MIXED METAPHORS.
Some Geme That Have Been Dropped
In Flights of Oratory.
Id ,iie palmy day* of spread
oratory, when language was far
more llowery and figurative than it
is now, it took a cool head behind a
vehement manner to steer a safe
course among similes and meta
phors. Absurdities were frequent,
and laughter marred many a perora
tion, yet, carried along by the speak
er’s earnestness and fire in delivery,
the most wildly ridiculous meta
phors often passed unnoticed.
At a memorial meeting in honor
of one of the most famous of Amer
ican orators- Wendell Phillips -a
magniloquent speaker referred to
the spirits of the great departed,
which, on leaving this earth, “wend
each its way, swifter than a winged
eagle, loftier than a soaring falcon
—sweeping across the mighty
spaces of the heavens as a glorious
comet sweeps, rushing ever onward,
forward and upward to its goal in
Abruham’s bosom!’’
Oratory of that type—even with
out the mixed metaphor —is a rare
survival from the fashion of an
earlier time. Eloquence is more re
strained and less ornate nowadays.
Yet even in the simpler style of
our own time public speakers of ex
perience, as well as blunderers and
beginners, occasionally slip up on
their metaphors. Any schoolboy
could correct the errors that some
wide awake English reporter bus
noted in the recent speeches of emi
nent British statesmen and poli
-1 icians.
“Wo are told," said Walter Long
in a debate on an education bill,
“that by such legislation the very
heart of the country has been shak
en to its utlcr.most foundations.”
St. .John Broderick, in the house
of commons, talking of the mobi
lization of troops, declared that
“among the many jarring notes
heard in this house on military af
fairs, this subject at least must be
regarded as an oasis.”
Mr. Asquith, the premier, did
better, lie said that “redistribu
tion is a thorny subject, which re
quires delicate handling or it will
tread on some people’s toes.’’. And
it was Lord Curzon of Kedleston,
former viceroy of India, who declar
ed optimistically:
“Though we arc not out of the
wood, we have a good ship.”—
Youth’s Companion,
They Misunderstood.
A man who did not articulate
very clearly was present on the first
night of a very badly written and
worse acted play. A number of
friends present, full of compassion,
applauded at the end of the play,
and the man of deficient articula
tion was heard to call for the au
thor, who came out to bow his
thanks.
“What in the world did you yell
for the author for ?” asked a friend
of the man.
“1 didn’t. You misunderstand.
1 was yelling for other.” —Ladies
Home journal.
Anglo-Saxon Folly.
Four Armenians sat in a Man
chester park the other day watching
the bowling green. Their calm
faces betrayed no curiosity. But
when someone paused by them to
watch the game the oldest Arme
nian rose and put a polite question:
“Sir. please, do they pay money
to do that ?”
"Yes. they pay money.”
A flash of amazement passed over
the Armenian faces. One could see
that, for the first time, they realiz
ed the folly of the Anglo-Saxon
race.—Manchester Guardian.
"A1 at Lloyd'*."
At at Lloyd’s is a colloquialism
frequently heard, bat its i me mean
ing is a mystery to many people. 1 u
the early days underwriters at
Lloyd's wanted to know the condi
tion of ships before effecting an in
surance of the vessels or their car
goes, and they cna iged captains to
inspect the ships. If a vessel were
sound in hull it was placed ;n Class
A. if satisfactory in equipment,
which in the bygone days of wooden
sailing vessels included sails and
ropes, it was classed Al. —London

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS,
as they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or
constitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
upon the blood and mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not
aquick medicine. It was prescriti
ed by one of the best physicians in
this country for years and is a reg
ular prescription. It is composed
of the tx>st tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, act
ing directly ou the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in ouring catarrh.
