Black and White Pepper.

"It has always amused me-" re-
marked a botanical expert, "to hear
people talking of their preference
for black pepper over white and
the various explanations they give
for the same. Little do they know
that both black and white pepper
grows upon the same shrub. Over
the pepper seed grows a black COW
ering. The seed itself is white, or
nearly so. To make black pepper
the seed and its external covering
are ground up, while the white pep
per is the seed alone ground up.
White pepper is milder than black,
the greater part of the pungency
being in the covering. A pepper
made of the covering alone would
be such, to use a slang term, hot
stuff that it would burn the mouth.
The black covering Of the pepper
seed contains the oil"

NAMES OF CITIES.
With Some FIippant Comments on the
Seniors and Juniors.

Seniors and Juniors.
One might naturally suppose
that New York, for SO many years
the dominant city of the United
States, would have some namesakes
among the numerous towns which
have come into being all over the
country during the last half cen
tury, but the fact is that there is
not one town in all the United
States named for New York, the
daddy Of them all, 50 to say.
Maybe somebody can say why this
is, but | cannot, though | am sure
not few New Workers have had a
hand in starting new towns in vari-
GUS states. Our next door neighbor,
Philadelphia, as slow as it is alleged
to be, beats us out, for there are six
Philadelphias scattered about, and
Boston, grand old Boston, has elev-
en- namesakes. Even Brooklyn puts
it all over New York, for there are
fifteen Brooklyns on the map, which
shows that whatever New Workers
may think Of Brooklyn, Brooklyn
ties think more of Brooklyn than
New Workers think of New York
when they 60 away from their home
cities to start new ones.
San Francisco and New Orleans
are no better represented than New
York, while Chicago and Baltimore
have only one namesake apiece,
though to hear Chicago one would
imagine that every other new town
in the country had been named aft
er it. Chicago has nothing what
ever on St. Louis in the matter Of
accumulating namesakes-one, only
one, each, and the only equality
that Chicago is bound to admit.
Pittsburgh has as many name
sakes as Boston, eleven, but all Of
them combined haven't as much
money as Pittsburgh, and the same
might be said of Boston's name
sakes in regard to brains, though
far be it from me to say it. Wash
ington heads the list in the number
Of namesakes, twenty-eight, but it
is not the capital SO much as it is
the immortal George which carries
in this case.
Cleveland is only one short of
Washington, and why there should
be twenty-six Clevelands in this
country in addition to the one in
Ohio | don't know. / fancy some OF
them were named in honor of Presi-
dent Cleveland, as every president
gets at least one or two postoffices
named after him as a reminder of
what he is to postmasters. Cincin-
natl is a smoothly sibilant name,
and Cincinnati used to be quite a
place, but it has only two name
sakes, the same as Milwaukee, which
is famous in other respects than its
namesakes.-W. j. hampton in New
York Sun.

Uncle Eli felt he knew the me-

Susan with him ION the fourth trip
he naturally assumed the role OF

She marveled at everything until
they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Hotel Astor for
that meal, but all its other marvels
seemed lost on the visiting country
hostess as she looked open eyed at
the crowds that filled not only the
corridors, but the restaurants.
Scarcely had they found seats when
this amazement took definite shape.

WeIIinaton,s Black Trousers.

Knee breeches survived in fash
ionable quarters until well into the
last century. They were ultimately
displaced by trousers, but the trou-
ser on its first appearance was a
tight fitting garment-a sort Of ex-
tension of the breeches from the
knee to the ankle. Mr.. J. G. Wright
tells us in his book, "Phe Good Old
Times" that the Duke of We'll
lington was refused admission to
Almack's in 1914 because he wore
black trousers instead of breeches
and silk stockings, but it would APP
pear from a later reference that
trousers were admitted to those
fashionable assembly rooms in King
street, st. James, in the course of
the following year.-London 0pin-
ion.

Well pruaaed.

A doctor was summoned to a po-
lice station to examine an uncon-
scious prisoner. The prisoner, very
muddy and disheveled, lay on the
floor of the cell. The physician
bent over and examined him, and
then, rising, said in a loud, stern
voice:
"This mans condition is not due
to drink. He has been drugged."
A policeman turned pale and said
in a timid, hesitating voice:
I'm afraid ye're right, sir, l
drugged him all the way-a matter
of a hundred yards or more. y

Little Mary's father had been
teaching her to walk properly.
"Walk slowly and turn out your
toes" he admonished her.
While she was undergoing this
teaching she attended Sunday
school one day. The golden text
was, 'Teach me to walk honestly"
After reciting it several times the
teacher asked:
"Who knows what that means ?"
