GAMM0NToWN's WINDFALL
Everyone Busy Gathering the Flour
From the burned Pier.

An army of Germantown folk-men
women and children spent good por-
tion of yesterday clearing the Gap of the
thousands of sacks and barrels Of Hour
that fell out of the burned pier, of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company when
the corrugated iron side of the structure
fell in the water during Sundays FIRE.
The water forms a crust on the sacked
-four several inches thick that protects
the interior and some families have
enough of this kind of -four to las. them
for months. But many say that even the
best of this -four smells of smoke and
some tastes of it.
However, not many sacks or barrels
escaped to deep water. Many used boats
to catch the floating sacks and barrels.
Others on the two shores used long poles
with hooks at the end haul them into
shore. The captains and boatmen of the
numerous lighters stocked their larders-
One captain slowed away fifty large
sacks that were merely scorched.

Origin of tho Term PhfIistfnes.
About the year 1880, at Jena, where
the west gate of the city is remark
able for four images of monkey heads,
cut in stone at each corner of the gate,
quarrel arose betwedR the students
of the university and the citizens, dur
ing which the gownsmen called the
gate watchmen monkey watehmen." !"
TO avenge this insult the watchmen
killed one of the students, whose fu-
neral sermon was preached from the
text "The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson" From that time the towns
people were called by the students
'Philistines," and this use of the word
spread to other places
In another explanation, given as
early as 1777 by Adelung, reference is
made to the Balistarii, or crossbow-
men, who were called in Hungary
Philistaei, and to the municipal SOL
diers of Vienna, who had the nickname
Philisters as early as the seventeenth
century.
The word was brought into promi-
nent notice in England by Matthew
Arnold, who appears to have adopted 1t
from Heine. BY Philistine he meant
"a strong, logged, unenIightened op-l
ponent, like Goliath, of the chosen peo-
pie, Of the children Of sweetness and
light
