nueer IIIstorv Of Some words.

Speaking of the strange, eventful his
tory of words, the Hartford Courant
notes that queen originally meant
simply woman, but now deslgnates
the most glittering place winch me
earth can bestow, while with the sllght-
ly different spelling of "queanD II
stands for woman of different sort;
so, too, .'knaven at the start meant
only boy, as in the German 1orin'
sknabe;" but as boys go wrong some
times the word in time obtained an un !,
pleasant meaning. The word I'M"
might have been added as having very
much the same history of 'lznave," for
meaning, first, a scion on shoot, il next
stood for a child, and now it means an
inferior devil. Lord Bacon spoke OIL
"those most virtuous and goodly young
imps, the duke of Suffolk and his
brothern

4 FriendIr settlement.

Maj Campion, in his book ION the
Frontier" describes a deer hunt, in the
course of which he found his dog
astride the dead body of deer, while
an Indian stood little way off, bow
and arrow in hand. By signs he made
the white man understand that he had
wounded the deer and the dog pulled it
down. Then he cut up the deer, tied
the fore half of it up in the skin and
placed it on one side. The other half
he laid at Maj. Campion's feet, deliver
ing himself of speech in the Ute Ian
guage. The white man understood his
meaning, but not word of his address.
The Indian and the dog had killed the
deer together, and the dogs owner was
entitled to half the game. The maJor
was equal to the emergency. lie rose
and delivered in full the classical
defamation: 'My name is Norvai'
with appropriate gestures, just as he
had many times given it at school
Nothing could have been better. The
Indian and the white man shook hands
with effusion and each with his share
of the yenison rode away.

ANEcDoTE OF JAY GOULD.

He was a Newspaper Correspondent as
Wei as Surveyor.
The papers of late have been well
filed with all sorts of talk, some true
and some false, about jay Gould and
family. Old John Gould, of Roxbury,
JAWS father, is spoken of as very poor,
which, according to the Detroit Free
Press, is not true. He was sturdy,
well-read, intelligent farmer, in good
circumstances. At the time of the
anti-rent war in the county he stood up
boldly for the laws until better ones
could be made. When ordered by the
Big Thunder not to have the dinner
horn blown to call the men to meals he
went right on as usual One day the
horn was blown and In less than an
hour a body of disguised men appeared
to call him to account, Big Thunder in
command He told him his family
would do as they pleased, and he was
threatened. Jay stood by and said;
II know who you are, Big Thunder;
YOU are Dan Squires, and you dare not
| kill nv fathern Here is the keynote
to the whole career of Jay Gould-an
independent audacity that never failed
him. When mapping the county and
making up his history of Delaware
county he was a correspondent for the
Franklin Visitor, and its prospectus was
published in the history in full. His
| letters to the Visitor were always spicy
and interesting and were kept up until
he built the tannery in Wayne county.
He then advised me to ask his sister
Betty to write for the paper, and /
found her one of the best correspond
ents 1 ever had. She became Mrs Dr.
Palen, of well-known medical firm OF
Philadelphia, and has her home in Cam
den, N. j., opposite that city

ON a COMET.
That Is Where Scientist Believes Hades
VIII Be Located.


VIII Be Located.
What do you think Of theidea OF hell,
the future abode of the wicked, being
situated in the nucleus of some gigantic
comet? This opinion, says the st.
Louis Republic, odd as it may seem to
those who have given comets and the
future state of the dead but little at
tention, has been entertained by many
really eminent scientists and philoso-
pliers, among them the learned DR..
Winston, the friend and sometimes adj
wiser of the great Sir Isaac Newton.
In answer to the inquiries of a friend,
who wrote to ask the doctor for some
tangible proof on the subject, the fol-
lowing unique theories were adj
vanced. {" According to my
calculations and deductions, this theory,
which you rightly say must belong to
me and me alone, does locate hell, the
awful prison house of the damned, in
the fiery nucleus of some perhaps yet
slndiseovered) comet of unthinkable
size.
sIn this wide circling chariot of fire
they will be whirled in the twinkllng
of an eve from the intolerable heat OF
the surface of the sun back into space
hundreds and hundreds of millions OF
miles from the great torch-searer OF our
system
Titus instantly the wretched tenants
will be given two unbearable extremes
one of cold and the other of heat; this
to continue through the endless ages OF
eternity. while the Almighty is dlspens-
ing the seventies of justice" Did NOR
tai man ever harbor more horrible
idea than this?

. SHOWER OF BLACK RAIN.
examination Proved 1t to Have Fetid
Smell and Had Taste.

The meteorological records Of the
world chronicle several incontestible
instances OF black rainfalls to say moth
ing of the more startling phenomena OF
s'showers of blood, blue SHOWS" etc.
Prof Barker in April, 1s45, laid before
the Royal society Of Dublin some OBJ
servations on shower Of black rain
which fell around Carlaw and Kilkenny,
extending altogether over an area OF
about four hundred square miles.
During the course of his lecture Prof.
Barker exhibited to the society a speci-
men of this uncanny shower which had
been sent him by a friend. The speci-
men shown in the vial was of uniform
black color, much resembling common
black writing fluid. DIR. Barker found,
however, that, after allowing it to stand
for a short period, the black coloring
matter separated from the water with
which it had mixed, rendering the color
of the rainwater much lighter, but still
dark enough to be called "black rain"
The shower, which was in broad day
light, was preceded by darkness 50
dense as to make it impossible for one
to read without the aid OF candle.
After this darkness had continued for
some time, a hailstorm set in, attended
with vivid lightning, but without the
least seinblance of thunder. When this
hailstorm was over the black rain be-
gan to fall.
On examination of the rain immedl-
ately after the storm was over 1t was
found to have an extremely fetid smell,
as well as very disagreeable taste All
light-colored animals and all articles OF
clothing exposed bore dark spots and
stains, and cattle refused to drink the
water or eat the grass until after a
shower of real rain" had washed OFT
the black, poisoning matter.

WHY WOMEN ARE NOT BALD
Natural Selection Protects Them from
the Prevailing Tendency.

Natural Selection Protects Them from
the Prevailing Tendency.
If the unsatisfactory statistics that
have been able to collect can be relied
on, the proportion of badness in boys
and Girls under twenty is about eighty
to seven, says Miss e. f. Andrews in
the Popular Science Monthly. AS the
majority of girls at the age UNDERGO
Grafton wear their hair loose, or IN SIM
pie marguerite braids, so that there
is little likelihood of deception, while
unwholesome headgear or other indi-
vidual practices can hardly, as yet, have
had time to produce any material effect
upon either sex, we may regard the diff
ference indicated by the figures as prac-
tically due to the working of heredity
alone
Now, there is no apparent reason why
girls should not inherit tendency to
badness as well as boys, unless that
tendency is checked by some other fac
tor. Such factor is sexual selection;
for / presume it is hardly necessary to
arrue here that a bald-headed woman
would not stand much chance of sur
vivaln in the struggle for matrimonlal
honors AS men have always practi-
cally done the Selecting" and will
probably continue to do so more and
more as the conditions of modern life
render the competition for husbands
more severe, the woman's voice IN the
matter, when she has any, being limit
ed to simple negative, it is not likely
that the state of badness to which the
human race is said to be tending viii
ever affect the feminine half of it.

Law GouId's Retort.

The day after Black Friday Mr..
Gould's old partner, Henry ~ smith,
shaking his finger in Mr. Goulds face
shouted: 'I'll live to see the day, SIR
when you have to earn living by 60
ing around this street with a hand

will, Henry; maybe you will" was the
soothing response; ''and when want a
monkey, Henry, I'll send for you.
