A “Common Platform.”
The happiness correct of translation nations, may of
hang upon the
a statesman’s speech, and accuracy |
of language has become of the high- j
cst importance. An English com- j
inissioncr, Sir Charles Warren, re
eently witnessed the dangers which
may result from the mistranslation
of a speech. Sir Charles had been
called upon to lay the foundation
stone of a new Wesleyan church in
Mafeking. He said what countless
other gentlemen have said on simi
jar occasions—how pleased of different he was
to see so many people plat
opinions meeting on a common of
form. The official interpreter
the occasion struggled bravely to
get the idea before his Kaffir audi
tors. Then he informed them that
Sir Charles Warren complained of
the “common platform,” and do
clared that it ought to have had
green or red baize for a covering.
Mansfield’s Sarcasm.
Richard Mansfield is known .to
have very decided notions upon de¬
portment and matters of etiquette,
relates the New York Times. With
a friend, who is authority for the
story, Mr. Mansfield rode up town
cn a Broadway car the other after¬
noon. Both men had seats for a
time until at the intersection of a
shopping street the car became offered
crowded with women. Both

Sayings cf a Celebrated Irish
Judge,
j n a bl q a i f or assau it before Judge
]\f orr i s? a celebrated Irish judge who
^ied recently, an eloquent lawyer
ft q c | rosse( l the jury at great length
prove that his client liad not hat

thi S speech Lord Morris was turning
Gver the pages of a railway guide.
j agt |.j ie barrister sat down, de
c ] ar i n g that ho would not call any
evidence. “Gentlemen of the jurv,”
^he judge, “I have computed

there is the man who was struck,
t p e man wbo saw him struck aud
tbe cons table who saw him hiding
under his bed. It is for you to say
whether a broken head or an out¬
burst of eloquence is the better'tes¬
timony to a matter of fact.” At
another time, in a sanitary case, a
lawyer once said, “I assume that
your lordship is fully acquainted
with the statutes and authorities.”
“Assume nothing of the sort,” said
the judge. “I yield to of no sanitary man in
my utter ignorance

One of the most characteristic of
Lord Morris’ sayings has yet to be
related There' was some discus

in Dublin and one of the di,

with his great brogue: “Ah, now,

I’ll send out to the public house at
the corner and for sixpence 111 get

Origin cf a Famous Phrase.
It was Judge Thomas M. Cooley
of Michigan, instead of Grover
Cleveland, who first gave utterance
to the famous phrase, “A public of¬
fice is a public trust.” Governor
Durbin of Indiana is to blame for
dispelling the illusion. In a speech
recently he attributed the author¬
ship of the saying to Judge Cooley,
and upon being called upon to give
his authority lie sent to Clerk IIop
kins of the supreme court, who had
no difficulty in finding the words in
a copy of Cooley’s “Principles of
Constitutional Law,” published in
1880, several years before the words
were made famous by President
Clevelan Qj . -1 here is, however, no
claim th P t I -T esident Cleveland be¬
Heved he was coining a phrase when
lie employed the words. He simply
expressed an established truth.—

Women Who Smoke.
A venerable woman calmly puff¬
ing away at an old clay pipe was fre- one
of the sights, now much less
quent than formerly,- in the Car¬
thage (Kan.) courthouse the other
day. She had come in from some
of the backwoods corners of Jasper
county, where there are others of
her kind.
“From Tennessee? Why, sartin
ly,” she replied to the local inter
viewer’s query, “and from South
Ca’liny to Tennessee when a little

Aluminium Nails,

mmtg and trials an a n oy of alu
hag bcen matle w ith which
£ ,, staples and tacks can be made
compete v> .jth copper. Among
advantages claimed for the
now new material is that it is not af
fected by the weather and wih not
deteriorate, as in laying roofs, hn
ing tanks, e Pt c. As the alloy is non
corrosive and nonpoisonous the new
nails ought to find favor among
makers of refrigerators and other
articles use d for food storage. When
the difference in point of number
an q we ight is taken into considera
tion, it is seen that aluminium nail3

ordinary steel nails.—-Hardware.
An Automatic Bouncer,

Rouses. Punctually at closing time
the legend, “Time, please, gentle

then an electric gong starts ringing
with guc h amazing power that it be
cornes quite impossible for even t,.e
piost enthusiastic toper to occupy
