The Thespian's Fiasco.

Among Italians. correspondent in
Rome tells me, the origin of the term
''fiasco" for failure is believed to have
originated in the remark of an old Ital-
ian actor. He had in the course of q
play to deliver a somewhat lengthy
monologue, in which he invaria bly,
scored a great success. 1t was his
habit to always hold some object or
other in his hand, changing the article
every time he appeared and never u.s.
ing the same thing twice. One even
ing, seeing wine battle Called in
Italian fiasco), he seized it and pro-
ceeded on the stage to pronounce his
soliloquy. Whether it was that on that
occasion the audience was extraordi-
narily difficult to please or whether it
was that the actor was not up to his
usual form, the fact remains that for
once he did not obtain his customary
applause, from which time the phrase
fare fiasco" has become general in
the Italian language.-London Chron.

He Used His Head.

In the American Magazine Charles
NJ. Schwab says:
Andrew Carnegie first attracted at.
tention by using his head to think
with. 1t was when he was telegraph
operator on the Pennsylvania railroad
under Colonel Thomas A. Scott. One
morning a series of wrecks tangled up
the line. Colonel Scott was absent and
young Carnegie could not locate him.
Things looked bad.
Fright then Carnegie disregarded one
of the roads strictest rules and sent
out dozen kilograms signed with
Colonel SCOTS name, givVg orders that
would clear the blockade.
Young man. said the superintend-
ent a few hours later, do you realize
that you have broken this company's
rulesT
"'Well, Mr.. Scott, aren't your tracks
clear and your trains running? asked
the young telegrapher.
Colonel SCOTS punishment was to
make Carnegie his private secretary.
A few years later, when the colonel re-
tired from office, he was succeeded by
the former telegraph operator, then
only twenty-eight years old"

Local THANKSGIVING Days.

The practice of having local Thanks.
giving days has prevailed to somo eX.
tent in America. On Oct. 10, 1914. the
mayor of Baltimore, upon the sugges.
ton of the city pastors, appointed the
following Thursday Ito be observed as
Il day of Thanksgiving to the Adorable
Disposer of all human events on &c.
count of our recent deliverance from
the British fleet and army" That was
for the escape of Baltimore after the
attack on Washington in 1914. A few
months later the newspapers stated
that both houses Of the Ohio legisla
ture on Wednesday, the Sth day of
February, pursuant to resolution pre-
viously adopted. moved In procession
to the Presbyterian meeting house in
Chillicothe and rendered public thanks
to Almighty God for granting such bril-
liant success to our arms at New Or
Leans in the recent victories obtained
ly General Jackson and his compatri-
Ots." Chillicothe Mt that time was the
capital of Ohio.

morrow aunts, uncles, cousins,
grandparents and all relations
would come and spend the day with
Mr.. and Mrs. Churchwell and little
Florence. Mrs. Churchwell was the
oldest daughter of Grandma Grey, and
for that reason all the relatives spent
the eventful day at her house,
Florence was a sweet little girl,
much loved by all, and now that she
had only one day TO wait before the
reunion Of the family she was in great
excitement. OF course 1t was Florence
who on the following day, had to help
Nora set the table, and it was Flor
ence who had to taste the candy to see
If 1t was sweet enough.
At 10 O'clock the next morning the
family started to arrive and kept on
coming until noon. Florence all this
time was much fondled and petted,
and Cousin Ned declared that there
would be no Florence left If the hug
ging did not stop.
Games were played, songs were
sung, and all was fun and merriment.

VIVID picture OF the Rouma-
~ MAN peasantry, whose coun-
~ try has been drawn into the
destructive vortex of the Eu-
ropean war, is presented in a commu-
nication to the National Geographic
society from James Howard Gore. He
says:
A Roumanian village looks it's best
in the spring, when nature, awakened
from the sleep of winter, is green and
fresh. At Easter the cottages have
been whitewashed and the doors and
window frames freshly painted in
bright colors. The matched roof has
been put in order, and In its entirety
the cottage calls to mind the black-eyed
country girls, with their glistening
strings of multi-cOlOred beads around
their necks.
The Roumanian peasant women one
meets by the roadside are the fairest
natural gift is most apparent under
conditions which are calculated to en-
nance it. Their dress Is varied and
elaborate The foundation is sort of
shift reaching to the ankle, the upper
part embroidered with colored cotton,
usually red or black. Over this is
petticoat which, in it's material and de-
tail, reflects the taste and buying pow
er of the wearer. On her head the
peasant woman wears scarf Of cotton
xxvs@ r,i1 IL ctr means
permit, and ON gala occasions she puts
on q brighter kerchief ornamented
with fringe or row OF spangies.
Both men and women seem partial TO
having their heads covered, even IN
the house; but it is not regarded prop
er to eat without removing the hat.
In no part of Europe do the peasants
hold so tenaciously to their distinctive
costume as in the uplands OF Rouma-
MIA. 1t is, in fact, almost an asset In
nationalism. and its unifying influence
was emphasized some years ago by the
late dOwager queen, widely known us
Carmen sylvia. when she herself put
on the native dress.
