for Observation-Disclosures for
Today's Convention at the plymouth
Church-Branch of Y. MI. Formed.

Two boys, who gave their names as
Edward Wall and John McNulty, resid-
ing on SHETLAND street, were found
stealing potatoes yesterday afternoon
from the store of Il. Barnett, on North
Broomly avenue. They filled their
pockets from basket outside with as
many potatoes as they would hold.
After walking away and disposing of
these, they would return and renew
their thieving. Mr., Barnett grew sus-
picious OF the lads and watched them.
AS they were taking some of the pota-
toes he walked out and captured them.
Not wishing to make any disturbance,
Mr.. Barnett took the boys to their
homes, where they were given in charge
of their parents.

witnesses besides. all parties from
Pleasant district, down netr Hazel

the plaintiff AVID y. NJ. Wotring for
the defendant. The evidence was
to the effect that Conway and Glov-
er had traded horses over year
ago, Glover getting a good young
horse and $l5 to boot, five dollars
cash and note for $40, while Con.
way got an older horse, that turned

found this out he wanted to trade
back, but Glover refused and prom.
lsei to make it all right, which he
failed to do, putting Conway off for
year. under the mistaken idea
that this length of time cut Conway
out by limitation, from suing for
damages. He then sued on the
note, got judgement and made Con

before Justice Goodwin and sued
Glover fer $50 damages. The JUS
tice gave him $40 and costs, about
$50, making $40 for Glover to pay
for incorporating the matter.

SayingI DeEOsits.

The last published report Of the
Comptroller Of the Currency for the
year 1893 shows that there were then
1000 savings banks in the country,
with 4,830,59 savings depositors
(this does not include savings in other
classes of banks, which are also large),
and an aggregate Of l,785, $50, 957 in
savings deposits. This makes an
average Of s369.50 for each savings
depositor. In the cotton mills Of
Fall River, where a strike was re-
Gently inaugurated, the average pay
for %, 920 employees was Sc. rs per
week, a trifle over dollar day, and
in only two Of the mills did the earn
ings Of operatives average So week,
and in only five Of the forty-two mills
did the average weekly wages fall
under So. Fall River has four large
savings banks, in which there are on
deposit S13, 633, 1871, and six-tenths Of
these deposits are by operatives in the
cotton mills. AS in all manufacture
ing towns, the family income is no
doubt composed Of the earnings OF
all the members able to work. Men
In this world get ahead by what they
keep and not by what they earn and
spend. Report says that the factory

Whence Comes "Dinner?r

1t seems to me, indeed, that the word
diner in one or other form is more
used In the South of rance than in the
other parts. | have often been sur
prised to find how little it is used
among the peasants, though now, no
doubt, since communication is so easy,
the word is everywhere understood.
Where have made inquiries (which
was not in the south, l have generally
found that dinner was called either la
soupe, or else Coulter, and that the
word diner was not used.
As long as the French soldiers had
bouilli and the broth resulting from
1t PREF aration twice day, the two
meals were called la soupe du matin ct
la soupe du soir, the former being their
dinner. And even now, when they
have soup once only, neither of the
meals is called diner, but repas du
matin and repas du soir are the terms
used, as l have been informed by
French Office. am consequently in
cline1 to believe that the word diner
originated in Italy, especially as there
desinar disinar) is more especially
used of the dinner of the poorer classes,
while pranZo and pranzar are rather
used of the more delicate dinner of
those who are in higher social sta
ton I
In Tuscany, indeed Jas Tuscan lady
tells me) among the laborers the sub
stantive used is common y desina; and,
as there is no such corresponding sub
stantive in French, and it is at least as
likely if not more likely that desinar
preceded the verb as that 1T is derived
from it, this is certainly some slight
argument in favor of the Italian origin
of the word. This desina Tor disina)
takes place at midday.
The word IS accented on the 1; and
it seems to me extremely unlikely that
the French disner should have given
rise TO form disnar desinar), with
vowel inserted between the and the
n, and that the corresponding sub
stantive should have the accent on the
inserted vowel. The Academy.
