A Business Woman.

An engaging and prosperous young
woman has given a number of people
OF Toronto, Ont, cause to remember her
by her taking way of extracting one
dollar each from them, or from some
one of their household. She is de-
scribed as good looking and business
like. She has done thriving trade by
calling at houses of the well to do just
after the mistress has gone oct, pre-
senting plant to the servant and col
lecting one dollar, saying that the mis-
'ress had just bought the plant in the
street and directed her to take it home
and get the money for it. Her strong
point lay in her ability to describe ex-
actly how her customer was gowned-
an easy matter, since she had watched
her leaving the house. The plants she
left were usually either worthless or
stolen.

MORO AS A FORTS NAME.
II Il Used by the Spanish When the
Fort Projects from . Height as
Do q Negroes Lips.
n. Y. Sun

The word MORO. as applied to the
forts in Cuba. has confused many per-
sons who were surprised to learn of the
existence of several of them with this
name. The word is one little used by
Cubans. Its use on the island is con-
fined almost exclusively to the Span
iards. In the dictionary moro" is de-
fined as anything that is round" or "a
prominent overhnnging lip" The Span
iards always describe negro mouth as
"morro" from the projecting lips. The
word is also applied to cat, but in this
sense it is taken TO refer to the purring
of the animal, says the New York Sun.
When applied tothe castles or fcrtresses
in Cuba the word is to be taken in the
same significance il possesses when APP
piled to a Negroes mouth. These de-
lenses are usually percbed on heights.
over which they project just as pro-
truding lips do. The word is always
spelled with two IRIS. The word moro
is said to mean moorish. belonging to
the Moors." In ocular style it is APP
piled to wine not mixed with water. 1t
also means as a noun Moor or native
of Africa. 1t is also used in Cuba to des-
ignnte particular kind ~ horse collar.
