"liago" IL a corruption Of "Diego." the
Spanish for James. a name common
among the Spanish whose patron saint
Ia San Diego. says writer In the 30.
iumian magazine. The name was first
applied TO the Spaninrds by American
sailors who frequented spanlsh.Ameri.
can ports and widened Its scope 10 as
TO include the dark.skinned foreigners
OF the United States. 1t is now used
to designate Italians. Spaniards and
Portuguese.
"Dude." which some persons believe
to DO Of American origin, was born In
I.oEdor In the Sos. 1t was first heard
there on the streets and then found it,
way into the theaters. where It was
launched effectively against that class
OF men Of which Oscar Wilde was an
apostle. and who were better known a.
aesthetics. 1t Is said to have been de-
rived from the dialectal word 'duds,"
which means 'little belongings or Of.
fects," and which was ultimately cor
rupted and accepted In collOQuial Ian
guage as a fitting designation for ones
articles Of apparel. Jealous Of the
popularity that the term acquired, some
writer OF songs for the music halls In
troduced the term "ladi-da," which had
Its vogue while the song was popular,
but was sung to death.

If the bakers will make good bread
out of pure flour, and educate the peo-
pie to buy 1t, "the great destroyer of
domestic happiness, dyspepsia, will be
removed, ana we shall hear no more
of the divorce problem" So DR.. Wiley,
the government food expert, told the
American Biscuit Makers Association
the other day. The harm done by heavy
bread, soggy pie crust and greasy cakes
Is so great that no one has dared to
estimate 1t. That young woman who
wishes to make the world better may
begin well by learning how to cook d.
gestible meals.

Marriage by Halter.

Among ignorant people Of English
birth 1t was once the belief that wife
bought with money or goods was legally
married II the purchaser led her all the
way home by halter.
Barring Gould, the English antigua.
rian, told OF village poet known to
him who bought wife for half a
crown and led her twelve miles to his
cottage. The squire and the rector pro.
tested to the village poet that he was
not legally welded.
"Why, yes, be-" he replied. "I'll
take my Bible oath never once took
the halter OFF till she'd crossed the
doorsill and the door was shut"
The latest Instances Of such wife
sales occurred In 1858 and 1859. when
women were sold In Little Horton and
In Dudley. In these cases blue rib.
bon took the place Of the straw halter.

AN EDITORS APPEAL.

Ny friend, help the editor in his
wild-eyed search for news. When
your friends come to see you, if
you are not ashamed of it, tell
him; when your wife gives tea
party if you have recovered from
the effects of the gossip, drop in
with the news, if you 60 to a party
steal some of the good things, and
leave 'em with the item in our
sanctum. If your wife ticks you
come in and let us see your scars
and tender sympathy through the
paper; give in all the common
place news. In short, whatever
makes you feel proud, sad, lone
some or glad submit it to our "a
karat wisdom and see our matted
locks part and stand on end with
gratitude, which will pour from
every pore like moisture from the
dew be-sprinkled earth.

Do your own advertising. Make
it a study. Study the wants of
your trade. When you get some
thing they want, let them know it.
Do what you say you will, and a
fortune is yours. Advertising is a
study, and if man waits until he
has purchased a stock of goods
and gets placed on the shelves, and
then thinks about talking to the
people, school boy could predict
his cavernous failure. You can
not succeed on your reputation as
a good writer. You cannot sue
ceed on your reputation as a good
book-keeper. You must have
other essentials, and the chief of
these is to be able to get near the
buyer and to inspire that conf
dence which will induce long-con-
tinued mutul good feeling, and to
this end the newspaper is yours.
