The Term "Greenh !"

The tern. ''greenhorn" originated In
this way: The pioneers of the west
were much given to hunting deer. 1t
was fact known to early settlers that
when the horn Of fawn began to
grow there was ring Of green hair
around the spot. 1t was considered a
disgraceful thing for hunter to kill a
fawn, a cruel act, and the killing time
was regulated by the growth Of the
horn There was a sort Of unwritten
law that no one should kill a male
fawn before it's horn could be seen. A
person who was so unthoughtful as to
kill deer uLder the proper age was
called a "greenhorn." He was so
named because the young horn Of the
deer and the hair around it were still
green. The use Of the appellation
gradually spread until it was applied
to all raw or inexperienced youths or
persons easily imposed upon.

Catching the EARLY Snider.

One must be an early riser if he
would photograph a spiders web, for
the delicate fabric must be taken when
the dew is yet on it, so that the out
lines will be in sharp relief. The best
success is obtained when the webs
are on pine trees, and spiders seem to
favor these trees because Of the shell
ter they afford. Look on the least eX-
posed side of the tree for your web,
for instinct teaches the little creatures
to make their homes where the strong
winds do not strike. In taking the
picture the lens should be brought very
near the web, in order to make the
threads as large as possible. I have
photographed a spiders web with a
by 5 camera and with 61a by 49,
instrument, having equally good sue
cess in each case. It is we'll to have a
rubber focusing cloth and to keep it
over the camera all the time, for the
person who hunts spiders webs early
in the morning must be prepared for
dampness.-Suburban Life

him from stretching hemp. Even then

MANY ARE LEAVING THE CITY
But There Is No General Exodus-Life
Companies Not Scared.

Companies Not Scared.
Many people are still leaving the
city, but it is difficult to separate those
who are going away on their usual
annual vacations from those who are
seeking to get out of harms way. The
great bulk of the city's population is
still here, however, and apparently de-
cided to stay until the mosquito theory
is proved or frost comes.
The life insurance companies of the
north and east are still doing business.
They have kept in close touch with the
situation, and SO far as learned none
has advised its local representatives to
cease writing. They will doubtless con-
tinue to do SO unless the situation be-
comes more serious. Every precaution
is being taken to prevent a spread of
the infection. The state board of health
is now i'll communication with every
health board in the state and has di-
rected immediate Geographic informa-
ton of the discovery of even suspicious
cases.
That reasOnableness in the country
districts with respect to guarantees is
not increasing is evidenced by a dis
patch from Port Gibson, Miss, on the
Mississippi Valley road, which an
nOunces that the town council there
met in special session and publicly
passed a resolution excluding all freight

of hysteria on the part of the country
districts is the refusal in so many di-
rectiOns to permit the location of de-
tention camps. Ii is very difficult to
find sites for these camps because the

Penxs and the Cook Maid.

There was a servant problem in the
seventeenth century but it was solved
in rough and ready fashion. Pepys
records on April II, 1867, that he came
home, ''saw my door and hatch open,
left so by Luce, our cook maid, which
so vexed me that did give her a kick
in our entry and offered blow at her."
Two days afterward lords day.
Pepys writes this: "Took out my wife
and the two MERGERS and two of our
maids, Barker and Jane, and over the
water to the Jamaica house, where /
never was before, and there the girls
did run for wagers over the bowling
green, and there with much pleasure
spent little, and SO home" Luce was not
there, but the other maids were treated
as members Of the family.

Light and soUna.

Light travels SO vasti., icch faster
chan sound that there is no compari-
son between their velocities. The We
locity of light is about 10000 miles
second. AT this speed light viii travel
about eight times around the earth in
s second, and light starting from tie
sun will traverse the 03,000.00O miles
of space intervening between the sun
and the earth in eight minutes. So if
is seen light flashes from one part of
the earth to another, even the most re-
mote, instantaneously, or practically
so. Sound travels worse than a snairs
pace as compared with light, going
only about 100 feet in second, or
about a mile in five seconds or twelve
miles in a minute These facts are no
ticed, though not always understood,
by any one who sees a gun fired only
a few hundred yards away. The flash
and the puf of smoke are seen instan-
taneously; the report of the gun al
ways comes porceptibly later, the time
