Tasting Sailors Food.

When Emperor William tasted the
food Of his sailors on board his yacht
at COwes he did only what is pre-
scribed in the United States navy
and probably every navy in the world.
When the Italian man of-war the
Giovanni Bausan lay at the Brooklyn
navy yard the young gentleman act
ing as officer of the deck a certain
day excused himself to visitor and
turned aside to taste with due so,em

same thing occurs at early morning.
when coffee is served, and at night
when the sailors have supper. The
officer Of the deck is. the representa-.

the former tastes the sailors food he
does it vicariously for the latter.
Emperor William merely did for
himself what the United States
naval commander does through the

the name to "chikagou, a celebrated
Indian chief;"a third derivation finds
Tuck-Chicago as the Indian pane Of
the place, tuck signifying wood or
timber" Chicago, destitute" and
the whole phrase meaning "a place
without wood" But the best known
and most widely accepted derivation
is that given by Schoolcraft, who re-
fers IL to Chi-cag, animal of the
leek," polecat or skunk, and finds
that the word means 'place of
skunks." This last derivation is re-
sponsible for the name Skunktown
applied to the new town in its early
years. Americans generally pro.
nounce the word as il spelled Shicago;
Canadians and English call the place
Tschickahgo; French are inclined to
say Chic-ag-go, with the accent on the
first syllable, while the others accent
it on the second syllable.

A Bicycle Fire Extinguisher.

Boston has discovered a new line
Of usefulness for the bicycle. Some
inventive genius has fitted a wheel
with small chemical tank and fire
AK, with which experiments are going
on at the house of ladder company,
South Boston. One Of the bicycle
houses of that city fitted up a ma
chine of this sort some time ago, and
sent it to the Chicago Eair. to be
placed in its exhibit. and the machine
at South Boston is the second one of
the sort ever tried. The captain Of
the ladder company says that the
practical value OF the experiment.
could not be estimated at present.
The machine is being tried by one
of his men, who is a wheelman, and
for whom it was made. 1t is a lady's
light register, with cushion tires,
and with it's whole outfit weighs
about 60 pounds. The chem
ical tank, fixed between the
head of the machine and the seat,
holds about two gallons of chem
ical, which amounts as an extin-
guisher to twelve pals of water. In
speaking of the experiment the capt
ain says: ION the Back Bay or in
the outskirts OF the city, where there
are good roads, the machine may be
of use in extinguishing slight fires,
caused by smoking chimneys blazing
curtains or the like, but on the pave
ments of the city it would probably
be of little use. One in each engine
house would probably be all that the
department would ever use. and as
yet the experiment has not even been
brought to the notice of the fire ccp-
mission. "-HardWare.

The Skirt Of the DAY.

The skirt with gored front and
sides and full back breadths has
proved one of the most satisfactory
patterns of the medium class gowns,
such as the average woman depends
upon so largely. Home dressmakers
find this skirt easy to make. 1t
hangs well, can be cut from goods Of
any width, is neither too full nor too
scant, and is the best 'all-round"
skirt in use.
BY any one with the least knack it
can be cut without a pattern. When
the seams are sewed it should be laid
on table large enough to support its
full width, or on the floor, and trim
off around the bottom by eye The
only mistake likely to he made in
fashiOnlng this skirt is in trimming
too little of of the gored seam at the
side OF the back. This has a ten
aency to sag. and il not carefully
