BILLlNGSGATE.
Markets Seem the Natural Abode Of
Strong Language.

Markets Seem the Natural Abode Of
Strong Language.
The unpublished phraseology, ma
tive though not peculiar to this
quarter of London, has given rise
to the proyerbial use of the name
Billingsgate. some may term this
the Esculine gate of London" says
old Fuller. ''Here one may hear
linguas jurgatrices." The seven
teenth century references to the
Rhetoric" or obscene language of
the market are frequent, and hence
foul language itself is called "bil-
lingsgate." In "Vanity Fair" too,
Thackeray tells up how Mr.. Osborne
cursed Billingsgate with an empha-
sis worthy of the place.
1t is curious how markets are the
natural abode of strong language.
Thus the French equivalent for
''You are no better than a Billings
gate fish fag" is "Your compliments
are like those of the Place Maui
bert" the Place Maubert being not
ed for its market.
In the good old DAYS the Billings
gate porters seem to have thorough
" enjoyed themselves, for one Bang
ford, writing in 1715, says: 'This
being to my mind another ancient
custom that hath been omitted of
late years. 1t seems that in former
times the porters that piled at Bill
lingsgate used civilly to entreat and
desire every man that passed that
way to salute a post that stood there
in a vacant place. If he refused to
do this, they forthwith laid hold of
him and by main force bumped him
against the post. But if he quietly
submitted to kiss the same and paid
down sixpence they gave him
name and chose some one of the
gang for his godfather. / believe
this was done in memory of some
old image that formerly stood there,
perhaps Belus or Belin."
The original porters of Billings
gate belonged to one of the oldest
labor guilds in the country, the Fell
lowship of Porters, and at one time
the carrying work both at Billings
gate and from the 'wharfS to the
warehouses of the city within Ger
tain radius was entirely performed
by them.-London Globe.

SPLENDID Isolation.

4 number of military men in a
Washington hotel were once giving
an account of an incident of the
civil war. A quiet man who stood
by at last said:
Gentlemen, | happened to be
there and might be able to refresh
your memory as to what took place
in reference to the event just mar
rated"
The hotel keeper said to him:
"Sir, what might have been your
rank"
Il was a private"
Next day the quiet man as he
was about to depart asked for his
bill.
- "Not a cent, sir; not a cent" an
swered the proprietor. "You are
the very first private / ever met.

THE YOUNG CHICKS.
Some Valuable Suggestions as to ths

Some Valuable suggestions as to the
Care Of the Little Fellows.
When the chicks are thirty or forty
hours old they are carried in warm
covered baskets TO the brooders, and
fifty or sixty are put under each hover,
where the temperature is between 80
and 100 degrees. Says writer. speak.
ing from experience, in Inland Poultry
Journal The temperature is not al
lowed to fall below 90 degrees the first
week or 80 during the second week.
Then it is gradually reduced according
to the temperature outside, care being
much heat or to cause them to crowd
together under the hover because they
are cold. They should fatten out sep
arutely when young and little later
lie with their heads just at the edge of
the fringe of the hover.
Under no condition are they allowed
to huddle outside of the brOoder They
huddle because they are cold, and they
should be put under the hover to get
warm until they learn to do so of their
own accord. Neither are they allowed
to stay under the hover too much but
are forced out into the cooler air.
where they gain strength in the day
time. They are not allowed to get
more than foot from the hover dur
ing the first two days; then little far
ther away each day and down on to
the house floor about the fourth or
fifth day, If the weather is not too cold.
They must not get cold enough to hud-
die or cry, but they must come out
from under the hover frequently.
The floor Of the brooder Is cleaned
every day and kept we'll sprinkled
with sharp, fine crushed rock known
in the market as "chick grit" The
floor Of the house is covered with cIo-
yer leaves or hay chaff from the feed

For raising great numbers of winter
chickens the long piped broOdeP house
is Indispensable, and It has many ad-
vantageS when used at any season Of
the year. The advantages are espe.
cially great when raising chickens If
April or May prove to be cold and
wet, for then the small houses are apt
to be cold outside Of the brOoders.
The expenditure Is greater for the
piped houses for the reason that colony
houses should be provided in which
the chickens may he sheltered after
they leave the broOder house. In ordi-

1t is always very we'll to have
kind words and a CHEEKY face,
but the trouble with good many |
is that this is as far as it goes. |
Some of the kindest hearts that
ever beat twice for other people |
and once for themselves are hid
behind faces in which every fea-
ture looks like it was trying to
pick a fight out of all others, |
while some of the most motor
ious hypocrites who are doing de-
tective work for the devil wear a |
perennial smile and have a glad |
hand and a kind word for every
body. But there is never any,
thing in the hand but a shake, |
and when the time comes when
the smile ought to melt into a
tear it forgets to be but keeps on
beaming. Some people forget to
look sorry at a funeral and when |
they see distress they are so busy |
and saying sweet things
that they haven't time for any
thing else. There are a good
many men who carry their vitals
in their pocketbook and with such
as these smiles are only the out
ward signs that their stomachs
are able to keep pace with their
appetite and their liver is in good
order. A smile of this kind isn't
very deep and doesn't do much
good, but the smile that reaches
clear down into a mans heart
and then on down into his pants
pocket and opens up his purse is
the kind we ought to practice and
the only kind we ought to recog-
nize.

who would have asserted that il

the welfare and existence of the

kind and foretell the rise of the
western republic that should
bind many into one, and that
proved powerful enough to sup
press rebellion and establish Sc
curely the law that all dissen-
sions must be settled among them
without resort to warfare.
Greece, in the days of her most
glorious achievements, would be
small in comparison, so far as
numbers and extent of territory
is concerned, and in the western
republic the impossible has been
achieved.
England now unites under one
government several nations of
the past, and the frequent and
devastating wars of the past have
received a final period, ways and
are found to settle differ
ences among them and their peo-
pie are relieved in large measure
from the sorrows and devasta-
tions formerly rife in these lands
because of warfare.
The just and peace-loving far
mer of England during the wars
of the Roses could not foresee
this consummation, as he was
despoiled of property and sons,
he would not have believed that
the time would come when wars
would cease in the land.
There were prophets who be-
lieved in the coming of better
days, but at times they were un-
popular and the world at large
could not see how peace could be
consistent with honor and glory.
The Peace Congresses have
a good work and the
end is not yet, for while the ma
tions burden their people with
the expensive equipment of war
vessels, that must be replaced by
greater monsters almost as soon
as completed, the movement to-
wards universal peace gains
and is certain to result
some time in a federation so
strong that no recalcitrant, no
covetous, no murderous power
will dare attempt to settle it's
differences by a resort to arms.
Not many nations would have
to enter into the agreement to
submit all controversies to an
court of arbitration
till the nations entering into this
compact would hold the dominant
power of the world.
One of our states, or a group
of them, MAY attempt to nullify
the laws of the general govern
ment again, but not many of us
believe that they will, and we do
believe that the power of the ma
ton would be used to suppress
such a movement. There would
be about the same probability
that a nation that believed it's
own ideas of honor above justice
might oppose the laws of the par
lament of nations and try to
make war but the outcome would
be about like the outcome of the
man who becomes drunken and
starts out to demolish the town
he is soon taken care of and rests
