Speculation as TO the Word
Yankee

mere IS FAMILIAR poem, recItIng
the tragic fate of agrasshopper attacked
by turkey, which runs thus:
"a grasshopper sat on sweei-potato vine,
Sweet-potato vine, sweet-potato vine,
A big wild turkey came running up behind
And yanked the poo. gsasshopper
OF the sweet-poiato vine, swcet-potato vine.
This little classic is quoted by Prof.
Skeat i'll his great chronological Die
tionary to illustrate the derivation of
the word yankee" This he traces to
the verb "to yank," i. e., to jerk,
Yankee, therefore, meaning quick-moy-
ing, and hence spry. smart, active. The
same verb in Dutch and German is
"jagen."- Boston Journal.

A Western writer suggests that the
summer food of hogs should be more
nitrcgenous than corn, and recon-
mends green oats and peas. The pea
is very rich in muscle and boDe-build-
lug elements, and oats are also superior
to corn in this respect. The crop
should be sown in the proportion of
two bushels of peas one of oats per
ere, and we'll covered. The pigs
should be turned in when the pea is
lust passing out of the milk.

first. In IS4o, he started a magazine
called The DIAL, which taught the
"transcendental philosophy" at that
time greatly exercising the keen wits of
New England. This publication lived

poems Saw the light in 1876, in which
year two series of Essays" were also

RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
"THE SAGE OF CONCORD"

Like that Of Longfellow, the life of
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who died at
Concord, Mass, April 27th 1882, was
uneventful, and the public interest in
both men dependson the ap PROBATION
by the people OF work produced in STU
dious retirement. Their lives present
ed monotony, and yet the record of
the most trifling of their doings and
sayings is of value in the eyes of an in
telligent public, eager to welcome the
words of wisdom and beauty, and al
miringly grateful towards those who
utter them.
The deceased poet and philosopher,
possessed wide, if not particularly
numerous, circle Of readers. Like
those OF Longfellow, his works are read
probably as extensively in Great Britain
and the English Colonies, as in the
United States, and Nations are bereav-
ed now that the gentle and unassuming
Sage of Concord, has passed away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was the son of
Unitarian minister. He was born in
Boston, May 25th 1903. During the
four years from 1917 to 1921, he stud
led at Harvard College, where he grad
uated. 1t is told of him that he was
not model student. in the sense of
superiority in performing set work, but
he was great reader and followed a
decided personal judgment in his choice
of books. Like many other great men
he started life as a teacher, which pro-
fession he did not follow long, bu re-
|inquished it for the study of theology
an ancestral pursuit, by the way-for it |
is recorded that there was always a
clergyman in the American branch Of
the family from the time when Concord
was founded, back liz the seventeenth
century. For three years, from 1899
o 1882, he ministered thought to a
congregation IN Boston, but resigned
when his people and he had grown
lopelessly at variance in their c6ncep-
ions of religion. Retiring to Concord
where he lived to the end, Mr. Emef.
on devoted himself to life ofletters,
producing considerable number of
looks IN prose and poetry and lectur-
ng in this country and abroad as solic-
ted by demand of his utterances. He
ever cultivated popularity as speak
but his voice was, at one period of ,
is life, heard frequently on the ques-
ons of slavery, woman's rights, and j
