The rrrst Use Of NaplsIns.

A French writer who evidently was conservative and did not welcome the napkin kindly records with scorn:
 "The napkin Is placed under the chin and fastened in the back, as if one were going to be shaved. A person told me that he wore his that way that he might not soil his beautiful frills."
 It was a difficult matter to tie the two corners in the back, and it Is said that thence originated our expression for straitened circumstances, 'hard to make both ends meet" This custom led to the habit of the table walters of carrying a napkin on the left arm.

The word "charm" is from'the Latin "carmcn." Originally it meant incan. tatlon. To charm person is to be, witch him. In Julius CGsar," act iii., scene 1, "I charm you" seems to mean q adiure you" When we speak now of a charming woman we do not i'm ply that she sings an incantation to us. but there is a pretty figure of speech in our use of the word. We mean that she has the same command over us as if the lncantauon were sung and we were bewitched

the recovery was arrested before IL o'clock
by further slump in Colorado Fuel. This
stock, after scoring a decline of point

pay out of the rents coming into his hands
from the real estate interest now due or
which may become due upon membranes
on the real estate or any part of it from
which he collects the rents, and also to pay
insurance premiums.
Marshal Palmer filed petition on which
the order was based. In the petition he
says that the real estate owned by Thomas
E. Waggaman and now under rental con-
s;StS of about fifty-siX houses, each rented
for sums varying from 81 a month to so
per month. The petitioner states that as
people have been accustomed to pay the

the property, and to some extent CONVEX
SAINT with the tenants and localities of the
property, and is the best person to MAN.
