Origin of Some Common Terms.

dun Is word whose meaning is
now known to every one who understands
the English language A bout the begin
ming of the century "A constable in Eng
land named John Dun became celebrated
as a first class collector of bad accounts.
When others would fail to collect bad
debt, Dun would be sure To get it ont Of
the debtor. 1t soon passed into current
phrase ,hat when a person owed money
and did not pay when asked no would

came common in such eases t. say, GOJ

answered, Yes, Mr. Chairman, but the
committee is unable To get inside on &C

up the word and used it,

that the good people had left dinner TO

to come back in due time to do the pork

the table, dished up the, TO him, extreme

City and Country Cats.

An observer has noted that there exist
many points Of difference between country
and city cats. The country cats, he de-
clares, are larger anu heavier than those
of the city, no reference being made in this
comparison to such civic cats as might
come under the head of pampered pets, "
but only to plain cats the cats of the
back yard and the housetop This supe-
rior weight of the country cat the observer
says, is easily attributable to the diet of
small field animals and birds which it en-
joys. But there are other peculiarities Of
difference, he proceeds, which are not SO
easily attributable to diet, For instance,
the color of the country cat is generally
either gray or tortoise shell, the cummoner
color being gray On the other hand, OBJ
serves the cat expert, the prepOnderating
color among city cats is black.
In the next place the color of the eyes in
city and country cats is found to be Vary
different, the latter leaning largely to gray
and green, while the city cats eyes are
mostly yellow and having far more glitter
In them than have their country cousins.
In the matter of tails, too, there is diff
ference, the city cats tail being much lon
ger and carried more nearly ON level
with the back than that of the country
cat. The country cats paws are much
hatter, broader and softer than the town
cats, the pads of the former being ike
velvet, and those of the latter like rubber
Altogether, between the big barreled
gray, light eyed, velvet footed country cat,
slipping noiselessly through the young
wheat stalks, and the scrawny, long tailed,
yellow eyed city cat pattering down an
alleyway like flying shadow, there are
such differences as will, says the observer,
result in time in the formation of two dis.
tinct species-Feis rusticus and Felis ur
banis. New York sun.

The Telegrapher's Ear.

The sense Of hearing is developed in the
modern telegraph operator to an abnormal
degree owing to his use of the typewriter
in his work In former years, when he
copied his messages with pen or pencil, his
ears were accustomed to only one Kind Of
sound-that of the telegraph instrument
while in these days of the typewriter ho
must distinguish between the sharp click
of the ticker and the almost similar rattle
of the copying machine. According to an
old operator the sense Of hearing soon
becomes so developed that the distinction
Is easily made. With little experience in
the use of the typewriter along with the
telegraph instrument the operator ceases
to notice any similarity of the sounds

The National Capital,

1t is not generally known, says the
Philadelphia Record, but it is fact of
history nevertheless that Bristol township,
lying on the east side of Gcrmantuw II,
had very narrow escape from being Sc
lected as the site of the capital of the
United States. 1t was very small matter
that turned the choice toward Maryland
and Virginia. So positive were some
members of congress that the capital was
going to be located near Germantown that
they purchased real estate there, not, of
course, as matter Of speculation, but
simply to be near at hand when the re
moval from Philadelphia to Bristol took
place. When the vote of the commission
ers was taken, there was tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District of Co
lumbia Washington cast the deciding
vote, and Bristol township was left out in
the cold. "

A Clever Solicitor,

Mr.. Benjamin James was solicitor.
He was clever man, and he was also a
clever solicitor When he had case in
hand, he either lost it or else he won it.
Sometimes it was the one way and
sometimes the other.
But it was usually the former.
AS there were two possibilities to the
conclusion Of any action, so he had two
forms of announcing the results to his
clients.
If he was successful, he wrote:
Mr., j. b. Brown (Re Brown V. Smith)
SIR am pleased to inform you that have
today won this action. Yours faithfully,
BLNJA4lIS JAMES.
If, on tho other hand, he lost the case
he wrote:
Mr.. j. b. Smith (Hc Smith V. Brown:
Sill regret to inform you that you have
today lost this action. Yours faithfully,
BENJAMIN JAMES.

SELECTED STORY
A Surer Token.

Breezes Of spring, all earth TO life awaking,
Birds swiftly soaring through the sunny sky,
The butterfly its lonely prison breaking
The seed upspringng which had seemed to de-
Tyres such as these awoid of hope have spoken,
Have shed CLEAN Of light around the tomb;
But weary hearts longed for u surer token,
A clearer way to dis-ipate its gloom.
And this was granted See the Lord ascending
on crimson clouds of evening calmly borne,
with hands outstretched, and looks Of love still
bending
on his hereaved ones who no longer mourn.

81 am the life, he who believes in me
Shall never die The souls my call obeyug
Soon where ! am forevermore shall he"
Glory of glorissl light from heaven appearing,
The mystery Of life and death is plain;
Now to the grave we can descend unfearing
H. sure and certain hope to rise again

Soft breathe them, o air.

And sweet roses bright,
Gay Lent-lilies blended
With pure lilies white.

The full veins along;
And pour in full measure,

Structure of Gold Nuggets.

The structure of gold nuggets was the
subject of paper recently read before the
New South Wales Royal society. Nuggets
upon being cut through and polished and
then etched by chlorine water were found
TO exhibit well marked crystalline struc-
ture closely resembling that shown by
most metallic meteorites, except that In
the nuggets the crystals are more or less
square in section and show faces which
belong to the octahedron cube

the cause and the business the effect.
These cities had public spirited men,
and they attracted the kind of business
which is located in them-that is all.
And what is the right kind of a citi-
zen? He is the man who does not look
across the continent for an investment,
but spends his money at home and en-
courages home enterprises. The right
kind of citizen does not grumble about
high taxes, because he has sense

session of two years ago they were few
and far between, as is the testimony OF
some who were here during the inter
reguum. A gentleman who has been
for years identified with the democratic
party frankly admitted to the writer
that the entire personnel of the capital
through senate, assembly and different
administrative departments, is very
much higher, better and more business
like than during the period of night
mare through which the state has just
passed, but from the results of which
it is far from being recovered.
The wave Of municipal reform has
reached up to this citadel of partisan
politics, and seems TO threaten the
yigOr of existence of the two prominent
political parties in local elections Mass
meetings have been held and a regular
organization started, but the weather
has been too intensely cold to cause the
public meetings to assume the size and
interest that they probably will later
on. The Woman's suffrage party are
preparing for an onslaught upon the
stronghold of the tyrant man. They
will make a strong endeavor to induce
their oppressors to yield up portion
Of his unjustly withheld power. How
much they will accomplish it is difficult
to determine, but they have for one of
their prominent ladies here one who is
confident and assured of the righteous
ness Of her cause, and has much Of the
tact and courage which are the requi-
sites of good and successful leadership.
