NOVA SCOTIA BLUENOSES.
No One Seems to Know Just Why They
Are So Called.


Are So Called.
Those who dwell in the Canadian
province of Nova Scotia are called blue
noses. The name has stuck to them
since time out Of mind, but how they
came to get it is a matter Of conjecture.
One thing is certain-they don't like it.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry. and some Will
offer the suggestion that the name is 4
token that the blue blood shows When
the French were driven out of Arcadia
the fertile lands they vacated were
taken up by English colonists. chiefly
from Massachusetts.
The spirit of revolt was strong then
in Boston and elsewhere in New Eng
land. Those who were loyal to tie
king and taxes found it good oppo:-
tunity to move. and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled.
1t may be that the blue blood shows
and that the name is badge of honor.
but most Nova Scotians don't believe
it, for they feel that it is a term of
reproach.
"Why bluenose" was the question
put to one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia.
"Why, after the bluenose potatoes
of course" she said. land think it's
mean to name people after potatoes"
Now. it's true that. next to apples. po-
tatoes form the greatest product Of the
rich Nova ScOtian soil. And it's also
true that the bluenOse is the bright par
ticular star among the varieties Of po-
tatoes they raise in Nova Scotia
But the potatoes were named for the
people. not the people for the potatoes.
! It's simple question of chronology.
| You explain it carefully to the young
woman, and she says. How silly Of
that you haven't convinced her.
Here's another guess. Being the
| third and last. maybe it's the right one.
| At any rate. it's the one generally ac-
cepted in that part Of the American
world known as down east.
1t is cold in Nova Scotia, mighty cold.

the icy breath of the north nips it.
| But. however it is, the easiest way to

is to dub it bluenose.-New York Sun

The TuIip Craze.

About the middle of the seventeenth
century the tulip became known In
Germany. and scientist named GEES
ner gives the first description OF his
flower First only the yellow variety
was known, and then other colors were
produced by crossing The Dutch, par
tucularly the citizens OF Huarlem, pro-
duced the most wonderful varieties Of
this flower and obtained enormous
prices for them.
In 1854 the trade IN tulips assumed
peculiar turn. II degenerated into u
sort OF game Of chance. 50 that In
1913 the authorities felt called upon to
interfere and to issue edits against
extravaganza In tulips, as they former
ly had against trains and laces. This
interference would seem to be justified
II one reads that In 1906 single flower
Of this sort, called the Viceori, was
paid for with two cargoes OF wheat,
four cargoes Of rye. four fat oxen.
eight fat hogs, twelve fat sheep, two
casks OF wine. four barrels Of beer,
two tons of butter, 1000 pounds Of
cheese, complete bed a suit Of cloth
ing and silver tankard.
Another bulb, the Semper Augustus,
was paid for with 1900 gold guilders
and u coach with double team Of
horses. In Harlem the tulip craze
reached its height In the decade from
1880 to 1910, when price Of 1900
gold guilders about $1,000 American
money Is recorded for a single bulb.
