Origin Of the Word "HOOdIum."

The old proof reader was holding
forth upon the question of Topographic
cal errors and their occasional influence
on posterity. "The word 'hoodlum' is
an instance of this" he said, as he
knocked the ashes out of his pipe.
"Out in San Francisco twenty-five
years ago there was a notorious char
acter named Muldoon, who was the
leader of a gang of young rutians.
They were a terror to the community,
and about as tough a lot of citizens as
YOU could find on the coast. A re-
porter who had been assigned to a sto-
nv in which he had figured, undertook
to coin a word designating the gang.
He reversed the name of the leader,
and referred to them as "noodlums.'
The compositor mistook the m for an
H. and as hoodlums the word passed
the proof reader. And now hood
lums' is a recognized word, and will
probably survive. "-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

Do Men Learn by Experience 2

thinner, the great German historian,
says they do not. Any man who has
watched the course of the farmers
of the United States for the past
twenty years will readily see that
they do not. Last spring it was wet
and backward, and we urged several Of
the dairymen in this vicinity to put in
a crop of peas and oats, late sown, as a
soiling crop, against the usual drouth
the latter part of August and Septem-
Der. They had been " burned up" as
the saying goes, several times, had lost
hundreds of dollars, each one of them,
in milk shrinkage in past seasons.
The cost in money and labor of putting
in the peas and oats was trifling. This
was their excuse for not doing this
wise thing:
"We are going to have a wet season.
Pasture will be plentiful. We will not
need the soiling crop"
They had needed it sorely for several
seasons. They had no reason to think
they could tell what the season was 60
ing to be. But in face of their expe-
rience, as to previous seasons, in face
of the great loss that had burned holes
in their pockets, in face of the advan-
tage a good soiling would be to them,
they put it all aside for a mere SUPPOSE
ton, a guess that it was going to be a
wet season. Some of u more for
tunate dairymen in this vicinity are
feeding their ensilage, not 80 much for
the profit of the milk it will afford now,
as to prevent the COWS from shrinking
to such an extent that they cannot be
brought back. There is a good deal in
that idea. But do men learn from ex-
perience2-Hoard's Dairyman.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by al infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give n hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

FOR THE BLIND.
Department for the Sightless at Con.
gressiOnal Library.

Department for the Sfghtless at Con-
gressiOnal Library.
One OF the most attractive features and
one Of the most interesting from any stand
point, at the new Congressional Library
is the department for the blind, in the
northwest corner, ground floor, of the build
ing. 1t is unique in character and is pa
tronized daily by large number of the
people for whom 1t is intended. It is in
charge of Miss Eta Griffin, who is excel
lently we'll fitted for the position, as she
knows how to deal with the blind. The
daily readings draw not only those for
whom they are designed, but outsiders as
well.
Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the negro poet,
who is connected with the library, read
there Friday for an hour to a large
audience, composed of blind persons and
others. Mr. John Russell Young, the Ii
brarian, was among the number of inter
ested hearers A number of selections
from his Lyrics of Lowly Life" were Sc
lected by the poet for the reading
Mrs. John Russell Young read this after
noon and large number of other en-
gagements have been secured. There will
be no reading Thanksgiving day, as it
is holiday. although the library will be
open for inspection. The hours of the read
ing are from 2:3O to $3.50 every afternoon.

9 RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS.
Department of Agriculture Produces
Fine Chrysanthemums.

tEOOuCG0
Fine Chrysanthemums.
Interesting experiments have been con-
Quoted lately in the hot houses under the
division Of vegetable physiology and pa
thology Of the Department of Agriculture
in regard to the production Of chrysanthe-
NUNS. Some splendid specimens have been
produced under the supervision Of E. c.
Rittue and p. H. Dorset of the division.
The handsome fan-shaped chrysanthe-
mum plant which was raised by them
was recently presented to Mrs. Mckinley.
1t was a magnificent specimen, measuring
about seven feet from tip to tip. with a
band of red across the top. It had more
than hundred blooms on it, some of them
almost half a foot in diameter.
A splendid specimen which is now in
the hot house is of the silver cloud" va
riety. 1t has 81 full blooms on it, some
Of them measuring five inches across. The
plant is most symmetrical in shape, is
about four feet in height and was raised
from cutting an inch long stuck in a
nc wer pot last February. The flower pot
In which 1t rests is only foot in diameter,
which is considered unusually small for
such large plant. 1t is perfectly round.
In tie hot house is shown a chrysanthe-
mum plant suffering with the disease
known as rust 1t was inoculated only
a Few dsys ago with some of the rust
which had been rubbed off of a plant af-
hicted with that disease. It's leaves al
ready show every symptom Of the all
ment.
The specimens which have been raised
have been carefully fertilized twice a week
with liquid fertilizer Of purely vegetable
matter. and the experiment in this direc-
ton. as shown by the plants. was remark
sbly successful. The fan-shaped specimen
presented Mrs. Mckinley was Of the
Georg w. Childs variety.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
While agitating for a publication of the
water which is served us from the Poto-
mac can you not also bring your influence
to bear upon the water department so as
to protect long-suffering public from the
larger things which swim through the
water pipes? 1 paid SO some time ago to
have an eel taken out of the pipe in front
of my house. Bacteria are probably more
dangerous, ana the authorities may have
some trouble in locating them, but the cells
that plug up a three-inch pipe might be
filtered out at the reservoir with a common
fish net. Please say a word on the subject
