Emu de Cologne

How many of those who use eau de
cologne from Cologne daily, one might
almost say hourly, are aware of the
fact that it was invented by an Italian
and not by a son Of the Fatherland,
which gives it's name?
Almost 200 years ago an Italian
priest, Giovan Maria Farina. eked out
his modest fortune by selling perfum-
cry, little art objects and so on at Do
modossola. In 1902, happening to be
in Cologne and making use of some Of
the finest vegetable productions Of the
country, he discovered the secret of
the miraculous perfume which has
never been revealed to this day except
to his descendants. He soon devoted
himself to the sale of his invention,
which was so satisfactory that. need
ing help in it's manufacture, he had his
brother and nephew join hina from
Italy.
The increasing fame Of the water
brought increasing difficulties OF rival
ry. New firms who stole his name, his
trademarks. stamps and SO ON sprang
up like mushrooms, but they could not
steal his secret.

Smoking a NarghiSe.

1.-THE narghile is the best instrument
to smoke tobacco through, provided you
use it in the right way" said a man
who knows. Most people use it in the
wrong way. They load it with tobacco
and light up with match as though
it was pipe they We're smoking. This
is incorrect, and the narghile, so
abused, has an abominable taste and
odor. The right way to use the mar
CHILE is first to dip your tobacco in
water, squeeze the water out and place
the soaked, damp mass in the pipe
bowl. Then you take dump of burn
ing charcoal and set it on the top of
the wet tobacco and begin to smoke
The tobacco itself, you see, is not really
alight; it's the charcoal that's alight; it
is the burning charcoal that eats the
tobacco up. This is the secret of mar
CHILE smoking. And a narghile, smoked
properly, is delicious-makes, in fact,
the very best smoke ia the world."-

4 Lucky Meeting.

Some years ago young LONDON So
1icitor, in order to win the girl OF his
choice, carried out task which all
but those of unusual courage would
Lave shirked. The lady rejected his
attentions on the ground that she
would only marry the man who under
took to find her brother, who had left
home some years previously, and re-
store him to her mother.
AS the runaway had been last heard
Of in 4 South American copper mine,
the solicitor had 10 important cleWs
TO aid him in his work. Nevertheless,
pockcting q photograph, he gave up
his business and set out only to re-
turn to England i'll despair when two
years were over and he had come to
the end of his resources without sue
cess. But just as he was leaving q
London terminus a man passed him in
the street who bore small reSem-
blance to the photograph, and he in
quired his name. Judge Of his aston
ishment when the stranger replied that
he was the individual in question, and
the reunion of the family was followed
shortly afterward by the admittance

ErenISS Of Language.

A peculiar kind of laundering known
as folk etymology" is responsible for
some of the queerest freaks of Ian
guage An easy example will make
this clear, says Harper's Magazine.
Our American word "carryalP' for q
kind of vehicle is not a compound of
carry" and "all," but a slight distor-
ton of the French "carriOle," q dimin-
utive car. The change was made i'll
obedience to the universal tendency to
assimilate the unknown to the known,
to make words mean something by as
sOciating them with others which they
resemble in sound. Often there is no
chronological relation between the
words associated, as when sparrow
grass is made out Of asparagus. This
particular corruption was once in such
good cOllOquial use that Walker, the
photographer, wrote, "SparrOWgrass is
so general that asparagus has an air
Of stiffness and pedantry."
