roman ,
confused weight and support; the Byzantine
represented weight without
support: the Moor suggested that there
was no weight ut all.
Old English Bribery. , ,
Bribery, according to an expert on
the subject, first became a recognised,
mode of securing votes In the reign of
Charles I. It was afterward Improved
upon by George III., who lost no opportunity
of enforcing its claims as a good
vote getter. "If," he wrote to hi*
chief adviser on one occasion, "the
Duke of Northumberland requires souiei
gold pills for the election it would be*
wrong not to satisfy him." The king
was not altogether sebish in this uiat>
ter of spending money, lor the gold
pills came out of bis own medicine
chest, the civil list, whereas his successors
drew upon the secret service .ft >
cash for the corruption of the voters*- *
