How Dishes Got Their Nam..

The sandwich is called for the Earl
of Sandwich. Mulligatawny is from
an East India word meaning pepper
water. Waffle is from wafel, word
of Teutonic origin, meaning honey
comb. Hominy is from Anruminea,
the North American Indian word for
parched corn. Gooseberry fool is a
corruption of gooseberry foule, milled
or pressed gooseberries. Forcemeat
is corruption of farcemeat from the
French farce, stufing. i. e. meat for
stuffing Succotash is dish bor-
rowed from the Narragansett Indians
and called by them m'sickquatash.
Blanc mango means literally white
food; hence chocolate blanc-mange is
something of misnomer. Charlotte
is corruption of the old English
word charlyt, which means a dish of
custard, and charlotte russo is Rus
sian charlotte. Gumbo is simply okra
soup, gumbo being The name by which
okra is often known in the South.
Chicken gumbo is soup of okra and
chicken. Macaroni is taken from a
Greek derivation which means "the
blessed Dead" in allusion to the an
cient custom of eating it at feasts for
the dead. -Grocers' Review.

But Us it is-yes, I certainly won't
marry you, Miss Maitland; you have
humbled yourself to me unnecessarily.
You cannot know me very we'll when
you imagine that 1 had come to with
draw my support from your uncle at
such time as this. Instead, 1 had
merely come to place the further sum
of $3.50, 900 to my account. The pub
lie knows it already, and the paying
into the bank of such large sum has
restored confidence.
Ere she had time to speak he was
gone.
But the bank was saved! The bank
was saved! A man she had always
despised in her heart had come for
ward and saved it. Why-why had
she never been able before to see the
fine nature which lurked beneath a
somewhat boorish exterior?
The excitement Of that day was fol-
lowed by long illness for her. When
she returned to life once more it was
to find her uncle in better spirits than
she could ever remember him.
"All the doing of Reginald Fairfax,
Elsie, my grill" the old banker said
gleefully. ''He stuck to me right
through, ,child, when everyone else
failed me, and his example saved the
bank"
He had further persuaded old John
Rivers to make partner of his long
trusted manager. He was therefore
in q position at last to ask Elsie's hand
in marriage. When he asked her she
answered, eyes"
Some months after their marriage
Elsie received another visit from her
brother Harold. He was altogether a
different person. He was going tc
America, and had come to make con.
fession to her.
He had sold his knowledge of their
uncle and the ban.i to a certain gang
of thieves for large sum of money.
But he had never known a happy
minute since, and he had never
touched farthing of the ill-gotten
cash. He was going to America now,
to start life in earnest, aud when his
sister asked him where he had found
the necessary funds he told her that
the.donor was,,Reginald Fairfax.

An old friend of General Butler
tells new story of the soldier-law-
yer. According to it, toward the close
of his career, when he ranked well
toward the top of the bar for criminal
cases, Butler wss sent for by pris-
oner charged with murder. Upon
his arrival in the cell of the accused
man a distressing scene was enacted.
The prisoner at once became hysteri-
cal and implored the lawyers assis-
tance. General" he cried, 'I want
you to defend me. You must defend
me. I'm in danger of being hanged,
and 1 know you can get me off if any
body can" care you guilty or are
you innocent?" calmly inquired the
General. ooh, / am innocent, en-
tirely innocent" protested the pris-
oner with tears. ''Then you don't
need me-" quietly responded General
Butler, rising and reaching for his
hat. Innocent men are not hanged

Tailoring Under Difficulties.

Mr.. Knight, the adventurous cor
respondent of the London Times, who
got into Cuba after twenty-four houss'
immersion in the water about three
months ago has just returned from
Havana. Once in the city he was un-
able to get out. One of his most
amusing adventures occurred when
he was imprisoned in Fort MORO, be-
fore his identity was fully established.
He landed ON the coast in rags, and
when he got to the prison asked that
tailor should be sent to him. The
tailor came, but was not admitted to
the cell in which Mr.. Knight was con-
fined. However he measured the war
correspondent through the bars of The
window, and next day returned with
the garments cut and pinned together
for the trying on. This was accom-
plished with some difficulty, Mr..
knight standing up close to the bars
while the tailor did the fitting. The
suit proved to be a remarkably good
fit, and Mr.. Knight wears it with
pride in London. Boston Journal.

Most Efficient Device For the Purpose
81 Ever Invented.
With the evidences OF Asiatic con-
tact supposed to be so strong in Cen
trail America, one might have i'm
agined that so useful device as the
simple chopsticks would have secured
footing. These two sticks. held in
one hand and known in China as
'hasteners or ble.lads," are GER
tainly the most useful, the most eco
nomical, and the most efficient device
for their purposes ever invented by
man. Throughout the vast Asian re-
gion, embracing population of five
hundred million, the chopstick is used
as q substitute for fork, tongs, and
certain forms of tweezers. Even fish,
omelet, and cake are separated with
the chopsticks, and the cook, the
street scavenger, and the watch re-
pairer use this device in the form of
iron, long bamboo, and delicate ivory.
The bamboo chopstick was known in
China 1000 B. c., and shortly after
this date the ivory form was devised.
Their use is one of great antiquity in
Japan, as attested by references to it
In the ancient records of that country.
One may search in vain for the trace
of any object in the nature of a chop
stick in Central OF South America.
Knitting needles Of wood are found in
the work baskets associated with an
cient Peruvian mummies, but the
chopstick has not been found. Curl
Gus pottery rests for the chopsticks
are exhumed in Japan, but even this
enduring testimony of its early use is
yet to be revealed in this country

"What will be the prevailing price
br wool in Montana this season."
sked a Helena Herald reporter of
S. Hobson, the Fergus county
anker and stockman. Mr.. Hobson
aid that it was rather early to
nswer the question with any de-
rec of definiteness but he believed
I've prices would range from about
burteen cents a pound to as high as
Xteen.
"Some of the banner clips will
ring sixteen cents in my opinion"
bid he. "Of course it is a trife
arly to figure on the matter yet.
u account of the heavy rains the
DOL will be freer from various SUBJ
tances that usually make it heavy
md for that reason as we'll as Others
look for better prices than last
ear. AS a rule 1 guess the sheep in
fontana will shear lighter than last
ear. l know that over in our
buntry the sheep have not been
brralled at night for some time on
ccount of the muddy condition OF
ne corrals. This, you know, would
ave a tendency to make the wool
eaner and lighter. Yes, 1 think it
would be safe to say that prices
ill range from fourteen to sixteen
ents. Even that figure may be eX-
eeded. There are no buyers in the
late yet, and SO far as l know
bearing has not commenced, so it is
hther a hard matter to talk wool
rices with any certainty"
Mr.. Hobson said that by the
biddlc of the month he expected
hearing to commence in Fergus
bunty, providing there is no more
hin. In the event of rain, shearing
n an extensive scale would prob
IDLY not commence until well along
bward the latter part of the month.
is yet the roads are in horrible con-
|ition and it would be impossible for
heepmen to take their clips to the
marketing points. About a weeks
unshine will render the roads pass
bile. Mr.. Hobson says that the
bdications point to fine feed and
|ood crops all over the Judith
Basin.
Ex-senator Power, who has just
leturned from the east, and who
overheard the conversation above,
|orroborated what Mr.. Hobson had
hid as to prices. He said that wool
Eas easily worth sixteen cents, but
whether it would bring any more
MAS question that could not be
now. Mr.. Hobson reports
hat there are a number of shearers
n Great Falls, Benton and other
|ailroad points in the northern Mon
Jana ready to go to work as soon as
|eeded. The general plan is for those
|aving their sheep near the railroad
POINTS to shear first. The machines
wherever used would probably be
let at work very soon.
