The Word starvation"

The word starvation" was introduce
ed into the English language by its
coiner, Henry Dundas. afterward Wis
count Melville. 1t was originally used
by him in a speech in parliament on
the American debate in 1715 and was
Immediately caught up and applied to
himself in a political nickname, so that
lie was known thenceforward as "Star.
vation" Dundas."
81 shall not" such was his declara.
ton, wait for the advent of starva-
ton from Edinburgh to settle my judg.
ment."
Before the time of Dundas 'starve,'
starving" starved and ~"starveling'
were in use, but hunger or famine rep
resented the state of starvation.
Although this word has now an es
tablished place in our vocabulary, il
was at first vigorously opposed BY
many, and on just grounds, as Of by
brid formation. The root 'starve" i:
old English, while the ending, "ation,'

Deem Sen Fish.

Great forests Of seaweeds cover the
bottom Of the ocean and reach from
the greatest depths to the surface. In
these forests there is life more diversi-
fed than in the primeval forests Of the
tropics. Spiders and wormlike animals
of enormous size, infusoria, crabs, sea
urchins, shells, c~rustaceans, starfsh,
turtles and millions of other living
things of all kinds find their food in the
equally varied plant life of the deep
sea-.
A curious circumstance connected
with deep sea fish is that none of these
has ever been brought up alive. Re
cent deep sea explorations reveal the
fact that the ocean still contains i'm
measurable treasures which await dc
velopment and utilization by human
inventiveness. The most fertile acre
of cultivated land is a sterile desert
compared with one acre Of the surface
Of the deep sea bottom.

Leechcs as Weather Prophets.

A common leech makes a good ba-
rometer. Fill q tumbler half full Of wa
ter, put the leech into it and tie a piece
Of muslin over the top to keep the leech
from getting out. All you have to dc
to find out what sort Of weather we
are going to have is to watch the little
creature. For example, when the day
is to be fine the leech will remain at
the bottom of the glass, coiled up in
spiral shape and quite motionless. II
rain may be expected, it will creep to
the top of the glass and stay there I'M
til If clears off. If the leech twists it
self and is very restless, there is going
to be a windstorm. If it keeps out OF
the water for several days, look out FOL
a thunderstorm. The indications fol
frosty weather are the same as for lin
and for snow the same as for rain.-

A Pack OF +

Ine ordinary playing cards Of today
are derived from a stick game sup
posed to have originated in this coun-
Try. Fifty small sticks are a pack. The
game" was originally for the player
TO divide the sticks rapidly with his
Two hands, the opponent guessing
which hand held the larger number.
Owners of sticks spent rainy days in
carving them. The Asiatics borrowed
the game and carved more elaborate
counters out of ivory. Those with diff
ferent carvings grew to have different
values. Arranging them in groups Of
Tours made it necessary to add two to
the original number. Then thin slabs
OF ivory began to be used.
For centuries after this all playing
cards were hand painted, at first on
ivory or metal, afterward on card
board. The pictures, at first legendary
heroes and ladies', gradually became the
fixed, wood faced caricatures we now
know, and these, coming back to Amer
lea in their westward journey around
the world, find our Pacific coast Indi
ans still Juggling the same kind Of
sticks their forefathers used. New

The usual-and the wrong way-of
treating wet boots is to take them off
and put them on the fender or the radi-
ator to dry. This method spoils the
boots. Too much heat cracks and hard
ems leather.
Another wrong way is to stand them
on their soles anywhere to dry.
The proper way is to place the boots.
soles upward, near enough to the fire
to dry slowly and properly, but not t.
steam during the drying.
The soles should always be turned
upward, even when the boots are only
a little wet, for this way enables the
air to reach the wettest part Of the
leather first.-American Queen.
