Nine TaIlors Make a Man.

Everybody has heard of the saying
that it takes nine tailors to make man,
and the general supposition is that it re-
fleets upon tailors in some indefinite man.
ner, and no one knows where the saying
originated. Now, the truth is that the
saying is misquoted, and the proper word
is tailers, or tellers, not tailors, as often
written, and its origin can be traced
back several centuries.
1t was one of the customs when a per-
son died in the parish to toll the church
bell once forevery year of the deceaseds
life. But nobody from this could tell
the sex of the departed, SO the sexton,
to crafty public curiosity, after ringing
IN the usual way the number of years,
would give eight quick strokes if the de-
ceased was a woman and nine if it was a
man. This being rung at the end of the
strokes for the years were called tailers,
and thus nine tailers made a man.

magazines, etc., published in the United

The most glorious of all the discoveries

may lay his hand and proudly say, "This

to all the extraordinary inventions that

over antiquity-is the invention of print

1t is boon of unqualified good, its
possession is entirely beneficial, for it has
added to our store of knowledge, multi
piled our enjoyments, and given a new
cast to our mind and increased activity
to our powers. 1t has raised us in the
scale of thinking beings, has enlarged the
limits of our reasons, added to the dig

Trout and superstition.

The trout is derived from a word mean
ing to eat, just as salmon from one mean
ing to leap. The former fish has acquired
some celebrity in folk medicine. Thus it
is superstition of Shropshire that a pie
dish full of cider should be taken down
TO river and a good sized trout caught
and drowned in the cider, would a per-
son recover from the whooping cough
Trout and cider were then to be carefully
carried back to the house, and the sick
person must eat the trout after it has
been fried and drink the cider. In North
umberland for the same ailment trout's
head is put into the mouth of the suf.
ferer, and, as it is said, the trout is left
to breathe in the patients mouth. Still
more curiously, Mr.. Henderson relates
that friend, when fishing in Cleveland,
was asked by peasant to give him a
"wick" Qive) trout to lay on the stomach
of one of his children who was much
troubled with worms, trout SO applied
being a certain cure for the complaint

The Violin Makers.

In Markneukirchen, with its surround.
ing villages, Klingenthal, Fleissen, Rohr.
back and Graslitz, in Saxony, are about
fifteen thousand people who do nothing
else, day after day, but make violins.
The inhabitants, from the little urchin
to the old gray headed man, the small
girl and the old grandmother, all are en-.
gagged in making some parts of fiddle.
A good instrument consists of sixty-twc
different pieces. The older men make
the finger board from ebony, and the
string holder OF the screws. The small
boys make themselves useful by look.
ing after the glue pot. A man with
strong, steady hands and a clear eye
puts the different pieces together, and
this is the most difficult task of all. The
women generally occupy themselves as
polishers, and the family that has a
daughter who is good polisher is con-
sidered fortunate. Even young man,
when he goes a-wooing, inquiries whether
the young girl is a good polisher; and ii
she is, it certainly will increase his af.
fection for her at least twofold. The
polishing takes a good deal of time, some
of the best violins being twenty and even
thirty times polished. Every family has
its peculiar style of polishing, and they
never vary from that. There is one that
makes nothing but deep wine color,
another a citron color, yet another an
orange color, and so on.-Letter in Bos-
ton Transcript.

was 1905. Of the mares 1,18S were
sent to Canada, some of these, however,
being really destined for the United
States; Se4 went to Belgium, 700 to Hol-
landS4S4 to France, Ais to the United

her mortal remains with the comforting
thought, "Well done. good and faithful

change which comes to all. Her declin-
ing years have been spent amongst her
relatives and loving hands smoothed her

peace and life everlasting.
The funeral services will be held at the
