The Word "FnGse.,

Where did that very common word
fudge come from. ard what does it
really mean! The appearance of the
word in literature is; in the description
Of the call of Lady Bla-ney and Miss
Carolina Wilhelmila Amelia Skeggs on
the vicar of WakoG2id's household:
But previously | Should have mention
ed the very impolite behavior of Mr..
Burchell, who. during his discourse, sat
with his face turned to the fire and at
the conclusion of every sentence would
cry out FUDGE an expression which
displeased us all and in some measure
dampened the rising spirit of the con-
versation." Does the word come from
the provincial French "fuche" or the
low German "futsch" Or shall we
trace it to the story of 100 quoted by
the elder Disraeli. There was, sir, in
our times one Captain Fudge, who al
ways brought home his owners good
cargo Of lies, so much that now aboard
the ship the sailors, when they hear
great lie told. cry out, You fudge it, :"

Bulgarian Wedding Customs.

A curious wedding custom which ex-
lists in Bulgaria is the shaving of the
bridegroom on the wedding day.
While the barber is engaged upon his
face dancing crowd of boys and girls
surround the bridegroom. When his
hair has been cut, the pieces are care
fully collected by some of the girls, to
be preserved in one Of the brides
chests.
After the barber has finished his
work he receives a small white linen
cloth as a present, and each person
gives him a trifing sum of money.
Then the brio egroom kisses the hand of
each girl, washes his face and dons his
wedding dress, which must be first ac-
curately weighed three times by lad.
These strange customs are said to
date back to pre-Christian days, but
they are stin strictly observed, espe-
cially in country districts.

Fish That canno, Swim.

More than one species of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most sin
gular of which perhaps is the maltha,
q Brazilian fish, whose organs of loco
motion only enable it to crawl or walk
or hop. after the manner of toad, to
which animal this fish to some extent
bears resemblance, and it is provided
with long upturned snout. The an
terror (pectoraD fins OF the MALTA,
which are quite small, are not capable
Of acting on the water, but can only
move backward and forward. Both
these and the ventral and anal fins are
very different from the similar fins in
other fishes and could not serve for
swimming at all.
Other examples of nonswimming
fishes include the sea horse. another
most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of
the sea, which resembles the knight in
set of chessmen, and the startish.

Presidents Day in Iowa.

Ottumwa, Ia, April 29.-President
Roosevelt. in his dash across the state
Of Iowa, was everywhere met by large
and enthusiastic crowds. His speech
making began at a. NJ, when he
made brief stop at Shenandoah, and
his last speech was delivered here
shortly after p. NJ before thousands
of people. His speech here was pre-
coded by short drive through the
city, although his trains was late and
did not arrive until after dark He
spoke on the good work Secretary Will
son has done in the field of agricul-
ture.
The president had as his guests,
Governor Cummins and Secretary
Shaw and for a part of the day Con-
gressmen Hull and Hepburn. He
spent the night here, leaving at 1870
this morning for Keokuk, and will ar
rive at St. Louis this afternoon shortly
after 4 o'clock.
One Of the features of the day was
the large number of school children
that greeted the president. At every
place he stopped and at many places
where the train did not stop the little
people were congregated, waving small
American flags. This feature pleased
the president very much and he re-
ferred to the children several times
during the day. Stops were made at
Shenandoah, Clarinda. Sharpsburg,
Van Antwerp. Osceola, Des Moines,
Oskaloosa and Ottumwa The presi-
dent is bearing the strain of the trip
splendidly and his face has not yet
lost the tan it acquired in his two
weeks in Yellowstone park.

Robins.

American robins build plaster and
dry grass nests in the crotches Of trees,
while the little English bird of the
same name, only about half as big as
Its cousin in America, makes a soft
moss nest on the ground. Its breast is
yellow, red or scarlet, much brighter
than the American bird, and it sings
even more sweetly, but it is of small
value as an insect destroyer. The
American robin, on the other hand,
has much duller, quieter coat, more
extended vocabulary, sounding many
distinct notes Of warning, fear, JOY,
ETC., but not in SO sweet song, and is
an inveterate worm and insect hunter
With only occasional lapses into vege-
tarianism, at strawberry and cherry
ripe time, the American robin is really
one of the most industrious allies the
farmer can have

Thebes ILL.,, April 27.-An unknown
negro, aged about seventeen years,
was lynched by mob of angry farm
ers near the village of Santa Fe for
attempting to assault the ten-year-old
daughter OF Brandon Davis, and this
was followed by a general onslaught
upon a colony of negroes living in
tents, who were engaged in bridge
construction work. The tents were
burned and many negroes were shot.
but SO far as known none were killed.
Hundreds of shots were exchanged,
but no whites were hurt.
Brandon Davis lives about one milo
east of the village. While his
daughter was in the barnyard the
negro accosted her. She ran. but he
seized her and her screams brought
her mother to the rescue. The negro
fled. Officers were notified and were
soon in pursuit. News of the assault
speedily spread among the neighbor-
ing farmers and resulted in an angry
mob starting in search OF the assail-
ant. The negro was meanwhile can
tured by officers and was being
brought to Santa Fee when the mob of
farmers was met. A scrimmage fol-
lowed, during which the farmers Sc
cured the negro. He confessed the
crime, but begged for mercy. Without
word the mob started with the pris-
oner toward the new bridge being con-
structed across the Mississippi, where
he was hanged to an oak tree, without
ceremony or delay. After the BODY
had danSled in the air few moments
1t was riddled with bullets. The off,
GERS endeayored to dispense the mob,
out their efforts were unavailing. A
rush was made for colony of several
hundred negroes living in tents near
the bridge. The negroes saw the mob
coming and opened fire. The whites
tired with effect, as many of the ne
groes were shot down. None of the
mob were injured. The mob pressed
forward under the steady fire until the
negroes turned and fed toward near
by wood, taking their wounded with
them. The mob then fell upon the
tents and burned them After accom-
pllshing general work of destruction
mob dispersed. Extra police were
sworn In and the village is under
heavy guard. Excitement is intense.
Santa Re is village in the extreme
southwestern portion of Illinois.

There was meeting Of the mem
bers Of the creamery association last
week and new life was put into the
organization. There is strong talk of
each one of the share holders taking
an equal share of the bonded indebt-
edness and paying everything out in
cash. The present output would pay
them at least six per cent on the
investment witch is fairly good inter-
est. A year of hard times would
throw it to ten per cent, as more milk
would then be handled. There is a
new feature too, coming to cream
cries which at first seemed nuisance
to the skim stations, but which has
proved a helping factor in some of the
creameries Of the county, and that is
the hand separator. 1t makes the de-
livery more easy and turns out a good
grade of cream. But one of the draw
backs now is to get men to haul the
milk and some routes from which a
good supply of milk could be had are
wholly uncared for as no one can be
employed to haul the milk for them.
At any rate everyone should back
the creamery.
