BoueuEr.-Hearing a good linguist
pronounce this word the other day, As
if it had been spelt 6o-kay, l was induc-
ed to ask him his reason for dong so,
when he gave me the following intor-
nation, whichmay interestsomc of your
readers: The word, rs we are accus-
toned to seeing it spelt, is a French
perversion of two rtar-Arabic
words, DO, beautiful, and ka, perfume:
hence, the original meaning OF the
word boqaet is anything which pos
sesscs a beautiful perfume.
In like manner, the luscious ToAay
wine (ot which the Austrian Emperor
is reputed to be as fond as the King
OF Prussia was of Campagne) is in,lebt-
ed for its name to the two Arabic
words, to, royal Or imperial, and ka per-
fnmc. When, therefore, connoisscurs
speak Of their wines having "bean,i.
tul bouquet they are correctly using
the word in its original sense, but they
are incorrectly and unwittingly using
the adjective twice--tirst in English,
and then in Arabic.

Statistics OF Paris.

Tie following curious facts concern
ing Paris are taken from the Journal
des Connaissances Medicales
The total population is in round
numbers, LOO, 900, viz 10000 men,
100000 women, 250,000 children. OF
these 100000 inhabitants, 400, 900
live on their private property, or on
the produce of their professions, as
government officials, lawyers, physi-
clans, and members of other liberal
professions 100000 arc in schools,
hospitals, prisons, or religious fraterni-
ties; 100000 arc engaged in trade,
wholesale or retail, in shops, markets,
or the streets; 100000 are occupied
in manufactures, either as masters or
workmen, and $4,000 are military men
of all ranks. Coming to more minute
particulars, manual labor employed in
producing all the various articles, large
and small, constituting what is called
articles de PARIS, is represented by 49,
81 working people. Of these, 1885,
S6l are men, lo5, 40 are women, and
%, $40 children. We now come to the
question, how many hands are repre-
sented by steam in Paris? There are
1900 engines in the capital, employ
ed in variety of trades, and forming
an aggregate o. 10000 horse power
Now, as one Of the latter is equivalent
to the working power of seven hands,
it follows to 4l6,Sl1 working people
above stated we must add 10, 900 hands,
or $4,000 individuals more. Hence, if
all steam engines were suppressed here
tomorrow, 1t would require en- influx
OF $4,000 workmen to keep the daily
production at its present rate.

Early Copyright Law.

In The Freemen's Journal (printed
at Philadelphia, by Francis Baily) for
March II, 1888, we find the following
interesting item -
"The assembly of Connecticut, at

A Cure for the GrcciaN Bend

The Hamilton (Canada) Spectator
tells the following story, which should
be warning to fair smugglers, and
Grecian benders particularly:
The Grecian bend was put to nov
el use on the Buffalo and Lake Huron
Railway few days since. In one OF
the tirst-class cars sat handsome
young lady, dressed in the height OF
fashion, who seemed to be suffering
under rather painful attack Of Gre
clan bend. As is usual on the trains
arrival on tho American side, the bag
gage Of the passengers was examined
by the United States custom officer
"Havc you any baggage, Miss ?" in
quired the officer of the aforesaid
young lady. Nothing, except this"
replied she, producing a small valise.
The officer examined and returned IT.,
at the same time scanning the person
of the young lady in a manner that al
most amounted to rudeness. "Will
you follow me to the custom office,
Miss ?" said the official. The corners
OF his mouth were almost drawn into
IL Sullle, anu iutcCHtesOuo OWiu was
preceptble in his eyes as he lead the
way to the searching room. Arrived
in the office, the lady's face, which had
previously been Of a marble whiteness,
assumed a crimson hue. "What is
here, ma'am ?' said the officer, passing
his hand over the back of her Dress
"That is the Grecian bend" replied she,
meekly casting down her eyes. II did
not know there was any duty to pay
on it; if there is, tell me how much and
l will pay it." "There is no duty to
pay on it, but we must examine it" re-
piled the obstinate officer. A female
scarcher was procured, and after strong
protests on the part of the young lady,
the mystery of the "Grecian Bend"
alias "the Montreal wriggle," was un-
raveled, and found to contain twelve
yards of black silk velvet, six pairs of
French kid gloves, forty yards of rich
lace, four white ostrich feathers and a
bottle of Gilbert's magic hair restorer.
The United States customs are now
convinced Of the reason why the Gre
clan bend has had such rage, and they
intend to give their particular attcn-
tion to any cases of this infectious dis
ease which may come under their no.
tice for the future. All such cases of
Grecian bend will be Immediately put
under quarantine on their arrival across
the border

BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ,


The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her droooing lash
+ One starry tear-drop angs and trembles,
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As Ger bcdewed the field Of gloryl
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart BE rent asundcr,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of leath around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as cer
Was poured upon the field Of battle
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her brest her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
10 know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as eer the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor!

The Omaha Republican pays the
following tribute to Iowa: "'The Iowa
State Census, just completed with the
exception OF five counties, indicates
an increase in the population of the
State of above one hundred and fifty
thousand in two years. The advance
of our sister State has been wonder

many when almost Lor entire territory
was wilderness. See how she has
progressed: In 1896, what is Iowa
now, contained bst 10000 people; In
1916, only 97,OO; in 1855, $4,000; in
1867, 630, ,OUO--now nearly, if not quite

Twelve Months with the Bees

OCTOBER.

OCTOBER.
As soon as the frost comes, remove
all surplus boxes from the hives and
close the entrances partially SO that
mice may not creep in to annoy the
bees. If your stock is native, look out
that no weak colonies are exposed so
as to attract robbers. With the Itali-
ans there is little danger, as even the
smallest stocks protect themselves
with energy. Look over your frames
if You have movable comb hives, some
cool frosty morning and you can tell
more about the condition of your
hives at a glance than by guessing
about them all the fall. a good cole
ny should now have bees enough TO
make large cluster, though nealy all
the frames, and contain at least thirty
pounds OF honey. Few realize that
bees consume more honey in fall and
spring months than in winter. A hive
that contains twenty pounds IN Jan
erary may bo saio, but ia not in Octo
ber Actual weighing OF number o.

sumption of 4 pounds in October, 4!

The Normal sch col Question, hi

The7 prevalent cry for more thor

mon as not to need special mention.
And, in order to meet the demand for
such teachers, ,rsomething must be
done to furnish facilities for better
teacher training We must look to
State Legislature for the necessary
aid.
With this ns.view e..,late .State
Teachers Association unanimously pas.
sed Eresolutions1,to memorialize that
body at its next session to grant as
follows:
1st. An appropriation of $4,000 to
aid in the further Development of the
Normal Department of the State Uni
vcrsity.
Cd. To establish at least one other
Normal School in some suitable place
where it can be done on conditions
most advantageous to the State and
| the Schools thereof, and to make such
an appropriation as will place it upon
a permanent basis.
The State Association also passed
the following resolution:
| Resolred, That we request the Coun
| ty Institutes to be held before the
next meeting OF the Legislature to set
apart one evening of the Institute
week for the discussion of the subject
of Normal Schools.
The special attention Of the citizen:
of Tama county is called to this ques
ton, SO that our Representatives may
go up thoroughly instructed upon this
one of the most vital topics upon which
legislation will be asked during the
coming winter. An effort Of this sort
is now being made in nearly every
county in the State; and it is particu
lar!y desirable, that we should signi
fy our feeling on the matter also.

The bride Of an hour stood smiling;
Her mother in tears was near by;
For the "pet of her life, so beguiling,"
Was soon to bid her goodbye.
Fond friends tried vsinly to cheer her,
To stop up the tears that fast fell,
And she clasped her daughter still nearer,
And in agony uttered farewell!
The groom with his bride has departed,
To journey far off in strange lands,
And the mother cries out brokenshearted,
SWELL I'm glad that gal 8 off my handsr

In addition to the ordinary assess

nance of our commons schools, which
annually amounts to over four hundred
thousand dollars, there is permanent
endowment fund Of more than tour
millions and quarter of dollars be-

six per cent. The other million and
three-fourths are still in wild lands,
wlnch are rapidly increasing in value,
and will soon reach twice that amount

The income arising from this per
