Show " I ! Some New Definitions. Girls in a fashionable seminary not a hundred miles from town, in ex-amlnatlon ex-amlnatlon papers, recently turned out a new batch of delightful definitions, It Is evident from their answers that J several of them, while they may not be trained thinkers, have more or less H logical processes of thought. One de- W fined "red tape" as "the inability of J any one holding a political position to do anything necessary without i p -''fl orders," showing she had read 1 fl "Little Dorrit" to advantage, to -:u-H nothing of "Bleak Horse." Anui hi t girl, asked "Why does a ship float the r.'ght way up?" replied, "Because if it did not the people in it would tumble out." One ingenious girl suggested, "foxlet" as a noun for a young fox, which certainly is more specific than puppies. And a young person, evidently evi-dently determined not to let herself be humbugged, said "B-Sc." meant "Bad science." Philadelphia Evening ...J Telegraph. |
