Lessons In Words,

An explanation of the derivation of
words will give a pupil an insight into
their history, and he will comprehend
their use and power.
"Sierra means "saw :" hence the
use OF the terms Sierra Nevada, Sierra
Morena, for the mountains look like
great saws turned up to the heavens.
"Frank" comes from a nation that
possessed Gaul. They were distin-
guished from the Gauls by their love of
freedom, their scorn of q lie. So
marked was this national trait that it
was applied to denote moral distinc-
tions.
"Slave" was once a noble word,
meaning i" glory" 1t was significant
of freedom. But the slaves Cor
Schlaves, as once spelled became cap
tives to the Teutonic race, and so
"Slave was synonymous with one
who was subject to another.
Turkey" is applied to fowl that
originated in this country, but 1t was
supposed by the common people to have
come from Turkey.
"Daisy," Chaucer tells us, means
days eye"-eye of day. The sun
had this title first, but those who
saw the daisy saw likeness to the sun
the white fowerets resembling the
rays-hence the name.
"Knave" meant originally only
clad" and it now means that in Ger
many, but SO many lads were bad that
it got to have bad Significance.
CIVILIAN meant a man who worked
on villa OF farm /; but so many of them
had rough, hard natures that it took a
low Specification.
"Silly in the old English means
"blessed" Our early poets use the
word to show harmlessness. The
"silly sheep" is very common. But
how the word has changed !-Schoot
Journal.

Packing q Trunk.

Most people dislike to pack trunk,
and to do it well is something of an art.
1t should never be done in hurry. You
should first get everything together
which is to be packed, and then go quiet
ly and systematically to work. Very
large trunks are an abomination over
which expressmen groan and swear, not
altogether without reason. Still, small
ones are inconvenient, except for short
journeys, end multiply expense, as the
expressage is for each piece, be it Sara
toga trunk or a small valise, without re-
gard to size. But, whatever the size of
the trunk, it.shouid be filed, or at least
packed full enough to prevent the con-
tents from tossing about. If you are
compelled to take trunk which is too
large for what you need to pack in it,
fill it with crumpled paper, rather than
leave it half empty. Owing to the rough
usage which baggage always receives,
unless the trunk is closely packed the
contents will be literally churned up and
down, and the clothes which you have
carefully folded will be tumbled to de-
gree, even if nothing worse comes to
them. For long journey it is well to
cord trunks. Rope is better than strap.
because it goes both ways. Nothing
heavy, like boots, ETC., should ever be
put in the top of trunk, since the more
heavily it is weighted the more likely
the hinges are to break. Dresses should
be carefully folded, with the founces
laid smooth and drawing strings let out,
the waist folded but once, the wrong
side out, with the sleeves laid over the
back and the fronts over all. Then, if
absolutely necessary, the basque may
be folded again down the middle seam
of the back, but never across.

UnkiSsSed Kisses.

They sat together on the verdant
banks which ran down close to the ocean
beach. In front of them lay the slum-
bering sea, its placid surface softly
cleaning beneath the mellow light of the
rising moon.
"'Twas not an hour nor a scene for aught
But love and calm delight"

too too. There is an outwardness and
entirety about them SO extremely soul
full. They are gushing with the sub
stance of intangibiity."
"What do you think he means when
he writes about the barrenness of un-
kissed kisses ?"
"First of all, thought he referred to
those kisses which young ladies give to
each other when their wells are down !:
but on giving the matter thorough con-
sideration here she looked cautiously
around-"I came to the conclusion that
they were those kisses which lover
fails to take when he is alone with his
fancee and all the chances are favorable
for his obtaining them"
Having said this, she cast her eyes
down and blushed. Then his arm wan
dered around her waist, her head
dropped upon his shoulder, and-well,

Touching Words.

Respecting the removal of the Ute
Indians, occurring some time ago, the
Solid Muldoon, published on the from
tier, says:
"Now, laying aside all animosity, We
ask, is there to-day, upon the frontier, q
human heart that does not throb with
sympathy for those untutored beings?
Take the lesson home to yourself. Think
of your being forced from scenes and
possessions that are rendered near and
dear by childhood's happy recollections.
Think of having to leave forever those
dear ones who are laid away to await the
resurrection morn, and leaving them,
with a knowledge that ere your foot
prints have been obliterated by the
dews of heaven, the plow Of the pale
face will have leveled the little mounds
and completed the work of desolation.
"Fellers, it's rough"
The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1881-10-13

A correspondent of the Chicago Times, who
was commissioned by that journal to attend
the obsequies Of the late President, at Cleveland,
few days ago published an account of the
manner in which the Chicago officials (or rather
the officials Of Cook County, conducted them
selves on the occasion in question. The
writer states that before leaving Chicago
the officials provided themselves with edibles,
champagne, ETC., sufficient to last them
during their absence, at cost TO the city Of
$500 or thereabouts. At Cleveland they got
staggering drunk, and went about among the
mourning thousands swearing and acting in q
most disgraceful manner. They provided
themselves with hacks and took their places in
the procession in front of the Cabinet,
averring the public would think they
themselves were the Cabinet officers.
One of them took q seat ON the top of a
hack by the side of driver, smoking and
acting in manner at once disgusting. Only
the solemnity Of the occasion prevented the
indignant public from offering resistance. The
fact that they were sent to represent Chicago
is q severe reproach upon that city, and her
citizens should take some public action in the
matter. The world should know their names
and they should be held up to public ridicu Q
and censure.

Secretary Blaine's letter of acceptance to the
late President Garfield has just been published
and its tone shows the deep sympathetic feel
ing existing for seventeen years between these

joyfully to your service. You need no
pledge of my loyalty in heart and in act.
should be false to myself did I not prove
true both to the great trust you confde to me
and to your own personal and political fortunes
in the present and in the future. Your i'd
ministration must be made brilliantly sue

pride Of the people, not at all direct
ing its energies for q reelection and yet COM
pelling that result by the logic OF events
and by the imperious necessities of the situa-
tion. To that most desirable contamination I
feel that next to myself, can possibly con-
tribute as much influence % any other one
