"Destiny" Of The Great.

One might roughly indicate the.
difference between ordinary men
and men of eminent mark by re-
Iferring to their relative possession
Of consciousness of dcstany. So
often has a seneo 81: being set
apart and devoted to something
laccomplned great capacity that. it
would seem to be natural and
legitimate help to the carrying out
of any aduous underta king. Sch
openhauer declares that no one
lcan be blind to his own merit any
tmoe than the man that is six feet
high can remain ignorant Of the
fact that he towers above his fell
lows. He notes the pride with
which Horace, Lucretius, Ovid,
Dante, Shakespeare and Bacon
have spoken of themselves, and
quotes the Englishman who Wit
tily observed that merit and mod
esty have nothing in comen except
the initial letter. 81 have always

The fact is that as long as he

Thus it comes about demonic men,

Carlyle in sickness and neglect.

Origin of Fruits.

Cherries were known in Asia as far back as
the Seventeenth century. Garlic came to us
first from Sicily and the shores of the Medi-
terranean. Asparagus was originally wild
sea coast plant, and is a native of Great
Britain. Nectarine received its name from
nectar, the principal drink of the gods. The
tomato is a native of South America, and it
takes its name from Portuguese word.
Greengage is called after the Gage family,
who first took it into England from a monas-
terry in Paris. Parsley is said to have come
from Egypt, and mythology tells US it was
used to adorn the head of Hercules Apples
were originally brought from the east by the
Romans. The crab apple is indigenous to
Great Britain. 1t is curious fact that while
the names of our animals are of Saxon o. gin,
Norman names are given to the flesh they
yield. The onion was almost an object of
worship with the Egyptians 1000 years be-
fore the Christian era. 1t first came from
India. The cantaloupe is native of America,
and so called from the name of place near
Rome, whereit was first cultivated in Europe.

Origin of Some Slang Words.


Golden Days says ''pow-wow" comes from
the Indians
The word ''boss" comes from the low Dutch,
and means master.
''Kidnap" comes from the mapping or steal-
ing of a kid, gypsy or child.
'Calaboose," prison; ''picaroon," a pir-
ate; ''palaver," to talk-are all Spanish.
"a rum chap" is simply gypsy lad; it has
no relation to the product of the still.
Dude" meaning a dandy, has no appreci-
able derivation. Like Topsy, it growed.
pal" is brother, and ''conl, for nose,
comes from the spouting fountain, the conche
of the Romans.
'Demiiohn" comes from the \ able DANA
CHAN, itself taken from the Persian glass
making town of Damaghan.
The common slang word ''mash" is from
beautiful gypsy word, mafada, which means
''to charm by the eyes"
The good dictionary word "vamp" was at
first a slang word, being rubbing up of old
hats and shoes. Now, from being a cobbler's
word, it has become classic, and we talk of
revamping the language.
A tinker's dam has nothing to do with
swearing. 1t is merely the dam or stoppage,
made of flour and water, with which the
tinker stops the gap he is mending until the
tin or the pewter he is using has cooled.

When they were both safely across, and
Bruce had shaken the water from his shaggy
coat, he induced the little fellow TO get on
his back for ride. The moment the dog felt
the child's arms around his neck, and the lit
tie feet digging into his sides, he trotted back
across the plank and homeward, never stop
ping until his young charge was safely be-
yond any temptation of repeating his danger
Gus performance.
Bruce wasa famous watch dog, and guarded
the admiral's premises in Washington more
effectively than any night yatchman, for it
would have taken more courage to confront
him than TO encounter any average watch
man. Poor Bruce met his death in an igno-
minious way, despite his bravery. He pos
sessed common weakness-he would over
eat. One hot day he INDUCED in an unusually
greedy manner and had in consequence an
attack that ended his life.

Lnrd Rute,s RESIDENCE.

The largest and costliest private mansion
in the world is that belonging to Lord Butte,
called "Montstuart," and situated near Roth
esay, England. 1t covers nearly two acres,
is built in gothic style; the walls, turrets and
balconies are built of stone. The immense
tower in the center of the building is 100 feet
high, with balcony around the top. The
halls are constructed entirely of marble and
alabaster; all the rooms are finished in ma
hogany, rosewood and walnut; the fireplaces
are all carved marbles of antique designs.
The exact cost of this fairy palaceiis not
known, but it has never been estimated at
less than SS,000,000.

Admiral Porter,s Dog Bruce.

All boys who like the water will be inter
eSted in Bruce, once a favorite dog of Ad-
miral David D. Porter, of our navy, says a
writer in st. Nicholas, who tells the follow
ing story:
Admiral Porter had little grandson, who
lived near deep, rapid stream. This stream
was crossed by narrow plank. One day the
little fellow attempted to cross this plank
alone. There was no one near to warn him
of danger or prevent him but the dog. Re
alizing the child's peril, Bruce ran TO him,
and, catching hold of his dress, tried to pull
him back. The youngster was determined to
have his own way, and resented the dogs in
reference by beating poor Bruce in the face
with big stick he carried until the dog was
forced by pain to relinquish his hold. The
faithful animal then jumped into the water
and swan slowly across the stream below
the plank, evidently with the intention of
saving the child should he happen to fall in.

owner at that time was Commodore J. c.
Stevens, of the New York Yacht club The
America was built by George Steers, at
Greenpoint, and registered in custom house
tonnage at 170 tons. She carried no foretop-
mast and displayed no boom on her foresaiL
She took the lead in the great race of Friday,
Aug. q, 1851, and held it against fourteen
crack British yachts, completing the run of
eighty-one miles, despite the loss of her jib-
boom, eight minutes in advance of the cutter
Aurora. The cup then came to this country,
and has remained here ever since. Contests
for it took place in 1870, 1871, 1876, 1881, 1885
and 1887, the American yachts coming off
victorious in every instance. aass
In 1870 the Cambria came over the seas and
was beaten and beaten badly, the old Amer
lea, Dauntless, Magic, Idler. Silvie, Madgie
Phantom, Alice and Halcyon all making bet
ter time. In 1871 the Livonia came out and
tried her mettle with the Columbia, who beat
her handsomely the first time by 27m. les,
and the second by nearly minutes. In the
third trial she was defeated, owing to the loss
of her flying jibstay and the breaking of her
steering gear A few days after the keel
schooner Sappho defeated the Livonia twice,
once by Som els, and again by 25m. 27s.
The next race was in 1876, when the Canadian
yacht Countess of Dufferin came down to try
for the cup. The Madeleine defeated her in
fine shape, first by ION. sos, and again by
27m. 14s. The Canadians made second trial
in 1881, with the centerboard sloop ATLANTA.
She was beaten both by the Mischief and
Oracle, the Mischief's margin of safety being
respectively 2Sm. 30s., and 3Sm. 54s.

THE GREAT SPHINX.

In 1917 the sand was cleared away in front
down to the paws, and the tablet of the mon
arch Thothmes, which is set into its heart,
was uncovered. But the sand drifted over it
again, and it was once more uncovered in
1869, at the opening of the Suez canal. But
now NJ. Maspero, of the Boulak museum, has
undertaken to clear away the sand all around
it and expose the gigantic figure to view as it
was in the time of Pliny, when travellers
came from all parts to see it and left their
names in Greek and Latin scratched upon its
paws This great Sphinx is sculptured out of
natural rock and measures 152 feet long by
IS feet high.

Queer Epitaphs.

The Boston Transcript has been publishing
some oddities in the way of epitaphs lately
Here are few specimens:
When 1 was like you,
In years not few,
On the ocean TOLD.
On the line have broil'd,
In Greenland I've shver'd.
Now from hardships DELIVERED
Capsized by old Death,
surrendered my breath,
And now 1 lie snug
AS bug in rug.
Copied from New England Palladium, Bos-
ton, Friday, Oct 4, 1916; was found in Wad-
dington church yard England, in memory
of William Richard Phelps, late boatswain
of a. NJ. S. InYincible; died April 81, 1779.
The following epitaph is copied from a vii
lage burying ground near Au Sable \ lasm,
n. Y:
Sally Thomas is here, and that's enough.
The candle is out, also the snuff.
Her souls with God, you need not fear,
And what remains is inferred here.
The following quaint rhyme may be found
on an ancient tombstone in Wrentham:
A tub Of water she fell In,
Not knowing it would take her breath,
But oh, alasl the fatal sting
Did prove to her O sudden death.
This was taken from a churchyard in York
shire, England, on woman who sold earth
enware;
Beneath this stone lies Catherine Gray,
Changed from busy life to lifeless clay;
By earth and clay she got her pelf,
And now she is turned to clay herself
Ye weeping friends let me advise
Abate your grief and dry your eyes
For what avas these tears?
Who knows but in a score of years,
In some tall pitcher or broad pan,
She in her shop may be again!

A Big FerrYboat.

The largest ferryboat ever constructed was
named the Solano, and is now in use daily
conveying train across the Straits of Car
quinez, between Benecia and Port Costa. The
Solano is AGO feet long, 116 feet wide and 20
foot depth of hold. She has eight steel boil
ers, four rudders and tonnage of 5, 81 tons.
On her decks are four railway tracks, with
capacity for forty-eight ordinary freight cars
and two locomotives, or twenty-eight pas
aerger coaches of the largest build
