Why Some Glasses Are Called Tumblers.
Every day we drink out of n tu,nbler.
Why is the large glass that holds our
milk and water so called? Years ago
Professor Max Mailer was giving a
luncheon at All Souls college, Oxford.
TO the Princess Alice, the wife of the
Grand Duke Of Hesse- Darmstadt and the
second daughter of Queen Victoria.
There were not a dozen guests besides
the princess and her husband, and a
very agreeable luncheon was had. with
talk Oh all kinds Of interesting subjects.
But what excited the curiosity of all
strangers present was a set of little
round bowls of silver, about the size of
large orange. They were brought
round filled to the brim with the famous
ale brewed in the college. These. we
are told, were tumblers, and we were
speedily shown how they came by their
nanes-a fitting lesson for the guests
of a philologist. When enc Of these lit
tie bowls was empty, it was placed up
ON the table month downward. Instant
", SO perfect was its balance, it few
back to its proper position as il asking
to be filed again. No matter how it
was treated-'rundled along the floors,
balanced carefully Oh its side, dropped
suddenly upon the soft, thick carpet-up
| it rolled again and settled itself with o
| few gentle shakiDgs and swayings into
| its place, like one of those india rubber
, tumbling dolls babies delight in.
This, then, was the origin Of our word
| tumbler, at first made Of silver, as are
| all these All Souls tumblers. Then,
when glass became common, the round
glasses that stood on a fat base super
seeded the exGuisitely balanced silver
spheres and stole their names SO success
fully that you have to go to.All Souls

They had both stopped in the middle

"As if any Of them would be up"
said Lesley, locking disdainfully up at
the Army and Navy club, which they
were then passing. Doesn't it smell
of sleep? And, after all, don't see

their starved hearts and do them good,

that they won't work; they'll knock up
over tasks that you or would do with

"That is where our training comes

make their lives happier. Oh, RoDny,

sounds. At intervals the harmonica was heard, the players blowing away for dear life and adding to tho horrible discords, It was as if pandemonium itself were let loose. The scene was indescribable, and was a sacrilege to the night, whose soft breezes, fresh from the blue Caribbean, brought to us the fragrance of tropical flowers, while the bright stars looked down, pityingly, as it were, upon the Wretched creatures below. Toward morning the tumult increased as each individual sang to slut himself, or lndulged in loud, gut tural cachinations l shall never for get the horrors of that night, when those grinning savages danced and shouted and sang in the same breath.
 Now 1t was that Queen Anne proved herself heroic Frightened as she was at her mistress entreaty she ventured out to eXpostulate with the dead wo- mans husband But little satisfaction resulted therefrom. She was told to tell de missus dat de white folks is neber willin' to hab black pussons injoy deirselfs."
 With the rosy morning light the sing CTS departed Daylight brought cour- age, and no well-conducted "duppy' would come home when the sun was high in the heavens. The next night the scene was repeated; more horrible, if possible, than before. The morning following the police were appealed to for protection The sergeant in charge, a gigantic black man, after much inde- cision, told his subordinates ito rest every pusson who is a 'sturber ob de peace" One night plenty long huff for dewake" he added.
 The negroes in Jamaica are, as in our own country, exceedingly superstitious.

Philadelphia, May 1.-The property of the Pennsylvania Steel company, which went into the hands of receivers on April 21, 1893, was transferred by the reorganization committee to the security holders at the annual meeting of the stockholders this afternoon. The reassignment of the property and the transactions of the necessary require ments will occupy some time and it is not likely that formal possession will be taken for some weeks. The report of Effingham B. Morris, chairman of the reorganization committee, which body has been acting as directors of the company since it's organization stated that the sales and deliveries during 1895 amounted to S6,679,9 956.
