Some Queer Derivations Of Words.

The game cricket is not the chirping
chatterer that makes music for the family
fireside, but takes its name from the
Anglo-SaXon crice, staff icrutch), which
we call bat. The catamaran is not an
animal, but a boat made of two hulls fast
ened together. This word is Hindostanee,
and means floating trees. The word haber-
dasher has rushing, roaring sound, like
that of angry waves breaking upon Deb-
bly, shore, but ii bears no rough meaning.
The haberdasner OF today sells what we
call goods for gentlemen's wear
In the lcelandic, hapurtask is things of
trifiing value, and hapeask is haversack
TO carry oats or provisions. Taska is a
chest or pouch; bafe, oats. In German
bafersack is an oat bag. So the habertiash-
er was originally one who carried oats in a
bag. But the German babe is go s, and
tauchen is TO exchange; berdash is neck
tie, and berdasher necktie maker. So
we can take our choice between the oat
bag man and the maker of neckwear
The expression is borrowed from the
Italian, but spoiled in the transfer, Sleeps
like top" A top does not sleep, but the
dormouse does, and he sleeps as though he
meant it. Egl dorme come IN topo in
Italian is in English HE sleeps like dor
mousse" but because topo is like our top.
and because when top is spinning at it's
best it does not wobble, but maintains the
perpendicular and makes no noise, the
Italian phrase was taken by certain wise
acres to have reference to a top.-Harper's

THE CHICAGO AND ALTON.
1t Has Not Appealed Its Case, Neither
Does 1t Propose to Pay Fine.


CHICAGO, Ill, June 5.-The Chicago and
Alton has not appealed from the decision of
Chairman Finley of the Western paSsen-
ger association, by which it was ordered to
pay a penalty for violation of the agree
ment. Under the rules it was allowed five
days III which to take an appeal after the
decision was rendered, and the stipulated
time has been permitted TO expire without
action on the part of the Alton manage
ment. Chairman Finley has just addressed
formal letter to the general manager re-
mlndlng him that the time for appeals
TO be made has passed, and again request
ing MIN to make Il report of all tickets sold
by his company at less than tariff rates
from Kansas City to st. Louis, and st.
Louis to Chicago, between May II and
June 3. This information is decided on in
order that the chairman may within ten
days make sight draft on the company
for the full amount of the fine imposed,
which includes the value of all the tickets
at full tariff in addition to the sum of $500
that was fixed by the decision. This letter
will no doubt be ignored, as the decision it
self was
The Alton people have not changed
their position. President Blackstone
and General Manager Chappell re-
turned to-day from a trip of inspection
over the road, and they reiterate the state
ment that the fine will not be paid They
also state that the Alton has no intention
of withdrawing from the Western paSsen-
ger association, and that if the association
is dissolved it viii be by the withdrawal of
other companies.
Chairman Finley will have done his
whole duty according to the terms of the
agreement when he has notified all lines in
the interest OF the Atoms refusal to pay
the fines imposed upon it. His RESPONSE
bility will end there. and it will then de
vOlve upon the association to deal with the
matter as il sees tit.

Why Fish Fatten Easier Than Reef

One principle at the bottom Of the fact
that water farming makes bigger gains
than land farming Is that whereas a pound
OF beef must carry its own weight. as it
were, the animal wasting most OF what it
eats III the muscular effort of walking
about, the fish is suspended without effort
in his native element, having merely to
waggle its fms occasionally in order to
achieve what locomotion is necessary, SO
that nearly all of its food goes to support
