appearance In English. Brogue literally
means stout, coarse shoe. but has acquired
the meaning OF dalectic pronunciation. Milton
uses clan and Goldsmith fun Plaid is in
Johnsons dictionary: 1t is undoubted-
ly Gaelic. and Is cognate with the
Latin pelis and the English fell. both
OF which mean skin. Sponsor uses the word
shamrock. but introduces II as an Irish word.
Sir Walter Scott Is responsible for the intro
duction OF u number OF Scotch words into our
vocabulary. 1t should further be noticed as OF
historical significance that the names of many
OF the simplest kitchen utensils and materials
are OF Celtic origin. to wit. spider. bung,
crockary. griddle. skillet. pan. mop, ket-
tie. mug. noggin. kals. cruel. pie. posset, pud.
ding. and slab In the sense Of viscous-" make
the cruel thick and slab" The presence Of
pronounced Celtic in kitchen nomenclature
obviously suggests that Celtic csptives were
held as household slaves BY the Saxon con.
auerors. The inference 10 strenthened by the
fuct that the name which the saxons gave the
Britons-welsh. or strsnssr-was the same
word they used for slave. II 10 also perhaps
more thnn . coincidence that tho slang OF the
lowest class In London contains q number OF
peculiar expressions. come OF which arc no

such derivatives in low London slang seems to
afford presumption that when the saxons
took possession Of Londiniun. lrst Roman
colony and aiterward an important Celtic city.

origin are babe. bad. ball. bludgeon. boast,
clock. coax. cob. crag. crease, drudge. frenzy

noise-a tonnis racquet Is Arabic. On the

timstically allotted to it; but in the
meantime the irritation of the nuisance
demands some speedy and drastic rene
dy. 1t is the opinion of the editor, reached
after careful study of the situation,
and temperate and dispassionate re-
view thereof, that for an amateur to be
found going about with an ordinary
camera should be made a misdemeanor
punishable by confscation of the instru-
ment and fine to be regulated accord
ing to circumstances. To be found with
detective camera should in an amateur
be punished by imprisonment for life;
in the professional by instant death.
Could these precise but mild laws be
passed and rigidly enforced, there
would be very notable change in the
comfort and in the moral tone Of the
community. 1t is impossible that there
should be any high average OF ethical
feeling in the land as long as the camera
fend is daily and hourly allowed to
trample upon every feeling of individual
liberty and freedom; and unless some
thing is done to check this rapidly grow
ing evil, who knows whether civiliza-
tion will be able even to last out the
century.

ENGRAVING WITH DYNAMITE.
Fig ures and Veins of Leaves Reproduced
on Iron by Firing the Explosive.

Among the many new uses to which
gunpowder and other high explosives
have been applied recently is that of
engraving. BY means of the force gen.
Grated by the detonation of these arti-
Giles the lines of delicate leaves, grass
and insects have been impressed on the
surface of the hardest iron procurabe
in the space of half second. BY old
processes hours were consumed where
machinery was used and any attempt
was made to secure artistic results, and
days where manufacturers resorted to
hand work.
Many recent experiments have been
made, mostly by officers of the army
and navy, which have demonstrated the
efficiency of the methods.
At Newport few weeks ago heavy
charge of dynamite was exploded by
several officers who were delegated by
the government to test new method
of electricity in fuses.
Somehow small dried leaf without
the knowledge of the officers had slip
ped between the dynamite cartridge
and the iron block from which the
charge had been fired.
When the experiment hal been com
pleted the officers were surprised to
find the perfect imprint of leaf in the
iron. The most delicate lines were re-
produced with startling distinctnesS.
A series OF experiments, which were
attended with remarkable success, fol-
lowed.
One of the officers who made the first
experiments is now in the city, and he
gave me an account of his discoveries
when | saw him at an uptown hotel the
other night.
Il was rather surprised to find that
it was possible to reproduce the out
lines of periShatle articles upon the
surface of iron by means of explosives, 8"
said he, land was at first Sceptical. al
though l had often heard that caudle
could be fired through an oak plank.
when we found the imprint of the
leaf we make several similar tests.
They took place at the torpedo
station in Newport. We placed several
leaves and flowers between two plates
of boiler iron and then fired modera te
charge of dynamite on the upper plate
The exact outlines with even the
veins in the petals of the flowers were
reproduced in the hard metal.
"0ther and more extended expert
mentS were attended with similar re-
suits.
Another singular fact is that when
exploded under water the imprintS are
much finer than those produced in the
open air. Frequently when a wad of
gun cotton is exploded beneath the sur
face of the water the explosive will
sink into the iron foundation so deep

ANIMALS IN WATER.
Where the Millions of Creatures In Drink
ing Water Come From and How They
Should he DispOsed OF.


Should be Disposed of.
al cannot understand the carelessness OF peo-
pie" This remark was made by a leading New
York chemist who was just making an analysis
for the Board Of Health.
"Take the subject of drinking water Tor In
stance. What sensible man or woman who ever
held glass Of water up to the light felt that IL
was pure? Even q near sighted person can see
that it is full Of vegetable and animal matter.
In the city where water is allowed to accumu-
late in tanks on the top OF the roofs, naturally
the bottom Of the tank becomes covered with
black mud. In the country, wells are simply
DRAWINGS from the surface water outhouses,
often from barns and stables. Is 1t any wonder
it is impure: Is it any wonder people get sick
from drinking it: Some people boil the water
and while this may kill the live germs, 1t does
not remove them nor remove the vegetable mat
ter which may be in the water and which is Of
ten poisonous The safest way for any one to
do is to mix little pure whiskey with the
water and thus wholly counteract ali evil effects
which NAV be in any water, however impure.
Doctors advise this and science confirms 1t.
Rut. only the purest whiskey should be used
and DufTv's Pure Malt is admitted both by doc
tors and scientists to be the purest OF all mod

against disease il also tones up, makes the

The Terrible Camera.
Boston Courier.

The day cannot be far distant when
it will become necessary for the law
makers Of the land to legislate against
the camera upon the same lines and up
on the same principle that it has already
been found necessary to legislate against
the carrying of concealed weapons.
There is always theory that the general
good sense Of the community will regu-
late these things. and very likely in the
long run the good sense Of the commun-
ity-or the indifference OF the commun-
ity, which comes to the same thing, by
allowing thing to slip out OF sight al

A Ripe Old Age.

J. II. Holcomb and wife, OF Belcher-
vile, Texas, have celebrated their fifty
fifth wedding anniversary, and are still
hale and hearty. The secret Of their
long life and good health is that they
correct any slight aiIment promptly,
and in that way avoid serious sickness.
Like most every one else, they are more
frequently troubled with constipation
than any other physical disorder. To
correct this they take st. Patrick's Pills
in preference to any other, because, as
Mr.. Holcomb says, They are mild
pill and, besides, keep the whole system
in good order. We prize them very
highly" For sale by {. r. Goethe, w.
