 Term Meaning Skunk.

The Name Seems to Come from an Indian
 Term Meaning Skunk.
 A. r. Chamberlain WIT ;es this in Notes and Queries, on the derivation of Chicago (Vol. iii, p. 273). The usual etymology given for this word is that adopted by Lacomhe ("Dict. ct Gramm. de Ia LaA,ue des Cris," Qs74, p. 7O6): "ChicagO (Cris) pour: chG5ak, ou, s5bak, betepuante, putois, qui au locatif, fait c1tikdt0k;;" Cuoq. (''Lexique de Ia Langue Algonquine, 1886, pp. SS, S9): "Chtcago, pour ch5cacOng, la bete puante;7 Mclean (''the Indians; Their Manners and Customs," 1859, p. 23); "ChicGgO, from chieag, Q skunk" Petitot (''En Route pour la Mer Glaciale,' 1888, D. SO): 'Chicdh0uk, en hiiiine un trou de putois, est, de fait, un bien sale nom, ma foi! pour une si belle viile;" Captain Kelton (''Indian Names of Places Near the Great Lakes," tSYS).
 Dr. D. G. Brinton (American Anti quarian and Oriental Journal, Vol. xii, p. 6S) says: "TLis popular etymology is worse than doubtful. Tn CLipeway tcAikakana Gin which the final syllable is q HaSdl, SouIuIlIg tO LilG I1Su ears 1lk6 an obscure O), means simply near the shore, and this is the real origin of the name Chicago"
 Another suggested derivation is that given in the 1880 edition of Chambers Encyclopedia" from an Indian word, meaning ''wild onion" Gin Algonkin, cikabcacb;; Ojebways, abegauGuhsrun2D.
 In the account of La Salle Q6o2), in Margry's Voyages les Francais sur les Grands Lacs, etc." (1860), 'Ia riviere de ChGcGGolsa" is mentioned (p. 55O), and afterward it is stated that "Les CicacG Ou Ch!cdtha sont au sud de cette riviere," and notice is also taken of ''une petite riviere que les Cbicacha, ap- pellant ChicAcclG" tp. 552.) There is further mention (p. 593) of tune certaine petite rivicre que Ton appeile Chicag0."
 Schoolcraft (p. 5773) says: ''TLis word is derived from the odor of the wild leek, formerly abundant on Chicago creek, and the local termination of the words in O.

AN EGREGlOUS CHUMP.
How a Young Legal Luminary Killed His
 Fathers Golden Calf.

How Young Legal Eu7oinaFy kIiieO HIS
 Fathers Golden Calf
 Being told that in one of the Russian law courts there is Q case which has been on the docket for more than four hun dred years, says the Washington Post, we are reminded of the humiliating fact that our own beloved country is very young. Still we are proud to say that in the brief time of our Nations exist ence we have succeeded in accumuiat- ing a large and choice assortment of cases which may not tonly show our excel lent intentions but give evidence that in time we will have the most elaborate and costly collection of antique law cases in the civilized world. We be- lieve we have no such chumpish lawyers as the one on whom the story is told in London. When he was young man his father retired from practice, leaving the business to him. Within a week the young lawyer came home and proudly proclaimed:
 ''Well, father, I have done in three days what you couldn't do in all the years of your practice"
 ''What is that, my son?"
 , ''I have settled that Noa estate case. 5
 ''Settled it, my son? Settled it, did you say?"
 ''Yes, father, I settled it in three days, and I could have done it in one if the judge had been at home."
 "Young man." said the astounded parent, ''you are an ass, a oonsummate ass. Why, sir, four generations of your ancestors have lived on that case and grown rich, and you and your children's children might have done the same if you had not been an egregious ass.

Why We Sink in ouicksand.

Quicksand is composed chiefly of small particles of mica mixed largely with water. The mica is so smooth that the fragments slip upon each other with the greatest facility, so that any heavy body which dispiaces them will sink, and con- tinue to sink until solid bottom is reached. When particles of sand are ragged and angular any weight pressing on them will crowd them together until they are competed into solid mass. A sand composed of mica or soapstone, when mixed with sufficient water, seems incapable of such consolidation.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
A Condensed History of the Adoption of
 tine Stars and Stripes.

ti1e stars ana ctrlpe5s
 The recent discussions concerning the alteration of the United States flag, in recognition of the admission of the Eew States into the Union. naturally pro voked a certain amount of inquiry into the history of the stars and stripes. The general facts in regard to tpe adoption cf the National flag are ncre CT lees well known, including the much-6e5ated question as to whether CT not tho enl- bIem owes is present form to tho fact that the family arms cf George Wash ilgton included the stars and stripes that are now 90 familiar. However this nay be, 1t is certain taa5 inc flag w2s b. act Of Congress passed Juno Il. TIT, established 5S Living thirteen red and white stripes and q union of th-lteen white stars in a blue field, and t1e stacs. instead Of being the six-poinied star cf heraidry, as they arc on our coins, gre, and always have been. tho five pointed stars of Washing tons coat-of- arms, known in heraldry as ''mullets."
 The flag was, January i3, 1794, Gocreed by act of Congress to have the number of both stars and s,e:pcs changed to fifteen, and this was the flag that flew ct the battles of Fort McEenry and New Orleans in the war of 1912, and which was sung of for the first time as the ''Star-Spang!ed Banner" By an act of Congress passed April 1, ISIS, the flag was again changed finally. and it was resolved that the stri pes should be thirteen in number and that the blue field should contain as many stars as there might be States in the Union. This much is generally known, but only a few perhaps are aware that the flag Gs it is now was des: gned by Captain Eamuel c. Reid, and that tho one made by his wife, si,ken ensiFn of the pres ent form, flew at the mas:t cad of the brig General Arms. .rorg when it was destroyed by ti.e British squadron in the port of Fayal in 1914. Congress passed resolution of thanks to Captain Reid in 1859. and he died sho7sly after in New York.
 It was the claim of his son, Colonel Samuel c. Reid, now living and practic- ing as lawyer in Washington, for the value of the ship thus destroyed ia neutral port-a claim which fingered for years and years before Congress - which gave to the late David D. Lloyd the groundwork Of the story of "The Senator" whilo old Colonel R"ld himself, to whose stubborn perseverance, tho passage of the claim was duo, formed the org inal model for Mr. Cranes character O. s5ilas Dennan in the comedy. Colonel ,sar,.,a1 C Enid is Cail to la ccrnawhat of character in his way, and 1t is cor- tain that he never tires of raccunting tho details of the action in which hi5 fathers ship was lost, and in which it is claimed the English lost over three hundred men and officers, while the American loss was only two killed and seven wounded. The General Armstrong was finally scuttled near the beach, and , subsequently, fired and blown up by the enemy.-N. Y. Times.

GRANTS HoRsEMANsHIP.
An Incident That Occurred After the Bat-
 tIe of Tort Hudson.


 Speaking of General Grants fine borsemanship," said General N. P. Banks to a New York Tribune reporter, ''reminds n.e of an incident that oc- cured soon after the battle of Port Hud- son, in which he gave me the race of my life. General Grant paid the army under my command visit at the period mentioned and was asked to review it. lie brought with him no horses, and I loaned him for the occasion the mag nifcent bay parade horse which the patriotic citizens of Massachusetts pre- sented to me when l went to the front in 1862. All of my old soldiers will re- member that bay horse. l rode on the review thorough bred black mare, and I was in constant state e anxiety lest she would run away with ne when warmed up. Well, the troops were drawn up in line and we rode down the front lines at SOW pace, but when we reached the rear lines Grant would put the bay at his ut most speed, and as he was near ly thoroughbred he could run. Grant sat on the bay as if he was part of him, but tie di:ScuIty l found myself in WAS not to keep up at the regulation distance, but to prevent my animal from distanc:ng the General and running of with me. Grant rode like demon and l after him until the review was finished, the troops in the meantime watching tEe scene with in- teres5 mingled with aelonishment. For some days alterHa"d the troops were heard discussing the event and, as far as 1 can learn, never sct!,rd the cues tion as to whether it vas horse-r race or m;.isary review"
 ''W:.iie or the suh; ;act of horses, con- tinued the General, the two animals that took with rla into the eeid at the outbreak of t:-c civil var survived all of the can. pa:g:.s in wh:ch 1 was engaged. When 1 returned to c."Ii l,ursu:.s 1 took my horses batk tu \ 1,sach@srtts with me and kept the fa.thf@l animals until they died.

Queen Victoria in Trade.

When a Queen becomes a cattle breeder and speculator, runs in her cattle at stock shows, and carries off all the prizes, we are apt to modify our preconceived notions of royal dignity.
 let this is what the thrifty old English sovereign is doing, and much to the dis gust of the cattlemen and farmers who can not compete with her. She not only gobbles the premiums, but on the strength of them sells of the prize animals at fine prices, and yet aristo- cratic England regards trade as vulgar.

FORESTS LAST BILL.
Lone Ten Dollar Note That Proved a
 Mascot at Poker.

Mascot at Poker.
 Speaking of General Forrest, the cav airy hero of the war, who killed more men with his saber than any other one soldier on either side, the Florida Times Union says that he returned to Memphis after the surrender With his wife and with only ten-doiiar bill in his pocket. Mrs. Forrest was lady of the most quiet, am;abie Christian virtues, and the only person, by the way, who had any control of the wizard of the saddle" while in a passion. One touch of her gentle hand, one soft, tender word, would calm his most tempestuOus moods in moment.
 Sitting alone together the night of their return to Memphis, General For rest said: ''Mary, know you are a strict church member and have always op- posed cards. But this ten dollars is all there is on earth between US and the poor-house. Won't you consent to my going out tonight and hunting up game ofdraw? And won't you pray that may win while l am out?'
 In vain the good woman protested. It was sin in the sight of God, she said, and sin could not finally prosper. He went, found the party he wanted and began the game. The cards ran his way from the first and his Winni2-5 grow so large that he set his beaver on the floor beside him and used it as 2 depository. About two o'clock in the morning he lifted his tile, bent his head down and placed the hat carefully on it, retaining the money inside. Reaching his home he emptied his winnings into Mrs. Fer rests lap, saying: Mary, count it." She found that he had upward of S1 ,500 "a sum which gave him good start in life after having lost all. Il believe" said he, relating the incident to some friends, that Mary, in spite of her Ob- jections, really prayed for nc while was gone. Atany rato found her still sitting up when I got back, and know her prayers have many and many a time served ne good turn"

RUINED BY A CIPHER.
A aan's Life Wrecked by Moment of
 Enr.-effniness.


 'There goes man whose life was ruined by forgetting the simple charac- ter O. said prominent railroad man to San Francisco Examiner reporter, pointing to ragged, besotted man shambling along the street, unmindful of the rain.
 He was train dispatcher on the Ohio 6 Mississippi railroad once, having worked up to that position from messen- ger boy in the telegraph office. One Sunday he had only two trains on his division, an express train Westward bound and a fast stock train running East. The day was warm and sultry, and Bill, for that was his name, had hard work to keep awake. He knew that as soon as he made the meeting point for the two trains he could doze, and he mpatieGtly awaited the time. When the trains were close enough to- gether for him to figure meeting point he sent an order to the passenger train to meet and pass the stock train at a little station called Willow Valley, fixing the time at 12:50. To the stock train he sent an order that it could have until 1:25 to make Willow Valley for the passenger. See the mistake. He forgot the 0, and hence gave the stock train thirty-fve minutes more than he should. Bill saw his mistake ten minutes after he had made it, but there being no telegraph station between the points where the trains were given the orders or at the meeting point he could do nothing to rectify it. He sent for the superintendent and ordered out the wrecking crew, then sat at the key pale as death, the cold precipitation running down his face in streams, awaiting news Of the collison.
 Itcame. The passenger train reached Willow Valley on time, waited the re- quired thirty minutes under the time card rules for the freight train and then pulled out. Three minutes later the two trains met on 8 curve, both run ming at high rate of speed. Fourteen lives were lost in the collision, besides Sl0O,000 worth of property destroyed. Bill resigned at once, and the next day disappeared. For a long time it was thought he had committed suicide, but I met him on the street here one day just as you see him-a total wreck"

POCR ROTEL-KEEPlNG.
The Noble Work Done by Reformer in
 CooD-Skin Cap.

One night year ago, writes a New York Sun correspondent, there were half a dozen of Us to go up to the village ho- tel in the rickety old bus, and among the crowd was solemn-looking old chap, dressed in very plain goods and wearing 6 coon-skin cap. It was the typical village hotel landlord in the bar-room, very fresh young man be- hind the register, mighty little for sup per, and that poorly cooked, and there was more or less growing. The man with the coon-skin cap was treated very brusQuely by the clerk, and the frowsy- headed waiter girl didn't seem to care whether he had any thing to eat or not. He didn't say much, but it was evident that he was mad.
 After supper the landlord and ''COOn- skin had private confab. When it was ended the old man came downstairs, opened the front door, and then turned to the clerk, and said:
 ''You git!''
 ''What do you mean?"
 q have rented this hotel. SkiDl"
 The clerk put on his coat and hat and walked out. Then ''Coon-skin'' sent word to the cook and waiter girl to be out in half an hour, for the hostler to be gone by midnight, and for the bar keeper to vacate by noon the next day. He kindly allowed us to stop over night, but we had to get our breakfast at a bakery. By noon the doors of the hotel were nailed up, signs of ''closed" posted, and as we footed it down to the depot the solemn old man thawed out sufi- ciently to observe:
 ''I'm after seven more of 'em along this line of railroad, and if I can shut lem up the public will be in my debt. I have figured it out to my entire satisfaction, and I truly believe that three-ffths of the crime in this country is melted by poor hotel-keeping."

-. MARKET STREET ROBBERY.
T. ID. McKee's Cigar store Entered an"
Goods Taken.

Sometime between midnight and day
light Yesterday moring thieves entered
the cigar store Of J. d. McKee, op,,
nosite the Mcclure House, and secured
y small amount of money and a consid-
cradle number of fine cigars. Mr.. NC
Kee said Yesterday afternoon he had no
definite idea as to just what his loss was
but it might run up into the thousands
as the stock was pretty well gone over
and good selection made by the thieves
An en- rance was effected by climbing
over the transome over the front door.
This was protected inside by wire
screen. but that was torn OIL.
The robbery was a very bold one, as
there is scarcely moment during the
night when people are not passing the
store. and there are always number OF
hack and quincy drivers about on the
opposite side of the street. Besides
officer West, who is on the beat, passes
about every fifteen minutes during the
night. and at three o'clock yesterday
morning the officer and reporter stood
in front of the store for a quarter OF an
hour talking.
