The Word .nondIe.n

Late American dictionaries acknowl-
edge doodle as a word. Or. Murray
quotes from an American paper OF
1854. "'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," a 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
teenth century. No doubt II is only
a coincidence that there is an old
Scotch word ''boddle' or ''bodle,'
meaning a twopenny piece, and de-
rived from the name OF the mint mas

Limoges China
lArcadel


The skill of Limoges makers
in turning out fine china in
many different degrees of rich
ness is not eXcelled by any
other potteries in the world.
Whetherin inexpensiveo highly
expensive, the delicate, artistic
French hallmark is always
there.
The output of many Of the
largestof these factories comes
direct to us only for Philadel-
phia-others may have some
of the same goods. but they
were procured through second
hands at the expense of an
otherproflt. In our two stores
we sell more of this china
than any other importer in
the country-which means
lower prices. greater choice,
exclusive designs.
Enough to say that we have
$4,000 worth in this sale at
a third less than all-the-year
prices-too many kinds to
give prices or descriptions.

A SNOW EXPERIMENT.
Frozen vapOr From the Action OF
sulphide of Carbon.

Two solid bodies. one yellow, sui
phur. the otter black, carbon, unite
under certain circumstances to form q
colorless liquid called sulphide OF car
bon. which must be handled with much
precaution on account OF its great ex-
plosiye property. The soluble property
Of sulphide OF carbon renders II valua-
BILE to take spots on garments. II
its odor is more disagreeable than that
Of benzine or turpentine. It has at least
the advantage OF being dispelled quick
" in consequence Of the prompt evap
grafton Of the LIQUID There is nothing
equal 10 it TO take on spots Of paint on
clothes. IL does not do 1t, however,
without creating great fear in persons
who use II for the first time, for they
see on the very place where, TO their
great pleasure, the paint had d.sap-
peared a large white spot, the nature OF
which is has5 for them 20 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 eyaporating takes
heat from the cloth and surrounding
air. and the result of that is a 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: FIJI a small vial with
sulphide OF carbon, tallng great care to
do It far from all flame or heated stove.
Then close the bottle with cork stop
per through which you have previously
bored a small hole. In this hole place
a piece OF blotung 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 fifteen
minutes you will see the outside OF this
paper covered with snow, the quantity
Of which gradually increases. The
LIQUID has risen through the pores Of
the paper as the oil of a lamp through
the wick. When It gets to the open air
It evaporates, ana water contained In
the surrounding atmosphere, being
brought TO a temperature below 80 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-
ton being more abundant.
