A Hoaarthian Ina Sion.

From the Strand Magazine.
One of the most humorous inn signs
is The Man Loaded With Mischief"
which is foun about a mile from
Cambridge. on the Madingley road. The
original MISCHIEF was designed by
Hogarth for a public house in Oxford
street.
1t is needless to say that the sign
board, and even the NAME. have long
ago disappeared from h busy London
thoroughfare, but the quaint device
must have been extensively copied by
country sign painters. There Is a Mis-
chief at Wallingford and a Load OF
Mischief" at Norwich. The inn on the
Madingley road exhibits the sign in it's
original form. Though the colors are
much faded from exposure to the
weather. traces Of Hogarthian humor
can be detected. A man is staggering
under the weight of a woman, who is
on his back. She is holding a glass
of gin in her hand; a chain and pad
lock are around the mans neck, labelled
"Wedlock." On the right hand side is
the shop Of IS. GRIPPE, Pawnbroker,"
and a carpenter Is just going In to
pledge his tools.

The awful itching interfered with my

down to the s OF Cuticura Soap,

How Oregon Got Its Name.

LS Z oiSSOlllelll.
We believe it most probable that the
name of Oregon arose out of some cir
cumstance connected with Western ex-
plorations under direction of the
French. Earlier than the English, the
French had pressed on westward from
the great lakes to the Red river, to the
Saskatchewan and to the DOT Of the
Rocky mountains. They were ranging
the country of the upper Mississippi in.
search Of furs n for trade with the
natives: they were full Of curiosity and
active in inquiry about the great dis
tant west and the unknown westward
sea. OF this sea they possessed Spanish
charts and probably used among the
natives the word "Aragon' as a
synonym Of Spain. When Jonathan
Carver, OF Connecticut, was on his ex-
petition to the upper Mississippi coun-
try, in 1767-176S, ne made all possible
inquiries. he tells us, about the coun-
try oward the west, the western river
and the sea and the word "Oregon,"
and the name was written for the first
time, SO far as we know, or possibly
can ever know. in Carver's book pub
lished in London in 177S. 1t is a book of
little Importance or value, except for
the fact that 1t gives the world the
name Of Oregon, which Carver say he
got from natives in the country of the
upper Mississippi.

oriain of the Anvil.

From the Boston Globe.
The anvil was known in the earliest
times, being spoken Of in the Bible, the
prophet Isaiah saying lchapter AZ,
verse y, 80 the carpenter encouraged
the goldsmith, and he tina smootheth
with the hammer, him that smiteth
the anvil" 1t is not known who first
used it, but Of course the anvil Of an
tiquity was unlike that Of today as
perfected by modern workmanship.
The anvil still used in the Orient, how
ever, is a boot shaped piece Of metal
inserted in a section of oak or walnut
log: larger or smaller it is used by
tinsmiths, shoemakers, silversmiths
and blacksmiths. The anvils used in
this country are commonly made Of
cast iron faced with steel and are Of
parallelopiped form with a steel cone
or beak at one end and a handy hole
for inserting a chisel or other tools at
the other end.

Look Out, Mr.. Baseball Fan!

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
It looks as if the opening of the base
ball season We're a serious matter in
Norfolk, Va. Postmaster Carney Of
that city has set up in a conspicuous
place in his Office the following no
tice:
All requests for leave Of absence
on account Of ~toothache, severe colds
and minor physical ailments, and on
accoun5 of funerals, picnics, church
s~ociables and the like, must be hand
ed to the superintendent of your di-
vision before 10 o'clock on the morn
ing of the game"
There is no evidence in this that
Postmaster Carney is a cynic. He NAV
be only g humorist; at the worst. he
is probably nothing more reprehensible
a disciplinarian, and from all ap-
pearances not a very rigid one. A
Cato in his place would set down his
foot against cave of absence on base
ball days. He does nothing OF the
kind; but it is noticeable that the rule
which he promulgates gives him a
chance to lnstigate inquiry, and if the,
employees of his postofice who love
baseball more than duty are not cir.

From The Woman's Invasion" In Every
body's.
Each passing decade sees a larger and
larger share of the life OF the child trans
ferred from Individual to cooperative
Influences; in other words, transferred
from within the home to outside the
nome. We have already observed that
the same law Of development exists in
respect to certain other elements OF
home life. There has arisen a great
demand on the part OF housewives for
food already cooked.
In one Of the Chicago department
stores last e the manager of the
grocery department sold more thar
$500 900 of chicken croquets, salami
sausage, cervelat sausage, Southern
hash, mutton stew, e chops. fried
perch, fried frogs legs. combination
salad, boiled ham, peel tongue, fried
oysters. baked white fish, bologna sau-
sage, deviled crs.bs, and so on, all ready
to Eat
OF course, even 5000, 600 is a small
compared with what a city as
large as Chicago spends a year In food,
but 1t shows in which direction the ten
dency is setting. There is probably
10 times as much cooked food sold In
Chicago today as there was 10 years
ago.
All these changes tend to contract the
cor of the home, but it does not fol-
low that they tend to destroy It's vital
principle. a@+ ff

north was arrested. But the muscularly

that she was not being forced to wear

of earning a mans pay. Consequently
her father was released and Annie con-

How 70 Know Good Meat.

From the Baltimore American.
Meat should be red, with the fat a
clear white.
Pale pink denotes a diseased condi-
ton.
A purplish hue proves that the ami
NAL died a natural death.
The fat, besides being white, should
be firm and suety, and never moist.
Good meat has very little smell.
Bad meat usually gives forth a sort
of medicinal odor.
Bad meat shrinks considerably in
boiling.
Meat which is fresh and good does
not lose an ounce Of weight, but swells
rather, when being boiled.
