The American Sandwich.

aThe great American sandwich is now
an established National institution" said
Frank P. Brodie at Hurst's Hotel. "Did
you ever think how the term originated2
A great many people suppose that the
popular comestible is in some way con-
nected with the Sandwich Islands. This
is a mistake, because the civilized world
had sandwiches long before it knew it
had any Sandwich Islands. Another
popular fallacy is that the sandwich was
invented by the English Earl of Sand
wich, from whom it took its name. The
fact is, the name of the man who foisted
the sandwich on the world is unknown.
1t was known, however, in the times of
the Roman Empire, and the soldiers of
Claudius Cesar included it in their ra-
tions. As an article of food the sand
wich dates from the time to which the
memory of man runneth not back. As
an instrument of torture and death it
made its advent with the first railroad
eating house. ."--St. Louis Star Sayings.

About Kid Gloves.

A town called Grenoble, France, is
the place where most kid gloves come
from; yet of the twenty thousand or
more tourists who pass though the capi-
tai of the Isere Department each year not
more than ten ever go out of their way
to learn something of this great national
industry.
For it is national, as France holds the
chief position in the world IN this line
of commerce, and wherever you go you
are sure to find that the best gloves are
of French manufacture. This success is
not due to question of taste only, but
to excellence of workmanship also.
There is nothing mechanical about
glove making; it is all hand labor; there
fore experienced and skillful operatives
are necessary to produce good merchan-
disc. But as Frenchmen do not like to
leave their homes, it is the Begians, the
Germans and the Italians who go abroad
and devote themselves to the production
of an inferior kind of goods for toilet
purposes in other countries.
At Grenoble alone /, 100000 dozen
pairs of gloves are manufactured an
nually. This represents value of
$1,000, 900 to 1920, 900, and this
gives employment to 5000 workpeople
of both sexes. There are 1000 men and
21,O0O women residing in a rayon of
thirty-eight miles around Grenoble who
live by this work. Glove making, then,
is interesting from a social point of view,
as it is one of the few callings open to
female labor in which they can earn re-
spectacle wages without abandoning hus-
bands, homes and little ones.
When l add that out of the $7,200,-
600 worth of gloves in that region at
least So, 600, 900 are distributed in wages
among an almost infinite number of fam
lilies, you can imagine the anxiety with
which recent parliamentary deliberations
over the proposition to franchise the raw
material were awaited by the population.
A tax on skins brought into France
would have meant ruin to many hard.

The proposition to have the old ship
President, which was captured from the
United States by the British IN the War
OF 1912, transferred to Chicago for the
Columbian Exhib ton, is very generally
approved by the officers of the navy so
far as its sentiment goes, but the idea is
hardly practical, suggests The Boston
Transcript. The old ship now lies III
the West India Dock near London, and,
although she makes an excellent ship for
the nominal headquarters of British navy
officers who are assigned to duty in Lon
don, and an excellent drill ship as we'll,
she is totally unable, because OF her ad-
vanced age, to cross the Atlantic.

1t was, think, two days after that a
letter lay beside me on Sisters desk. It
was from the house of Gushington, and
contained check for seventy-fve dol
lars, and note from the editor stating
that by mistake had gotten in pile of
rejected MSS, and been sent to her by
his assistant without his knowledge.
Would she kindly overlook this, and per-
nit his house the honor of printing her
work?
Then you should have seen her. She
was like glad June morning in her

When returned to the editors desk,
he read me over carefully. then he ex-
tracted quite long letter from a pigeon
hole, and had an idea it concerned N.Y.

init pleasant smile to play over his
features like fitting sunbeam as he an

A Famous Maine Mansion.

The old Pepperell mansion at Kittery
Point, Me-, built over 200 years ago,
has probably sheltered more famous peo-
pie than any other house on this side of
the Atlantic, with the exception of
Mount Vernon and Monticello. The
house was built by the first William
Pepperell, great merchant and ship
builder of his time, who accumulated
vast wealth by trade, and his mansion
reflected the extent of his means. Fac
ing the sea and surrounded by great
park where herds of deer disported, the
old mansion was delightful place of
residence. The famous Sir William
Pepperell, son of the builder, enlarged
and adorned the mansion at the time OF
his marriage, in 1874. This William
Pepperell, the only American baronet,
was remarkable man. He was the
richest man in the colonies, and had
at times as many as 200 vessels afoat.
He was successful General, and was
seen at Louisburg, and his political in.
fuence was very great. New York

The chief figures of the chief medical
officer of the Prefecture of Police show
that lunacy has increased in Paris.
France, in the last sixteen years some
thirty per cent. The incaease is due to
the prevalence OF two morbid types, gen
eral paralysis and alcoholic insanity.
Alcoholic insanity is twice as prevalent
now as it was fifteen years ago. Almost
third of the lunacy cases are due to this
disease, and the tendency of 1t is to be-
come more violent aud to show more
marked homicidal character. A dreadful
pecularity of it's that it descends to the
children of its victims. Tae extreme use
fulncss of many of the candidates for
the guillotine must have been observed
of late years, and the explanation is
probably to be found in alcoholic in
sanity.

A Curious Mutiny.

There are some curious points in the
case of the mutlneers on board the
French ship Aime, who were recently
tried at st. Pierre, Newfoundland. The
vessel started from Bordeaux but had
not proceeded very far upon its course
when the crew deposed the captain aud
put him in irons. The first mate took
command. His purpose was to reach
the Azores. But in few hours it be-
came apparent that he did not know
what he was about. Accordingly, the
crew sought their ex-captain next day,
lashed him to mast, and commanded
him to steer for the Azores. He refused
to do so unless he was released. The crew
set to work again on their own account
got more muddled than before, and
finally accepted his condition. Forth
with he put the ship about, and carried
them to st. Pierre, where they were
promptly seized, tried and condemned.
The extraordinary feature in all this is
the fact that the captain was the only
man on board having any knowledge of
navigation, and the question arises
whether this condition of affairs is COM
mon on French ships, or in the mercan-
tile marine of any other nation. In all
well found ships the first mate, at least,
is supposed to carry masters certif-

Duke. The eldest daughte. is the wife
of the Duke Of Fife, and it is reported
that the second daughter is to marry an
English nobleman. The British nation
has shown good deal of irritation at the
marriage of Queen Victoria's children to

brave old days when England was made,
Englishmen and Englishwomen were
good enough for royal blood to mate
with, aud the English people appear to
believe that the policy is a good one to-
day.

At last it has dawned upon the people of
Northwestern Ohio, announces the Pitts
burg Dispatch, that their supply of nat
ural gas is almost exhausted. So conf
dent have they been in its performance
that the nature of the discovery is almost
startling. To-day not more than one
tenth of the manufactures in Northwest
ern Ohio are supplied with natural gas.
AT the same time the supply for private
consumption has been SO decreased that
many family has tossed the gasburner
into the back yard and returned to hick-
ory and coal. Many others kept con-
slant supplies of coal on hand ready for
emergency at any time. Coal is also
burned with the gas when it is low bv a
majority of the consumers. Since gas
was first used for fuel here the pressure
has decreased over $50 pounds. The vol
ume, however, is sufficient for all the
drains upon it. The trouble is that the
pressure is too weak to force the gas to
the burners. 1t lies sluggish and DOR
mant in the mains, or in a state of inertia
in the rock and wells.
