must confess That | have always
blindly supposed (when | thought of it
at all that the currant Of the plum pud-
ding was the same fruit as the currant
of our gardens--that slightly acrid red
berry which grows on bushes that follow
the lines Of back fences-bushes that
have patches of weedy ground under
them where hens congregate. fancied
that by some process unknown to me, at
the hands Of persons equally unknown
perhaps those who bring Aattened raisins
from grapes), these berries were dried,
and that they then became the well
known ornament of the Christmas cake.
1t was at Zante that my shameful ig-
norance was made clear to me. Here /
learned that the dried fruit of commerce
is a dwarf grape, which has nothing in
common with currant jelly. Its English
name, currant, is taken from the French
"raisin de Corinthe, or Corinth grape,
title bestowed because the fruit was
first brought into notice at Corinth. We
have stolen this name in the most IN
reasonable way for our red berry. Then,
TO make the confusion worse, as soon as
we have put the genuine currants into
orr buildings and cakes we turn around
and call them 'plums!'
The real currant, the dwarf grape of
Corinth, is about as large as gooseberry
when ripe, and its color is a deep violet
black; the vintage takes place in August.
1t is not hardy vine. 1t attains lux
uriance, 1 was told, only in Greece; and
even there it is restricted to the northern
Peloponnesus, the shores of the Gulf of
Corinth, and the lonian islands.-Con-
stance Fenimore Woolson in Harper's.

Strange Applications.

The Salvation Army has in London q
bureau of information, where ladies
may obtain servants and those in need
of employment find work. It has been
extraordinarily successful. During the
first year 1900 employers found serv-
ants, and thousand girls applied for
work.
Strange applications come to the Office.
One lady recommended her departing
servant as clean, tidy, honest. sober,
truthful and a good worker" Wonder
ing why maid and mistress should part
under these conditions, the bureau found
that a terribly bad temper was the cause
of separation.
"But, strangely enough" said the
chief, lit happened that lady had just
applied TO us for servant with a bad
temper, believing that such girls make
the clesnest landmarks. SO that we are
able to meet every requirement.

They Cured Him.

Mail carriers are sometimes prone to
make mistakes, just as other people are.
Not only in their business, for that oc-
ours often with the most careful, but
sometimes socially.
1t was only few evenings ago that
one of the East End mail boys made
such mistake socially as to place him
in a ridiculous manner before the few
friends who have learned of this mis-
take.
For some time past Uncle Sans agent
has been paying noticeable attention to
one Of East Ends fair bellies, that is, in
an indirect and seemingly unconcerned
manner. In fact, the young lady did not
know of the intended attention until he
asked permission one day to call upon her
that evening. When he would go to the
house to deliver any letters TO the young
lady he would always ask if Miss -
was in, always using her Christian name,
aud in this way he became, as he thought,
pretty well acquainted with the object
of his affections.
The young lady was not reciprocal in
her feelings, and when she was asked to
allow him 10 call she hesitated some
what, but finally said yes.
The young man was not acquainted
with the fact that this certain young
lady had sister almost the exact image
of herself, but she knew it and was de-
termined that the sister should help her
in her cleverly laid scheme-the sister
should entertain the letter carrier"
All arrangements were made for the
evening, and when the doorbell sounded
the sister answered and the young man
was ushered into the room. He did not
detect any difference in the sister and
was not aware that he was talking with
any other girl than the one he had asked
to call upon.
The evening hours few quickly and
he was about to depart, when he began
pouring forth some endearing terms to
the young lady, who listened attentively
until he had finished, when, with a
smothered laugh on her face, she asked,
"It's my sister you wish to see, is it notF'
The letter carrier was dumfounded.
He had committed himself, and to one
wholly uninterested in the affair. He
reached for his hat and with one bound
reached the door and was soon wander
ing down the avenue beneath the electric
light. He was surely a wiser if not
happier man. The letters are still de-
livered to the house. but the letter man
is scarcely ever seen. and he never asks
for Miss -. -Pittsburg Press.

1t was Mr.. Emerson who said "the

wiser than a modern philosopher who
said that "the blood is the lffe.n The

poor and scores of diseases result. 1t

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

Thomas Wynn, Jr., of Ferndale, was
among the visitors at the court house
yesterday.
The force in the county surveyors
Office is hard at work in drawing plats
and getting ready to make a location
for the Whatcom-Lynden motor line.
"A preliminary survey has already been
made.
School district No. u, at Delta, held
its election on Monday, the 5th, in
stead of on Saturday, as ordered by the
state law. The election has been de-
clared illegal, but the county superin-
tendent will appoint the board and
clerk receiving the highest votes.
Speaking of the schools generally
throughout the county, Professor Hit
reports flattering attendance and a
very favorable Inauguration of the
term in the various districts. He has
received word as to the election of Geo.
7. Steadman, of Fairhaven, as teacher
of the Mountain View school, which is
one of the most flourlshing in the
county.
County Treasurer Rogers reports the
receipt of letters by every mail from
properly owners residing outside the
county with funds for the payment of
taxes. Some difficulty exists in collect
ing taxes from the fact that in few
cases parties are assessed who have dis.
posed of their land, as well as the pres
ent owner, thus making a double as
sessment against one parcel ofland.
Superintendent Hit is making ar.
rangements to celebrate Columbus Day,
October q, throughout the entire
county. He is preparing a program
| for the various schools of the county
and will have a flag raised over each
school building. Appropriate exer.
cises will be conducted by the children
in the morning, followed in the after
noon by addresses on the part of invited
sneakers.

Mixed Metaphors

In his recent address at Lynden, Mr..
Fairchild is reported as having become
somewhat confused in his metaphors.
In making a contrast between the con.
dition Of the workingmen in the Uni
ted States and in other countries he
reached the apex of his peroration in
the following sentence: "This is the
most glorious country under Gods
green heavens"

One instance in which a lady has
Hanged her name three times in one

The same day the old baronet died sud-
denly and his son succeeded him. Thus
