No Tobacco.

Some 90 years ago entered aSsmall
alehouse about two miles beyondFarle-
ton Crag, in Westmorland, to get re-
freshment after walk from Lancaster.
In the course of my short stay 1 asked
the mistress of the place for some "to
bacco," pronouncing the word very dis
tinctly. She stared and said, "We don't
sell it." I reminded her that this asser--
ton was contradicted by notice over
the portal, but she seemed still more
puzzled-perhaps she had never read and
could not read the notice-saying she did
not know the article in question. Some
further remark, now forgotten, in which
I mentioned the word .'smoke,'' caused
her face to brighten, and she exclaimed,
ooh. now I know what you want, but
we call it 'baccy' herep'
This incident is brought to my mind
by the following words in letter from
ex-Protector Cromwell to his daughter
Elizabeth published in the English
Historical Review); adam Bodden,
Bacconist in George Yard. Lumber
Lombard Street. 80 1t may be conjec-
tured that tobacco underwent decapi-
tation as early as its derivative, but the
"H. E. Do contains no example of
" 'baccy'' or '' 'bacco'' anterior in date
to 1S33s-Notes and Queries.

They Are Remarkable Creations of RuEa
hes, FIounces, PIaitings and Lace.
The petticoat must be of silk, and OF
the kind that rustles with every step
the fair lady takes. The petticoat which
promises to be the thing for all gowns
fashioned with the revised Spanish
dounce is made almost sheathllke
around the hips and in front, with very
little fullness at the back. 1t is finished
with flounce narrow in the front, be-
ginning never above the knees, some
times below, and gradually growing
deeper and deeper toward the back, I'M
til when it reaches the middle of the
back of the petticoat it is as high as to
where the ordinary placket comes. This
graduated founce is very, very full. 1t
must measure fully five yards and IS
trimmed with lace three or four inches
wide. Under this wide rutfie is set an
other ruff1e, which is also very full and
also trimmed with lace.
Another entirely new model IS made
as tight as posi- BILE over the hips and as
frou frou as possible around the bottom.
The upper part is made very narrow,
,, and all the fullness at the bottom Is
gained by the fashion in which the skirt
is cut. It is cut so as to form points,
which are outlined by heavy cordlngs,
and from these points, following thelr
contour, hangs a very full rutf1e, which
in it's turn is trimmed with cluster
of narrow ruffies, which are full and

When the Police Became Active.

Cyclists are most forgiving and easy
going class. No better proof of this
statement could be forthcoming than
the repetition of an outrage that recent
~ occurred near Leighton Buzzard
England. While riding along at night
various unoffending wheelmen ran into
a rope stretched across the road. Pitch
ing headlong, they fell into the arms
of designing highwaymen and were
plundered almost before they were
aware of what was going on. A dozen
cases of this sort happened before any
thing but cyclist was the victim. Then
a horse was thrown, and the police be-
came instantly active. Two masked men
were caught and convicted of the rob
berries. This only goes to show how in.
frequently the aid of the law is invoked
in behalf of the pedal pushers. New

A LOW VOICE.
why 1t Is an Excellent Thing In Women.
Speech and Accent.

Why 1t Is an Excellent Thing In Women.
Speech and Accent.
American women have rather resent
ed the charge so frequently made against
them that they are unpleasantly loud
voiced in comparison with their Euro
pean sisters. But unfortunately there is
considerable truth in the charge. Says
writer in a southern exchange:
If women needed half the good advice
they read, there would by this time
have been a marked improvement in
their voices, but, like the Mercedes, who
forever dipped up water in their sleeves,
the average woman takes in at one ear
and lets out at the other all those little
admonitions which she does not wish to
harken unto, and it is not pleasant to be
SO often told that we haven't charming
voices, like our English cousins.
The truth is not always palatable,
but when it is the truth about some
thing quite in our power to remedy we
ought surely to be willing to mend our
ways. A woman who is conscious that
she speaks in high pitched, unnatural
key in common conversation must also
be conscious that she could do otherwise
if she chose. By lowering the pitch a
tone or two, persistently checking the
impulse to break bounds into a shrill
staccato register that ends in a verita-
BILE screech, you may go on improving
from day to day till your friends begin
to compliment you on your mellow
tones, and men especially will be quick
to appreciate the charm of that Glow,
| sweet voice, an excellent thing in
woman"
Along with grammatical correctness
of speech why not instill the Importance
| of equally cultivating the medium
through which verbal euphony is trans
| mitted?
If this is neglected in the schools, it
should surely not be SO in the home, and
| the child, after all, is certain to catch
its mothers way Of talking, be that
strident and crude or delightfully."- Gull
tivated in tone and modified in those
bristling RS that multiply themselves
in the mouths of westerners like burs
| about the chestnut.

Bag Wigs and Patches Promised.

1t is whispered that powdering the
hair is to come back for full dress and
that that means the return before long
of the white wig. Many women consid-
er this very becoming. Such softening
about the face allows the liberal use of
powder and even of rouge. Brilliancy
of dress may follow. Patches are in the
game procession, and, oh, how lovely
This is a hint of interest to all women,
for even to plain folk not likely to go to
even an ordinary ball and not in the
least likely to ever put themselves into
bag wig and patches it is exciting to
know that such fashion is likely to be
revived. If it is revived for full dress,
it will be extended into all formal wear,
and that will mean that the picture hat
will become moro and more picture
and that the brocade and satin season
will be indefinitely prolonged. -Phila-

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.

Algiers is modified spelling of the
Arabic Al Jez air, meaning 1.-The penin-
sula.''
Natal received its name from Vasco da
CANA because he discovered it on the feast
of the nativity.
Egypt expresses the Hebrew for "tho
land of oppression" alluding to the bond
age of the Israelites.
Portugal was the Portus Galli9 of the
Romans, literally 1.-THE gate of Gaul," as
approached from the Mediterranean and
the Atlantic.
Switzerland is an Anglicized form of
the native Schweitz, the name of the three
forest cantons, whose people asserted their
Independence of Austria and afterward
applied to the whole country.
The most southern point of South
America was called Cape Hoorn, or, ac
cording to the English, Cape Horn, by
Schonten, who first rounded it in 1916,
after Hoorn, his native place, in north
Holland.
The cape of Good Hope, discovered by
Bartholomew de Diaz in 1887, was so
named (Cabo de Bon Esperance) by John
II, king of Portugal, who, finding that
Diaz had reached the extremity of Africa
regarded it favorable augury for fu-
ture maritime enterprises.
Spain is the English of Hispania, a
designation founded upon the Punic
Span, a rabbit, owing the number of wild
rabbits found in this peninsula by the
Carthaginians. The ancient name of the
country was Iberia, so styled from the
Iberi, tribe who settled in the vicinity
of the river EbrO.
Patagonia was so styled by Magellan in

Won Their Fortunes.

A little less than two years ago rich
grain merchant of Odessa died, leaving
q fortune of 1000, 900 rubles to his
three daughters, under peculiar condi-
tions. They were only to inherit the
money on condition that they became
servants, washerwomen or farm work
ers for 10 months. The time has just
passed. and the young women have
come into their fortune. Two Of them
were chambermaids and the third a
girl of all work in Odessa houses. They
did not have much trouble in securing
situations. In the course of their servi-
tude the two younger daughters receiy-
ed each more than 500 proposals of mar
riage, and the eldest $50. They declin-
ed all, and now assert that they will
continue to live in single blessedness.

set on overlapping one another Under
these pointed ruffies, sewed to the body
of the skirt, are more ruffies, set ON in
clusters, also overlapping.
The extreme mode calls for petticoats
which match in color the lining of the
garment. When this expensive plan is
out of the question, handsome black
silk petticoat is advised for street wear
and white silk one for house wear.
For the woman who wants profuse-
ly trimmed petticoat there is variety
galore. Some are fashioned in long van
dykes, the fullness accordion plated,
with three or five rows of lace insertion
and yards and yards of lace edging
around the bottom. This style is usually
made up in some delicate evening shade
for ball costumes, explains the New
York Herald, which illustrates two pet
ticoats of latest designs.

From New England.

Nowhere, not even in the South, is
there fuller recognition of the fact
that the South is destined to become
the great cotton manufacturing
region of the world, than there is in
New England.
A few years ago such prediction
would have been secuted in the North
and few persons could have been
found to accept it in the South.
But the unrivalled natural advan-
tages of this section have begun to
tell and their ultimate effect is easy
to discern.
Recently one of the great cotton
manufacturing companies of Nav
England determined to build a mill
in the South with the view of trans
ferring gradually its entire business
to this section.
