'WHAT DOES “LURID” MEAN?
Popular Usage of the Word Is Opposed
to Its Definition, Which
Is "Pale.”
Two men got ‘nto an argument re
garding the meaning of the word
lurid." One of them had used the
*or,i, as the police reporter uses it to
describe the red glare in the sky
made by a fire at night. The other
man objected to this, asserting that
the word “lurid" means "pale" in
stead of "deep red." Thereupon they
applied to the dictionaries and found
them agreed in defining "lurid" as
“pale, wan, ghastly pale.”
But. the Oxford Dictionary' has
caught up with the new and popular
meaning of the word with this defini
tion:
Shining with a red glow or glare
amid darkness (said of lightning
flashes across dark clouds or flame
mingled with smoke)."
But this seems to be gratuitous of
the Oxford Dictionary. The word
lurid ’ started out it seems as a Latin
adjective meaning "pale, yellow.” It
was used chiefly of the complexion,
much as "sallow" is used. Then it
grew to have the meaning of “ghast
ly'. But its transition into the popu
lar meaning given it today seems to
have been due to the willfulness of the
press, which found it a handy word
to describe a phenomenon for which
no other word had, apparently, quite
the desirable flavor.—Manchester
Guardian.

READ A HALF HOUR A DA)
How a Housewife W h Intelligence
Kept Herself From Drifting Into
a Dull, Old Woman.
A woman who has brought up a big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
It Is due to a Half-Hour club.
This club has as its fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
In solid reading. There was a leeway
of 24 hours, after that there was a
fine of five cents each day for fail
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month the club meets for
discussion of the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told of this club
says: “No one knows what It has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman in a family of boys, have a
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard, it is a big tempta
tion to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day of solid reading has
kept me up with t.hp times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,
and, best of all, it has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially If you live in a small
town Is such a club of importance. It
Is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious
effort is made. The winter season is
the time to start such a club among
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
daily for yourself. You will never hold
to It without the '.idmulus of com
panionship and tb j broadening inter
est of the fortnightly meetings.
Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con
dition, a child’s bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets arc
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 5J1 Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa., who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
"Some time ago we began using Or.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets anil timl that
wo like thorn very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We havo had good result* In
every case and the Sisters ara Tory
much pleased."

FELT BAD

Shellhorn Lady Suffered a Great
Deal, But 1$ All Right Now.
Shellhorn, Ala.—In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Carrie May says: **A short
time ago, I commenced to have weak
spells and headaches. I felt bad all
the time, and soon grew so bad I
couldn’t stay up. I thought I would die.
At last my husband got mt a bottle
of Cardul, and It helped me; ee he got
some more. After I had taken the
second bottle. I was entirely well.
I wish every lady, sufferlag from
womanly trouble, would try Cardul.
It la the beat medicine I know of. It
did me more good than anything I ever
need.”
Cardul Is a woman's tonic—e
strengthening medicine for women,
made from Ingredients that act spe

thus help to build up the womanly con
stitution to glowing good health.

Wearing of the Hood.
In England the hood was not final
ly given up until the early part of
fifteenth century. The “great velvet
hat furred’’ worn by the mayor of Lon
don, John Welles, In 1432, Is cited as
a singularity by Stow, who states that
previously “the coverture of men’s
heads was hoods, for neither cap or
hat Is spoken of.’ In point of fact
there are a few earlier Instances of
hats being worn by uoblea and even
the middle classes

Compared to the inalienable right to
main a fool of yourself, the right of
free speech, which loud-mouths pro
claim the most cherished one, is of
small concern in the average person.
Of all places where some restraint
on the former might be expected New
York is the last that would be thought
of. Yet in the night court a Columbia
student, caught by an alert constable
in the act of standing still under an
open umbrella while the stars shone
overhead, was fined >10 and warned
that the penalty for the next offense
of similar genesis would be a term
in the workhouse. The young man,
of course, was qualifying for a fratern
ity. He looked foolish—as was the
authoritative intention, in which he
acquiesced.
“But," quoth the police magistrate
ponderously, “no fraternity has a right
to order a man to make an ass of him
self;” and he expressed the wish that
the whole chapter could be haled Into
court that he might fine them all. Con
sidering In how many ways New York
Invites young men to make asses of
themselves, and how many persons In
that town, In fact, do make asses of
themselves without molestation, why
should the line be drawn at a practice
apparently so Inoffensive to public pol
icy as the one criticized?—Providence
Journal.
Brief Holiday.
Joy Is like a bird in flight, which
dips In its passing and touches us
with Its wings. It comes from out of
a far country and It tracks Its way
on high. After that brief hovering
It will recover Its former attitude. Its
speed, and song. Its throbbing heart
passes high oyer our throbbing cit
ies and frozen hills. As we watch
that flight of untrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
j ture that blitheness and teach it to
dwell among men. Why should it
pause but never abide? We would
have that Joy abide so fixedly that It
would become a peace. The holiday
season is like that It stoops for
a little out of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds its brightness
among men. As swiftly as it came, so
swiftly it goes again. And yet each
year it draws more close and stays
for a longer time; its radiance is re
vealed to us more clearly, full of
grace and truth.—Collier’s Weekly.
Girl That Is Popular.
The most popular girl in the school
will generally be a girl who excells In
games and outsiders often wonder
why this should be the case. The rea
son is that to play most games well
a girl must be unselfish; she must
"play for her side," and not for her
own honor and glory, and she carries
this out unconsciously in her dally
fife. You do not find her thinking
that no one else is of any use in the
world, or putting on airs because she
happens to be better looking than
her companions. She is simple andi
natural and content to “give and,
take," and is as strict in her code st
honor as her brother is in a public
school. Such girls will always win,
be rich in friends, and wherever they
go they carry with them a breeay
spirit of joy and good fellowship.
Revolving Houses.
▲ Parisian inventor has conceived
the idea of having small houses which
will turn on their axes built in coun
try districts for invalids, thus furnish
ing a change of scene, of light, and of
air. There is, he thinks, no reason
why some rooms should always got
the sunlight and the remainder be
always damp and unhealthy. The
idea is not entirely new. Some years
ago a revolving house was built in
Normandy. The door was constructed .
of thin boards which glided over each j
other as the house was turned On
one occasion these boards spread out
like an opened fan, closing the exit.
The Inmate, terrified by his experi
ence, had the house pulled down.—
Harper’s Weekly.
WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE
In Years Gone By, the Humble House
hold Utenell Was Given Mur i
Consideration.
The custom of making presents on
New Yea’s day Is now practically ob
solete among English speaking peo
ple, the day of gift giving now being
Christmas. When pins were first in
vented and brought into use about
the beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury they were a New Year’s rtfft very
acceptable to ladles, and money given
for the purchase of them was called
“pin money.” This expression has
since been extended to money settled
by a husband on his marriage for the
private expenses of his wife. Pin*
made of metal, in their present form
were in ubg some time before the yeai
1543. It was during the reign ol
Henry VII. that "an acte for the true
making of pynnes” was made In
which It was enacted that the price
should not exceed 6 shillings 8 pence
a thousand. Pins had previously
been made of box wood, bone and sll
ver for the richer classes. Those
used by the common folks were made
of common wood and were, In fact,
skewers. -
Bacilli far Consumption.
An alleged new bacilli treatmenl
for consumption, an alleged discovery
of a Dr. Friedmann, which has been
widely exploited by a newspaper syn
dicate, is discredited by the Journal
of the American Medical association,
In order to secure curative effect*
It Is asserted that these living bacilli
derived from some kind of a turtle
must be Injected deep Into the mus
cles of the patient The preparation
of the remedy Is secret "The use of
the fluid,” says the Journal, ”18 prob
ably not without danger. There It
not sufficient warrant for any otter
attitude toward Friedmann’s treat
moot of tubereolosls than one of crit
ical neutrality and judicious skepti
cism.”
Newest Pest.
The newest pest In the west and
middle west Is the dog. Not the prai
rie dog. Jnst the common dog. He is
responsible for the decline in the
sheep raising Industry. In many
states in the section of the country
once largely devoted to cattle and
sheep raising, there are more dogs
than there are sheep. It takes three
barb wires on top of two feet of woven
wire to make a fence that will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
bad 175,000 sheep and 199,000 dogs
In 1910, according to the secretary of
the Kansas board of agriculture.
The usual answer farmers In the
west give to the question, "Why don't
you keep sheep?" Is "We can’t keep
dogs from killing them."
Fata Morgana,
The celebrated Data Morgana, a
presentation of natural "moving plo
tune” on an Immense scale, which Is
eosaalonally seen In the Btralta of
Messina, Is explained by a scientific
writer aa being a mirage, such aa fre
quently occurs In various parts of the
world. "In fact," he says, "one may
see a mirage any day by looking
through the stratum of air overlying
a hot stove, or adjacent to the side of
a wall heated in the sunshine.” Young
scientists will be Interested In verify
ing this statement
New England's Advantage.
Here is how the spirits of the wise
sit In the clouds and mock us. "Given
at the risk of arousing western preju
dice, I maintain that New England
and all broken, hilly, rocky countries
have a decided advantage over re
gions of great fertility, In that human
stupidity and mole-eyed greed can
never wholly divest them of forests—
that their sterile crags and steep ae<
cllvitles must mainly be left to wood
fucever.”—Horace Greeley.

The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is give
the average child “medicine, even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles’ Lax
ative Tablets, however, this diffi
culty is overcome The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make Dr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
