THE ORIGIN OF "SUNDAE."
Name of Summer Beverage Originated
in New Orleans in Singular
Manner.

"Sundae sounds like an East Indian
name for the popular soda fountain
beverage, and most people probably
think that is its origin, but it isn't,
says Herrick J. Gray. according to the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The name originated in New Or
leans and in an interesting manner. A
druggist there whose soda fountain
was an extremely popular resort found
himself one Sunday without the usual
supply of tanks, through some strike
or other trouble, or else he was unable
to obtain ice, | forget which. At any
rate. he wasn't in a position TO serve
anything but ice cream and sirups, and
he was almost in despair
AN expert sign maker, he soon had
signs in his windows announcing that
in order to push ii properly nothing
but the new Sunday drinks would be
served at his place that day. His pat
rons we're nothing loath to try the sim
pie combination of ice cream and sir
ups, and Others were attracted through
curiosity. The new combination made
a hit Before night it was buzzed about
in hundreds of homes, and the next
day the demand was lively for that
new Sunday drink. Gradually other
soda fountains began dispensing it. the
request for it continued, oouched in the
same form. however. and IL wasn't
long before its use in advertising
caused the substitution of an e tor the
y, probably because 1t looked better;
and there you have the whole story.
Not as romantic as II it we're a tale of
India, but still not uninteresting. What
do you Think"

'The crusade against expectorating

cIRcLING WHOLE EARTH.
Longitudinal Observations of Great
Importance Completed by
Scientists.

DR.. Otto KlotZ, government astrono-
mer of the Dominion of Canada, has
been in Cambridge recently arranging
with the Harvard observatory for a
station to perfect his series of longi-
tude observations made in the inter-
est of the dominion government This
work. says a report from Washington,
was instituted upon the completion OF
the British trans-Pacifie cable few
years ago. Dir. Klotz and his party
made longitude connections, beginning
at Ottawa, at Vancouver, Tanning is
land. the Fiji islands Norfolk island,
Queensland, Australia and Sydney, n.
S. w, where his series met like series
from Greenwich eastward TO sydney.
This completed the circuit of the
world for the first time in work Of this
character, an event that eliminated act
ually on the night of September "a,
1903 The work involves the setting
up of a firm pier of cement on brick
at each OF the stations, on the top of
which is a point, the longitude OF
which is determined with the utmost
possible accuracy. The observers clocks
at two stations are Geographically con-
neeted during observations and the err
ror determined with extreme refine
ment
1t is to set up such pier at Harvard
that DR.. Klotz has come, and he has
been promised the hearty cooperation
of Prof. +. C. Pickering and his stan
on carrying out his project This step
connects the Canadian transcontinental
longitude series at one end with the
American series, and ultimately there
will be a similar connection established
between Vancouver and Seattle, thus
completing the loop.

oLD-TIME SAILING SHIPS.
None of the Later Iron Vessels At
tanned the Speed Of Wooden
Predecessors.

The sailing ship, when knew her
in the days of her perfection, was a
sensible creature, writes Joseph Con-
rad, in Harper's. When | say her
days OF perfection, ! mean perfection
Of build, gear, seaworthy qualities and
ease OF handling, not the perfection Of
speed. That quality reached its high
est excellence in the discovery of hol-
low lines and departed with the change
Of building material. None of the iron
ships Of yesterday ever attained the
marvels of speed which the seaman
ship of men famous in their time had
obtained from their wooden, copper
sheeted predecessors.
Everything had been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit of
man had managed to devise an eff
cient coating composition to keep her
bottom clean with the smooth clean
ness of yellow metal sheeting. After
a spell of few weeks as sea, an iron
ship begins TO lag as If she had grown
tired too soon. Ii is only her bottom
that is getting foul. A very little affects
the speed Of a ship that is not driven
on by an untiring propeller. Often
1t is impossible to tell what inconsid-
crate trifie puts her of her stride.
certain mysteriousness hangs
around the quality of speed as II was
displayed by the old sailing ships COM
manded by competent seamen. In
those days the speed was still a matter
for the seaman's care; therefore. apart
from the laws. rules and regulations
for the good preservation OF his cargo,
he was careful Of his loading, of what
is technically called the trim OF his
ship. Some ships sailed best on an
even keel. others had to be trimmed
quite one foot by the stern and have
heard of ship that gave her best
speed when loaded as TO float couple
of inches by the head.

Which Way Is Best.

We have lately denied that the south on labor, and have contended that instead of there being a scarcity of labor, we have too many ignorant laborers in the south and that we would be better off without the tenant system that we have Of course. if we should remove the ignorant laborers from the south it would greatly affect the incomes of a few men. who run big farms operated by renters and tenants, but the masses would be better off Editor Poe, of The Progressive Far mer, who is travelling in the west, ob- serves that enc man there does as much work as two men here; that the Man with a Hoe" is not much in evi- dence out there. The work is done by one man with a cultivator drawn by two horses that cutiYates both sides of the row at the same time. Con- trasting with the conditions here, MT Poe says: The curse of the ignorant negro tenant, I judge, keeps us in the south from a great many improved methods that we should otherwise adopt, and the increase in the cost of labor may be blessing in disguise in forcing us to consider this question. - Progressive Farmer.
