HOW SOME WORDS ORIGINATE
Construction Of Language a. Much q
Piece Of Carpentry as Building
OF Ordinary House.

Word building Is as much a piece OF
carpentry as is house building. Only II
takes longer. Sometimes century or
more. And by that time the words
first meaning is usually changed.
For example. the old word for
''neighbor" was "slb."' ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib." This became shortened to god
slb." and later to gossip" Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good nelghbor.
but applied to the sort OF talk ex-
changed between good noighbors.
Take the word farmer" too. The
Old word for farmer" was Door"
tAnd "boor" later was used for de.
scribing farmerllke or rough persons.)
The farmer living nearest to one was
known as the 'nighboor," and this
phrase, In course OF time, was twist
ed to 'neighbOr."
You've heard the proverb. Little
pitchers have big ears" Well. It
doesn't refer to the utensll that holds
water or goes to the corner side door.
Pitcher" was q slang term with
some such meaning as our word
chap" or fellow" Thus, Little fell
lows have big ears" is a more sensi.

WASTE IN VEGETABLES
GOOD QUALITIES LOST DURING
PROCESS OF BOILING.
Considerable Food Value Retained
When steamlng 10 Substituted for
the Present General Method Of
Preparation for Table.

II we stop to think about II, as many
of-us do, It will be seen that our usual
methods OF preparing vegetables are
somewhat wasteful. The vegetables
are those foods which give us more
salts and mineral extracts, iron, ETC.,
than possibly any other kind OF food.
These extracts are dissolved In wa
ter and, consequently, when we cook
our vegetables in a large quantity Of
water, and then throw It away. we
lose much, IL not most, Of these valIi'
able food materials.
A recent investigation along this
line has brought out these interesting
facts: that a great deal OF the most
valuable part of the potato is lost BY
pairing, or laying the pared potatoes
In water for some time; spinach, cab
bage and carrots were boiled and
steamed and the various differences
noted.
Spinach lost about 80 per cent. Of
mineral matter by boiling, only 0 per
cent. when steamed.
Cabbage lost AZ per cent. when
boiled, only IL per cent. by steaming.
Carrots lost only Z per cent. when
cut up, but II per cent. when boiled
whole.
Potatoes showed a gain Of Is per
cent. when boiled In their Jackets. as
compared to peeling and then boil
ing.
Besides these losses OF nutrients
there was found to be decided loss
in the waste made by peeling both the
carrots and potatoes.
Since then 1t has been found that
our boiling methods are very waste
full. / know they are fueltaking and
timetaking when we scrape every root
vegetable as we do, declares a writer
In the Chicago Inter Ocean. II steam
ing has been found to be the better
way, we should try and steam as much
as possible. Several :. improved
steamers are on the market which per-
nit several foods to be cooked over
one burner. II we know that steam
ing ia more economical of the foods,
and OF the fuel also, why do We not
steam more and boil less?

CHINESE FIRST TO USE TEA
'iEow the Custom Originated 10 Told
In Legend Dating 1000 Years Be-
fore Coming Of Christ.

The Chinese claim to be the hrst
users of tea as a drink, and how II
originated IL told In pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming of Christ.
A daughter Of then reigning SOW
erelgn fell In love with a young noble
man whose humble birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man.
aged to exchange glances, and ne oc-
casionally gathered few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man en-
deayored to give her q few flowers;
hut 80 keen was the watchfulness OF
her attendants all she could grasp was
q little twlg with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
ltwig In water. and towards evening
she drank the water in which the
twig had been kept. So agreeable
was the taste that she even ate the
leaves and stalks. Every day after
wards she had. lunches OF the tea
tree brought her, which she treated
in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
Of flattery, the ladies Of the court tried
the experiment and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became q
faIt aecompli. y

In Handling Mating.

Pieces Of mating to look smooth
when placed on the floor should be
matched and lightly stitched together
with strong waxed thread. Get a
curved upholstery needle, as 1t sews
more easily than a straight needle.
It is best to tack the mating in the
center at one side, then outward to
each end to. get II tight along the
edge. While a carpet stretcher must
be used to get the mating tight, one
must be very careful not to break the
material. Tacks can be used when
stretcher must be used to get the mat
ting along the seams to hold 1t in
place while fastening the ends, but
they should be removed after the mat
ting is down.
