ORIGIN OF THE NAMES OF FABRICS
Many kinds of dry-goods possess old
English names, which are used, more
or less corrupted, throughout the world.
The origin of these old names are given
by Sir George Birdwood as follows
Damask is from the city of Damascus

from Calcutta, and muslin from Mosul.
Buchram derived its name from Bo-
chara; fustian comes from Fostat. n

the modern Cairo is descended. Taffeta
and tabby from a street in Bapdad
Cambria is from Cambria. Gauze has
its name from GAIA; baize from Baiae.
dimity from Damietta, and leans Jaen'
Drugget is derived from q CITY i'm IRE

from the Italian vellute-wolly latin.
vellus-a hide or pelt.) Shawl is the

The men who drill oil wells become
wonderfully expert at their work or
perhaps it would be more accurate to
say that only those who are very expert
can get work. A correspondent who
has watched the process thus describes
a driller's skill: He has spent years
learning his trade, and learns something
new with each we'll he drills. He
knows the stratiicatiOn of the earth
more minutely than any geological
books teach, and he can tell how near
the bit is to the oil-bcaring sand by the
little particles that cling to it when he
takes it out, or by few grains of
gravel washed out of the bailings.
With his hand upon the cable he marks
its quivering as delicately as a physi-
clan with his finger on a patients pulse,
and by the faint variations Of the
tremOr understands what the wee bit is
doing, sometimes almost half mile
down the narrow hole. The style of
different drillers varies as does the
handwriting of different men, or as the
touch of players on the piano They
know each others peculiarties, and an
experienced driller can frequently tell
who is in derrick without seeing him
if he is allowed to watch the work
awhile, or, what is more important in
these days of mysteries, if he knows
the driller he can guess the depth oi
| TIE well within q hundred feet if he
gets his eyes on tho outside machinery

Twain on Beecher.
TELLING HOW LHE REVEREND GENTLE
MAN SUCCEEDED AT FARMING.

TELLING HOW LHE REVEREND GENTLE
MAN SUCCEEDED AT FARMING.
Mr. Beecher raises some of the finest |
crops of wheat in the country, but the
unfaVOrable difference between the |
cost of producing it and its market |
value after it is produced has interfer-
ed considerably with its success as a |
commercial enterprise. His special
weakness is hogs, however. lie con-
siders hogs the best game farm pro-
duces. He buys the original pig for
$3.50, and feeds him $40 worth OF corn,
and then sells him for about 50. This
is the only crop he ever makes any
money on. He losses ON the corn but
he makes 81 so on the hog. He does
not mind this because he never eX-
poets to make anything on corn. And
any way it turns out, he has the eX-
citement Of raising the hog, whether
he gets the worth of him or not. His
strawberries would be q comfortable
success if the robins would eat turnips,
but they won't and hence the difficulty.
One of Mr.. Beecher's most harassing
difficulties in his farming operations
comes to the close resemblance of diff
erent sorts of seeds and plants to each
other. Two years ago his far sighted
ness warned him that there was going
to be a great scarcity of watermelons,
and therefore he put i'll Il crop Of q
acres of that fruit But when they
came up they turned out to be pump
kins, and dead loss was the conse-
quence. Sometimes a portion of the
int hn no
promising sweet potatoes, and comes
out the infernalist carrOts-thOugh !
have never heard him express it just
that way, When he bought his farm
he found one egg in every hens nest
on the place. He said that here was
just the reason so many farmers failed !;
they scattered their forces too much !;
concentration was the idea. So he
| gathered those eggs together, and put
/ them all under one experienced old
! hen. That hen roasted over that con-
tract night and day for eleven weeks,
under the anxious personal supervision
of Mr.. Beecher himself, but she could
not ''phase" those egg. Why? Because
they were those infamous porcelain
things which are used by ingenious
and fraudulent farmers rs nest eggs"
But perhaps Mr.. Beecher's most disas-
trous experience was the time he tried to
raise an immense crop of dried apples.
He planted 81 800 worth but never one OF
them sprouted. He has never been
able to understand to this day what
was the matter with those apples.
Mr.. Beecher's fnrm is not triumph.
1t would be easier on him if he work ed
it OH shares with some one; but he
cannot find anybody who is willing to
stand half the expense, and not many
that are able. Still persistence in any
cause is bound to succeed. He was
very inferior farmer when he first
began, but a prolonged and unilinching
assault upon his agricultural difficulties
has had its effect ut last, and he is now
fast arising from affluence to poverty

MENDING THE OLD FLAG.
BY WILL CARLETON.


In the silent gloom of garret roOm
With cob webs round it creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
veteran worn and sleeping.
Dinghy old each wTinkled fold
BY the dust of years was shaded;
Wounds of the storm were upon its form;
The crimson stripes were faded.
Twas mournful sight i'll the gray twilight,
This thing of humble seeming.
That once so proud DER the cheering crowd,
Had carried its colors cleaning;
Stained with mold were the braids OF gold
That had flashed in the sun rays kissing;
Of faded hue with its fields of blue,
And some of the stars were missing.
Three Northern maids and three from glades
where dreams the South land weather,
With glances kind and their arms entwined,
Came up the stair together;
They gazed awhile with Il thoughtful smile
At the crouching form before them:
With clinging holds they grasp its folds.
And out of the darkness bore them.
They healed its scars, they found its stars.
And brought them all together.
Three Northern maids and three from glades
Where smiles the Southland weather;
They mended away through the Summer day,
Made glad by an inspiration
To fling it high at the smiling sky
On the birthday of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the Summerair
With brisk breeze round il creeping.
Newly bright through the glistening light,
The flag went rapidly sweeping:
Cleaning and bold were its bralds of gold,
And flashed in the sun-rays kissing;
Red, white and blue, were of deepest hue,
And none of the stars were missing.
