Origin Of the Word RoOrback.

Nathan Guilford, once q well-known'
citizen OF Cincinnati, was ON active Wing
politician, and editor of an energetic
Wing paper. On April l., Of certain
year.. he published circumstantial ac-
count of experiments by a German
chemist named Roorback. Roorback
had been examining the chemical CON-
stituents of eggs of different birds, sup
posing it might be possible at last to
compound hatchable egg. According
to the story, after putting many of his
manufac tured eggs to the animal heat of
different patient mothers. he at last
happily succeeded in Matching one egg
and produced living bird. The story
then goes ON to describe very infinitely
the strange creature, anatomically,
physiologically and every other way,
initiating the scientific style used in
similar cases. The story read very we'll,
and was copied into many other papers,
and, after going the rounds of the press
in all parts of the United States, it was
at last (after three or four months) dis
covered to have been first published on
the LIST of April.
The Cincinnati Enquirer Democrat
ic) Immediately fixed upon MI. Guilford
the name of Roorback, which was there
after held to mean political liar,
although the story had nothing to do
with politics. Being well stuck to, the
name at last became pretty well fixed,
and Mr.. q. was for many years well
known in the political field rs Old
Roorbsck.

Bears Helping Each Other.

A gentleman was once making inquir-
les, in Russia, about the method of
catching bears in that country. He was
told that, to intrap them, pit was dug
several feet deep, and, after covering it
over with turf, leaves, ETC., some food
was placed ON the top. The bear, if
tempted by the bait, easily fell into the
snare.
"But," he added, elf four or five
happen to get in together, they all man
age to get out again.
" How is that ?" asked the gentle
man.
"They form n sort of ladder by step
ping on each others shoulders, and thus
make their escape"
But how does the bottom one get
out ?"
"Ah these bears, though not pos
sessing mind and soul such as God has
given us, yet can feel gratitude and
they won't forget the one who has been
the chief means of procuring their liber-
ty. Scampering off, they fetch the
branch of a tree, which they let down to
their poor brother, enabling him speed
ly to Join them in the freedom in which
they rejoice.
Sensible bears, we should say, and a
great deal better than some people that
we hear about, who never help anybody
but themselves Carrier DOge.

A High Old Judge.

Some very comical yarns are related
Of Eph. Clement, commonly called
"Yank," of Yank's Station, Lake Bigler,
well known by oil who ever visited the
lake, when he was Justice of the Peace
of that section few years ago. Among
his other characteristics, Yank is cele-
brated for his ability TO make a noun
tain out of mole hill, and also for his
philosophical disregard for all the world
" desirabilities when their acquisition
desires the display of any amount of
energetic force.
One time he was trying case involv-
ing a considerable sum of money, and
while the most important witness was
being examined, Yank fell asleep and
began snoring like house aiire.
"Hello, Jedge," cried oneo of the inter.
ested parties, show kin you decide this
case when you amt bearing none Of the
evidence?"
Yank was aroused by this indignant
out-burst, and replied:
"That's all right; knew all about the
darned case afore it kim into this yer
court I've made up my mind about the
merits long ago."
And in three minutes by the watch, he
was asleep again. But he was not per-
mitted to rest long before one of his help
rushed into the room, which was on the
second floor Of rickety building, who
cried out:
''Old mani that goldarned old hog is
in the barn agin, eating up all the
barley"
'Jist adjourn the court until I kind O.
/ Il. - no.
eff l amt back in ten minutes, I'll give o
verdict for the plaintiff.
The court was accordingly adjourned
Upon another occasion a man who had
been drinking too much of bad quality
Of whisky, went into the willows TO take
n mp, but the poor devil forgot to wake
up again. When tho dead body was
found, Yank WINS solicited to hold an
inquest.
''What? Is he dead?" asked Yank.
"Why, certainly he is dead" was the
rejcinder.
"Ef that'sxo, bury him. What's the
use O. holdin quest on n dead fellerY
remarked the erudite wearer Of the
ermine.
About the time his judicial term was
| drawing TO close, n man named Smith
wanted to sue another who owed hin
800, and he accordingly interviewed
Judge Yank.
well, asked Yank. "did you see
- and hev talk with him about
the matter?'
"Of course did"
'fWouldnt he give you no sntisfac
tion?"
Certainly not"
"By Jingo!' exclaimed the Judge, "e
you'd couldn't do nothin' with him, how
in blazes kin you expect me TO do it?"
And sucn is the style in which Yank
would deal out blind justice. -Caso,
appeal.

The Elder Booth.

The elder Boo WIS Mt times the victim
of strange fancies. Once he took t',e
fancy to be an absolute vegetarian, and
while possessed of this idea he was
travelling on Western steamboat, and
happened to be placed at table opposite
asofen,n Quaker, who had been attracted
by the eloquent conversation of the great
actor. The benevolent old Quaker,
observing the lack of viands on Booth s
plate, kindly said:
"Friend, shall / not help thee to the
breast of this cldckon?'
"No. thank you, FRIEND" replied the
actor.
"Then shah I not cut thee . slice
of the ham?"
"No, friend, not any"
"Thpn thee must take piece Of the
mutton; thy plate is empty" persisted
the good old Quaker.
'sFrielsl," said Booth, In those deep,
sfentoeian tones whose volure and pow
er had so often electrified crowded audi-
ences-' friend, / never eat any flesh
but human flesh, and prefer that raw. =
The old Quaker was speechless, and
his seat was changed to another table OF
the next meal.

Oriental Nonsense.

Calling on giddy girl, who has noth.,
ing under heaven to do but to follow the
fashions, I found her reclining on a
lounge in her eboudoir. She wore what
is called q tea-gown, Sshsped not unlike q
long, loose paletot,; with elbow-sleeves,
or angel-sleeyss, looped and gathered up
at the wrists. The material of the gar.
ment was q combination Of brocade in
gold and silver with, silk gauze. Any
fhiig more Oriental could hardly be-
found ont sof the Orient itself. Over her
bosom was q fchu Of lace, laid over the
shoultlars and crossing in front; bunch
Of red flowers was fastened at her belt;
her abundant black hair was brushed
back with q .well-counterfeited negli-
eence; the toes Of her extended feet
were stuck into embroidered sandals,
and her stockings were true fiesh-color.
A glorious creature she looked, truly, as
as she lay there in her studied careless
ness of finery. But what set ont to
say was that incense was burning at her
side. Yes, fragrant smoke was rising
laz;ly from an incinerating pastile in o
Bronze dish. This is new freak Of the
girls. The scent-bottle is put aside, and
rooms and clothes are perfumed with
incense. If the practice lasts long the
cannibal who eats . fashionable girl will
find her smoked through and through,
like Q ham, but great deal spicier.

" Tipping.v

One OF tho chief characteristics Of the
average American citizen, when travel
ing especially, is the lavishncss with
which he disburses his loose change, 80
long as the purse remains plethoric,
and even when that generally convenient
article has become attenuated and lony
drawn out, and the pieces 1t contains are
as scarce as pawnbrokers friends, the
typical native OF the home OF the FREQ
will toss his last quarter to O sleeping
car porter with rs careless an air as
though he owned stock in the Interna-
tional Electrical Company OF Chicago.
This trait OF tho universal Yankee was
long ago discovered and turned to profit
able account by foreigners of every ma
tionality, creed and color, until now the
arrival OF denizen of the land Of Uncle
Sam is regarded as but the ceming OF q
pigeon to be plpcked. It is observable,
take advantage OF this weakness of tho
nomadic American is no longer confined
to countries beyond the water, but has
become firmly implanted in his native
soil, and the custom Of fleeing travellers
in every available way is growing rapidly.
In the Eastern cities, and more particu-
larly at the popular watering places dur
ing the fashionable season, it is next to
an impossibility for the transient guest
to obtain the attention for which he Is
charged an enormous price without sub
Knitting 10 an additional tax in the shape
of fees to winters, porters, chamber
maids, check-boys and bell-boys. The
"tip" may not be, and generally is rot,
demanded openly; but in various ways,
and by devices born of experience, the
underlihg soon brings the victim to re-
alizing sense of the situation. His meals
are half served and his coffee cold; some
of his baggage is liable to be carried to
a wrong room his quarters will not be
put in order until late in the day; undue
quantities OF dust will remain on his
outer garments, and he can wager heav-
lily on the bell-boy drinking half his ma
tutinal cocktail and filing the glass with
water from the convenient pitcher. In
particularly obdurate cases, where either
the exchequer will not admit, or the idea
has become fixed that Sc or IS per day
should be ample to secure all accommo-
dations, it has been found convenient to
have the arm jostled by brother waiter
at the proper moment, with the result OF
depositing some portion Of plate Of
soup upon the offenders raiment. But,
as general thing, resort to this heroic
treatment is not rendered necessary, the
petty annoyanees generally causing an
unconditional surrender before the ex-
piration of twenty-fourh ours. Theitch-
ing palms are crossed with silver, and
all is lovely for season, when he notes
to his astonishment that his wants are
being looked after By new set Of at
tsndants, and the 1ubricating process
has to be repeated = Chicago Times.

Large Mouths Are Fashionable.

The fashion papers, which are author
ity on the styles, claim that ladies with
large mouths are oil the fashion now,
and that those whose mouths are small
and rosebud-like are all out of style.
1t is singular the freaks that are taken
by fashion. Years ago red.headed
girl, with mouth like slice cut out OF
a muskmelpn, would have been laughed
Mt, and now such u girl is worth going
miles to see. II is easier to color the
hair red, and be III the fashion, than it
is to enlarge the mouth, though mouth
that has any give 10 1t can be helped by
the constant application OF glove
stretcher during the day, and by hold
ing the cover to tin blacking-box in
the mouth while sleeping. What in the
world the leaders of fashion wanted to
declare large mouths the style for, the
heavens only can tell. Take pretty
face, and mortice out about third OF
the front of it for mouth, and it seems
to Ills as though it is great waste of the
raw material. There is no use that a
large mouth can DO put to that small
mouth would not do better, unless it is
used for pigeon~hole to file away old
sets of false teeth. They can't, certain
ly, be any better for kissing. You all
remember the travelling man who at
tended the church fair at Kalamazoo,'
where one OF the sisters would give a
kiss for 10 cents. He went up and paid
his 10 cents, and was about to kiss her
when he noticed that her mouth was ono
of these large, open. face, cylinder
escapement, o-be-continued mouths.
1t commenced at the chin and
went about four chains and three
links in northwesterly direction,

She consented, and puclSered in hand

again and found that the mouth had be-
