ORIGIN OF BLACKMAIL.
The Term Was Born Of Outlawry On
the Scottish Border.

The Term Was Born OF OutIaWry On
the Scottish Border.
The etymology Of the expression
"blackmail'' is historically interesting.
1t appears to have it's origin on the
Scottish border and dating from times
when frequent political feuds between
the then two kingdoms Of the British
islands tacitly justified a sort Of per.
ennial terrestrial buccaneering as be-
tween borderers Of each realm.
Many of these were outla VS. on both
sides Of the border. Their neighbor-
ing victims to save their cattle from
being lifted sometimes compounded for
safety by an annual payment as insur-
ance to the bandits. This fee not only
gave them immunity. but entaiIed
them to protect them from rival free
hooters. 1t was their mail" or PRO
lection" The mail" coach was 50
named because it had its armed guard
with loaded blunderbuss on the dickey.
But the mail paid by border farmers
was not for honest royal protection.
but for guardianship by thieves. and
hence was ''black" mail, the color Of
black being typical Of what was meta.
rious. whether in art or In guardian

was known as the 'blackguard" of the

0 n BURN R0UGHAoE.

Expensive and Wastsfui Practice With
Constable, Straw, CHAT, Etc.
A contributor to Farm and Freside
writes:
"A tendency exists among many
farmers to burn up all cornstalks, loose
straw, clover chan and superfluous
roughage about the place. But It is
too expensive.
Every time an acre Of stalks is
burned twenty-one pounds of nitrogen
90 into the air, and 1t will cost you
$3.50 to buy it back again. Wheat or
oat straw from an acre contains about
twelve to fourteen pounds of nitrogen
and clover char three times this
amount.
Zone can easily figure from these
deductions what a reckless loss to the
farm is a fire in the chat pile or stalk
deld. The cutaway and disk harrows
will chop these bulky materials up

turned under. II you want to fatten

Marry and Part For a Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people Of Central
America is that of parting for n year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the JarnOs from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtship allowed to
be carried ON between the parties prior
to the wedding. When a man selects
4 woman he obtains the consent Of the
parents on both sides, and il this Is
given they are at ono married. The
reason, however, for their not living
together as man and wife for n year
after marriage Is in order to permit OF
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends in different
parts Of the country, which 10 a Gus
tomary thing and occupies the time
specified. Ninety-nine out of a hun.
dred Of these marriages turn out well.

When the King Of Rome Cried.
Many mothers might take q lesson
to heart from the following incident.
narrated by one Of Napoleon's biog-

Il His little son. the famous king Of
Rome-L'Aiglon, whom Mauds Adams
portrayed as q young boy a few years
ago-was hardly more than 9 baby.
He was In charge Of a lady 4otshish

addition to gentle birth this wo1aan
possessed a true love and thorough
sympathy for children. She under

body else did. and in return for her
affection and kindness he grew very
fond Of her.
One day be began to cry. pettishly
and rebelliously, and would not stop.
The lady ordered the windows closed.
the curtains drawn and the candles
lighted.
The child looked on in wonder.
What are you doing7r, he finally
asked.
IT am closing the windows 50 that

that their little prince cries." said the
lady.
The little prince ran to her impul-

which be had been taught. And he
forthwith stopped crying.
His y%overness understood that an
appeal to u child's sense of honor will
have more effect than all the scolding
or reasoning In the world. Most moth
ers, although their children are not
princes. could at least suggest to their
| children that the neighbors in want OF
subjects would hear the crying. An

New York, April 22.-Skirts continue
to be narrow at the ankles, according
to the decree of the fashion rulers
but one can retain this effect and still
have comparative ease in walking
This is done by draping the skirt sc
as to give fullness at the knees, and
then introducing foot pleats at the
hem.
The idea that in order to walk easily
one must have very wide skirt is
exploded anyway. Such skirts have a
disagreeable habit of wrapping them
selves around the knees and ankles,
sometimes actually bringing the wear
81 to standstill. A skirt two yards
in Width allows a step of average
length and does not have superfiuous
material in which to become entapgled,
II one wants more room it may be
comforting to remember that groups
of side pleats are introduced in many
of the Paris models. American women,
however, though they admit that these
pleats give ease In walking, do not
seem inclined to accept them this
season, except for short chiffon skirts.
These are generally made Of solid
side pleating, with a very narrow I'M
derskirt; so narrow, in fact, that it
is absolutely necessary to have it
slashed.
Long Russian blouses of chiffon or
crepe are being shown with many
models. These, too, are generally
side pleated, either entirely so or sim

main fashionable until very late
Spring. Not the big, heavy pieces, it
is true, but stoles and NUTS that so
soften and enhance any toilette.
Everything in the way Of covering
is short and bobbed OF this season.
The Winter coats were rounded and
abbreviated, giving little protection
against the elements, but they were
coquettish AID girlish, virtues which
recommended them. The coates
which appeared at the Spring openings
were shorter still, being only an ex-
cuse for a covering. In fact, many Of
the coates cover one only as far as
the waist line. A few reach below,
but only very few. The pattern for
the new cut is generous, for the
coatee is supposed merely to drape
the figure, to give only the latest
outline Of the form.
The separate motif of black Brussels

Bulgarian colors of red, blue and
green, is invaluable in supplying a
