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 Telegraph.
