Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de-
rived from other languages. protocol"
has long since lost its original meaning.
1t is derived from the Greek "protos, ~
meaning first, and "kollan, meaning
glue, and meant originally sheet glued
in front of a manuscript, bearing the
writer's name and other particulars.
From this the meaning evolved into
that of a rough draft of document and
was so used by the Romans, who called
it "protocolium. The definition of the
word as used in modern diplomacy is
given as a rough draft of any document
or a document preliminary to some
transaction. 1t likewise is defined as "a
diplomatic document or minute of pro-
ceeding signed by friendly powers in
order TO secure certain diplomatic ends
by peaceful means"

Rubber Bands.

Rubber bands have supplanted twino
to a great extent in the last few years, -
observed a salesman in drug store as
he slipped Il band around 4 cent pack
age of sodium bicarbonate. up to ten
years ago rubber bands We're seldom
seen outside of courthouse or law
yer's office, and their use was confined
almost exclusively to the filing of court
documents and papers. Now you find
them everywhere. Bands are used On
all small packages i'll drug stores, and
they have become an important factor
in the grocery business. They answer
the same purposes as Irvine, and are adj
justed much easier.
cit may not be generally known that
a rubber band is the best tooth cleaner
known. 1t can be forced between the
teeth, no matter how close together,
and it removes accommodations that can
not be reached with a toothbrush. Yes,
the rubber band has come to stay.
don't know TO what extent it has hurt
the Irvine industry, but it must be con-
siderable. ''-Philadelphia Record.

A family tree is good thing to have,
and that the descendants of the pilgrim
fathers, of the Puritan preachers, Of
the Revolutionary sires, the colonial
DANES, should come to the front every
little while and impress the fact of
their lineage upon people is rather
pleasing than otherwise. 1t adds GER
tain repose to the rush of everyday life.
1t may, however, be carried too far.
Apparently it is carried too far in New
York, where in certain circles it
amounts almost TO a monomania. Wo-
men to whom one is introduced cannot
chat for five minutes without leading
the subject to ancestors, and if the
stranger never happened to have had
any the result is most embarrassing,
even distressing; hence those persons
given over to conversing entirely on the
family tree, etc, should be cautioned to
become milder advocates of the neces-
sity of long line of ancestors, for they
are fast forming class which is OBJ
noxious to intelligent, self respecting
human belngs.-New York Times.

''qhc crew We're the first to get back
their wits. QUicting the Italians was the
worst job. We had TO drive them back by
force into their hunks and hold them
there. Then the saloon passengers, seeing
that the boat was riding along all right,
went to their cabins, all except two, who
did not go to bed again that night.
Tho captain had seen the thing, but
not as did. He had been awakened by
the rain and was watching the storm
through the port, so that his sight was
blurred by the rain.
''All the passengers and crew agreed in
this-that rs the aerolitc fell they were
thrown ont of their hunks by = resound-

licved, TO physical i'll health While his
dynamite was distrusted he did the most
reckless things with it, digging quaint
u Of the dangerous substance, for in
stance, out Of n cask with knife; yet
..he was particularly susceptible to head
aches caused by bringing nitroglycerin
into contact with the skin; they affected
him so violently that he was often Obliged
to lie down on the ground in the mine or
quarry in which he was experimenting"
He was a man of vast reading and much
poetic feeling, being, moreover, so fastidi-
Gus that he never could find n wife whom
he thought I'D to his intellectual level
He was deeply disappointed by not be-
ing made u fellow OF the Royal society,
and had. we gather. in his nature an ele-
ment of whimsicaiiry which his great
wealth, not all made from dynamite, for
he was at Baku n great petroleum dealer,
enabled him 70 crafty. Being very nerv-

he had made an arrangement with one Of
the largest picture dealers in Paris by
which hc could select any pictures he liked
and have them hung on his walls. AS

up her mind to land her fish as soon as
a favorable chance presented itself.
And the opportunity came at the
Smythingtons' little soiree, when the

How Miniatures Are Destroyed.

no" arc besEFOyeu.
The chief agent in the destruction Of
miniature is perhaps sunlight. The
direct rays Of the sun should never be
permitted TO fall upon the portrait, and
especially should it be remembered that
the glass COR crystaD covers to tho
miniatures, and the glass of the cabinet
in which they are kept, all help to in
crease the powers of the sunlight and
to give to its feeblest1 avs ability to ex-
ercise destructive See. Very many
lovely old miniatures have been prac-
tically ruined by light.
Hung upon a wall or in case, they
are exposed to full sunlight, and the
carnations quickly fade, the value of
all the colors is reduced and whitened
and the paler and more delicate tints
vanish altogether. If the .exigencies of
space demand that a wall opposite
window (the worst position in a room
for miniatures) must be used, then a
blind or curtain should be supplied to
the cabinet containing the treasures,
and as often as possible the window OPP
posite the cabinet should be shrouded,
so as to prevent the light falling upon
the cabinet and its contents. -"Portrait

Whenever any Of our mercantile estao-

the proprietor, Mr.. G. ". Kendall with adj
mireble tact and ingenuity, has given to

the trading public can have their wants
supplied with the knowledge that Kendall
is a man who courts competition. Every
BODY knows the fact that Kendall IS cut
price merchant and his career n this town
has been remarkable; coming here stran-
ger he has, by judicious advertising, built
Up Il business that others have not reached
in a Quarter OF century. Kendall adrer-
.ises as a matter of business and not as q
matter OF accommodation to the newspaper.
His business instincts have directed HIM
TO learn that the easiest way to the peoples
purses IS through the county paper, he
therefore spends his money IN printers
ink and keeps up with the promises he
makes.
It's not necessary for Us to mention the
stock kept at the New York Racket, only to
say that il is heavier than last year and his
sales!ad!es, Misses Ingram, Avant and Har.
