to the word bye" the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh.
The word amateur" originally
French, from the Latin "amator," a
lover, means a lover of any particular
art, but not a professional follower of it.
The American word boss" for mas
ter, is the modern form of the Dutch
"baas,'' OF the same meaning. 1t is de-
seconded from the original Dutch settlers
of New York.
The word billion" in England and
the colonies means a million millions.
in France and on the continent, as well
as in the United States, it means a thou
sand millions.
The name ''calomel" means beautiful
black and vas originally given TO
black sulphuret Of mercury. AS calomel
is a white powder, the name is merely a
jocular misnomer now.
The word "Boer," applied to the Dutch
inhabitants of the country districts OF
the Cape OF Good Hope, is the German
for farmer and agriculturist. The Eng
lish word Door had'the same origin.
The word beverage has had manys
changes In photography. 1t Is found

The man whose conscience wears
tight shoes is not an agreeable compan-
ion, as you are always afraid Of tread
ing on its corns.
The civilization conscience Is culti-
waited and is adorned with laces, tucks
and frills. II wears a tailor-made suit
and eats with a fork.
The conscience of the heather is as
unembellished as is bis body. The nude
ness of the combination appeals to the
conscience Of the missionary and he en-
deavors to utilize the mantle Of charity.
A weight on a mans conscience gives
him inward dyspepsia. Confession and
restitution are highly recommended
for this malady. Some patients try
philanthropy instead and with indiffer-
ent results.
There are men whose consciences will
not permit them to ride to church on
the trolley car. Instead they are driven
to the sanctuary by their ccachmen,
who are left to mediate In dignifed soli-
tude outside In the cold.

Central Pennsylvania Operators Decide
to Meet Miners and Settle Scale.
Philadelphia, April 3.--Unless .unex-
pected complications arise within a
few days there will be no strike of the
$4,000 bituminous coal miners in the
Central Pennsylvania district. Follow
ing an extended conference Of ma
jority OF the operators at the Hotel
Walton, 1t was decided to meet the
miners scale committee in Altoona to-
morrow. and TO settle the wage ques-
tion for the ensuing year.
While no positive action was taken,
the operators scale committee was en-
powered to make terms with the min
ers with the understanding that the
basis of agreement would be upon the
same scale of wages as has been in
force during the last 10 months.
The action was not unanimous, but
the majority was such that it was
shown that the greater part of the
operators were not in frame of mind
or position to antagonize the miners
and invite a strike. for which the min
~-s' union was prepared.
