WORLDS FAIR SLANG.
81. Louis VIII Now Set the Pace n ID Q
Coming of New Words and
Phrases.

One of the enduring effects Of the
Chicago fair in 1913 was the amount Of
slang originated there. The Philadel-
phia centennial is indissolubly con-
nected in the minds Of many pers ons
with the disappearance OF Charley
Ross, and from that exhibition dates,
practically, the host of jokes that have
flooded magazines and enlivencd the
stage on the slothfulncss of Philadel-
phia and Philadelphians, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Now, st. Louis, in anticipation Of the
opening Of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
hibition, has been furnishing up some
of the recent slang Of the Mississippi
valley, and some of the items may be
obtained from advance sheets, SO to
speak.
What Is called, In Chicago n "dead
one" or sleeper" is in St. Louis n

expression "the real thing" for pref
ty girl is "a swell doll" A "crown

nickel, and mugs landing" is the

st. Ions has a large southern and
southwestern population. The south

the west very generally as the starting

In Said tn Lurk In High

A contemporary which is devoted to
the discussion Of hygienic subjects
makes somewhat alarming sugges

backed chairs are responsible for a
great many Of the ills to which woman
are prone.
Neuralgia, backache, headaches, de

traced to troubles engendered inter

to continually assume on these chairs.
The suggestion is put forth, there

rugs on the floor, adapting these, as
fancy dictated, to our own IDEAS OF
comfort.

FISH COME WHEN CALLED.
Curious Species Brought by New
York Naturalist to This Coun-
try from Asia.

Otto Eggeling, q naturalist Of New
York, has finally succeeded in import
ing from Asiathe first specimens Of the
curious fish known as the anabes ever
brought to this country, says the
Times.
The special popularity of the anabes,
which inhabits the streams of interior
India, Is that it travels for miles on
land in search OF water when the
streams are dried up.
Lovers of aquariums have for years
endeavored to secure specimens of this
fish, but without success, as they al
ways died in transit, especially when
in the vicinity of the Suez canal, ow-
ing to the intense heat.
Mr.. Eggeling conceived the idea Of
pla cling the fish in earthenware yesselS
containing sufficient quantity of
water-soakcd earth, and two months
ago he corresponded with friends in
India, who secured several fine speci-
mems and shipped them. The fish ar
rived last week, and when the earthen-
ware pots were opened, the earth
therein was found perfectly dry and
the fish were in a lfeless state. Several
hours after being placed in water, how
ever, they came to life, and are now as
well as ever.
These fish are beautifully marked,
and when the light strikes them at GER
tain angles their whole bodies assume
all the colors of the rainbow. They av-
erage about two and one-half inches in
length, and, unlike other fish, breathe
through the lungs Instead of the gils,
thus enabling them to live on land.
1t is said that the anabcs can be
tanned as any domestic animal, and
come when called to, eating food out
Of ones hand. These fish have what
might be called "crawlers" on the low
er part Of their bodies, thus enabling
them to travel over land.

THE WEDDING INVITATION.
How q Man Fee eds When He Gets One
and His Efforts Mt Present
Buying.

A wedding invitation is practically
an admission ticket, costing $50, to the
church service; reception at the house
afterward, extra; cards to the at
home, more extra, says the Insurance
Press.
When a man gets an Invitation now
adays he feels as he does when he has
been served with a subpoena. He sput-
+ers about the idiocy of marriage in
general, and wonders why in thunder,
or somewhere else where thunder is
unknown, those little fools didn't just
stand up and get married and get it
over with. Then when he Gains down
he is inveigled into making an appoint
ment with his wife at some jewelers..
There he is met with bewildering ar
ray of silver trowels, meat saws, and
miniature pitchforks, which his
learned wife explains to him are fish
knives, lettuce servers, and berry
forks, respectively.
Then, as his eyes wander about the
store, he spies golden ball, perforated
with fancy holes, and he ventures the
facetious remark to his wife that they
might take time By the forelock and
send that baby's rattle. Which is met
by the chilling rejoinder that "that" is
a tea ball, and it is just the very thing.
And so the man hands over the neces-
sary and his wife directs where the
golden tea ball shall be sent.
The feelings of a strong, healthy
man being required to attach his card
to a dinky tea ball and send it to
young couple as mark of his good
wishes fail either of expression or de-
scription.

10000 napkins, 1900 towels, $500

There was a brisk trade at the local

chief demand being for the staples. cod
haddock and hake. There is always
demand for mackerel, salmon and
halibut. for mackerel especially, and it
doesn't make much difference about
the price. People who want these fish,
want them, and expect to pay for them.
so dealers are safe in ordering them al
ways. The hake is one of the finest
fish in the market, either fresh or corn

cheaper than the others.

Edgar A. Wyman of Milbridge, vet
cran Gamer, has the following plan Tor
saving the Holsters, which he outlines
IN a recent letter:
"Rcferring to Ithe annual report OF
the commissioners of fisheries and
game of Massachusetts, and their COM
mentS upon the destruction of that
valuable food product, the lobster, and
the call for a meeting of the fish COM
missionerS of the States and Provinces,
whose Atlantic waters are the lobster S
habitat, to give the matter considera-
ton, | beg to submit a remedy for the
prevention of the determination Of this
delicious sheIlfish, namely:-to prohibit
the sale and destruction of any female
lobster The same Legislature that
makes it unlawful to kill any mother
moose in Maine can make it unlawful
to kill any mother lobster There is i
law prohibiting the destruction of any
female lobster with eggs attached.
What is the difference whether you kill
a lobster after the eggs have been de-
posted upon the outside of the shell or
a short time before, when in the roe
stage they are within the body of the
person familiar with this valuable
crustacean can readily determine the
sex. If all the females were left icr
breeding, there would be no fear of con-
tinued diminution of the lobsters.
Il was formerly interested in the
canning of Holsters. a business which
has not been carried on in Maine since
1895, and had much to do with the
enactment of laws for the regulation of
the fisheries. so I claim some practical
knowledge of the matter. The party
who "killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs" has long been held up to
ridiculc. This equally applies to the
destruction of female Holsters and will
result as disastrousy.
"A time will soon come when the
lovers of the delectable "broiled live
lobster" will have to fOrego this luxury,
unless some radical change is made in
the fishery laws. While the enactment
of such a law would for time lessen
the supply, it has been aptly recorded
that Half a loaf is better than no
bread and it seems that the greedy
determination of this excellent food
product should be checked"
