A Blow About Billiards.

The New York Evening Post seems
to be trying to find ont the origin Of
the western word "blizzard." " Some
time ago THE AsToRIAS stated that
the word was a corruption "f the
phrase ''blow hard" " as uttered by an
inebriated Chicago individual. The
Evening Post has several cnrrcsnon-
dents who DO not think this Is the
correct derivation of the word, al
though there Is one who cunincides
with the Chicago version. One Ger
man person thinks it comes flmn the
familiar phrase "d"nner uad hi.tzen.
The transformation uf the last word
makes t;.e blizzard. Another says he
term comes from the Spanish l,y way
of Texas and Mexico. The Spanish
word "brisa" pronounced ''nro,za,
and finally blizzard. Sill another
insists that the word comes from the
"blanng" Of trees. The trave.er
makes his way through the woods hy
slashing the outside bark with his ax.
The terrible storms that drive through
the forests blaze or whiten the trees
with snow and sleet. hence blizzard.

an Indian skeleton, in perfect state of
preservation, within four feet of the
back entrance to the house, which was

an old decayed cedar canoe, wrapped
in shreds of decomposed blanket
made of cedar bark. In the canoe
we're found a stone pestle and the
blade of a tomahaWk of remarkably
clever workmanship. Phe skeleton
