Tho Cauiihower.

OF the word "caulihower" writ
er in the London Chronicle says:
"The modern spelling is artificial,
and if we were to write it as we pro-
nounce it, 'collyfower,' we should
be taking step back in the natural
direction. 'ColeAorye,' as they spell
ed it in the sixteenth century,
brings out the true meaning of the
vegetables name-'aowered cab
bage'-fcole' being an old word for
cabbage and 'forye' representing
the French tflori,' or theuri,' flow
cred. But because in Latin it was
called fcaulifora' it began to be
written 'colieforie' or 'collyAorie' in
English, probably by deliberate as
similation to the. Latin, and even
tually even to be written 'cauli,'
though still pronounced 'colly.'
Meanwhile the second part of the
word got popularly corrupted to
flower"

A Mother of Queens,

When Charles l. was king of Eng
land a country girl came to London
in search of situation and applied
for the position of club woman. =.
or carrier of beer at a brew house.
The brewer, struck by her good
looks, married her. In a short
time he died, leaving her a large
fortune. She gave up the brewery
and for the proper settlement Of
her husbands affairs was recon-
mended to Mr.. Hyde, q rising young
barrister, whom she afterward mar
ried. This gentleman ultimately be-
came Earl of Clarendon, and from
his marriage with her he had one
daughter, who became the wife of
James II. and mother of Mary and
Anne, both subsequently queens of
England.

Little Economies.

'1 once made up my mind" said
a London man, ''that ] would be-
come the possessor Of a good gold
watch. I saved up the money for it
in this way: When l felt like eat
ing a shilling luncheon, as l often
did, I kept it down to tenpence. l
put the twopencesa saved toward my
watch fund. You will hardly be-
ieve me, but with little economics
like this l had in less than six
months saved enough to buy my
gold watch" 'tBut,"' said listener,
"where is your gold watch? You
are wearing a poor little gun metal
thing" "Well," was the reply,
"when / found how easily I could
get along without shilling lunch
cons l concluded / could get along
with ten shilling watch instead of
a ten pound one. So that the watch
fund grew until it purchased for me
my own house" ."-London Mail.

Didn'H Depend Upon Noah.

Highlanders cling so tenaciously
to the honors and antiquity Of their
kindred as to be amusing to others.
One day a Campbell and a Mclean
disputed, and the latter insisted
that his family was in existence as
a clan from the beginning of the
world. Campbell asked quizzically
if the clan Mclean lived before the
food that drowned all the world
but Noah and his family.
"Poohw said Mclean. "My clan
was before the food"
II have not read anywhere" OBJ
served Campbell, "of any one OF the
name of Mclean going into Noah's
ark"
"Noah's ark" retorted Mclean,
in contempt. "Who ever heard of a
Mclean that did not have boat of
his own?"

A Scots Strategy.

Sandy MacDougal was a Draw lad
of twelve. One day he fell off the
roof and broke his leg. His parents
carried him ben the hoose and
stretchit him on the bed, where
he groaned and graf while the doc
tor was sent for, When the doctor
came Sandy didna want him to
touch his leg for fear it would hurt.
But the doctor explained that it
maun be done.
"Whilk leg is it, Sandy, lad?"
speired the doctor.
"This ane," whined Sandy.
The doctor seized the ankle, pit
his fut in Sandy's oxter and gied
the leg sic yerk that the lad was
nigh pu'ed in twa. He yammert
like a boggle. Then the doctor pit
on a bit of bandage and went ava.
'Did it hurt, laddie" asked the
auld feyther.
'Nae sac muckle as it micht," !"
answered the lad, grinning. Il
wasna sic a fule as to gle him ma

SALONIKI THE CONTINUOUS.
It May Be Called the Eternal City OF
the Near East.

The city we now call Saloniki has
had a continuous history for more
than $500 years Even before 1t
was refounded and renamed by
Alexander the Great, in the year
3l5 B. G., d city had existed on this
beautiful gulf, facing mighty Mount
Olympus. But its known history
dates from this year, when Alexan-
der rebuilt it and called it Thessa-
lonica after his sister, the wife Of
Cassander. 1t is said that Philip Of
Macedon named his daughter The>-
salonica because on the day he
heard of her birth he won Il victory
over the Ehessalians. Thus the VIC
tory of Philip and the name Of his
daughter, the half sister Of the con-
queror of the world, are all en-
balmed in the name of the city.
1t was a great city, its harbor full
of shipping, its houses rising in
tiers one above another from the
edge of the water to the summit Of
the acropolis behind the city and
around all white wall five miles in
extent. Through the heart of the
city stretched forth the great artery
of trade, the Egnatian way. At the
eastern end it passed under mag
nifcent marble arch, which was
built in honor of the victory of Oc-
tavius and Antony over Brutus and
Cassius in the battle that took place
in the plains of Philippi.
Fortunately for Thessalonica, she
had sided with the monarchists
against the republicans in this bat
tie, and when it was over both An
tony and Caesar visited the city and
commemorated their triumph by
erecting the arch of victory, which
remains to this day. Under this
archway doubtless Paul and Silas
passed many times during their
somewhat lengthy stay in the city.
1t has been my privilege more
than once to visit Saloniki, to en-
ter it from the sea as one jour
neys from Athens and to leave by
the route which Paul entered it on
his first visit. 1t is interesting to
note the characteristics of the city,
which are the same now as in PauPs
time, as well as the changes which
the centuries have wrought.--Chris-
tian Herald.

"Naminan a Member,

It is an ancient belief that q
mans name has some mysterious
sympathy with his nature, whence
arise such stories as that of Rum
pelstiltskin, whose power ever a hu-
man being vanishes the moment
that his name is pronounced aloud.
1t has been suggested with some
show of reason that the modern
practice of naming" a refractory
member of the British house OF
commons is merely a survival Of
this belief, which the Norsemen
brought into England.

Bamboo In the Orient.

Bamboo, one of the most provi-
dent gifts of nature to people, is
put to SO many uses by the natives
of the tropics, especially in the
orient, that it is difficult to see how
they could live without it. Among
the principal uses to which it is
put may be set down: Building
houses, furniture of all kinds, cas-
ing of artesian wells, water buckets,
RATS, pipes, window shades and
blinds, mats, umbrella ribs, hats,
raincoats, outrigger on native
prows, cover for junks, palanquin
poles, blowpipes, picture frames,
decorativepurposes,i including paint
ings; paper and paper pulp, baskets,
small bridges, walking sticks and
flutes.

DEEP SEA WONDERS.
Life Where Light, Sound Nor Change
of Any Kind Can Enter.

What happens in those impene-
trable deoths Of the ocean where 1t
is four and five miles deep? What
manner of life do their weird deni-
zens lead? Some of the conditions
have been conjectured by Mr.. 2. l..
Lowe in "a Naturalist on Desert
Islands,"
"The creatures of these neither
most depths brood forever in the
appalling silence of uttermost
night, preying one upon another IN
constant carnivorous strife, living
under a pressure that is almost in
conceivable and in temperature so
low that it actually seems to defy
the possibility of organic life.
every hour of their life, every
day, every year, is passed in the
same stagnation of hideous change
lessness in circumstances of almost
absolute uniformity. For them
there is no night; there are no sea-
sons; there is no sun, no moon;
there are no changes from warmth
to cold or from cold to warmth.
We cannot even conceive that there
is anything in the nature of sound.
There is absolutely nothing to mark
the flight of time.
"The great cold of the bottom
water of the ocean is best brought
home to those who have examined
the contents of a haul of the trawl.
The bottom ooze is intensely cold,
and it is a strange sensation, while
your back is broiling beneath
tropical sun, to have your hand
nearly frozen off by the stiff cold
mud or ooze that you are compelled
to handle while sorting the contents
of the trawl.
"The pressure at depth Of 1854
feet amounts to nearly two tons to
the square inch. We ourselves, liv-
ing at ordinary levels, are subjected
to a constant pressure of nearly fif-
teen pounds on every square inch of
our bodies. We can calculate, but
only feebly conceive, what the pres
sure must be at the bottom of those
abysses.
"Take again the question OF
light. Photographic plates LET

Geneva showed that at depth of
SO feet the effect on the plates was
no more than that which would be
produced on a dark, moonless night.
Similar results in the Mediterra-
mean, whose waters are unusually
clear, were reached at depth of
1900 feet, so that we may conclude
that in general at any depth below
this & profound darkness exists.
This complete absence of sunlight
at once puts out of account the pos
sibility of plant life. And this all
important factor in the economy of
animal life, human or otherwise, at
once raises the question, How do
deep sea animals ultimately live"

The Hessians Played.

It is a matter of record that upon
the first official celebration of Inde-
pendence day by the Continental
congress music was secured for the
occasion by forcing the Hessian
band, which had been captured by
George Washington at Trenton in
the previous December, to play in
the public square all day, to the
great delight and amusement of the
people. 1t is also stated that these
Involuntary celebrants were obliged
to practice appropriate airs for three
weeks previously in order that they
could not plead ignorance as an ex-
cuse.

UneompIimentary Husba nds.

In China the wife is seldom men
toned by her husband, but when he
does mention her it is always in
some roundabout way. He has some
name that he calls her in his howery
language which takes the place Of
the word "wife." One man calls
his wife "my hand the Clothes" an
other calls her "my dull compan-
ion," another "my thorn in the
ribs" another describes her as "the
mean one of the inner rooms"

Gold Horseshoes In oIden Times.

Roman writer's inform us that
Commodus caused the hoofs of his
horses to be covered with gold leaf
and even the fetlocks to be gilded.
Nero's short journeys were invari-
ably performed on white mules
wearing gold shoes on their fore
feet and silver behind. The beasts
which drew the chariots of his wife,
Poppae, were shod all around with
gold. Several others among the
dignitaries and potentates of the
riotous days of the Roman empire
shod their horses with gold and
used the same material for bride
bits, buckles, spurs, etc.
