Tho Voyder.

The yOyder was large dish In
which were collected the broken Wet

table with a large knife with broad,
fat blade, called the yoyder knife,

"The Boke Of Nurture" by Hugh
Rhodes, the date Of which is 1877, one

Of these vessels as follows: "See We

SOME WORD ORIGINS.
Hurrsh Comes From the Old Battlecry
of the Vikings.

Rah, the final syllable of most col
lege yells, Is, OF course. short for bur-
rah. The word hurrah itself comes
from the old battlecry of the ancient
vikings - namely, Tur Ale, which
means God aid. There is another form,
huzza. which comes from hosanna.
This was the old cry Of the crusaders.
The word yes comes directly through
the Norman French 0yez. which means
near. In it's old form il is still
used by beadles and certain municipal
officials In civic functions In England
and also by the royal heralGs in pro
claiming the succession Of soyerelgns
TO the throne. No Is purely Norman
French and comes from The Latin
non ita. meaning not so. The real
Anglo-Saxon was nay. just as the An
glo-Saxon affirmative was yea. The
word mister is directly from the Latin
maglster, meaning master. Mrs. Is
from the word mistress, and formerly,
as late as the eighteenth century. all
unmarried women were given the tile
Of mistress-as, for example, Mijtrcss
Sophia Western in TON Jones" Els
quire is derived from the old Norman
French escuyer, which means shield
bearer. Every knight Of the shire had
his shield bearer, and the honor or
carrying the shield was supposed to
confer gentllity npon the follower. The
word gentleman until the middle of the
seventeenth century meant, as the
present French word gentilhomme, o
nobleman, nothing less, and no man
was a gentleman who was not entitled
to "bear arrns."-New York World.

Types of Female Beauty.

In northern Europe, among the Teu-
tonic races, there are distinct types of
beauty to be met with in Sweden, Po-
land, Saxony and Austria. The Sved'
ish type. however, lacks animation, but
the mold and figure to some extent
atone for this, says the London Globe.
The Austrian women possess a COM
posite beauty In which are united the
charms of three or four races. Vienna
ladies are tall and stately. with great
harmony and proportion in feature and
figure. The Tyrolese maiden often
lacks q good figure, but her face and
manner possess all that Is most be-
witching in the two races Of which she
is composed, Latin and Germanlc.

who shall be in attendance upon the
annual meet of Oct. rs and rs, to

is chairman of the entertainment
committee?
No doubt the District committees
are preparing their reports, which are
required to be submitted in writing,
and after being given in connection
will be placed on file with the secre-
tary.
The helpfulness of the meeting in
our district work depends in large
measure upon the faithfulness of
these reports. These are really OF

work of individual clubs, because
each club works Independently Of all
other clubs to certain degree put

these committees. Each member
awaits the movement and leadership
Of the chairman Of committee, SO 1t
is important that each chairman real
