SLANG IN THE MAKING.
Many Of the Up-to-Date Phrases Cam
not he Traced 10 Their
Origin.

The study of slang in the making
has always been hampered by the fact
that no Investigator ever sees the in
yentor at his work. In some college
students room, behind the screens OF
a drinking hall, or among the rousta-
bouts of the levee the words and high
ly colored phrases taken up by the
world so readily have probably first
been altered. Where lived the man
who coined word "chump?" asks the
New York Evening Post. Who first
thought of saying to his rival: go
way back and sit down?" No one
seems to know, and the inquirer has
to be contented with inferior speci-
mems for study. One of these has
just come to light in Chicago. 1t is
not one of the elusive sort, full OF
fancy and inspiring suggestions. But
it has the merit of having been de-
signed, as it were, before our eyes,
like the wheat cakes which the white
capped cook makes in the window Of
dainty restaurant. IT is the word
"seg," which is applied to the young
women now attending the University
of Chicago. Since coeducation has
been abolished it is obviously inac-
curate to call them goods. At the same
time, the west does not take up the
less mplimentary terms which the
young men in some eastern colleges
apply to their feminine fellow stu
dents. The new word is certainly as
euphonious as the old (more so, il any
thing, because it has no hiatus), it is
highly descriptive and not in the least
uncomplimentary.

HATS OF coRNHUsKs.
style Of Headgear That VIII Rival
the Costly Panama the Conn
Ing summer.

Corn husks during the present sea-
son have been bought up for the pur-
pose of utilizing them in the manufac-
ture of new style of hat which may
become both fashionable and popular
next summer, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post
The material is cheap. In fact, it is
usually wasted. Properly cured corn
husks are tough and may be folded
without cracking. Dampened, they
may be made to assume any desired
shape.
The process Of working corn husks
into hats is novel, somewhat intricate,
and is protected by patent, 1t is said
that samples already turned out are
artistic as well as light and strong.
An element which enters significant
ly into the construction of the hat is
the natural shape of the husks, which
taper in width from base to tip. When
split the parts maintain this config-
uration, as they parallel the fiber.
This tapering of all the parts has
been an important feature in the man
ufacture of the hat. The brim and top
of the hat are formed by series OF
layers of corn husks. To impart a
novel appearance, the outer end of
some of these layers are pointed. Con-
siderable ingenuity has been displayed
in the entire construction Of the hat
even the band is made of corn husks-
and It is asserted that the result is
graceful and attractive, and that,
though it may be constructed econom-
ically to be sold at popular prices,
more expensive brands, requiring ex-
ceptional skill in the manufacture, will
be turned out to meet the demand for
hats at fancy prices.

MODERN CARTHAGE.
Where stood the Famous Ancient
City the Stalking Camel Now
Draws American PIows.

For the first time in many centuries
some thing modern has appeared on the
site of the ancient city of Carthage.
Here, where once fiourished the arts of
war and peace, is vast, lonely plain.
OF the streets through which the con-
quering Hannibal marched in triumph
nothing now remains but the shade
less wheat-felds. Popular Mechanics
describes the stalking camel plodding
along drawing the modern American
plow or cultiyator.
The soil is as rich as it was on the
day when the Phoenicians founded the
city, and the American and his indus
tries have found their way to the his
toric spot where the Romans wrought
such devastation in their conquests.
Americans, in charge of native work
men, may be seen directing the use of
the modern farming implements in
harvesting or tilling the soil. These
machines are a source of wonder to the
natives. who for generations employed
only the crudest of farm implements.
The place is on the northern coast of
Africa. about ten miles from the pres
ent city of Tunis Americans find the
market there for their inventions a
lucrative one.

THE REToRT COURTEOUS.
slow in Countering on
Famous wit.

George Ade is an expert at badinage,
but in Chicago one day little messen-
ger boy got the better of him, says
the New York Tribune.
Having only few minutes for
luncheon, Mr.. AIDE had gone to a cheap
place, and was sitting on a stool before
marble counter when the messenger
boy entered, took place beside the
humorist, and ordered piece of apple
pie. As he ate the pie the fact became
evident that his hands were dirty.
There was on his plate a piece of
cheese piece of very yellow, hard
cheese, cut with mathematical preci-
sion. so that it resembled a cake Of
soap Mr. AIDE pointed to it and said:
Here, boy, take that and GO wash
your hands with it,
The boy answered: "You take it. and
60 shave yourself
There was no possible rejoinder. Tor

NEVER VICTIMS OF CUPID.
There Are More Bachelors Than Old
Maids in the Census Emu
meratiOn.

It is estimated that there are now
in the United States 2,500,000 more
single men of marriageable age than
there are single women, the official fig
ures being as follows: Unmarried men,
10,44S, 1853; unmarried girls and women,
7,573,s19. The male population Of the
United States, through the excess of
male immigration and the higher male
birth rate, is more than 1,000,0 900 in ex-
cess of the female. The span of life is
on the average, longer for woman
than for a man and the marriageable
age for women is several years younger
than the average for men. As a con-
sequence of this the numberof widows
is very largely in excess of the number
of widowers, the figures being 2,700,000
and 100000 respectively, says the San
Francisco Argonaut.
There are more divorced women who
have not remarked than there are
divorced men, and for all these reasons
the number of the single men of mar
riageable age is larger than the num-
Der of single women. In New York it
is 100000, in Pennsylvania 100000, in
Ohio 100000 in Illinois 100000, in Cali
fornia 100000, in Texas 100000 and in
Kansas $4,000. In Massachusetts the
number of unmarried men exceeds the
number of unmarried women by only
few thousand. In Utah there are 35,-
900 unmarried men and $4,000 unmar-
ried women Of marriageable age. In
Washington, the capital, the number
of single men is $4,000 and of single
women about the same.

ORIGIN OF "GREENHoRN."
Ago to Designate Deer with
AiIing AntIers.

The democratic cloakroom of the
senate held a congenial company, of
whom Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, was the
center. There were scintillations and
pithy "reminiscences, the conversation
eventually turning to former Senator
Turpie, of Indiana. All agreed that
he was man of erudition, and some
one ventured that Mr.. Turpie, now re-
siding among his own people in the
Hoosier state, is one of the best in
formed in bellies lettres of any man
who ever came to the senate, says the
Washington Post.
II recall" interposed Senator Vest,
"an incident along that line, which
demonstrates what marvel Mr.. Tur-
pie is in his fund of information.
was once in a company where ques-
tion arose as to the origin of the term
'greenhorn.' The question went
around until it reached Mr.. Turpie.
"sOh, yes observed Mr.. Turpie,
readily. 1T is a term that was used
many years ago in hunting. The word
was used of deer which at certain sea-
sons of the year have soft and green
horns, and resort to muddy depressions
in the landscape, where they can
plunge those horns into the mud and
water to cool them.
"'There the deer became easy prey
for the hunters, and accordingly, be-
came known as 'greenhorns.' From
that we have the use of the word as

it." he added. iowa cannot be judged
by its record previous to the Drake
game. In the Coe, Grinnell and normal
games the mud of the field was knee
deep. Although practically undeveloped,
the team had the ball in the territory of
the opposition all the time, and with a
dry field would have scored touch
down after touchdown. But with a
field that would have mired team of
oxen and a slippery ball Iowa was
helpless. The opposition and mud
would hold or the ball would be lost
on tumble and then kicked back to
midfield.
Not till the Drake game did Iowa
show it's strength. Measured up
against a line that averaged 210 pounds,
tackle to tackle, and team that av-
eraged over 100 pounds, DR.. Chalmers
men showed surprising form. Drake
has never had weak team and our
victory in this game warrants Iowa in
entertaining the belief that she will
win against the Gophers.
The Iowa team of today is far SUI
perior to the 1902 eleven. Five men
good enough for DR.. Knipe could not
a gutter on the eleven and all will
fight to the last minute"
In preparation for it's victory of the
game the Daily Iowan has dug up an
ancient cartoon owned by Mr. Nc
Cutcheon, manager at Iowa in '99, 1900
and 1901 The picture was made three
years ago, but as yet no appropriate
occasion has been found to make use
