why "Tumblers" Are So Called.

Has the origin of the word ''tum.
bier" as applied to the drinking glass
ever been inquired into? 1 have in
my possession an old diary kept by a
great-uncle of mine in the year 1903,
in which occurs the following entry;
Had a few friends to dine. Tried my
new tumbling glasses. Very success,
full. All got drunk early" have
an indistinct recollection of my par.
ents being in possession of one of
these "tumbling glasses"-a glass
with a bottom somewhat similar to
that of a soda water bottle, so that
sne had constantly to keep hold of it
when in use. Is it not probable that
this was the reason of such glasses
being styled tumblers?-Notes and

SALTING OLD SALTS
Disgruntled Seamen Get a Gentle Rebuff
From President Grant.

From President Grant.
Il remember an incident" says
an American official correspondent,
''that clearly illustrates General
Grants character. When l was in
the navy, some hundreds of sailors of
the better class came to me and
asked to have some rank given them.
They did not care about an increase
of pay, they said, but they wanted
relative rank. l could not do any
thing for them, but they came sew
eral times and were rather inportu-
nate, and l finally led delegation of
them over to the White House and
let them present their petition to
President Grant in person.
They told him what they wanted
and argued for redress of their
grievances plainly, but forcibly At
last an old boatswain came to the
front, and hitching up his trousers
! and turning his quid said: Mr.. Pres
! ident, l can put this ere matter SOS
you can see it plain. Now, here 1 be
parent-in fact, father. Ny son
is a midshipman. He outranks me,
don't you observer That amt right,
don't you seer
"Indeedr said Grant. Who APP
pointed himY
1.-THE secretary here, the bo'sun
said, and encouraged by the ques-
ton he went on: 1t amt right, don't
you see, that l should be beneath i'm.
Why, eff l was to go onto his ship
the boy l brought up to obejence
would boss his own father! Jest
think of that An he has better
quarters n me an better grub, nice
furn' ture an all that-sleeps in nice
soft bed an all that. Seer
Yes, the president said, yes,
the world is full of inequalities. l
know of case quite similar to
yours.
THE old bo'sun gave another
hitch to his lower gear.
"I know Of an old fellow, said
General Grant, who is a postmaster
of little townin Kentucky. He lives
in plain way, in a small house.
He is a nice old man, but he isn't
much in rank. His son outranks
him more than your son does you.
His son lives in Washington in the
biggest house there, and he is sur
rounded by the incest Of furniture
and eats and drinks anything he
takes a notion to. He could remove
his father from office in a minute if
he wanted to, but he doesn't want
to- And the old man-that's Jesse
Grant, you know-doesn't seem to
care about the inequality in rank
suppose he is glad to see his boy
get along in the world
The old bo'sun looked down at the
carpet and tried to bore hole in it
with his toe, and his comrades all
laughed at him joyously and slapped
him on the back and filed out in
great glee. 1t was the last l ever
heard of the petition or the petition

Time Required For Digestion.

It is well to remember that piece
of beef remains in and engages the
stomach for about three hours, a
piece of salt beef or pork Al hours.
Nor is it right to sleep for some time
after meal. During sleep digestion
is suspended. The food remains in
the stomach and undergoes improper
changes, digestion is deferred till the
sleeper wakens, and then takes place
imperfectly. Indigestion and night
mares are the consequences. Boston

His Courtroom Thunder Stolen,

A member of the Massachusetts,
bar used to get verdicts by touching
appeals to tender feelings of jury
men, especially if his client was poor
and the defendant was a rich cor
poration. He became famous for get
ting verdicts in such cases One day
he met his match. The counsel for a
corporation which he had sued under
took to head him off. He had an OBJ
portunity to study his opponents
methods and gave special attention
to his style in the delivery of pathetic
passages.
Having the right to make the open
ing plea, he told the jury what to ex-
pect, described the attitude, tones and
manner of his brother lawyer. and
did it so thoroughly and faithfully
that he not only discounted the eff
fects of his plea, but so embarrassed
him that he could not do justice to
himself or his client, who lost his
case.-Boston Globe.

Underground Homes In Canada.


We still hear of cave jewellers in
Africa and some other parts of the
world. There Is a curious tribe in
British Columbia known as the Snu-
swap Indians who have nearly the
same way of living. These Indians
have given their names to one Of the
most beautiful lakes in the world.
The trains of the Canadian Pacific
travel along its shores, and as the
engine follows the winding banks it's
head is turned to every point of the
compass.
DR.. George NJ. Dawson of the geo
logical survey of Canada has writ
ten a paper on these Indians. He
says their winter dwellings are part
ly subterranean and that in parts Of
their country there are hollows mark
ing the former position of houses
whose underground portions must in
some instances have been 25 feet in
diameter Excavations are made on
sheltered hillsides, which are covered
with wooden framework and brush
and upon these a covering of earth
is spread. Many of these excavated
dwelling places are only 6 or 7 feet
wide, cylindrical in form and lined
with bark. Nothing is known of the
origin of these people, but they first
became acquainted with the whites
about the beginning of the present
century.-New York Sun.

A Strange People.

This is a good sentence from a
mahratta' to one of his correspond
ents written apparently about the
year of Argaum and Assaye: "These
English are strange people and
their general a wonderful man. They
came here in the morning, looked at
the Petta town wall, walked over it,
killed all the garrison and returned
to breakfast. What can Withstand
them?'-"B Bombay and India"

COMMONPLACE.

You say that my love is plain,
But that l cannot allow
When l look at the love for others
That's written on her brow.
She hasn't flashing eye,
She hasn't a well cut nose,
But smile for others pleasures
And fear for others woes.
And'ye l will own she's plain
Plain to be understood,
For who can doubt that her nature
Is loving and fair and good?
You say that you think her slow.
But how can that be with one
who's the first to do kindness
Whenever it can De de-.
Quick to perceive want.
Quicker to put it right,
Quickest in overlooking
injury, wrong and spite?
ana yet she is slow indeed,
SLOW any praise to claim,
SLOW to see wrong in others,
Slow to give careless blame.
Nothing to say for herself"
HeNG 10 llIc 1dulJ you ma.
Last to her words to the children.
Gentle and bright and kind.
LAST to her words to the sick,
Look at her patient ways,
Every word she utters
speaks In the speakers praise.
Nothing TO say for herself"
Yet right, most right, you are,
But plenty to say for others,
And that is better by far.
You say she is commonplace"
But there you make mistake,
would l could think she were so,
For other maidens' sake.
Purity, love and faith,
Are they such common things?
II hers were common nature,
Women would all have wings.
Beauty she may not have,
Talent nor wit nor grace,
But until she's among the angels
She will not be commonplace"
