New YORK, April 4.-Despite the incessant
downpour of rain to-day the Hungarian citi-

their love and respect for their late patriotic
idol Louis Kossuth.
The procession, headed by Grand Marshal
Adolph Friedman, paraded through the prin-
cipal avenues on the east side and then re-
turned to Broadway at Union square, The
route lay down the principal thoroughfares to

who seemed not to mind the pitiless rain so
long as they could show their devotion to the
departed patriot.
The head of the procession reached the
park about 3 O'Clock, and Mayor Gilroy,
accompanied by Registrar Levy, stood at the
top OF the white steps TO review It. As the
heads of the different societies reached the
hall Registrar Levy introduced them to the
mayor. As carriages containing the only
surviving relatives of the dead patriot passed

yankee" /"

There are comparatively few people
who know the origin or meaning o.
the word Yankee" by which we arr
accustomed, more or less aftectionate
ly, to designate our American cousins
born in the United States. When the
Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth
Rock, the friendly Indians asked o1
what people they were. to which que
ry they replied; English" But
the red man got it ''Yengeese," which
soon became transformed into "Yan'
kees."
The people of the Southern States
call Northerners, both East and West
"Yankees," as will be remembered
by those familiar with the civil war
The people OF the Western States, cal
all those living in the Eastern States,
or east of the Hudson river, "Yan'
kees," and these are the only people
who acknowledge the name and also
thus describe themselves. On the
other hand all the English colonists,
and the people of Great Britain inva-
riably call all citizens of the United
States Yankees" and when abroad
they cheerfully accept and are gener'
ally proud of the title, which, as We
have seen, means and is only corrup-
ton of the word, "English."

He Mastered the Cigarette.

On rainy afternoon recently, was
passing by the corner of two main
streets in the city of Philadelphia,
when saw lad perhaps twelve years
of age, standing, with Il cigarette in
his mouth, beneath the awning Of the
store property on that particular cor
ner. AS 1 stopped, with dripping, up
lifted umbrella in my hand, right IN
front of the little fellow, | perceived
by the swarlhiness of his skin, and
tile curliness of his black hair, that he
was a mulatto. He was well-featnred
withal, and his complexion of
healthy color, not at all resembling
that sallow, sickly llue which so gen.
orally marks the faces of small boys
who have become addicted 60 the habit.
There was little doubt in my mind
that he was only beginning to smoke,
and what a pity, what pity,"' l said
to myself, THAT such a ce-looking
boy should surrender himself to the
uncleanly and unhealthy practice" ]"
His tidy clothes were good evidence
that he was we'll cared for at home.
On the fiagstone pavement at his feet
was goodly-sized square basket, COW
cred with clean and smooth muslin
spread, tucked in all around, seeming
to Indicate that there was washed and
ironed linen beneath, and that the
mother earned living at laundry
work.

suasively, Its bad for small boy,

not in the least degant in his manner,
but rather ashamed to have drawn out
a remark upon what he felt was not
the right thing to do. Then, when |
further repeated the warning, and
said that he did not look like the sort
of boy that would be seen smoking, he
removed the paper-wrapped weed from
his mouth, and held it in his hand.
The indecision, however, was only
momentary. The battle was short and
decisive, and, with quick, determined
fling, the rejected cigarette was cast at
bis feet. At once the color mounted
to bis handsome cheeks, showing what
a struggle his young heart had had,
and how he felt he had gained vic
tory.
''That's right! All, that's right W ]
said in as encouraging tones as could
command, and as the victor over tobac-
co drew himself up and moved away,
felt hopeful that he would be strength
ened to resist the tempter when the
inward Monitor whispered, and there
was shown him the way in which it
was safe for him to walk. God has not
left himself without witness, even in
very young hearts, so that it is proba.
BILE, did we who so deplore this evil OF
cigarette smoking on the part of the
young, bear it prayerfully on our
minds, we would frequently feel the
impulse to speak the right words at the
right time, and perhaps many be res.
cued from bondage which, when not
stoutly withstood, it seems almost i'm
possible to break.

A startling discovery, of interest to
every body who eats meat packed In
Chicago, has been made and put into
cold type by a Chicago newspaper. 1t
is stated that there are in round mum.
bers 100000 cattle shipped into the
Union Stock Yards each year. Upon
the basis that three in every thousand
are diseased there are from 5000 to TO-
600 diseased cattle received each year.
Of this number the inspectors appoint
ed by the state and city have caught
during the past five years about 10000
each year, leaving possibly 5000 that
have been slaughtered each year and
placed upon the market for food.
Many packers are said to be constantly
engaged in the business of buying and
selling the diseased cattle, simply be-
cause these animals could he had at
greatly reduced figures.-St. Louis

So far as q young man Sowing his
wild oats" is concerned, writes Ed
ward w. Box in some editorials for
Young men in the March Ladies' Home
Journal, it has always seemed a pity to
me that the man who framed that sen.
tence didn't die before he construed it.
From the way some people talk one
would imagine that every man had in
stilled into him at his birth certain
amount of deviltry which he must get
rid of before he can become a man OF
honor. Now, what is called "sowing
wild oats" u nothing more or less than
self-degraoation to any young man.
1t doesn't make man one particle
more of q man because he has passed
through a seige of riotous living ana
ipdiscretion when he was nineteen or
twenty it makes him just so much
less of q man. 1t dwarfs his views OF
life far more than it broadens them.
And he realizes this afterward. And
he doesn't know one iOta more OF
life,n except certain phase of it,
which, if it has glitter for him in
youth, becomes q repellent remem-
brance to him when he is matured.
There Is no such thing as an investi-
eating period in mans life: at one
period it is as important to him to be
honorable and true to the teachings OF
his mother as at another.
No young man need seek the dark
er side of life." The Lord knows that
it forces itself upon our attention soon
enough. It does not wait to be sought.
A Young man need not be afraid that
he will fail to see it. He will see
plenty of it, and without any seeking
ON his part either. And even II De
does fail he is the gamer. There are
a great many things which we can &C.
cept by inference as existing In. THIS
world. 1t is not liberal education to
see them. Too many young men have
q burning itch to see wickedness-not
to indulge in it, rs they are quick to
explain, but simply to see 1t. But the
thousands of men who have never seen
it have never felt themselves the losers
If anything, they are glad of it. II
does not raise q man g ideal to come IN
to contact with certain types of man
hood or womanhood which are only
removed from the lowest types of the
animal kingdom by virtue of the fac'
that the Creator chose to have them gel
through the world on two legs instead
of four. The loftiest ideal of woman
hood that q young man can form in his
impressionsble days will prove none
too high for him in his years OF ma
turity. To be true to the best that Is
within q man means, above all, to bt
an earnest believer in the best quail
ties of womanhood.

Finish What You Begin.

My old great-grandmother Knox had
a way of making her children finish
their work. If they began a thing,
they must complete it. If they under
took to build cob house, they must
not leave it till it was done; and moth
ing of the work or play at which they
set their hands would she allow them
to abandon incomplete. I sometimes
wish had been trained in this way.
How much of life is wasted in untin-
ished work? Many man uses up his
time in splendid beginnings. The la
Dor devoted to commence ten things
and leave them useless would finish
five of them and make them prOtita-
ole and useful. Finish your work.
Life is brief, time is short. Stop be-
ginning forty things and going back to
finish four.

Etiquette of Conversation.

Do not talk of your private, personal
and family affairs.
Do not talk very loud. A firm,
clear, distinct, yet mild; gentle and
musical voice, has great power.
Do not speak with contempt or rid
icule of a locality where y ou may be
visiting. Find something to truthful,
ly praise and commend; thus make
yourself agreeable.
Do not make pretense of gentility,
nor parade the fact that you are des-
cendant of any notable family. You
must pass for just what you are, and
must stand on your own merit.
Do not make parade of being ac-
quainted with distinguished or
wealthy people, of having been to col
lege, or having visited foreign lands.
All this is no evidence of real genuine
worth on your part.-Rural Home.
