An Ocenn Hotel.

Some idea of what a big hotel q
transatlantic liner is may be gained
from the following from Ainslie's Mag
azine Everything about the kitchen
of great steamship is on most elab-
crate scale. The range weighs many
tons; the various soup caldrons are
constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves
are baked by the hundred, joints roast
ed by the dozen each In separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands of plates,
pieces OF silver, cups and saucers and
napkins are required and the average
breakage in the galley Of big ship
amounts to barrel Of china every day.
THE amount Of stores required for a
single voyage by great liner is COM
parable only TO the commissariat OF an
army. Here are few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward of one of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for recent trip: Sixteen tons of fresh
beef five tons Of lamb and veal, $500
head of chickens, ducks, geese and
dozens eggs. three tons of sugar, 100
| barrels OF -four. 700 bushels Of pota-
toes, 2ia tons OF butter 1000 quarts Of
milk and 500 gallons Of ice cream. OF
course this is not an exhaustive list,
but it will serve to give an idea Of the
enormous appetite which the store
rooms Of the ocean liner must satisfy"

Cooling water In Nicar.sua.

"l'bey have" said railroad man, -
primitive method OF cooling water In
Mexico and Central America. The
principal is perfectly simple, but there
is certain knack about the thing that
| have never known white man TO
fully acquire.
when n native In one Of the broiling
hot little villages OF interior Nicaragua
wants TO cool some water, she fills q
half gallon earthenware jar about two
thirds full. Parenthetically l say she.
because this is task that requires
more energy than any male Nicara-
guam was ever known TO possess. The
lar is made OF baked clay, and, not be-
ing glazed. is partially porous and soon
becomes moist on the outside. Two
leather straps are firmly attached to
the neck. and, Selling these In her
hands. she begins to rotate the jar
swiftly in the air. The mouth Is wide
open, but centrifugal action keeps the
liquid from dying out.
THE average native woman is frail
and listless in appearance, but the en-
durance which they exhibit at this sort
of calisthenics is marvellous. 1t Is
about the same as swinging Indian
clubs, and am afraid to say how long
have seen them keep 1t up, lest you
might set me down as a prize liar.
Generally the lord and master lies In
one corner Of their jacal,' or hut,
smoking a cigarette and watching the
operation languidly. When the wom-
an thinks the water is sufficiently cool,
she stops with a deXterous twist Of the
wrist and hands him the jar
Usually he takes gulp, growls out

tots for blamed hot and she begins
again, patiently describing pinwheels.

1t is generally accepted as safe
rule that the showings OF the savings
banks denote the condition of the
workingman. In 1894, under a demo
crat tariff, the deposits of the savings
banks decreased S37, lS9,67 as com
pared with those of the proceeding
year. Since the revision of the tariff,
the passage OF the gold standard law
and the consequent returns of good
times, the savings deposits of the
United States have increased S4S2 400
GA. In Michigan alone the savings
deposits have increased S23, 514, 900 in
the last four years, and the four saw
ings banks of Grand Rapids show an
increase in savings deposits OF 81, l6S,

When Poor writing IL Best.

A popular author whose handwriting
was none of the best used to maintain
that it was a matter of principle with
him not to write too well. He declared
that for the use OF printers, good hand
writing was only a snare and a delu-
sion, tending to encourage carelessness
and mistakes on their part. The COM
positors, he asserted, were compelled
to devote their very best care and at.
tention to bad handwriting, with the
result that, when it was deciphered. II
was so fixed in their minds that 1t was
impossible for them to set IL up In
correctly. He therefore declared that
the worst handwriting was the best
for the prlnters.-Truth.

The Name sioux.

The Indian name Sioux, as 1t appears
In such town names as Sioux Falls.
Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is usual
ly pronounced $500, but sometimes,
in the east chiefly that simple pronun-
citation is not known. A committee
man not long ago visited school In
New England, where he heard the pu-
pills say "Si.ox" with complete assur-
ance. Alta favorable opportunity he
quietly spoke TO the teacher OF the
error saying, "You know, it is 500, "
whereupon she asked the attention of
the school and solemnly announced:
"You have all been pronouncing this
word wrong. 1t is not 'Si-ox, but
'Soo-ox. " The committeeman lacked
the courage to pursue the subject
further. Exchange.

Speaking of the origin of the word
"deadhead," Frederick Stanley says:
"In the Museum at Naples | was much
interested in case OF theatrical tick
cts found In a tragic theatre in Pom
peii. They were made variously in
bone, ivory, and metal. You are aware,
perhaps, that to this day the gallery OF
an Italian theatre is called the pigeon
loft. Well, the little tickets for this
part of the auditorium were in the
shape of pigeons, while varying de-
vices were used for other parts OF the
house. What attracted my attention
most curiously, however, was a set OF
diminutive skulls modelled in ivory.
These were used solely by those having
the right of free admission. Now, does
this not suggest the very possible deri-
walton of the term"

oragin of the Months Name.


January was named after the Ro-
man god, Janus: the diety with two
faces, one looking into the past and
the other gazing forward to the
future" writes Clifford Howard, in the
June Ladies' Home Journal. Febru-
airy comes from the Latin word febru-
no, to purify. 1t was customary for the
Romans to observe festivals of puriiica-
tion during that month. March owes
its name to the old God of War.
Among the Saxons this month was
known a. Lenct, meaning spring: and
this is the origin of our word Lent
April was named from the Latin aper-
10, to open, in Specification OF the open
ing OF flowers. The Saxons called the
month Easter. May was named after
the Roman goddess Maia, and June
was so called in honor Of Juno. July
was named in honor of julius Caesar,
and August gets its name from Au-
gustas Caesar. September is from the
Latin septem, seven, this being the
seventh month according to- the old
Roman calendar, October, November
and December also retain the names
by which they were known under the
old calendar, when there were but ten
months In the year-octo, novem and
decem meaning eight, niue and ten.
