Many Cooks.

A proud Welsh boy at school, hearing
that an English duke employed six
men cooks during the period that he
kept open house, or rather open castle,
in the north, sneered at the alleged
magnificence. "My father does better
than that" said the youth. AT our
very last party before left home we
had twenty-four men cooks, all en-
ployed in dressing the supper" The
true state of the ease was revealed
later, when companion announced to
his school fellows that although the
Welshmau Aad spoken tfI!g, she com.
pany at tte supper to which he had al
luded consisted of twenty-four of his
near relatives, and every man toasted
his own cheese. Companion.

ting your offer of marriage rejected by
your best girl has an origin in the
customs of the earlier days. One hun
dred years ago gloves were unknown
in the country towns. Mittens were
knitted and worn in all families. If a
young man, going home from singing
school with the girl of his choice, was
holding her mittened hand to keep it
from getting cold and took that oppor-
tunity to urge his suit, II the offer
proved acceptable the hand would re-
main. If taken by surprise, an effort
to withdraw the hand would leave the
mitten. So the suitor would get the
mitten' but would not get the hand. "
The use of the word ''muff," meaning
a foolish, laundering person, also has
an easy explanation; stupid youth was
said to be ''mutf'' because, like the
article of feminine wear called by that
name. he held woman's hand with
out squeezing It'll The sedate old times

A Dangerous Calling.

"Mud miners" is the term used to de-
scribe class of worlsmen employed to
labor in tunnel which is being built
as a conduit for gas under the East
river from New York to Brooklyn. The
pressure of condensed air is so great in
the tunnel that even strong men labor
only two hours and are then taken to
the surface TO recuperate. Recently
there have been several deaths in the
tunnel So frequently have ambu'
lances been summoned to the entrance
that the police authorities are making
an investigation with a view TO lessen
ing the danger TO the workmen, who
are in future to be examined by ply.

Curious Museum of Newspapers.

One of the most curious museums in
the world is that containing hundreds
Of thousands of newspapers at Aix-la-
Chapelle. This quaint museum-library
was founded seven or eight years ago
by Oscar Forkenbeck, who collected
newspapers as other people collect
stamps or autographs The whole of
his income for something like forty
years was distributed over newspaper
offices of the civilized and uncivilized
world, and he received every morning
iailies published in thirty languages.
By the year 1885 he found himself the
happy owner of 10000 files He thon
hit on the excellent idea of founding n
newspaper museum, aud with this OBJ
ject in view sent circular around ask

dental press seem to have responded

TREATY-SMASHING.

One of the most absurd arguments against
the Reciprocity policy is advanced by "The
New Orleans Picayune." 1t admits that there
has been an increase of 20 per cent in Ameri-
can exports TO Brazil from 1890 70 1892 and
gain OF nearly 40 per cent in the export trade
with Cuba during the same period hut it CON
tends that these advantages amount to nothing
because the imports from both countries have
expanded in much larger proportions. "The
country certainly cannot afford" it remarks,
"to continue in force treaties which have failed
to furnish our citizens returns proportionatcly
as great as those conferred upon the countries
with which the Reciprocity treaties have been
arranged" Hence il calls upon the President
TO terminate the treaties and to leave Congress
free Ito pass a tariff bill untrammclled by
foreign obligations"
The United States draws IS per cent of its
imported sugar supply from the Spanish West
Indies and even larger proportion of its coffee
from Brazil. The imports from both countries
