Odd Words Are Wanted.

Wanted-'rWords, words, words"
Only they must be quaint, curious or
unique. They are wanted by the Amer
ican Dialect Society, whose New York
branch held meeting yesterday after.
noon for the purpose of letting its
wants be known. So, if you happen
to know of any curious verbal speci-
mems, send them to the society at
once. The English Dialect Society ls
just about to publish dictionary con-
tairg all the known dialects spoken on
British soil. 1t is the ambition of the
American to do the same for the dia-
lects of this country. The value of
such complication is threefold. 1t
will, firstly, preserve that which gives
any language its variety and scope.
Secondly, it will give one On opportu-
nifty to perceive for himself how lan-
guage is made, how words conform
themselves to the needs and habits oi
living and invironment-dialect being
the dirocs result of life upon language,
while lie final test is but another proof
that tho fttest survives. Thirdly, dia-
lect study binds together different and
widely separated sections Of country,
giving them a clearer knowledge OF
each other. There is o possible fourth
advantage. 1t is that oil dialect stories
OF whatever locality be taken care Of
by the Dialect society, rather than in
ficted upon long-suffering public. -

How We are known in England.

Tho cablegrams announce that Col
onel Cody, who will be remembered in
London, has been returned as mayor
of Nebraska. No better selection
could have been made. Colonel Cody
was the friend of man named Boone,
who discovered Kentucky in 1869.
After marrying the granddaughter OF
q distinguished gentleman known as
Sitting Bull Frog, Cody was twice
governor of Chicago, and at one time
was mayor of the Arkansas legislature.
He also served in tho Confederate
army under Ben Butler, who SO gal
lantly defended New Orleans against
General Longstreet. The province of
Detroit rewarded him for his military
services by sending him to congress,
where he introduced bill for the re-
lief of the citizens of Buffalo. It was
iu this that he got his name, "Buffalo
Bill" While Mr.. Cody has large

Clothes Made of Peat.

Underwear is now made in Paris of
peat. This sounds like joke, but
there is nothing of the Munchausen
order about it. It has been known for
some time that peat has certain anti.
septic qualities. A dead body which
was buried in peat for over century
was found in q state of perfect preser-
walton. Peat is used in the northern
countries of Europe for surgical band
ages, and the favorable results obtain
ed by the Russian surgeons with peat
bandages have induced the French
army department to use it in the
French hospitals. 1t has also been
found that peat fibers In combination
with other material possess wonderful
absorbing properties. This has led
DR.. Rasurel to use peat fibers for tho
making of underwear in the place Of
flannel. The new material has proven
very effective, absorbing perspiration
and rapidly drying. DR.. Rasurel calls
his fabric q "real hydraulic pump" :"
and pronounces It n excellent pre-
ventive of colds. The new textile is
already largely used in France

Squadron Drills ut Sea.

The smooth clean hulls of the new
cruisers, their glistening steel wcap.
ons, their speed and power, the evil
denccs OF strength, both offensive und
defensive, which they display, their
numerous mechanical and scientific
appliances, all mark them as fully
ABREAST of the development o. this
age of steel, and as worthy to main.
tain the honor Of the flag under its
new and altered conditions. Once
moro the navy of tho United States
seems equal to any demands that
might be made upon it, to be sure
reliance in time of National emergen-
cy, defence in the event OF National
peril.
The ships weigh from four thousand
to ten thousand tons each. They
would be moving at q speed of fifteen
knots or more. Their formation
must be compact and regular, for at
such q speed mere touch of one to
another might be disabling blow,
and if the squadron is scattered by
ships losing distance m alert enemy
may find his opportunity. Then the
admiral's signals must be looked to.
If the vessels change direction, they
should change as one. If the admiral
desires to change his formation or his
front, it must be dono without con-
fusion. A captain of ship in fleet
action has therefore double duty
first, to employ his own weapons to
the best advantage and to endeavor to
avoid those of the enemy; second, to
manmuvre his ship with her consorts,
obeying and supporting his admiral;
md the lnttcr he must do amidst tho
terrible din, confusion, md destruc-
tion of tho former. Quick manWuvr.
ing must therefore become to him u
second nature-something to be done
almost unconsciously us matter of
habit, and this habit can DO acquired
only by long and constant practice.
The highest school of naval war in
time OF peace, that work which solves
rs problems, and is the best guaran-
tee of future success, is man@uvring
vessels in company with others-in
professional language, fleet or squad
ron tactics.
Proficiency in this art has always
accompanied naval supremacy. 1t
was so in the galley period and, much
later, during that long period when
vessels were propelled by sails alone.

whose death occurred within the past

went over to shipyard in Camden to
take look at the old packet ship Ton.

into coal barge. The captain took q
particular interest in the old ship, be-
cause of his having served as mate
aboard her in the carly sixties. While
he stood watching the old vessel, q
total stranger approached him, and
asked: "1sn't your name Julius?"
Tho Captain replied in the affirmative.

Captain. "You don't remember me"

OF GENERAL INTEREST.

Grease may be removed from wool
en- goods by sponging it with strong
cold coffee.
Fine laces may be cleaned by b,ing
packed in wheat flower and allowed to
remain twenty-four hours.
If shirt bosom or any other arti-
Gle has been scorched in ironing, lay
it where the bright sunshine will fall
directly on it.
Tea or chocolate should never be
served with fried foods. Always serve
coffee with fried oysters, fish or lob
sters, also with cheese.
A carpet formed of layers of paper,
ply of felt, and an intermediate fill
ing of cotton, and provided with IN
infold side, producing spring edge, is
late invention.
An agreeable way of treating the
eyes with salt and water is to wink
them in cup that is brimful. The
eyes will bo suffused by simply wink
ing the lashes in the water.
A good tonic for hair is salt water.
Put q teaspoonful of salt in half pint
of water and rub q little on the scalp
every day with o small, soft cloth.

Any woman doing her work may so

Chairs, and high, straight backed set

You cannot make good tea with hard
water, unless you soften it with tiny
pinch of bicarbonate Of soda. Let the
water bc freshly drawn and quickly
boiled, then use at once. The tea will
be ready to drink after en- infusion OF
about seven minutes.
To make mustard plaster for q
child, take one teaspoonful of ground
mustard and three of flour, with
enough water to make q good stiff
pastc. Spread between two cloths.
For an adult, use one quart mustard to
two of flour. Mixed with the white
OF IN egg it will raise blister.
Don't bathe your head ard temples
in cologne, and don't try to scent your
hair that way, because the alcohol in it

The natural oil. Above oil things,
don't keep trying all the new patents
medicines that are advertised to make
the hair grow on the back yard fence,
even. They may do harm, and they
seldom do any good.
The system of washing linen with
petroleum, said to be customary in
parts of Russia, has been introduced
into German military hospital. Fiji
teen grams of petroleum are added to
fifteen liters of water, containing soap
and lyc, and the linen is boiled in the
mixture. The cleansing is much
easier than by usual methods. The
linen suffers less and assumes whitcr
color.
