The Word "Boodlc. !"

Late American dictionaries acknowl-
edge doodle as word Dr. Murray
quotes from an American paper Of
1884, "'Sinews of war soap and
other synonyms for campaign Doodle
are familiar" There, however, 'boo-
die" is explained as meaning only
"stock in trade" kinship with the
Dutch 'boedel," mans stock Of bust
ness or household goods, being highly
probable. Perhaps Doodle meaning
a crowd or pack, as in the phrase, 'the
whole Doodle Tor caboodle) of them,"
is the same word. In that sense
"buddle" is found in the early seven

a coincidence that there is an old
Scotch word "boddle" or "bodle,"
meaning twopenny piece, and de-

A SNOW EXPERIMENT.
Frozen vnpor From the Action OF
3ss4s Sulphide of Carbon.

,Su1pn10e. OF C0rDOn.
Two solid bodies, one yellow, sui
sphur, the .other black, carbon, unite
under certain circumstances to form a
colorless liquid called sulphide of car
bon, which must be handled with much
precaution on account of it's great ex-
plosive property. The soluble property
of sulphide of carbon renders it valua-
BILE to take spots off garments. If
its odor is more disagreeable than that
of benZine or turpentine, it has at least
the advantage of being dispelled quick
ly in consequence of the prompt evap-
grafton of the liquid. There is nothing
equal to it to take off spots of paint on
clothes. 1t does not do it, however,
without creating great fear in persons
who use it for the first time, for they
see on the very place where, to their
great pleasure, the paint had disap-
peared a large white spot, the nature Of
which is hard for them to define, and
the more they brush the more unsightly
and the larger that white spot grows.
Is then the garment lost? No, for
fortunately after few moments the
spot melts away never to show again.
1t was snow and nothing more. The
sulphide of carbon in evaporating takes
heat from the cloth and surrounding
air, and the result of that is sudden
lowering of temperature sufficient to
freeze the vapor of the atmosphere.
Without operating on your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill small vial with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame or heated stove.
Then close tie bottle With cork stop
per through which you have previously
bored small hole. In this hole place
a piece of blotting paper made up into
a small roll. The paper must reach to
the bottom OF the bottle and about an
inch above the cork; Within . :. en-
minutes you will see the outside OF this
of which gradually increases. The
| liquid has risen through the pores OF
the paper as the oil Of lamp through
/, the wick. When it gets to the open all
it evaporates, and water contained in
! the surrounding atmosphere, being
brought to a temperature below 30 de
grees, has been frozen. If you divide
| the paper outside of the bottle into sew
eral pieces you obtain flowers and most
charming effects. You may make the
experiment in summer and in the full
| rays of the sun. The result will be
obtained then more promptly, evapora

First stoEies Made In Pennsylvania

THE first stogie was made by hand
in the wilds of Pennsylvania" said
tobacco man of Allegheny City.
The story which they tell once in
awhile in West Virginia and which
must be true is that the long cheroots
derived their name from the town Of
Conestoga, Pa. An emigranl train of
wagons was finding its way across the
state, and Il supply of tobacco was
found at Conestoga.
THE emigrants got lot of it, but
failed to get any pipes and so could
not smoke unless they made pipes
themselves. Necessity is the mother
of invention. You may have heard
that remark before. Anyhow one of
the men rolled leaf of the tobacco in
his hand and wrapped it with another
leaf. That was the first stogie. 9th
ers followed his example, and they all
called the article that they made a
stoga' in honor of the town at which
the tobacco was secured That is said
to be the true story of how the name
'stogie' originated. louisville Courier
