A Yankee word After An
Gnrinnanl l Rnnnnlnlinnn

The just now popular word dude,
meaning an empty-headed, languid
hammered young swell who bangs
his hair, proves to be no foreign i'm
portation, but like many other ex-
pressive term to be of good New
England parentage. The word
pronounced in two syllables) has
been used in the little town of Sa-
lem, n. H., for twenty years past,
and, it is claimed, was coined there.
1t is common there to speak of q
dapper young man as "dude of a
fellow" of a small animal as "a lit
tie dude" of a sweetheart as "my
dude" and of an aesthetic youth OF
the Wilde type as dude. But how
the void attained so sudden and
widespread a notoriety puzzles Sa-
lem. Its revival at New York is
credited to a disguised English
man, who remarked, after visiting
a rich club, that the young men
were all "dudes."

THERE recently died ner Lewis
ton, Me-, a woman named IIatimer,
who was the most persistent de-
vOurer of books and newspapers the
world has ever known. But she
derived no benefit therefrom, for it
was literally and not tiguratively,
that she devoured them. She de-
velOped a mania for this singular
diet very early in life; indeed, she
herself dated it from that eventful
epoch of infancy known as the pc
Rod of teething. She would eat
letter and wrapper paper if she
could not get a book or newspaper,
bnt printers ink was the sauce
which gave her an appetite. 1t is
said that she was an intelligent
woman and INDUCED in no other
freak, and, moreover, that she in
herited her morbid taste, which,
strange to say, was not the cause of
her death.

Difference Between Press and PULPIT
Chicago Tribune.

There is a wide difference of opin.
ion between what is demanded as
public morality by the clergy and
what is deemed necessary by the
great human family. The newspa-
pers are not the organs of sectarian
morals; their usefulness as teach
ers and guides would be destroyed
by their persistent variance and
conflicting theories. The newspa-
perS teach broader morality some
thing not toO:pure for ordinary NOR
tails but something appealing to the
common sense and generous SYM
pathies of mankind. The result is
that they have larger audience than
the pulpit, and exercise a greater
control as teachers of morals and
moral guides than is exercised by
the more contracted influence of the
pulpit.

THE question whether a man
should be permitted to marry his
deceased wife's sister is of perennial
interest in England. Bills to give
this permission have repeatedly
passed the House of Commons, but
have always been rejected by the
lords. The bishops are generally
opposed to the change, some of them
regarding it with horror, and de-
claring that not even an act of par
Lament would so far satisfy their
cOnsciences as to allow them to
sanction by the ceremonies of the
church a union which they believe
to be immoral and expressly for
hidden by the laws of God.
