“If we dwell on life’s hindrances, we may be blind to its possibilities." The most lasting result of a print- ers’ error is found in the Word “cocoa- nut,” which pe0ple often think has something to do with cocoa. The orig- inal word was cocomut, from the Spanish word “coco,” meaning “grin or grimace,” a name bestowed upon the Cacoanut owing to its resemblance to the face of a monkey. When Dr. Johnson was compiling his famous dic- tionary he included the word coco- nut," but the compositor inserted an" "a" instead of the hyphen, and the word appeared as “cocoanut,” and has been written so ever since. There is a story in connection with I certain paper which tells how it re- ferred to two learned gentlemen as “bibulous old files” instead of “biblio- philes." Next morning the editor re- ceived a very wrathful protest. In his correction and apology, however, he said something about “the learned gentlemen are too fastidious." To the editor’s horror the printer again disâ€" tinguished himself, and the statement munity of Montreal.

And a mistake which was, perhaps, ghe fadlt of the stenographer rather than the printer, related to the pro- posal of a. toast to the “Three-per- :ent Consols” instead of “Three pre- sent Consuls." Bad handwriting once resulted in this sentence appearing in an Ameri- can paper: “Mr. ‘ , a nobby old burglér, prowling round in a naked state.” It should have read: “Mr. â€", a noble old burgher, proudly lov- ing his native State.” The leaving out of a letter' or a word in printing can change a sen~ tence from the sublime to the ridicu- lous. “A battle-scarred veteran” came out in a certain paper as “a bat- tlesscared veteran”â€"â€"a vastly different thingâ€"while a misprint usually attri- ‘buted to the “Times” is “them asses” instead of “the masses.” The Word “Cocoanut” a Lasting Re- sult of a Typographical Error.

It is the opinion of‘the best medical authorities, after long observation, that nervous diseases are more com- mon and more serious in the spring than at any other time of the year- Vital changes in the system, after long winter months, may cause much more trouble than the familiar spring weak- ness and weariness from which most people suffer as the result of indoor life, in poorly ventilated and often overheated buildings. Official records prove that in April and May neuralgia. St. Vitus dance, epilepsy and other terms of nerve troubles are at their worst, and that then, more than any other time, a bloodâ€"making, nerve-re- storing tonic is needed. The antiquated custom of taking ourgatives in the spring is useless, for :he system really needs strengthening. while purgatives only gallop through the bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi- cine, for they actually make the new, rich, red blood that feeds the starved nerves, and thus cure the many forms of nervous disorders. They cure also such other forms of spring troubles as headaches. poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, as well as remove unsightly pimples and eruptions. In fact they unfailingly bring new health and strength to weak, tired and depressed men, women and children. or list announced a few days ago.

The city has two calendars, dating one from 622 AD. and one from the birth of our Saviour. Outside of Khartum, in the vast Sudan, Islam still seems to be chiefly a veneer, says the Christian Herald, and the negro blood carries with it a characteristic jovial friendship and responsiveness to kindness; but in Khartum and Om- durman Islam is stiffening and deep- ening its grip on the people.

When one John O'Shea appeared in a police court to answer to the charge of being drunk and assaulting- the police, an ofi'icer declared that the man had been dismissed from the army with ignominy. “Why, Ruth,” said a mother to her little daughter, who was crying, “what are you crying about?" “Cause,” sob- bed the little miss, “I started to make dolly a bonnet and it comed out bloomers.” Swift Wrapping of Loaf Sugar.

The quays, streets, gardens and public buildings present the picture of a civilized town, as regular and a good deal more ambitious than some metropolis in the growing West.
