The Word ~JOlIy.~

On the adoption Of the word "jolly'
into the English it had the meaning Of
beautiful, as it has among the French
today. The English dramatist Beau
mont of the sixteenth century speaks
of our first mother as 1.-THE jolly Eve"
In time, however. it came to mean hi
iarious, regardless of physical beauty.
But this latter meaning Is probably
the right one after all, as the word
doubtless comes from Yule (Yu-le), the
pagan Christmas, so to speak, for be 1t
known that what we now observe as
Christmas day was a heather holiday
called Yule, and the Yule festival was
one of noisy demonstration.
YuIe indeed means noise or outcry,
praising in loud voice, chanting, sing
ing, making cutlery in honor Of their
god. From yule, then, to jolly the step
Is short and easy, both meaning revel-
~, rejoicing. Ours is a risen Lord,
theirs the same The words are identi
cal. So, too, in large degree the Christ
mas jollities, praises and those of hea-
then Yule. Into such close relation do
simple words sometimes connect the
present with the past.

In his book on China and the Chi

taken for American humor
There is a Chinese story which tells
how very stingy man took a paltry
sum of money to an artist-payment is
always exacted in advance-and asked
him to paint his portrait. The artist at
once complied with the request, but
when the portrait was finished nothing
was visible save the back of the sit

Great Natures.

Great natures are always generous
They are fountains not only of vitality,
but of bestowal. However great the re-
wards they receive may be, these re-
wards are but fraction of the worth
of the service rendered, and no man
ought to be satisfied, whatever his po-
sftion or work, unless be can feel that
he is giving far more than he is re-
ceivfng, that very large part of what
he does is not returned in money, that
however successful he may be on the
practical side he must still be counted
one of the benefactors of his kind be-
cause Of the generosity of his bestow.

Peach Pits.

The statement has been made that
prussic acid was made from peach
stones. This is altogether a mistake,
for, although under certain conditions
a trace of the main principle of the
deadly poison can be found in peach
stones, there is not sufficient to pro-
duce the acid without other essential
ingredients. Indeed, without the proc
ess OF fermentation there is no evidence
at all of prussic acid in the stones.-Ex-
