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.

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 sion Sub on theological matters at a in Dublin and one of the di, Ltf thYcmXTit °o educated as ° broke in own powers.

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.— Detroit Free Press, 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 K ir! - }°u see, o, girls raised, earne and smoke the tobacco we the boys they chawed it, and there = ’t no^eet.on^from the^o.d soarV, along afore the war our county wha t smokes a pip e.
