WHAT MISSOURI" MEANS.

From Maine to the Mid West IL Stands
for Wooden Canoe.
The word Missouri properly means
"WOoden Canoe" 1t belongs to the
Illinois dialect of the Algonquin In
dian language. the language which
was generally spoken by the various
aboriginal tribes that dwelt between
the Mississippi river and the Della
wa:e bay and which contained many
words used by the Indians of New
England. The Brooklyn Eagle says
ii Is not very difficult to gather sup
port for the definition or derivation
of the name. Indian dictionaries are
common enough. and representatives

Narragansetts il was ..Me-shu-e;"

tribe it was ..Wicwes-Missuri' for a
birch bark canoe. and -Mis-su-re."
or ..We-Mes-su-re." for a wooden
canoe or canoe fashioned from a log
of wood. The name Missouri was
originally applied by the Illinois and
other Indians of the Lake Michigan
region to the tribe Of Indians living
west of the Mississippi and along the
great Muddy river. The term. liber-
ally interpreted. meant The wooden
canoe people" or. 1.-The people who
used wooden canoes" The Lake
Michigan Indians uniformly used
birch bark canoes. while the Indians
on the Muddy river used canoes dug
out OF logs. The turbulent stream
(the Missouri) was not adapted to
frail bark vessels. and the use of log
canoes was to the lake Indians such
a popularity that they named the
tribe or people using them
from this characteristic. But
it must be borne in mind that the
Missouri tribe of Indians did not call
themselves Missouris. They had no
such word in their language. Their
tribal name, or the name. which they
gave their tribe. was ..Nu-dar-cha,"
Dakota word. whose real significa-
ton is not known to the writer. al

New Zealand Trout.

'"There are many trout fishermen III
this country who would little rather
fish than eat, and who go to almost Nc
end of trouble and expense to find gooG
fishing. Why do they not go to New
Zealand" asks the NewYork Sun. ''OI
the east coast of the southern island
there are giant trout. From either one
of five snow-fed rivers one may take
one hundred pounds with n fly. The
trout average about four pounds il
weight, but run as heavy rs twenty-five
pounds. An cight-pouno!rr is about the
heaviest fish one may expect to catcl
with fly. These New Zealand trout
were originally from English streams
and twenty-five years ago there wer>
none there. The stocking with salmon

SACRED FISH,
A Strange Superstition of the Moslems OF
TrlpolI.

A Strange Superstition of the Moslems OF
TrlpOlI.
Near Tripoli the Moslems have erect
ed large, high building, with snow
white dome, near the pond and tree
known in occult literature as the "Pond
and Tree of the Sacred Fish" The
building itself has a title equally as
high-sounding as the pond and the tree,
being known throughout northern
Africa as THE Palace of the Sacred
Fish" The fish, which are kept in a
clear pool in the rear of the building,
much resemble common dace or club,
but the old sheix who has charge of
them says that they are really the re-
animated souls of departed Moslems of
high renown. One, large black fish,
the king of these piscatorial oddities, is
said to seldom show himself, but the
others may be seen in thousands. The
old sheil, who must be of theosoph-
ical turn of mind, says that during the
Crimean war many of the older fishes
went off under the sea to Sebastopol to
fight the Russians, and that hundreds Of
them came back badly wounded. The
people of Tripoli believe that anyone
SO indiscreet as to eat one of these fish
would instantly die a horrible death.
This superstition has been rife for years
As long ago as 1856 DIR. Jessup, the
American consul at Tripoli, caught
some of them and cooked and ate them
He pronounced them as coarse and un.
palatable food; otherwise unharmful.

No American prelate.is found on the
dinals by the pope. If any faith could
be placed in reports from Rome for over
year past, 1t was the intention of the
vatican to enroll one or more American
archbishops among the princes of the
church. The troubles in the American
hierarchy which have lately reached a
remarkable height have probably
prompted the pontiff to omit American
prelates from the list for the present.
A policy almost similar appears to be
followed in respect to Ireland. Arch
bishop Logue, the head of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy in that country, has
kept aloof from the factional disturb
ances in which politics and religion
have been almost equally mingled. He
has been made a cardinal, while prelates
more brilliant and prominent are over
looked for the time being. The pope
shows his good will to the French re.
public by nominating two Freuch arch
bishops to be princes of the church, the
name of another being reserved, it is
understood, for the approval of Presi
dent Carnot At the same time the
pope has granted two new cardinals tt
Germany, both of them prelates accept
able to the court of Berlin. The APP
pointments show much tact and pru
dence. Leo NH has proved anew hi:
right to be considered an able states
man as well as a devout churchman

THE sad news came at noon, to day
that James G. Blaine was dead. The
announcement is not surprising, yet it
will be sorrowfully received by men of
all political creeds, who admired MIR
Blaine. for his great. genius. He was
human and had his faults, but people
will think of HIM tenderly, as a man
who had to contend with more than his
share of the sorrows of this life. The
many severe attacks which Mr. Blaine
has suffered within.the past few years.
his frequent bereavements, and the de-
feat of his political aspirations, told up
on even his strong constitution and he
could not survive that grand climacteric,
sixty-three years, when great change
is supposed to take place in the human
constitution, By the death of Mr. Blaine
the leading man of the republican party
and one OF. the greatest statesmen.of the
age has passed away.

Boston, Jan. 27.-Rey. Arthur Brooks,
of New York, brother of the late Bishop,
has been made executor of the latter's es-
lrate.
Bishop Potter, of New York, will, it is
stated, occupy the pulpit of Trinity next
Sunday, and preach a sermon on the
death of Bishop Brooks.
The churches of the diocese are remov-
ing the Christmas decorations and re-
placing them with mourning.
Accompanied by evidences of public
grief such as have not been manifested in
this community before for a generation ut
least, the remains of the late Bishop
Phillips Brooks were consigned to their
last resting place in st. Auburn Cemetery
Tie interior of Trinity was packed
With the funeral attendants who bad been
ushered to their places by the same force
of marshals which officiated at Bishop
Brooks confirmation less than two years
ago. at IL O'Clock the church services be-
gan. Organist j. @. d. Parker opened
with voluntary, Jesus, Lover of My
Soul"
The enormous congregation rose, as the
vestry doors opened and the procession
headed by five bishops entered. These
were followed by the diocese committee
and the casket borne upon the shoulders
of eight Harvard students.
Then came the honorary pall-bearers.
The body was placed in front of the
chancel, and Bishop Potter read the Epis-
copal burial service No eulogY was pro-
nounced.
When the casket was borne out of the
church at the close of the interior servi-
ces it was placed on a draped catafalque
in front of the west vestibule steps. Rev.
E w. Donald, rector of Trinity, offered a
short, impressive prayer, closing with the
Lords prayer, during which every head
was bowed. Tears rolled down the
cheeks of strong men, and the only sound
besides the murmur of hushed voices
joining in the prayer, was an occasional
sob
Then the casket was placed in the
hearse and the solemn pageant move d
over Cambridge bridge to Mt. Auburn
l cemetery. While the Trinity service was
| in progress an overflow service was held
in the First Baptist church, Common

4 with all classes and conditions of people.
At the close of the burial service there
was u surging of the crowd toward the
lot and there was scarcely anyone present
who did not bear away with him some
memento in shape of flower or n bit of
green that had lain by the grave of their
beloved bishop.

THE tifty-second congress may die Il
senatorial deadlock unprecedented IN
the annals of cangress, if Mr. Harrison
follows the advice that is now be-
ing gwen him by prominent members
of his party and dominates republican
as successor to the late Justice Lamar
The United States supreme court is, in
theory, if not in fact, non-partisan
body, and the death of Justice Lamar
leaves only two men-Chief Justice
Fuller and Justice Field-on its bench
who were democrats before their ap-
pointments thereto after a man takes
his seat on that bench he is not sup
posed to have any politics, but the DEM
ocratic party knows to it's cost what a
mistaken idea that is. 1t is only Justice
to the people whose interests are con-
stantly at stake in questions coming be-
fore the court that it's membership
should be as nearly divided between the
political parties as possible, and for that
reason the democratic senators are dis
posed to resort to every honorable
IueIHOu 10 prevent Gne auulClOn OF
another republican to the six
already sitting on the bench, and if Mr.
Harrison dominates republican to the
vacancy they will, if they can, deadlock
the senate, even if it results in hanging
up all legislation and forcing an extra
session of congress. In view of MI
Harrison's early retirement and the fact
that the new justice cannot take his
seat until after President Cleveland's
term begins. it would only be common
decency for Mr. Harrison to leave the
vacancy for Mr. Cleveland to fill, and il
it were not for the pressure that is being
brought to bear upon him by his party
associates it is believed that he would
adopt that manly course. Should he
nominate Attorney General Miller, who
has been his personal preference fol-
every vacancy in the court that has oc.
CURED during his term, it is believed
that republican senators would be glad
to see the nomination rejected. The
greatest danger lies in the nomination
of some republican like ex-senator
Spooner, whose personal popularity
with democratic senators might prevent
their voting against his confirmation.

THE favorable report to the house on
the bill repeating all federal election
laws contains some very strong Ian
guage, but, as the report truthfully
says, "these laws are a continued
menace to the peace and welfare of the
country" and nothing said against
them can be too strong. The house will
pass this bill, not with any expectation
that it can get through the senate al
this session, but to emphasize the posi-
ton of the democratic part, against
these laws.
