THE DENVER SERVANT GIRL.

A Denver man says that his servants
frequently come into his parlor to
help entertain company. He gave a
dinner party a few weeks ago and his
servant was told to serve wine. One
of the guests declined, and the girl eX-
pressed her establishment by saying.
Don't yez want no wine?''
The gentleman replied that he did
not, when the girl looked at him for
moment and said: ''What's de mat
ter? Do yez drink hard?''
Another member of the group said
that his servant would not work Sum
days, and had two nights to herself.
She came in one night and asked if she
and her young man could have the
parlor. The gentleman also related
how he and his wife surprised a SER
want at the theatre. He and his wife
attended a Dixey performance, and his
wife swept the house with her glasses,
and was almost paralyzed to see the
household terror in fashion box with
her young man. The servant had
borrowed Nilegreen silk dress that
belonged to her mistress, and was sim.
ply ravishing. Upon being expostu-
lated with she replied that she had nc
dresses to wear, and would not stay il
| any hOnSp where she cOn1d not have
communications.

At the time when Columbus started in

THE ORIGIN OF MRs aRUNDY.

Some years ago the expression
"What will Mrs. Grundy say?" was
constantly i'll peoples mouths. The
phrase was originally taken from Tom
Notions comedy, "speed the Plow."
The play opens with view of a farm
house, where Farmer Ashfeld is seen
sitting at table, enjoying his ale, and
holding the following colloquy with
his wife:
Ashfield !, Well, dame, welcome
home. What news does thee bring
from market?
Dame-What news? What always
told you-that Farmer Grundy's wheat
brought five shillings a quarter more
than ours did.
Ashfield-All the better for he.
Dame-And 1 assure you Dame
Grundy's butter was quite the crack
OF the market.
Ashfield-Be quiet, will we. Always
ding-dinging Dame Grundy into my
ears-"What will Mrs. Grundy say?''
The meaning Of the term ''sub rosa, :"
''under the rose,'' is Gin strict conf
dence." Cupid gave Harpocrates (the
god of silence) a rose to bride him not
to betray the amours of Venus. The
rose thus became the emblem of
silence. 1t was sculptured on the cell
ings of banquet rooms to remind the
guests that what was said there was
not to be repeated; and down to 1926
rose was placed over the confess
sional.

That Highway of Nations.

The broad Atlantic, is ever stormy thorough

ride the waves ever SO loftily, seamen must

together with colicky pains and much inward
unecsiness is often endured when Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters would have for flied the voy-
ayers against them. Sea captains, and in fact
all old salts and veteran travellers are acguaint-
ed with the protective value of this estimable
preventive and remedy, and are rarely unpro-
rided with it. Emigrants to the far West should
use it as safeguard against malaria Seek t Q

What Lis Said of COnfucianism.

John Russell Young, the late minister
to China, in a published interview states
that Confucianism is the religion Of the
ruling classes of China; indeed, it can
hardly be called religion in any sense
understood by Europeans or Americans,
for it recognizes neither God nor a life
to come Mr.. Young Characterizes it as
philanthropical and sentimental atheism.
COnfucianism is secular religion embrac-
ing highly developed ethical system
The Chinese are said to worship their an
cestors, not in the sense that we worship
God, but partaking more of the Roman
Catholic reverence paid to patron saints:
1t is an exaggerated expression OF fllai
affection. The Chinaman hOnors learn.

Not So Bad After All.

Statistics show that the people of the
United States from being one of the
hardest drinking nations are becoming
among the most sparing consumers Of
spirituous liquors. When Dr. Rush in
1885, began his attack upon intemperance,
whisky and rum were regarded as among
the necessaries of life, and were almost
as free as water. In farm labor ardent
spirits were regular daily ration.
1t is related by writers of the period
that in the country clergymen drank as
hard as their practitioners; that women
and children joined in the revels, and
that it was no more uncommon to meet a
tipsy clergyman than to see woman or
half grown boy staggering under an over
load of spirits. or a farm hand lying blind
drunk by the roadside. In Pennsyl-
vania there were in 1890 no less than
5000 stills in operation in population of
434, 373, or one still for every eighty seven
of the inhabitants
