The Derrick.

A derrick is an innocent mechanical
apparatus for lifting heavy weights,
but it gets it's name from an English
hangman called Derrick, who flourish
ed many years ago. The people of that
time thought that the device used only
in the hangman's trade resembled the
more common mechanism which now
bears his surname. Somewhat similar
~, the term ruffian is believed by
many to have come from Morocco,
where the inhabitants of the Riff coun-
try were and are pirates and altogether
persons of evil character.

ANOTHER JAPANESE LESSON.

An incident that has escaped the wide
notice IL deserves occurred the other
night ia New York at \ banquet 10
honor OF. Baron Komure- The baron
was asked 10 respond TO z toast on the
japanese lighting men. During the
progress of his remarks he naturally
mentioned the name OF Admiral Togo.
and what do you think he called Togo?
NO, he didn't refer to him as the Paul
Jones or the Lord Nelson of Japan. He
didn't declare him the greatest sea
lighter since the world began. No. In
simple. dignifed language ne called
Togo a lobster
Yes. that's the word; lobster" we
forget What the japanese word for lob
ster is, but they have a word that
means lobster. And that is what Ko-
mura called Togo. Win there be trou-
Die about it I'm Japan? VIII the en-
peror send KomUra a message so hot
that it viii destroy every wire between
Toxic and New York City? You think
he ought TO. don't you2 But the EN-
peror will do nothing of the kind. Togo
VIII not demand immediate satisfaction
IN the form of an apology or a fight.
And this is the reason, as given by
Sato, one OF the Komura suite:
When Baron KomUra said Admiral
Togo was lobster at the Nippon club
dinner the other night he used the term
in the japanese and not in the Ameri-
can sense. With us in Japan the lob
ster is emblematicaI Of good luck. On
New Years day. for instance, friends
present one another with little rice
cakes decorated with miniature Holsters,
the lobster meaning an expression of
the hope that the recipient of the cake
viii have good luck during the ensuing
year. So when Baron Komura said
that Admiral Togo was Japan's lob
ster. he meant that he was Japan's
good fortune peTsonifed. In this coun-
try 1 understand that to cali man a
lobster is TO decorate him with any
thing but a flattering title"
Here endeth another lesson in Japan
csc usage. When you go to Japan and
desire to upbraid the rickshaw man
WAC doesn't hurry, you viii not call
him a lobster. II you do he win think
re has succeeded in pleasing you clear
Gown to the ground. In this country
e you call a man q lobster you stand
il immediate danger CT getting 4 punch
On the nose. III Japan it's different,
according 70 Sato.
And there is another thought in this
incident. II yoa feel an irresistible i'm
pulse to cali somebody lobster, and
IT, the somebody shows an inclination
t. resent Il, pacify him by telling him
you used the word IN the Japanese
sense. It may save you trouble.

UMBRELLAS ARE PROPERTY.

All honor 70 a Boston Judge who de-
cideo the other day that it is a crime

umbrella is just as much property as
anything else we own, and that the man
who has lost one has no right to take
another. The remarkable thing about
this umbrella business is that somebody
hasn't taken It into court before. There
is hardly a man or woman IN the coun-

umbrella because somebody 4ise Gust

PLANTS AND PEoPLE.

According to a St. Louis preacher,
Luther Burbank. the California wiz
ard" who has produced such marvellous
results in raising plants, is convinced
that it is just as easy TO rear a perfect
human being as TO grow perfect dow
er- Unfortunately, Mr.. Burbank was
rather vague in his explanation of the
method that should be used TO accom-
plish this result. According to the
preacher:
Burbank said that every person
should be perfect. and needed only the
same attention to his or her training
that he is giving TO weeds. He declared
that just as he has wrought miracles
with plants, by bringing them into CON
tact with those elements OF their en-
vironment to which they respond read
lily, just so should those who have the
care Of children seek to do for them.
and TO train them by bringing their
natures into contact with ali the ele-
ments OF their environment to which
\ they are potentially responsive
The theory is a very pretty one. but
we have our doubts about fits working
out satisfactorily. In the cultivation of
his wonderful plants no restraint is laid
on Mr.. Burbank. Long experience has
taught him just the soil each plant re-
quires, he can make the ancestry OF
each flower or Specimen OF fruit ex-
actly what he pieasess This would be
impossible with children. Neither Mr..
Burbank nor any other man, nor any
set Of men, could mate men and women
fifty.
They could not prevent the inebriate
from marrying, and bringing into the
world children cursed with an inherited
taste for alcoholic beverages; they
could not prevent the witless from pro-
ducing more witless children. All the
best environment that could be thrown
around a child would not make bright
man or woman out of an idiot. The
child with the alcoholic inheritance
might be saved. but that would require
the most watchful care.
And the experiment would require
| some hundreds of years in the making.
Mr.. Burbank destroys thousands of
plants before he produces the perfect
one Would he also destroy thousands
OF children? And where would he get
the authority for their destruction? Too
much stress cannot be laid on the ne
! cessity for clean, healthy environment
for children; too much care cannot be
given them. But children cannot be
raised by rule or law. There is as
much difference between them as there
is between a potato and a peach
