WHAT "HIGH NOON" Is.

The phrase high noon" used SO gen
orally in connection with weddings that
are held at noon (and always wrongly
used), is accounted for by the London
Chronicle thus: Noon was originally
at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon-lf the
bull be permitted-the hour when the
monks said Nones' or noon songs. The
reason that il was put back TO l.
o'clock may be in the fact that the
monks were not allowed to eat their
dinner until after they had said Nones
for in time they anticipated the ser
vice. and their dinner, by saying Nones
Immediately after the midday service.
and that is probably how midday
came to be called noon. In the old
almanacs noon is generally marked at
midday and high noon as at g."

seed oil into Syria is Increasing very
rapidly, due principally to the short
age in the production Of butter The
consul continues:
The constant expectation of sheep
and cattle, together with the ravages
Of disease among the flocks and herds,
has brought about an enormous de.
crease in the number of butter-produc-
ing animals in all this part Of the Otto
man empire. Heretofore butter and
olive oil were the only fats used for
culinary purposes, principally because
Of their great production throughout
the country, and further because the
Mohammedan population are firmly
against the use Of pork and all Of its
products.
Some small consignments Of cotton
seed oil have been received from time
to time and used principally for mix
ing paints and for lubricating pur
poses, but as yet there is very little
demand for It. None is used for cook
ing purposes. quite O sufficient guam
tity Of olive OH being regularly pro
duced to meet the requirements Of the
trade.

prices OF foodstuffs IN general and d
