Tho Word "Chap."

"Chap" is simply an abbre 7iation of chapman. the merchant of former days, and is derived from the Anglo-Saxon "ceap" bargain. The word almost brings before us the loud voiced "cheap Jack" as he cries his wares in the cheaping or market. Chap seems to have come into common use at the end of the sixteenth century and is rarely mentioned in books before TOO. Johnson does not recognize it, though Steele uses it in TIP in the Spectator eff you want to sell, here is your chap'1, and it is found in Bailey's Die tionary, 1731.

Entertaining during Easter can scarcely be considered bad form when its object is to give the children juno cent pleasure. So. then the Easter rabbit and the Easter chick are fas- cinating creatures and can be used to the making of Easter favors that It seems a pity there should not be more Easter parties. If ones conscience is particularly sensitive in regard to East. er frivolities the Easter party may be held week after Easter. Charm ing favors are in the shape of large papier mache eggs mounted oD wandS q "a bbit's head peeping out of the egg aud its surface being covered with pie lures of flowers. either hand painted or of the transfer kind.

Senator JudsGn. who started this ball rolling originally, pleaded for the ac- ceptance of the report from Senator Parkers committee. which called for six reporters at S200 for the session, after offering an amendment raising the number to eleven. A somewhat lengthy debate followed. which was terminated by Senator Barnum's mo ton to place the matter at the foot of the calendar on the ground that it was too early in the session to consider it The vote on this was a tie. 15 to b but Lieutenant Governor Blakeslee broke ii in fav0r of putting the matter at the foot of the calendar.

Legislative Notes.
Friday sessiOns Prove Valuable.

The second week of four sessions ac- compIished something in the way of rrogress and there begins to be slight hope that this session viii be sbarter than the last one. which hd- iourned Aug. 24. At the same time an occurrence of the week. which had lit lie attention paid to it from this angle that is bound to lengthen the session was fhe failure of the corporations and inc representatives of the State Busi- ness Mems association to come te an agreement a on the matter of a puhhe utilities commission.
 The corporation representatives were willing to waive some of the features of the court of commerce proposition. which is the one for which the New Haven road stands, but the business mems representatives were unwilling te waive some features of the business mems bill after the conference. When rouferring they seemed to be agreeable to the compromise.
 Representatives of both sides had met with the judiciary committee and measure was framed at the con ference whs h seemed satisfactory. but later the business men informed the committee that they could not agree to commission which had only recommeudat0ry powers, somewhat after the fashion which prevails with fbe Massachusetts railroad commits sion. but must have bill with teeth fin it. This sets the whole situation with regard 10 this matter back. and there is no knowing when the report will come from the committee.
