A pleu For De.criptive Titlc..

Setting aside the flood not to be
counted as literature, the naming of a
book that is worthy of a name is u
matter of real moment. Two methods
seem to have been followed-that of
using the name of a leading character,
Ia "Jane Eyre" and Rob Roy" the
other that of giving some hint OF the
nature of the book, as in Vanity Fair"
and 1.-THE Cloister and the Hearth"
The first method has no justification.
What we plead for is that a title shall!
contain the SOU or the keynote Of the
book. Then the author and reader
start on fair terms. Jane Austen. a
Consummate artist. understood this
well, as in pride and Prejudice" but
forsook her advantage in "Emma"-a
better book and susceptible to as tell
ing a title. 1t is difficult to estimate
what would have been the loss to lit
erature IL 1.-THE Scarlet Letter. had
been labeled "Hester Prynne" and
'sThe House of Seven Gables"-a title
that has worked it's way into architec.
ture-had been called "The Pyn.
cheons."-Dr. Theodore T. Munger In
Booklovers' Magazine.

II SOUP PLATE.
ssventcenth Century cookhofA
Tells Why 1t Wns Invented.

0eventcenth Century Cookbof1
Tells Why Ii Was Invented.
A valet of Louis XIV. published Il
cookbook in 1866 in which he gives as
follows the reason 70: the invention of
the hollow soup plate:
The plates Of the guests will be hol-
tow in order that they may help them
selves to as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take ii
spoonful by spoonful, because of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon go from the mouth
10 the tureen.
Guests, it will be seen, used their
own spoons to fill their plates, the large
spoon to be used for serving the soup
not being invented till some time later.
Yet even a hundred years after the In
vention Of the soup plate u749) q work
on civility advised that all the dishes
should be so placed on the table that
every one could reach them with his
spoon and that If the soup was served
In a dish (tureen) every one should
help himself with his own spoon with
out seeming to be in a hurry. A work
on manners that appeared Just before
the French revolution deemed 1t best
to advise it's readers that 1t was lmpo-
lite to pass the spoon back and forth
between the mouth and the tu-een.

weighing . Field of .,urnip..

The English farmer MAX 8 use OF
mathematics in his work. says a Lon
don paper. Suppose, for example, that
he wishes to know the weight of his
turnip crop while it is still in the
ground, which is sometimes a matter
Of Importance. a simple calculation
will give him the information.
1t is the custom in England to plant
turnips in ridges twenty-eight inches
apart; this makes ninety ridges to the
acre. The farmer selects a row where
the crop seems about the average and
pulls up all the turnips in a measured
yard of the row and weighs them.
Assuming that they weigh ten
pounds, q simple calculation shows
that the crop averages a little more
than t%wenty-eight tons to the acre. II
they weigh eleven pounds, the average
will be about thirty-one tons to the
acre.

A Famous Emerald.

The emerald is mentioned by St
John in his Apocalypse. An emerald
Of inestimable value ornamented the
bezel of the ring Of Polycrates, king of
Samos. That monarch, having been all
his life favored by fortune, determined
to put his luck to a severe test. He
threw the ring into the sea. The next
day he went fishing.
The record of that days sport still re-
mains unbroken. His majesty caught
q dne fish. and in the. inside of the fish
he found his ring. That happened in
the year 23O OF the foundation of Rome,
and the ring, considered as a talisman.
was placed among the royal treasures
Of the Temple of Concord.

Hans whispered to Yuly that they
were all right at last and would make
an early start, and he was talking
when he went into dreamland.
His eyes opened with the first peep
of day, but early as it was, the tramp
was already astir.
You see, kids" he said, as they
reused up, Il have to be an early bird
to get any breakfast. AS 1 reach the
first farmhouse the farmer will be just
crawling out and rubbing his eyes and
wishing he could have slept an hour
longer l shall offer to feed his pigs
or milk a COW to pay for my break
fast, and he will be almost certain to
give it to me. Are you going on to-
day?'
1--WE are" they answered together.
Then good luck go with you. Keep
a straight road and you will come to
a bridge over Lost river after YOU
have gone far enough. There is quite
a village there, and perhaps you will
not want to meet too many people
That is your affair, however. Any
how, you will see the river you are
looking for, and if you put, it in your
pockets and run away there will be
trouble. Good morning to YOU
When he had gone, the children ate
their bit of bread and sausage and
drank from brook crossing the road,
and then started off in high hopes. 1t
turned out to be a hot day, and their
feet had become sore with walking,
and what with the many halts they
had to make, it had been dark for an
hour or more when they reached the
village and the bridge and saw the
waters of Lost river before them.
While Hans went to a store to buy
something to eat, Yuly sat on the steps
Of 10 .-ofr
to her he said
Il can see many boats along the
shore. Let us go down there and hide
ourselves until all are asleep, and we
will then take one of the boats and

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-03-06

except to give Niklas Pumphandle the
secret pass word that would open all
mines. So the King, nearly choking
with disgust, put his mouth close to
the peasants ear and told him what
it was.
We would like to tell you the word,
so that you could go around the earth
opening gold and silver and tin and
copper mines and getting rich beyond
the dreams of aVarice. But, unhap-
PLY, the secret pass word was shaped
so strangely that it simply cannot be
spelled by any of the arts known to
even the best students of the spelling
book. And the type hasn't been made
that could print it, even if it could be
spelled.
Niklas Pumphandle went home that
night and could not sleep because he
feared that he would forget the word.
And all next day be neglected his work.
The COW kicked him because he MIXED
her so clumsily. The dog bit him be-
cause he stepped on his tail. The pig
upset him, the calf stepped on his
corns, and even the rooster got mad
at him and tried to chase him.
He didn't enjoy his meals and he
didn't enjoy his pipe; and when he
went to bed, tired though he was, he
again found it impossible to sleep, for
fear of forgetting the word.
At 2 a. m. he jumped up and hurried
on his clothing. Then he ran out of
the house and up the moonlit valley as
fast as he could go, till he reached the
castle.
On the wall sat His Majesty Mully
Grubber, King of the Dwarfs, and he
was sobbing, sobbing. sobbing. The
tears were shimmering everywhere in
the moonbeams like diamonds. He was
weeping thus bitterly because he had
given up the secret pass word.
"Oh, noble King Muly Grubber,
ruler of the Komic Mountains" cried
Niklas Pumphandle, bowling low. Pray
take the pass word back 1t is inter-
fering with my care of the COW and
with my sleep and appetite
With a whoop of inexpressble joy
King Mully Grubber leaped down from
the wall and stuck his large and intel
ligent-looking ear in front of Pump
handles ruby mouth. The peasant
whispered the word and Immediately
it was off his mind.
He capered and whistled all the way
home and on the castle wall the King
of the Dwarfs was capering and
whistling, too.
Could you have fitted the arrows in
to the cavity?
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-03-06

the merry wit of King Mully Grubber
and shouted that he would make them
kill themselves with laughing at his
jokes some day.
Kaspar, Caspar and Gaspar seized
Niklas Pumphandle and dragged him
away to a big green plain under the
castle walls. Here they posted him and
produced five curiously shaped arrows.
Then they pointed to a queer cavity
in the wall and informed him that King
Mully Grubbers problem was to shoot
the five arrows into the cavity in such
a manner that they would fit in snugly
and nicely alongside of each other,
without crossing or in other ways inter
fering.
Poor Niklas had never in his life shot
an arrow; for he was a farmer who de-
voted all his thoughts to the peaceful
and ennobling arts of milking and
ploughing. So he scratched his head
and wondered how he would like ii in
the toad-hole.
The whole Court sat on the walls
looking at him and King Mully Grub
Der said in an audible voice: Better
tell them to get the toad-hole ready"
This robbed Niklas Pumphandle of
what little presence of mind and cool
ness had remained, and he fell to trem-
bling so violently that the earth shook
under his feet.
And now, children, you shall learn
how good it is to be kind hearted. One
day in the spring, Nklas Pumphandle
had found a little green frog in the
Held, and, instead of stepping on it and
spelling its mechanism, he had picked
1t up tenderly and dropped it into the
brook.
Now this green frog was under his
feet, and said in a clear, thin voice:
will save you from the toad-hole,
Niklas. Take me up and hide me in
your right hand. Then. when you pull
the bow string, l will aim for you |
saw old Mully Grubber planning his
puzzle yesterday and | know how the
arrows should fit into the cavity"
Niklas was not so surprised to hear
a frog talk as you would be- He lived
IN land where such things are as
common as trolley cars are in Amer
lea, so he picked up the frog and pull
ed the bow string as ordered.
Ping! went the biggest arrow, and
Pang! and Whang! and Wiling! and
rang! went the other four. And every
one went in just right.
When the first arrow went off, King
Mully Grubber laughed madly for he
was certain that clumsy Niklas Pump
handle could not hit the side of a
house. But he quickly tried to change
his laugh to a cough when he oh
served what had occurred.
The other four arrows went in so
fast that Mully Grubber did not even
nave time TO cough. And when it was
all over and the experts had to ac-
knowledge that the arrows were fitted
just right, the mean old royal thing
nearly went out of his head with rage.
However, there was nothing for it
