THE TERM "YANKEE."
Various Theories Which Have Been Ad
vanced as to Its Origin.

Various Theories Which Have Been Ad-
vanced as to Its Origin.
The theories which have been ad-
vanced as to the origin of the name
Yankees are numerous. According to
Thierny, it was corruption of Jakin,
a diminutive of John, which was a
nickname given by the Dutch colo
nists of New York to their neighbors
in the Connecticut settlements.
In history of the American war
written by DR.. William Gordon and
published in 1889 was another theory.
DIR. Gordon said that it was a cant
word in Cambridge, Mass, as early as
1713, used to denote especial excellence
as a Yankee good horse, Yankee
good cider, etc. He supposed that it
was originally byword in the college,
and being taken by the students into
parts of the country gradually obtained
general currency in New England, ana
at length came to be taken up in other
parts of the country and applied to
New Englanders as term of slight re-
proach.
Aubury, an English writer, says that
it is derived from Cherokee word
eankee-which signifies coward and
slave. This epithet was bestowed upon
the inhabitants of New England by
the Virginians for not assisting them
in war with the Cherokees. The
most probable theory, however, is that
advanced by Mr.. Heckewelder-
the Indians in endeavoring to pro-
nounce the word English, or AnglaiS
made it Yengees or Yangees and this
originated the term.

LONGEVITY OF MAN.
People Who Have Attained to Remark
able Old Age.

ReOple VINO Have Attained TO Remark
able Old Age.
1t was Prof. Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life NAV
be set at two hundred years-this on
the general principle, says the St.
Louis Republic, that the life of nearly
years, months or weeks of it's period
of growth. That which quickly comes
to maturity quickly perishes, and the
earlier complete development is
reached the sooner bodily decay en-
sues. More women reach old age than
men, but more men attain remarkable
longevity than women.
Horned animals are shorter lived
than those without horns, fierce longer
than timid, and amphibious creatures
longer than those which inhabit the
air. The pike will continue to live for
one hundred and fifty or one hundred
and seventy-fve years, and the com
mon turtle is good for at least a cen
tury. Passing up the scale of life to
man and skipping the patriarchs We
find many recorded instances of ex-
traordinary longevity.
The ancient Egyptians lived three
times as long as the modern lotus eat
ers. Instances of surprising and
authentic longevity among the classic
Greeks and Romans are not at all rare
Pliny notes the fact that in the reigl
of Emperor Vespasian rs A. D.
there were 1874 men living in limited
area on the River Pc who were 10
years old and upward. Three of these
were 140 and seven others over d30
Cicero's wife lived to be 1o3, and the
Roman actress Luceja played in pub
lie after she had celebrated her one
hundred and twelfth birthday.

TRIALS OF A BORROWER.
lrHprovidence Rebuked at Loan Office,
Where Cash Is Lent the Same Day."

lnprovidence Rebuked at Loan Office,
Where Cash Is Lent the Same Day"
A gentleman suffering from financial
disability went to a loan Office to nego-
tate borrow on his furniture. In the
advertisement it stated that the money
would be lent the same day by Choc-
taw lady, without removal and upon the
note OF hand of the borrower. All this
looked very fine in print.
I've got $4,000 worth of personal
property" said the would be borrower
"and L have to meet a wash bill of $3.50
coming due tomorrow noon. Can l get
f1tted out here so as to be in position to
meet the collector without a blush?"
The manager of the loan office was
strangely silent. The would be borrower
became nervous and thought he hadn't
said the speech right, and so he began
over again in this style:
Il am person of poor but honest par
entage, temporarily embarrassed. Ineed
the sum Of $3.50 to meet an unjust liza
bility."
Stlll there was no answer. Then the
borrower walked into the outside room
and said to the office boy:
whats the matter with the manager?
Can't he talk?"
Il guess it's because you haven't paid
the entrance fee. No person is men,
Der of this loan society until he has put
up one dollar"
The borrower apologized and deposit
ed the money. Next he repaired to the
manager and repeated his original as
sertion.
"We charge one dollar more for book
age" said the manager.
whats bookage?'
That's none of your business. One
dollar, please"
He paid the money, and the manager
wrote down something in book.
Now give me two dollars to inspect
the furniture"
The borrower gave him the money.
"Now call here next year at 2 o'clock
IN the afternoon and get our answer"
But the money is due tomorrow"
Cant help it. Put 'em off"
But you can't put people like that
Off. There are some fellows that won't
wait"
The manager smiled a superior smile.
"Oh, no there aren't" he said You'll
know little more about waiting when
you get through with u.s."
The borrower left the office reluctant
ly and returned the following year at 2
o'clock. Then the manager told him
somewhat sternly that he couldn't lend
money on that furniture because it had
r,Nf zoo oil t.. L..
resented that it was new when his claim
was filed. The manager ended the in
terview by charging him S1.25 storage
on the ''papers in the case" and then
had the janitor throw him out. This
ended the whole transaction. New

Eating Several Meals "A Day.

When, as rarely happens, English
farm laborers come to this country, they
find it extremely difficult to accommo-
date themselves to the current American
custom of eating but three meals day
An English maidservant and nurse, who
lived to be more than 100 years old
averred that she had always been accus-
toned to "a dew bit and breakfast, a
stray bit and dinner, a nommet, crum-
met, and a bit after supper" Extra
meals are common enough during the
harvest season in this country The hasty
breakfast at $3.50 in the morning is fol-
lowed by a "stray bit" at o'clock and
by luncheon between the MONDAY din
ner and the after sunset supper. In parts
of southern Pennsylvania the dinner
hour is / o'clock in the morning, and it
would not be difficult to show that
Americans living on the same meridian
are dining all the way from that hour
until in the evening. The great mass
of country folk still dine at noon.-New
York Sun,

A Very Ancient Canoe.

In 1881 canoe followed out of the
trunk of tree was found at Bovey-
Tracey, in Devonshire. 1t lay in de-
posit of brick earth more than twenty
nine feet below the highest level reached
by the waters of the Bovey. Ii was
more than thirty-fve inches wide, and its
length could not be exactly determined
the workmen having broken it in getting
it out. An eminent archeologist is of
opinion that this boat dates from the
glacial epoch-perhaps even from more
remote time. If this hypothesis, the re-
sponsibility of which we leave to him,
be correct, this is the most ancient wit
ness in existence of prehistoric naviga-
tion.-" Manners and Monuments Of Pre-

DETROIT, Feb. 22.-It is rumored in this
city that Don NJ. Dickinson, notwithstand-
ing his previous statements to the contrary,
has partially promised to enter the cabinet
of Mr.. Cleveland as secretary of the navy. 1t
Is believed that Mr.. Dickinsor's reluctance
to give up his large private practice has
been overcome. His hurried trip to this
city, presumably to arrange his personal af-
fairs, so that without great loss he can ac-
cept seat in the cabinet, and the fact that
MIR. Cleveland has given no sign as to who
is to be the next attorney general, coupled
with his generally accepted desire to have
Mr.. Dickinson in the cabinet, are offered
to substantiate the rumor.

A sensation was created at Mauch
Chunk on Tuesday by the discovery that
one of the quarter session court dockets
had been stolen from the prothonotary' s
Office since Saturday last. On that
morning an article appeared in the
Democrat, calling attention to certain
costs that had been paid into the county
treasury by the present prothonotary,
which he had collected at different times
in criminal cases, and that no such costs
had ever been paid over or accounted
for by his predecessor. The publication
amounted to an accusation of embezzle-
ment. The docket containing the ac-
counts of such costs collected is the one
said to be stolen.

alone suitallo divides the distances, be-
ing 1880 miles from Nicaragua and 1900
from Hong Kong. Jalusts Strong's
island and Bonabee are too far south of
the route to be considered. By the
geographical necessity of the case every
thing centers at Hoholulu, as the only
port to call. The larger part of the
steamers crossing the Pacific will find it
expedient to coal at Honolulu. 1t seems
certain that all those to and from Nicar-
aqua will go so. Within ter wears Hon
elUlu will clearly have to provide for the
accommodation of frcm twenty to thirty
large steamers per month, together with
that OF the colliers supply ing them and
this in addition to her present trade
1t is true that steamships can make the
run of 5000 miles from Nicaragua to
Hong Kong or Yokohama without re-
plenisbing their bunkers. 1t will not,
however, ordinarily pay to do that. The
storage of the necessary coal will dis.
place just so much paying freight.
