'Tom was the name given to 4 lordly
young crow" says Florence NJ. Kings
ley in The Ladies' Home Journal.
Beauty was snow white pigeon of
about the crows age, with whom he
was reared. Just how it came about,
we never knew. but we soon discovered
that Beauty regularly acted as maid of
all work to Tom. She fetched and car
ried morsels of food at his imperious
command. and one of her unvarying
duties was the preening of her mas
ter's feathers. Tom was very much of
a dandy. His coal black plumage al
ways appeared perfectly dressed and
shining but the arduous labor of his!

every day by the humble and affection

The Opal super.tition.

There is one superstition of wide
range and influence that is directed
against one of the most beautiful OBJ
jects in nature. the opal. A man in my
town failed in business, and what do
you think he did? Took his opal ring
into the yard and smashed 1t to pieces
with hammer! He ascribed his bank
ruptcy to that opal. and he intended
neither to suffer such misfortune again
nor to allow any other one to do so by
inherting or buying that i'll starred
property.
One of the most amusing instances of
trust in wrong things is reported
from New York. where man took an
opal to a jeweler and asked him to sell
it, as he had had nothing but bad luck
since he owned it, his business ven
lures having failed, his children having
suffered Illness and the old scratch
having been to pay generally. The
jeweler found the gem to have been an
imitation. Its falsity must have been
obvious to everybody except the vic
tim. because the opal is the stone that
has never been even passably initiated.

BATH OF THE ORANGE.

Ihe Fruit Needs Much Grooming Be-
fore 1t Is Ready For Market.
Fresh from the tree an orange is still
very much alive, with the oil cells ex-
banded and the mystery of growth not
yet suspended. Cut off from the sap
supply, a change takes place. The skin
draws closer to the pulp and gives off
moisture that would cause sweating if
the fruit were packed at once. But
first these dust stained travellers must
have bath.

land of the good old bushel basket. the
newcomers are dumped into a long,
narrow tank of water at one end of

bristles. The wheel revolves so that
the lower edge works in connection
with another set of brushes in small
er tank below. and the oranges, after
bobbing about in the big tank, pass be-
tween the wet brushes and come out
bright and clean.
This washer is a neat machine and
does away with the more primitive yet
picturesque method of hand washing.
At some of the smaller packing
houses may still be seen groups of wo-
men. sometimes white, sometimes
brown skinned. each with a tub of wa
ter and brush, scrubbing busily away
at the yellow piles that never seem to
grow less till the last hour of the day.

There must be a brushing too. And

FiIthiest Place In the World.

Port-au-Prince, the capital, is-by
consent of all who have had opportuni-
ty of comparing it with other cities
the filthiest place in the world. The
town was laid out by the French, and
the streets are wide. 1t is only their
great width that makes them passa-
BILE, for the roadway before his dwell
ing is every householder's rubbish
shoot, and slab sided pigs and starveling
dogs perform all the sanitary offices
for the town of ort-auPrince save in
the rainy season, when heavier storm
than usual comes to flush the open
drains. In consequence the populace
live in an atmosphere of combined
cesspool and ash pit, which by all the
laws of hygiene should produce chronic
plague.
The free and independent negro leads
the life that most nearly approaches
his ideal. They have a proverb in the
country that 'only white men, black
women and asses work." and there is
truth in it, The black man lies around
all day sleeping in the sun. His utmost
effort is to play dice or watch cock
fight, but sleep is his favorite occupa-
ton, and he can do that better than
anything else. In the country dis
tricts the old plantations have long
since slipped back into the luXuriant
overgrowth of the forest. In town
any trading done is by the women and
by foreigners. Undisturbed by the
white man, to whom he is insolent, the
town bred negro is pacific enough. The
only exertion demanded of him is to
avoid the attentions of the police

Lighting Up the Coliseum.

The Romans have the hideous habit
of periodically lighting the Coliseum
during the tourist season with Bengal
lights and, what is more amazing still,
usually succeed in making a financial
success of it, although no one was ever
known to go twice.
There is the additional abomination
in these days of a big brass band and
a chorus of 100 voices in an invocation
to the Flavian amphitheater. The eff
feet is tremendous, but somewhat stun
ming to those who are accustomed to
their Coliseum empty and flooded
with peaceful moonlight. where pic
lures from the past rise with the clear
ness of second sight, and no sound is
heard but ones own breathing or the
song of the nightingale. Contrast with
such a scene the red, blue and yellow
Bengal lights. the smoke, the confu-
sion. the hundred shrieking throa is
and the clang of the brazen ins!ru-
ments! Imagination shrinks and curses
the Roman of today with whom such
a thing is possible. But is it his fault ?
AS l said before. it is a great financial
success. and the Italians certainly 90
not patronize it. Query. Who does?

Origin of ewing"

Several reasons have been assigned
to account for the word "Whig," uni
versally known to all the English
speaking people. By some the word is
supposed to be contraction of lon
ger one, "whiggamore," which in some
parts of England and Scotland, espe-
cially Scotland, signifies a drover or
herder.
1t was in 1879 that the word first
became common in the British isles,
when the struggle was in progress be-
tween the peasantry and the aristoc-
racy to have or not to have the bill
passed by parliament to exclude the
Duke of York from the line of success
sion. All who were opposed to placing
the duke in the line of succession were
derisively called "whiggamores," or
"drovers," just as the city dude of to-
day speakers of the 'grangers," the
"grays," the "chin whiskers" and the
"hayseeders."
But Scotch tradition gives altogether
different reason for the existence of
the word. II is this: During the early
religious wars in Scotland the weakest
of the factions used the words I'VE
Hope In Cod as motto. The initials
of these words were placed on their
banners thus, "W. II. l. c." and soon
all the followers of that clan were CIV
en- the title of "Whig," which was aft
erward attached as party nickname.

How piccadil1y Was Named.

It's curious how the names of towns
and streets come from something that
has been the fashion of the day. Who
knows where the word "Piccadilly"
originated from. the name Of that won
derful street of which it is written
that some make love and some make
poetry in Piccadiu?" The street was
built by tailor named Higgins, whose
fortune was made in a kind of collar
called Piccadel or Pickadill or Picca-
dilley, which was worn by all the beaus
of the day. Of course it is not meant
that the street as it stands today was
built by him, but he erected a few
houses to which he gave the name the
street now bears.

GUNS FOR OLD GLORY.
The First Foreign Salute Given t
the American Flag.


The little Ranger ran slowly between
the frowning French frigates, looking
as warlike as they. Her men swarmed
like bees into the rigging, and her col
ors ran up to salute the flag of his most
Christian majesty of France, and she
fired one by one her salute of IS guns,
says Sarah Orne Jewett in The Allan
tic.
There was a moment of suspense.
The wind was very light now. The
powder smoke drifted away. and the
tapping sails sounded loud overhead.
Would the admiral answer back or
would he treat this bold challenge like
a handkerchief waved at him from a
pleasure boat? Some of the officers on
the Ranger looked incredulous. but
Paul Jones still held his letter in his
hand. There was a puff of white
smoke, and the great guns OF the
French flagship began to shake the air
one, two, three, four. five. six. seven.
eight, nine-and then were still save
for their echoes from the low hills
about Carnac and the great Druid
Mount of st. Michael.
Henry Gardner, you may tell the
men that this was the salute of the
king of France to our republic and the
first high honor to our flag" said the
captain proudly to his steersman. but
they were all huZzaing now along the
Rangers decks, that little ship whose
name shall never be forgotten while
her country lives.
The captain lifted his hat and stood
looking up at the flag.
I'VE hardly know what this day
means, gentlemen" he said soberly to
his officers, who came about him. II
believe we are at the christening of the
greatest nation that was ever born into
the world. The day shall come when
America, republic though she may be,
will salute no foreign flag without re-
ceiving gun for gunp'

One cannot safely assume ia these
days that there is any region in which
such and such a journal is not read.
Recently a certain humorist needed a
rest and went and stopped in a cottage
in a remote village by the sea. His
sitting room opened on the kitchen,
where his landlady. a woman widely
esteemed as person of great acumen
and a maker of phrases, was wont to
receive the neighbors. He listened and
put both landlady and neighbors into
some amusing sketches which were
promptly published in London maya
zine. A month or two went by. Then
one afternoon he came back to the cot
tage to meet and cover before an in
dignant matron, who told him, among
other things. that he had one hour in
which to pack his traps and quit the
village. She was not going to have an
eavesdropper in her house. and she
added a significant hint to the effect
that the people of the village were of
the same opinion and might be betray
ed into an attempt to give forcible
demonstration Of their views.-LondoD
