HIS NEAREST NEIGHBOR.
The One Who Made Trouble Wher-
ever He Moved.

An excellent and pertinent suggestion was
that once made by an old Quaker lady to a
grumbling man. The man had formerly
lived near the Quakeress, and from his boy.
hood had been in the habit of finding fault
with his neighbors, their ways of living,
their speech and ideas
He moved to another town and on his first
return to his birthplace called on his
Quaker friend, who had to listen to cata-
logue of the faults of his new neighbors. She
spoke as soothingly as possible, but her
words produced no effect.
In the course of five years the mans bust
ness led him to make second move, and on
his next visit to his native town the old
Quakeress was again favored with call.
How does thee like thy new home, Will
liam?" she asked.
''Oh, the towns all well enough" said the
man, in his usual complaining tone, but the
people are queer. | can't get along with
them. They're not what | call good neigh.
bors. | wish to the land that ! could find
somebody that was the kind to live near. 1t
seems strange, with living in three places,
I've had bad luck in my neighbors every
time"
William" said the old Quakeress, look
ing straight across at the moody face oppo-
site, II think the trouble may be partly
that wherever thee moves, one of the neigh
bors move with thee. Why not leave him
behind the next time, or at least ask other
folks opinion of him before thee moves
again" -Iouth's Companion.

Origin of Cookery Terms.

The French are nation. of cooks,
and it is from them many of our cook
cry terms are obtained. Thus force
meat comes from the French farce,
meaning stuffing. Blanc-mange is white
food; so to speak of a chocolate blanc
mango is really an absurdity. Char
lotte russo is a funny combination;
charlotte comes from an old English
word, charlet, meaning custard; thus
charlotte russo is simply Russian Gus

A Cleveland landlord has one of his
houses tenanted by family that is out of all
proportions to the size of the dwelling. In
fact, he strongly suspects that there are at
least two distinct families in the house, and
he is quite anxious to get rid of them. He
doesn't want to turn them out, and he has
been hoping they would take the frequent
hints he gives them and seek some other 10
cation. Lately they have complained of g
leaky roof. but the landlord has determined
to make no repairs until they leave.
A few days ago the head of the household
waited on him.
"Well, sor." he said, chat roof has been
leakin' agin."
'Has IT." asked the landlord
"Yis, sor. 1t leaks right over me sisters

marnin' she came out o the room a-cryin'

"Well, why in Tophet," inquired the
landlord, didn't she move the bed?"
"'Twasn't that, sor," hastily remarked
the tenant. "'Twasn't that"
"What allied her, them"
