"TELL IT TO THE MARINES" "
Pcpys' Version Of the Origin Of the
Expression by Charles II.

Tcpys' Version Of the Origin Of the
Expression by Charles II.
The saying. "Tell it to the marines"
is traced to Pepys, the author Of the
famous DIARY" and it is said by him
to have originated with Charles II. OF
England. 'It so befell," as the story
goes, ''that his light hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolling IN
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty. 81
had speech yester en- at Deptford,' said
Mr.. Pepys, with the captain Of the
Defryance, who hath lately returned
from the Indies and who told me the
two most wonderful things that ever,
I think, I did hear in my life. Among
the stories told were Of fish flying In
the air. Fish flying in the air. ex-
claimed his majesty. Ha, ha! 4 quaint
conceit, which 'twere too good to spoil
WI keeping. What ho, sir-he turned
and beckoned the colonel, Sir William
Killigrew Of the newly raised mari
time regiment Of foot, who was 1ol-
lowing in close conversation with the
Duke Of York-'we would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
own element What say you, colonel,
to a man who swears be hath seen
fishes to fly in the air:'
"I should say, SIRE" returned the
sea soldier simply, that the man hath
sailed in southern seas, for when your
maiesty's business carried me thither
Of late I did frequently observe more
flying fish in one hour than the hairs
Of my head in number
"Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the
coloners frank, weather beaten face.
Then, with a laugh, he turned to the
secretary.
"eMr. Pepys,' said he, from the very
nature of their calling no class Of our
subjects can have so wide knowledge
of seas and lands as the officers and
men Of our loyal maritime regiment.
Henceforth 'erc ever we cast doubts
upon tale that lacketh likelihood we
will first tell it to the marines. -

Vegetables and Fruits.

The term vegetable has reference to
the whole or any part Of plant culti-
yated especially with reference to use
at the table. But the use Of the word
vegetable doesn't always depend upon
cooking, for celery is a vegetable and
apples are fruit whether eaten raw or
cooked. One would suppose the toma-
to to be entitled to the term fruit, for
the method of its raising resembles
that Of fruit. But it is usually called
vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook
ed, in spite Of its appearance. The
ounce is so fruitlike in appearance,
so resembling apples, pears, ETC., that
it persists in being called fruit though
eaten only when cooked. Sometimes
the vegetable is a bud, as with cab
bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as
spinach; stems above ground, as as
paragus; stems enlarged (tubers) un-
derground, rs common potatoes, or
roots, as sweet potatoes, turnips, beets
and carrots.-St. Nicholas.

THE IVORY MARKET.

One Of the sights Of London is the
great ivory floor at the London DOCKS
where previous to and during the Pc
riodical sales ivory may be seen liter
ally by the acre, for the tusks are la!d
out in lots on the floor Of one OF the
great warehouses for inspection by in
tending purchasers. For weeks preVl-
Gus to the actual sale the special star
of the ivory department has been busy
preparing the various conslsnments
and arranging them according to the
sizes and quality and CHASING them
into the various grades, each OF Which
has some particular use for which 1t is
especially adapted.
There is practically no waste III the
manufacturing Of articles from ivory.
The smallest chip is not thrown away,
but carefully preserved to be utilized
for some purpose. Even the shaVings
from the turning down Of blllaro
ball have q market value for use ID IN

ivory sale by no means consist Oh
tusks and sections Of tusks alone, but
include the residue from MARY previous
sales. Buyers purchase the particular
class that they require for their own

rhe Womeu OF Tehuantepec,

The climate Of the Tehuantepec 18TH
mus compares most favorably with
that Of Panama, being mild and health
full, writes Rene Bache in Technical
World Magazine. Coffee, cacao, to-
bacco, vanilla and sugar cane are
grown in the region, which has a pop
ulation of about $4,000. The inhabit-
ants are hardy and industrious, those
Of the plains on the Pacific side being
descended from the ancient race Of the
Zapatecos and boasting that they were
never conquered by the Spaniards. 1t
Is said that the women Of this race
have from time inmemorial been able
to maintain supremacy over the weak
er male sex, leaving the men at home
to take care Of the house and children
while they carry heavy burdens to
market on their heads. They are very
handsome, these women, and their ma
tive costume is most artistic, including
picturesque headdress.

One Side of the Month.

Did you ever meet stranger who
talked from one side Of his mouth,
usually in an undertone and with his
eyes wandering while talking? The
mans manner is not an indication that
he is weighing his words or has some
thing important to tell. 1t is almost q
sure sign that he has spent years in
Jail. This manner Of talking is ac-
auired in prison, where conversation
among prisoners is prohibited and
where the men have to talk out Of one
side of their mouths in order to prevent
the keeper from noticing that conversa-
ton is going on. The habit sticks TO
the convicts for years after they get
out-New York Press.

that his show is not drawing full

Grape on his hat, and he had discarded
the patent leather shoes an actor loves
for others of a subdued polish that

Tobacco the "National Flower"

II the great republic must have 4
flower, why not adopt the tobacco
plant CNicotiana tabacum): 1t is ma
tive of this country and was first
found in Virginia. There is nothing
sectional or local about the plant, be-
cause today it is grown in most OF the
states from Florida and Louisiana to
Connecticut and is now used IN every
nation on the globe, civilized and par
barian, il 1t is possible to obtain IT. II
is not commonly known that the to-
bacco plant bears very pretty PINK
blossom, which might come into the
flower gardens but for It's rank and
disagreeable odor The Indian corn, or
maize, is another plant indigenous to
the United States and was found IN
use as food by the Indians from 'ir-
ginia to Massachusetts,. But if we
must have flower that is esteemed as
such without regard to any economic
considerations or utilitarian qualities,
why not adopt the laurel Laurus lati-
folia), mountain laurel Or broad leaf
laurel New Orleans Picayune.

good subject for a picture, but there
appeared in one Of the illustrated pa
pers a view Of London during the
storm = from Blackheath,' which,
whether work Of pure imagination or
actually drawn from nature, was ex-
ceedingly realistic and impressive. Inc
special feature Of the storm was the
hail with which 1t was accompanied,
though the thermometer stood at 93
degrees in the shade. The panes or

The human body is an epitome in ma
ture Of all mechanics, all hydraulics,
all architecture, all machinery Of every
kind. There are more than 80 mechan-
ical movements known to mechanics
today, and all Of these are but modln'

body. Here are found all the bars,
levers, joints, pulleys, pumps, pipes,
wheels and axles, bail and socket
movements, beams, sirders, russes,
