Some Common Errors Among People The Etymology of Words is What Counts. "Supercilious Is from supercilium, eyebrow; 'supercilious eyebrow' is, therefore, equivalent to ' eyebrowlsh eyebrow,' a rank tautology, and inex cusable. But a leading newspaper has, 'The reviewer proceeds to say with su percilius eyebrows;" as well might we say, 'with ocular eyes,' or 'auricular ears,' or 'pedal feet,' or 'mental minds.' "Commit, when said of a moral act, is always associated in the mind with blameworthiness, never with acts com mendable. But in a notice of the Schley investigation we read of the sec retary of the navy committing his first Impartial act. "Pessimist and pessimistic designate always a mental attitude, a point of view, but never the quality of an objec tive thing or situation. Though the prospect of a coming harvest be never so gloomy, it is not nor can be pessi mistic, and though never so cheering, It is not nor can be optimistic; pessi mism and optimism are strictly moods of mind, and are predioable only of the mind of man. But the secretary of agriculture is reported as saying, 'The outlook for the crops is by no means pessimistic.' The right word is 'dis couraging,' or the like. "Tribulation is one of the most nota ble words in our language. It Is dis tinctly a Christian and religious word, as Archbishop Trench shows in tracing lis origin. The sorrows and trials the religious man has are the threshings without which there would be no fit ting him for the heavenly garner. Tribulation is derived from the Latin tribulum, which was the threshing in strument or harrow whereby the Ro man husbandman separated the corn from the husks; and tribulatio in its primary significance was the act of this separation' ("Study of Words," lect. 2). In correct usage the word has preserved all its sacred and solemn meaning; but the newspaper which sees no merit in the effort to maintain the etymological purity of the mother tongue debases its significance when. In telling of the search made for a stray submarine mine, it says, 'the search was made in fear and tribulation.' " Joseph Fitzgerald in Harper's.

In a few days Rear-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford hauls down his flag and returns to England nd doubtless, sooner or later, to parliament. His period as second in command of the Mediterranean fleet has been a time of great activity. Lord Charles has been constantly at work, either originating something himself or putting to practi cal test new ideas suggested by other people. His activity has ranged from devising of boom defences that torpedo trying to improve night signaling to the boats could nut jump. Some of the manoeuvres carried out under his di rections weiu vei uuui U Uion uiio occasion he laid a clever trap for the opposing naval force. He had a num ber of launches lowered and light placed along their sides to make them repre sent a battle fleet at anchor. Then un der cover of night he drew his battle ships out to sea and waited. Presently along came the enemy's torpedo craft making for the launches, which they mistook for Lord Charles' fleet at an chor. This was exactly what his lord ship had anticipated, and when the de stroyer got well into his clutches he opened fire upon them. In actual war fare not a single one could have es caped, and, theoretically, he was held to have destroyed the whole flotilla.

Father Botolph, bjilii and fat, sat in his arbor drowsing over his breviary. Between him and the river lay his vine yard, where Pepe, a pious peon, stopped over the low vines croaking an Ave Maria. The sun was gone a good half hour behind the darkening hills, and the old missionary was asleep when the creak of wheels sounded from across the red shining river and the splash splash of a horse stopped Pepe'a low chant. "Buenos naches, Padre!" said the peon, hanging his ragged sombrero on a stake and walking beside the weather-beaten buggy that came groaning up through the vineyard. "Praise God in English if you can, Pepe," said the young priest in the bug gy, "for It liae been a blessed week for the mission. See here?" and the sleek young missionary pointed to an old sack under the seat, "here are all the false gods the idols of San Isidor. I have won the whole pueblo back to the good Christ." Father Oervase, the girl-faced enthu siast, lifted the sack tenderly and laid it at the feet of old Botolph, then shook him gently by the arm. "Wake, father, wake! See what I have brought you." And in the fading afterglow Gervase showed his superior the false gods of lay and feathers which he had taken from the Indians of San Lsldor. "Here is old Panchlco's favorite idol," boasted the radiant Gervase, holding up a grotesque, many-armed clay figure which smelled of smoke and burned feathers. "I took it from his house while he looked on and in its place in stalled our Good Lady of Lourdes. Be sides, t confessed : "Not Fanchico!" snorted Botolph, taking the dirty image and patting its flat little head. "No not Fanchico." resumed Gervase, his blue eyes glistening with holy en thusiasm, "but all the rest more than a hundred and a score counting the aquaws. I gave away all the rosaries and the scapulars, and put all my statues In the niches where these wretched dolls of mud had been. ' "Panehieo must have been drunk!" quoth Botolph. who. had been forty years among the Pueblos. He put his tongue in his fat cheek and gazed fath erly down at his young assistant. "Come now, mlo muchacho, did you smell Panchico's breath?" "No, father; I prayed beside him,- for he was ill. He did not take part in the fiesta. The agent, that devout young man from Isleta, was there and there was no liquor. He saw the wonders that I worked by the grace of God, of course but there was no liquor." And you confessed the whole pue blo?" 'All but Fanchico, padre." 'Then there will be the devil to pay when he finds it out."-. , ' ' "Alas, Father Botolph', can you not see that I have converted them air. Are not these the evidence that San Is idor has given up its false worship? To be sure, it is my first attempt, but "And you think you have converted them nil! Poor boy!" Botolph was stuffing his bulbous nose with snuff, and the yiung Gervase, disappointed at the poor impression his vicfory had made upon the old man, was ranging the little Indian images 'as a child might toy with his soldiers. "What more could one humble priest do?" he murmured at last. "I have given them the holy sacraments, con ferred the blue scapular, blessed rora rles. celebrated the mass, taken away their idols and given them blest images of the Virgin Mary and the saints. Is it not a good beginning? Surely. I have at least done no harm?" "My pretty gosling," wheezed the old man, waddling toward the refectory where Pepe had spread a cold supper of bread, cheese and wine, "I began on Panchico's father, the old chief, dead these fifteen years. It took ten years to convince the father that his son should live by work instead of theft; after ten years of argument I have done no more than to show the son that it is better to have but one concubine than to have many who cannot bake his tortillas in the state's prison. In time, if you live, Oervase, you may satisfy his offspring that, there is a God for women as well as for men but as for converting the present generation my good Gervase, your me some wine." They munched their cold fare in the dim candlelight, Pepe standing silent in the shadows. "What then must I do, padre?" asked Gervase fifter a long pause. "First" realize that you will not live to experience the reward of knowing the Miction of your work. The civilized converted Indian will be the great grandchild of Panehieo please God." After Botolph had read, a chapter of the Flores Patribus and put away the book, he said: "Pepe, you must watch all night. Have your lantern In the smoke-house and bring the guns into the dormitory. Gervase and I will sit each in an angle of the porch. Mind you keep awake, and if Panehieo and these rascals from San Isidor " "Fanchico!" gasped Gervase, turning pale. "If you see 'any of them prowjing about, Pope," resumed Botolph. "Si, senor!" "Just see that they don't set fire, to the place and, call me." , "Now, Gervase." said the old mis" sionnry, when the eiins had been brought and Pepe shuffled away Into the night haze, "unless I am very much mistaken your good convert Panehieo will be here before daylight to get back that idol of his. Don't shoot him though that might be one way of con verting him permanently but when he comes just let him see that we are armed and leave all speech to me." Gervase, white to his red lips, and quite downcase, went to his corner of the vine-covered portico looking towar d the fog-veiled river and sat quiet on his stool till the frosty air chilled through his heavy gown and the moon sailed over the eastern range like a woman's face in a dream. The boom of Pepe's leaping sandals as the peon bounded on to the quaking I porch floor woke him. He looked out .across the vineyard and in the dim light !av .ihe mounted figure of many Indi- ians, lige graven horsemen, each motion less in a halo of luminous fog. Botolph, gun in hand, followed Pepe down the steps and Gervase, shivering, followed Botolph, " Panehieo was standing by his pony near the well. Upon his shoulders was a bag which clanked with the noisa of chlnaware. "Padre," grunted the Indian in good English, "I want back the good friends of San Isidor. Here are you saints and necklaces. Give me back what belongs to my people." And Pepe at a signal from Botolpn fetched the sack of false gods and laid them at Panchico's feet. The Indians fell back ghostly Into the margin of the murmuring river, and the two priests with Pepe stood for a while on the porch watching them picking over their recovered deities. ' "Why did you , give them back?" whispered Gervase at last. "Because I don't want the mission burned up," chuckled Botolph. "What, padre, do you think has caused this lapse from grace?" asked Gervase as they went Into the adobe house to sleep. "Panehieo is sober," quoth Botolph, and as he dozed away Gervase thought he heard the old priest laughing softly to himself. John H. Raftery in the Chlcogo Record-Herald. SNOWBALLING COMPLAINED OF.

Years ago a world-famous naturalist came to Boston and delivered a course of lectures before the Lowell institute. He had been trained In his youth as a clergyman of the church of England. He told me that in his early life he had looked upon all these matters with con tempt, but had been startled into mak ing them a study by some personal ex perience. The result of It was that lie and other friends organized a circle composed of rfi people. They held sit tings every week when they were in London, during a period of seven years. There wfl.s no one possessing me dlumlstlc powers in this circle at the time when they began their sittings; hut as they went on. psychic powers of every description were developed within the limits of their own membership. Among these 16 are the names of peo ple known all over the world, and who would be readily recognized if I should mention them. It would seem like a chapter- out of the "Arabian Nights" if I should detail the things which this naturalist told me as having occurred at their sittings. What I have said Is only an explana tory introduction to one little Incident which I wish to detail. This naturalist himself became an automatic writer. One member of the circle had a brother who was an officer In the army. They had talked over those tilings, and the brother had promised that, if he died first he would try, if possible, to com municate. This gentleman came into the private room of the naturalist one day and said, "I wish you would see If you can get. any writing." He did not feel like it, but as a matter of accom modation sat down and took paper and pen. Pretty soon his hand began to move, made certain meaningless scrawls at first, and then began to string letters together in the form of words. As, however, he looked on what he had written, it seemed to him with out any meaning. He told me that if they were words at all, they were not words in any language with which he was acquainted. The friend asked him what, he had obtained, and he remark ed, carelessly: "Oh, nothing. It's non sense; at any rate, it has no meaning to me." Whereupon, the friend him self came and looked over the paper, end started with surprise. He said: "Perhaps it has no meaning- for you, but it has all the meaning in the world for me." And then he explained that his brother, who at this time was dead, had made up certian words out of his own head. They were not words in any language, but they were arbitrary ar rangements of letters which appeared like words. He had given these to his brother, and had said: "If I can ever come to you I will bring these as a test. If I do not bring them, you need not believe It is I." And here the natural ist, in absolute Ignorance of these facts, had reproduced the identical combina tions of letters which the officer years before had made as a proposed test for his brother. Rev.
