Maund and MaundeR.

Neither maund, a basket, nor maunder, to whine or grumble, Is obsolete. Both are still in common use in South Notts and Leicestershire,' at any rate. The former is used only, however, of particu- lar kind of basket used for carrying but ter to market. The basket is nearly square in shape and has two lids, opening from the middle part where the handle is, and 1t is called the "butter mawn" (mand). MauDder is usually heard in such sentences as What are you maun 1ering at2"
 A Northumb brian will say, He's a maundering old fool" when the man of whom he is speaking strings words to- gether in a senseless sort of way somewhat akin to maudling. g.-Notes and Queries.

A euperstItious Fancv.

A young business man went home the other evening with a very fine feather duster for his wife, who is a practical housekeeper, albeit she is also a gradu- ate of Vassar and well up in all the lsms and ologies of the day. It must be remembered that the conversation which ensued was not held in the dark ages, but in the present enlightenment of the nineteenth century.
 "Here's something you'll appreciate. Maud," he said as he began to undo the numerous wrappings. "There was only one,- and 1t came over in two ships"
 'What in the world is it, you dear, him.
 "Guess, sweetheart.
 "Oh, knowl It's a new umbrella for my birthday"
 Nothing of the sort. Shut your eyes. Now open them. Therel''
 An immense duster of magnificent peacock feathers, released from it's sheath of wrappings, was fourished be- fore the young woman's eyes. She gave one look at it, then burst out crying.
 "Oh, you cruel boyl When you know how u-u-unluoky it is to have peacock feathers in the house, and what dread ful trouble it makes to g-g-ive any one 3eathers" sobbed Maud.
 ''Then you don't want this feather dusterH"

The three-y yaar-old boy of J. A. Johnson of Lynn Center, Ill.,, is subject to attacks of croup. MT.

He is in the drug business, a member of the firm oi Johnson Bros., of that place; and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to chose from, and skilled physi- clans ready to respond to his call, but se- lected this remedy to use in his own fam fly at time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for it's cures of crOup.

Al. 1n 4ha no,aa of Rirds.

It is often said by persons who are not well e1Ough acquainted with the science of ornithology to know whether they spcuk the truth or not that the bones If tl4e turkey vulture are hollow air chambers, so constructed as to admit of continuous flight with but slight ef- fort Gil the part of the bird. Of late years it hes become the general belief that the bones of almost all varieties of birds are simply air cylinders and that the lordly turkey vulture and the condor are net better provided for in that par ticuIar than host of smaller birds.
 In order to get some scientific light on the subject, Dr. Crisp dissected 52 species of birds, great and small, but found only 13 in which the wing bones were hollow, and only one, the sparrow hawk, appeared to have the bony air chambers perforated. In 38 others ex- amined by the doctor there were no signs of air in the bones, although in this list thcSe were several birds of long and rapid flight. Dr. Crisp's conclusions are that there are but few birds which have been provided with natural air chambers, and that ill cases where the provision is made it is not of such ma terial benefit as has been generally SUD- posed.-St. Louis Republ

A Novel Advertising Scheme.

An ingenious German bicycle manu- facturer has invented the following de- vice as an advertising scheme: He has published a notice in the daily press, according to which he promises to give high grade machine and a bicycling suit to any one who pays 1 cent spot cash; but, according to the agreement the purchaser must pay for two weeks the double of the amount that had been paid the preceding day. It is but sim pie problem ill arithmetic to discover that at the eEd of two weeks the bicycle and suit will have cost something over $16O.

WhR Women Draaa.

It would be most difficult matter to tell for what object women choose their dresses. Some wiseacres say women dress to excite the envy of the less fortunate others say to attract the attention of men. Harriet Prescott Spofford says, "Women are aotuated only by their perceptions of the beautiful" and this generous senti- ment fits the case of the large majority of women. There are few whose minds are so warped that they can enjoy nothing which does not excite jealousy and envy in the hearts of others. But, taken as a whole, it is undoubtedly true that women dress themselves for the mere love of the beautiful and because they have a koen sense of the fitness of things. A few sen- siblo women-Or are they sensible?-dare to dress for neither man nor woman, but for health and comfort But they are more or less guys and not pleasant to see Women acknowledgedly over 5U sometimes dress to suit themselves.
