TAKING TO AMERICAN SLANG.

Partisan Newspapers and People Rapidly
Absorbing CIsatlantic Expressions.
The use of French words and phrases
by English writers is rapidly going out
of fashion. 1t is now considered in bad
taste to employ French for anything
which can be equally well expressed in
our own language. Fashion has turned
the tables. We discard French. The
Parisians adopt English. One can hard
ly pick up French novel or newspaper,
says the Argonaut, which is not plenti-
fully sprinl1led with English-some-
times pure English, sometimes inten-
tentionally modified English, some
times English curiously transformed
through ignorance 'Le Sport" is the
regular heading to the sporting column
of famous French daily in which may
be found statements about Jockeys"
'trotters, yachts" and even OCCASION
al mention of those forms of amusement
known as lie cricket and ''basebal"
Upon the same page a reporter sent to
interviewer" distinguished foreigner
declares him to be sun parfait gentle
man." and goes on to describe his per-
sonal appearance and dress, including
such garments as an ulster"
Derby" and "Gladstone-collar'
The political news includes mention
of ''le grand boss,' dark horse" and
a ring" although these phrases are
used only in speaking of American
politics Among the sensational items
near by is one describing the doings of
sic Judge Lynch en- Texas" and ex-
pressing horror at the escape of ''les
lyncheurs' after hanging 'le lynche''
to the bough of tree and piercing him
with bullets. We turn from this record
of barbarism to the society column
and discover that our French friends
are not ashamed to import from Amer
lea new forms of entertainment. At
soiree of Marquise dc X we are
informed that game long popular in
the best society in the United States
was introduced with great success-the
game of ''pokere." We learn also that
an unusually large number of five
o'clocl1ards" young men fond of after
noon teal were present at the five
o'clock tea of Nine. de Z" Looking
a little further, we find that ''dudes''
and ''mashers' unfortunately exist in
Paris, and that young women who
''flirte" are not unknown, although
they are warned in a serious para
graph, evidently without the least in
tention to employ slang, that the
is not a safe one and they
are likely to ''get left Indeed, of all
the phrases which the French now Dor
row, American slang seems to be the
most popular.

THE LARGEST SHIP AFLoAT.
A Five-Masted Bark Now Trading BE

A Five-Masted Bark Now Trading BE
tween Burmah and Bremen.
The sailing ship Maria Rickmers, re
Gently launched at the Russell yards, al
Port Glasgow, Scotland, is claimed to
be the largest sailing ship in the world.
She is 375 feet long with breadth of
beam of As feet, draws 25 feet of water
and has over 80 feet of hold. Her net
tonnage is 1892, and over double that
of carrying capacity. She is built of steel,
with double bottom all fore and aft,
with deep midship tank for carrying
ballast. She is rugged as a five-masted
bark, carrying double top-gallant sails
and single royals on four of her masts
and slzysails on three, and carrying al
together about 81 900 square feet of can
vas. An unusual feature in her con-
struction is that she is fitted with aux
iliary triple expansion engines, and ma
chinery of sufficient power to give her
q speed of about seven knots during
calns and very light winds. She is
provided with double-bladed feather
ing propeller wheel, which does not in
terfere with her steering qualities when
moving under sail alone. The Maria
Rickmers was built for the firm of
RicBmers e. Co., rice millers of Bremen,
Germany, and will be used in the rice
carrying trade between Burmah and
Bremen. She is now at sea on her
maiden voyage from Glasgow to Singa-
pore.
AS compared with the big American
ship Shenandoah, the Maria Rickmers
is so feet longer, one foot less beam,
andoah. At the same time she carries
nearly 1000 more yards of canvas and
has much larger tonnage. The Shen-
andoah is now the largest sailing vessel
in the world, although undoubtedly the
largest wooden vessel ahoat. The
competitor to the Maria Rick
mers is the huge fve-masted sailing ship
La France, which is the same length,
375 feet, is one foot wider, but has less
draught, and is in net tonnage 222 tons
less. 1t is claimed for the Maria Rick
mers that she can make from fourteen
to fifteen knots an hour, with sail power
alone. Her steam power is purely auXil-
larry and is only to be used in case of
Gains. Her speed yet remains to be de-
termined, however, and her ability to
make what she claims is doubted by
sailors on this side of the globe. Amer
lean shipmasters say she lacks that |
grace of line and ease of movement for |
which American ships are noted, and
that she is too clumsy to develop any
great degree of speed.

THROUGH A FUNNEL.
A Mans Queer Method of Taking Re-

Mans Queer Method of Taking Re-
freshment
The other day young man sauntered
into saloon, says the Savannah (Ga.)
News, and asked for a glass of beer.
The barleeper, German, recognizing
in the stranger a fellow-countryman
set out glass of the required beverage
for his rejection. Taking the glass in
his hand, the stranger walked to the
end of the bar, opened his coat and pro-
ceeded to pour the beer into funnel
''Phat you do with dot beer?" shouted
the astonished bartender. 81 am drink
ing it." replied the stranger, calmly
emptying the last drop into the funnel
and placing the glass on the counter.
The barkeeper was paralyzed, and moth
ing short of a full explanation fully re-
assured him. 1t developed that the
stranger had some time ago swallowed
some carbolic acid by mistake, which
had caused structure of the throat. He
is unable to swallow even liquids, and
his only means of taking food or drink
is through tube which runs into his
Through this he drinks and
eats, first chewing his food and then
passing it through the tube into his
stomach. His case was such a rare one
that the barlzeeper took him to see
some of the doctors of the city. He is
in good health, and does not seem to
suffer much from his strange affection,
conversing readily, though unable to
swallow anything at all. The tube
through which he takes his food is re-
moved when not in use, and when he is
hungry he places it in position, and
through it eats whatever he wants.

A GlthM SOME ART.
The Strange Revelation Made by
a Floating Corpse.
Tattooed Human Skin in Great Demand
Curio-Good Prices Paid for
1t by Merchants In
the Orient.

The finding of an unknown man float
ing in the Delaware river at Philadel-
| phia finally led to the discovery of a
most grewsome trade practiced by one
of the discoveries of the body The
dead man, says an exchange of that
city, bore upon his arm some perfect
specimens of the tattooer's art, and
Jacob Zizrachi, Syrian, who assisted
in the recovery of the body applied for
that portion of the cuticle of the left
arm which bore an admirable repre-
sentation of the crucihxion. In the
representation of this piece of work the
artist showed master hand. Every
detail was perfect
This was what most attracted the
attention of Zizrachi, andlhe begged
morgue to give him the strip of
cuticle covered by the picture. He even
offered ten dollars for it, and when told
that he could not have it without an
order from the coroner he stormed and
raved, declaring it to be rightfully his,
anyway, because he had assisted in the
recovery of the body. The keeper
finally told him to call at the morgue
again, and that he would in the mean
time speak to the coroner in regard to
the matter.
He being piled with questions as to
what he intended to do with the strip
of tattooed cuticle after he got it,
Zizrachi said that in Morocco, where he
had passed the greater part of his life,
there were many dealers in curios who
would give him from ten to one hun
bred dollars for such things, according
to the artistic finish of the picture, He
had made hundreds of dollars by trad
ing with these merchants, and had
learned the secret of properly prepar-
ing the skin for framing.
The cuticle is first carefully dried and
tanned and is then treated with pc
culiar solution of poisonous drugs,
which has the effect of bringing into
bold relief the pigment used in the
tattooing. 1t is afterward pressed be-
tween two plates of glass and is al
lowed to stand for month or SO, after
which it is framed and placed on sale
Many prominent citizens of the larger
cities of the orient, the Syrian stated,
had the walls of their houses decorated
with these objects.
In some parts of Arabia, according to
his statement, the sheilss of certain
tribes always had their own portraits
tattooed upon their backs. After the
death of one them the cuticle bearing
the portrait was carefully cut away
and prepared according to the usual
process and reverently carried from
place to place by the bereaved tribe.
Zizrachi said that the picture on the
arm of the drowned man at tia morgue
would be worth fifty to sixty dollars to
him

COLORADO HOLIDAYS.
Her Watermelon, Peach, Potato and
Grape and Cherry Days.


Her Watermelon, Peach, Potato and
Grape and Cherry Days.
Colorado has some holidays that other
states have not thought of, according
to an informant of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Among these are water
melon day, peach day, potato day and
grape and cherry day. Watermelon
day occurs September 1 each year, and
is celebrated at Rockyford. On that
memorable occasion thousands of ex-
cursionists from all parts of the state
flock to Roclzyford and revel in water
melons. Car loads of melons are shipped
in from the district, and they are as
free to all as water and air. The trains
carry back hundreds of very sick pas
sengers at night. Peach day is cele-
brated at Grand Junction with great
eclat. 1t falls September II, and all
the survivors of the Rockyford water
melon debauch 60 there to again gorge
themselves. Bands of music and mill
tary companies parade the streets of
the town in the morning to hold the
hungry crowd in check while the local
committees are arranging the peaches
u
the same moment, and in the afternoon
everybody falls to, and at night the
mountains of peach pits tell the tale of
the days orgies. Then along in October
comes potato day at Monument.
Pretty much the same people are to
be seen there as at ROCKFORD and Grand
Junction, and they consume enough
Irish potatoes in one day to check the
worst famine Ireland has ever known.
The potatoes are cooked in every mag
Unable way-baked, boiled, roasted and
mashed. They are served in great tin
troughs that line the streets, and that
remain stationary all the year. Two or
three monster fat steers lie suffering
upon spits in convenient proximity to
the potato troughs, and the glutton can
kill himself eating barbecued beef and
potatoes if he wants to. No one will
try to check him if his appetite runs
riot. Grape and Cherry day is now a
new institution lately established at
Canyon City, the center of the biggest
fruit region in the eastern part Of the
state, but the date is not yet mentioned.
That it will attract thousands is attest
ed by the brilliant success of the other
three feast days have mentioned. The
governor attends each of these celebra-
tons with his entire staff, and he would
damn himself politically in Colorado if
he should decline to go and eat himself
sick.

ANCIENT FISHES.
A Curious Collection Prepared for
the National Museum.
vertebrates from the sedimentary Depos-
Its of the Lower Silurian Epoch
Rare Geological Discoveries
in America.

a collection of the oldest fishes of the
world is being prepared for exhibition
at the National museum, Washington,
says the Star. They were dug out of
the rocks recently at Canyon City, Col.
Great scientific interest has been
aroused by the discovery, because they
are thousands of years more ancient
than any creatures with backbones ever
found before. They come from the
sedimentary deposits laid down by
water in the distant epoch called the
silurian. These are from the lower
silurian, and some notion of the differ
cnce of time may be got from the fact
that the two horizons" are separated
in the Appalachian region by twenty
thousand feet of sediment.
Where these fishes were found was
once sand beach on the western shore
of vast interior sea, which extended
eastwards from the Rocky mountains,
and covered large part of the CONT
nent. Biologists, wandering through
that region so prolific of treasures in
the shape OF fossils, came upon the de-
posits accidentally. The line of the
ancient beach is still visible, although
it is overlaid by sedimentary rocks of
subsequent formation. They made ex-
cavations with pickax and blast, get
ting out a great quantity of material,
which was brought to Washington.
Thirty millions of years have perhaps
elapsed since the creatures thus dug
out were living. 1t must have been
strange world in which they had their
being so far back in the night of time.
Even the reptiles which fiourished and
attained such gigantic dimensions at
later period did not yet exist. The only
vertebrates were fishes.
These fishes of the lower silurian
were all sm.ll-the diminutive types of
the great fishes which swarmed in the
waters during a later period, which has
been called the age of fishes. They
were clad in armor, being covered with
plates of bone instead of scales. Their
skeletons were composed wholly of
cartilage, like those of the sharks of to-
day, which themselves represent an
enormously ancient fnny pattern.
Under the microscope it is possible to
see the structure of the bone which
composed the plates. In similar arrnor
was the huge and ferocious dinichthys,
rs well as other marine monsters of
subsequent epoch, dressed.
