A KISS in Time,

from Cn1caSQ in6ef-Ocoan.J
A story is going the rounds on the
South Side which makes a well-known
society young man and millionaire's
pretty daughter the principal characters
in a rather laughable comedy. T e
young man, who is noted for his hand
some bearing and winning voice, accom-
panied the young lady to her home on
Friday evening, and as all true lovers dc.
lovers tete- a-tete with his fair com
panion. The night was beautiful, no one
near to intrude, and above all he loved
Why shouldn't she kiss him? With
maidenly modesty she refused. He i'm
plored. She still withheld from him that
which would fill his cup with happiness.
The request was repeated several times,
and so engrossed did the young man be
come in wooing he failed to notice the
approach of the parental step. The old
gentleman, who has been there himself
and did not care to intrude upon the
happiness of the young couple, quietly
stepped behind a convenient .rosebush
and waited, thinking fhe young mar
would soon leave. In this he was mista

until the patience of the old gentleman
was exhausted. A VOICE the couple wei
knew aroused them from their happiness
by saying: "Alice, kiss the young idiot

The Names Of Months.

The names of our months embody an
immense quantity of heather mytholo-
gy and many bits of curious history
January was named from Janus, the god
of gates, doors and entrances, and so APP
propriately opened the:year: The Dutch
called January the frost month; the Sax
ons the wolf month, as, from the scarcity
OF food at that season, wolves became
very troublesome in England and on the
Continent. In the French Revolutionary
Calendar this month was called Nivose
the snow month. The name of the Sec
ond month came from the verb februo,
to purify, because in that month the an
nual Illustrations were performed. Among
the Dutch this was the vegetable month;
the French called it Pluviose, the rain
month. The third took it's name from
Mars, the god of war, but by the Saxons
was known as the Rough Month on ac-
count of the winds which then prevailed,
and the same popularity gave it among
the French the name of Ventose. April
was SO called from the Latin verb aperio,
to open, because in that month vegeta-
ton began to assume new life. The
Dutch. called it the Grass Month, and
the French, Germinal, the budding
month. May was SO called from Maia,
the Latin goddess of flowers. Among the
Dutch it was the Blossom. Month among
the French Floreal, the flower month;
the Saxons gave it the odd name of
Trimilchi, three milkings, from the fact
that they began to milk their cows three
times day. June was from Juno, and
among the Romans was the most auspi-
cious month for engagements and we'd
dings. The Dutch called it the Summer
Month, the Saxons the Dry Month and
the French Prairial, the meadow month.
July is called after Julius Caesar; among
the Dutch it was the Hay Month; among
the French Messidor, the harvest month
August was named after Augustus, the
successor of Julius Caesar. The Dutch
called it the Harvest Month"; the Saxons,
the Weed Month, and the French, Their
midor, the Heat Month. The names Sep
TENDER, October, November and Decem
Der, illustrate the tenacity with which
name will cling, after its significance has
departed The year. originally began
with March, and September was the
seventh month, October the eighth, No
vember the ninth and December the
last, the year having but ten months
September is now the ninth month, but
the name seventh still clings to it,
though entirely Inappropriate. The
Dutch call September the Autumn
Month, the Saxons termed it the Barley
Month, and the French, Fructidor, the
Fruit Month. October was termed by
the French, Vendemiaire, the Vintage
Month. November, the ninth month,
was by the Dutch called the Slaughter
Month, by the Saxons, the Wind Month,
and by the French, Brumaire, the Fog
Month, and December was with the
Dutch the Winter Month, with the Sax.
ons, the Midwinter Month, and with the
French, Frimaire, the Month of Hoar

Snothered Piety.

Drainage, in New York Otserver.)
Much of the piety of our churches is
being smothered under the fashions.
Some of our Christian gentlemen have
boots so tight they can hardly walk in
paths of righteousness, and they feel in
church more like swearing than pray
ing, because their corns hurt; and our
Christian women shut out the sun of
righteousness by twenty dollar parasols,
lace trimmed, silk-lined, silver mounted.
Do not put SO much dry goods on your
back that you cannot climb into glory.
You cannot sail into the harbor OF
heaven with such a rigging as that.
They would level their guns at you as
being blockade runner.

Corn in Europe.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

rIOlu Gue Cu1CdSO U0I-OCedIl.
According to the latest computation
Europe will need $4,000, 900 bushels of
wheat and 1856 100000 bushels of rye, or
their equivalents. The United States,
Canada, and India could manage to
spare enough wheat to fill the bill very
nearly, but the rye is not to be had, no
matter what price the people are able to
pay for it. The aggregate European de-
| felt of breadstuffs, after allowing for
the surplus of this and other countries,
is nearly 10000, 900, and the question is
| what shall take the place of this deficit?
| To a large extent the people must
scrimp and use local substitutes, but the
most rigid economy of all available food
would still leave an immense vacuum.
The only practicable relief is American
corn. Our corn crop is sufficient to fur
nish all Europe with bread enough and
to spare. The great difficulty is that
those people are unaccustomed to the
use of meal as breadstuff. To their
thinking it is only fit for provender.
Portugal raises good deal of corn, and
the importation into Europe from the
| United States is large, but it is classed
with hay rather than flour. 1t will be
remembered that it is only a few years
since oats came to have any standing in
this country as an article of table use.
The Americans no more thought of oats
fit to eat than cut straw or grass seed.
The Scotch use of it was regarded as an
indiosyncrasy But now it is one of the
staples of the breakfast table, and if
necessary could be used as the mainstay
for that meal.
1t is not the poor, but everybody, and
more especially the rich, who take kind
ly to oatmeal mush for breakfast. 1t is
all very simple, the grinding and the
cooking. With corn meal the grinding
is still more simple and the cooking
equally so. Corn meal, in the same
form as oatmeal is served, would make
a wholesome breakfast. Many a New
| England farmer of an earlier day had
nothing for his dinner even but "pud-
ding and milk the latter skinned at
that, and his work was exceptionally
hard. But there is "a more excellent
Woy w ooC eliO IH0diS, anu, III IdCG, S6v>
eral ways. In the earlier days the South
West, and East each had it's own way of
using corn meal as breadstuff.
Just n wv Uncle Jerry Risk has an
agent in Europe trying to introduce the
Yankee custom OF mixing rye flour and
corn meal and making bread of the com
pound. The old New England custom
was to use just rye enough to make the
bread adhere, and smooth off the roueh
edges of the meal. The plan the Secre-
tary of Agriculture is favoring is to mix
the two in about equal parts, and that
probably is the best way to start the
thing but, as matter of fact, small.
er proportion of rye would produce ouita
as good results But, however that ma
be, the great point to be gained is to se-
cure for American corn recognition in
Europe as breadstuff. That done. AL
else will follow. To accomplish tina,
would be almost as great a blessing to
Western farmers as to open Europe to
the American hog, and perhaps even
greater.

rights. 1t is a matter of congratulation
among men of generous feeling that the
range OF employments open to woman
Is widening every year Yet when she
figures as a railroad engineer, or steam
boat pilot, we find it hard to imagine
any combination of circumstances that
could have forced her into such posi-
ton. She might fill it without becom-
ing unsexed,-for it is only her deport-
ment, never her occupation, that can
unsex her,-but in spite of the march of
progress, woman still has a Sphere"

There are many interesting facts to be
CLEANED from the old books in relation
to tea trade. There is no doubt, for ex-
ample, that China was far more liberal
in her commercial policy when ruled by
her own people than she was after the
Manchu conquest in A. D. 1641. Before
that time are many illusions to trades
and merchants from various countries
and to the expectation of goods of all
sorts. find reference to bronze works
and porcelains from Japan, weapons and
| pottery from Corea, cloths and other wo
ven tissues from Indo-C Chinese territories
and ivory and tortoise she'll from Ceylon
and Arabia. The transactions were upon
a large scale and required quite Navy
of junks and cargo boats. In several in.
stances are references which can only be
explained by the theory that the mercan
tile classes of the East had established
some system of marine insurance,
After the Manohu conquest there is a
very great change. Foreign trade seems
to drop out of existence as it were and
foreign traders lose all status. This con
dition of affairs continues for nearly two
centuries. In reading between the lines
OF the tea trade the most striking fact il
the profound change wrought in Chinese
life by the influence of Europe and es
pecially the European steamer in the
present century. 1t is peaceable revo

the great cities were in the interior o
