The Port.rhouss STEAK.

On almost every bill of fare are seen
the words ''porterhouse steak" Now,
most people know what porterhouse
steak is, having on some occasion
eaten one, or at least piece of beef
that went by that name, but few peo-
pie know how the name itself origi-
mated Years ago there was hosiery
near Harvard university kept by a
man named Porter Soon this tavern
became famous for its viands, espe-
cially for its cuts Of meats. The stran-
ger stopping there for meal and not
knowing exactly what to order would
be advised by his genial host, Mr..
Porter, to order steak. So good
were his steaks that travellers often
spoke of them, and gradually began
referring to them as the steaks you
get at Porter's house." From that it
was but short time before they were
referred to as the Porter house
steak" Since then butchers all over
the country have found out the way in
which Mr. Porter cut his famous steaks
and have been making the same cuts
themselves; hence the porterhouse
steak has been served the country
over.

There is one noticeable difference
between lot of divinity students and
group of college men interested in
heather culture" said the gray headed
man. ''The divinity students seldom
talk shop. If you meet three or four
men all Of whom happen to be studying
engineering or law or medicine, the
conversation is likely to smack so
strongly of the lecture hall that a lay
man can scarcely follow the drift of
the talk. But with divinity students it
is different Very frequently am
brought into contact with small groups
of young fellows who are preparing for
the ministry, and l find that only on
rare occasions do they bore outsiders
by Juggling in class room topics. This
cannot mean that they are not inter
ested In their profession or that they
are ashamed to uphold their faith at
all times; neither does it necessarily
imply greater consideration for the I'M
initiated public. In fact, am unable
to explain their professional reserve
on any grounds; but, whatever the
cause, it is a most refreshing reti-
cence New York Press.

An Island of Flowers.

The Scilly islands may very justly
be termed flower islands, for a large
part of their surface is given up to the
cultivation of flowers, and the great
majority of their people spend their
lives In attending to the plants, from
which all the wealth of the islands is
drawn. The inhabitants have had
other occupations before they settled
down to flower growing At one time
they were wreckers, and at later pc
Rod they went into a more legitimate
business and devoted themselves to
the raising of early potatoes. There
was money to be made out of them,
and the islands prospered until pros
perity bore its usual fruit in the shape
Of competition. The channel islanders
took to growing potatoes, and the po-
tato trade of the Sicily islands was
killed. Thereupon the islanders be-
took themselves to flower growing,
giving the greater part Of their at
tention to the narcissi In ST. Mary's
alone nearly quarter of the cult
waited area Of the island is devoted to
flowers.

Misleading Names.

Perhaps the most misleading name
on the map is that of TERRA del Fuego,
the Land of Fire" The name would
imply that it was land of volcanoes
In constant activity. The fact Is, how
ever, that It contains no volcanoes and
Is country Of perpetual wet and cold.
It got its name from the fact that 1t
was sighted by Magellan at night In
consequence, Of a large fire having
been ignited by the natives on shore.
The same discoverer happened to have
very fine weather after he had round
ed the Horn and SO gave the name
Pacific" to part of the ocean which
is exceptionally subject to storms.
Again, Boothia Felix, peninsula IN
arctic America, in which the magnetic
pole is located. is anything but chap
py" or pleasant" as Its name would
imply. 1t was named after Sir Felix
Booth, who provided funds for the ex-
petition which discovered 1t. In anoth-
er sense the name of America Is who'd
~ misleading. since 1t Is derived from
that Of Amerigo Vespucci, who did
not discover the new world.

By the laws of England and Of
France legal documents are required
to be written in ink made from gals,
such ink having proved to be practi-

by a fly known as the gallfy. The

outer bark of an oak tree twig and de-
