NOTICEABLE.
That the Holiday Trade Is Earlier
than Usual.

The impression prevails that the holiday
buyers are out earlier than usual this year.
In fact, indications point to such being the
case, judging from the great many people
seen in PAUL II. KRAUSS'S haberdashery
on Saturday Possibly the extra nice line
of goods shown by Mr. krauss may be the
cause for the large number OF people going
showing some rare ideas in silk umbrellas
for ladies and gentlemen; also new fads in
ladies' handkerchiefs, mackintoshes, carriers
and underwear, and gentlemen's neckwear,
so on. The few days remaining between
this and Christmas will likely be lively
with business at this old haberdashery.

the farmers At their homes. and. of course,
by hand. Unless you go to the valley it,
self it Is almost impossible to obtain one
of these chceseS now, for most Of the
farmers have learned to club together:
their milk ~ carried in cans to central

cows feeding in divers pastures is mingled
together. and the delcacy of the oid-time
Camcmbert Is lost.
The cows are MIXED in the morning, at
noon AMI before the sun has Set. The
three milk.rgs of evening, morning and
noon are mixed together and at once made
into cheese. In the homemade article the
milk has not been shaken or exposed to
sun or cold. and the result has something
subtle and unctuous In flavor. But in the
factories which have come up OF late years

1t is appropriate, in conclusion, to note
the expenses Of an ample senatorial fune-
raj. The funeral of the late Senator Col
quit cost the Senate S2S23.12, not to men
ton the $1,000 paid to his widow. This
expense was divided as follows: SlSo.GO for
hack hire and general expenses incurred
by the assistant sergeant-at-arms in charge
of the funeral; S6aS to the undertaken fer
general funeral expenses: S2I.36 to local
firm for the use of folding chairs: s21.25
to dry goods firm for black cotton and
white kid gloves; $5S0.21 to the Pullman
Car Company, divided as follows: $500 fer
the use of two parlor cars and S2S0.27 for
buffet service In the cars, and $1,332 TO the
Richmond and Danville road for the move
ment of these cars.
Thus. the statesmen are tenderly cared
for during their terms of service and ex-
pensively buried when they die. Who
wouldn't be a Senator, even at $1,000 a
year?

London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
Reference is made in the new Quarter
" Statement of the Palestine Exploration
Fund to q paragraph which appeared re-
Gently in the Daily News on the subject
of that strangely named instrument, the
Jews harp. Why a Jews harp? it has
often been asked, and no satisfactory So
luton. SO far as We are aware, has ever
been afforded The writer II the Pales-
tine Exploration Funds organ thinks the
term may be derived from '.jeu-harpe.' or
toy harp. This suggestion is not new, for
il is to be found in Richardson's Diction-
airy and other works of reference, but il
is clearly lnadn.issible. In French 'jouet"
is a toy, not "jeu," and, moreover, leu"
IS a substantive. and cannot possibly be
employed as an adjective 1t is more
likely that Jews harp is corruption of
word that had a somewhat similar
sound. It is not impossible that 1t is de-
rived from the French word 'iguimba rde,"
which refers to the same instrument, or
possibly from the word unknown, whence
this was derived The difference between
"gui,rbarde' and Jews harp is. after all.
less than that between "ereque" and
bishop" which are both from ''episco-
pus." The tendency to convert unknown
words into words that are known is very
common, and may be illustrated by spar
rcwgrass'' from asparagus.

Consumption Of Alcohol.

From All the Year Round.
In 1885 the consumption of beer In Eng
land was 81 gallons per head; in Scotland
16. and in Ireland 16; the consumption Of
cider in England, o., and none at all IN
the other two countries: the consumption
of spirits in England. O.s; in Scotland. 1.9:
in Ireland, L; the consumption of wine o.5
in England, o.5 in Scotland, and o. in Ire
land. The English drinkers partiality for
beer and the Scotch and the Irish drinkers
preference for spirits is clearly shown.
When these amounts are converted into
their equivalents of alcohol we see that
Ireland consumes least-1.4 gallons per
head, Scotland comes next with 16 and
England heads the list with 2.13 gallons of
alcohol for each man, woman ard child
of the popula ton; this by a curious and
undersigned coincidence, is just under ere
ounce day per head, the quantity which
SO many medical authorities assume can
be safely taken-the physiological quantity
which the country has heard so much Of
late years.
Children seldom touch alcohol, most
women take little, and many men do not
take any at ali; so that the habitual con-
suraers of alcohol, whether they drink to
excess or Eot, get through three or four
times the amount which tine leading med
zeal authorities assert should net be ex-
ceeded

chairmanships to certain Senator's
Every member Of the majority has
committee, and unless the majority is very
large there are enough select committees
left over to provide some of the members
of the minority with chairmanships. The
advantage of this arrangement is that it
gives the Senators clerks at slightly larger
salaries than are paid the clerks of Sena-
tors without committees. The latter are
allowed 81 200 a year. while the lowest
salary for a committee clerk is 81 40, and
from that sum the compensations range
upward to $1,000. The latter sum is paid
to the clerk of the committee on appropria-
tions and is not a cent too much, because
tremendous duties devolve upon this posi-
ton 1t is one of the most important
places under the government.
The committee on corporations within
tho District OF Columbia is one that is
usually given to a member of the minority
and is now so held by Senator Aldrich
