NAMING a Famous Dish,

II you ore a gourmet you like lob
ster. The man who made lobster a Ia
Newburg famous refused to have his
name go with it. He gave Delmonico
the recipe and Del gave the deljcacy
the name it bears today. while that of
the benefactor is never heard outside
OF the little circle in which he lived.
Well, the creator of the dish was
Benjamin WenburS. a New York bro
ker. He used to take his luncheons at
Delmonico's downtown place. not many
blocks from the Battery. When he told
Del how to make lobster n In Newburg
1t had no name then-Del put it on
bis bill and called it lobster a la Wen
burg.
Wenburg got angry about it and told
DelmonicO if he didn't remove his
name he would feed elsewhere. The
big caterer reversed the first syllable,
and the title has been what you have
been accustomed to see ever since

Sharks as Swimmers.

One i'll service nature has done the
shark-namely, that Of placing a TRAN
gular fin on his back, which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning Of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware of this popularity, for had
he been so he would unquestionably
abandon his habit Of swimming close
to the surface Of the water and would
In that case be enabled to approach
his victim unobserved. The shark is a
slow swimmer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dolphin
from the shark" But Byron was a
poet and does not appear to have been
a close observer Of the habits Of in
habitants of the water or he would
have known that a shark would have
no more chance Of catching q dolphin
than a sheep would Of overhauling a
hare.

Sacrificed Hia Own Life.

During the war Of the Revolution
two British soldiers Of the army Of
CORVALLIS went into house and abus-
ed the inmates In a most cruel and
shameful manner. A third soldier, 60
ing into the house, met them coming
out and recognized them. The inmates
acquitted him of all blame, but he was
imprisoned because he refused to dis
close the names Of the offenders. Ev-
cry persuasion was tried, but In vain,
and at length he was condemned by
court martial to die. When he was
on the gallows Lord CORVALLIS, sur
prised by his obstinacy, rode up to him,
saying: Campbell, what fool you are
to die thus! Disclose the names Of the
guilty men and you shall be immedi-
ately released; otherwise you have not
fifteen minutes to live"

paign, my lord" replied Campbell.

Flowers and Leaves.

Flowers are produced by the sacri-
fee Of stem and leaves. which subordi-
nate their own functions to the making
OF seed to carry on the species. In the
late summer time. when plants have
Powered and set their seed. the leaf

In many instances becomes so strong
that the miracle of its self sacrifice Is
revealed. One often sees roses. after

the axis of the aborted stem grows
right out from the middle and bears a
small secondary rosebud. This Sec
ondary rose is generally smothered in
q calyx more like n conglomeration Of
leaves than any ordinary calyx. the
calyx showing strong tendency to
revert to the leaf form.-Edinburgh

A Phrase Exclaimed.

Medicus tells US that It makes him
mad whenever he sees some writer US
ing the old southern phrase the spit
an image" without showing any knowl-
edge of what it means. Medicus says
that he has even seen 1t spelled thus:
"The spittin' image" So we have seen
In the works of an English novelist:
Hes the spit and image of his IA
ther. as they say in America"
And an American short story writer
makes a negro character say:
"Yassuh. He's de spittin' image of
his ma"
The phrase was originally 1.-The spirit
and image" explains Medicus. OF
course that means that one person Is
both mentally and physically like an
other. Southern people are careless
about their RS. so the phrase became
"the spit an image and 1.-The spittin'
image."-Louisville COurier-Journal.

Stupendous Surnames.

The bearers of some of the surnames
which appear in medieval documents
must have been glad Of an excuse to
change them. Apparently this was
done, for the more grotesque have
either vanished or have been modified
out Of recognition. Among the former
are such names as Alice Thepunders-
stepdoghtre. Mazelina Stabwourchman,
Frethesanccia Del COuntynghouse,
Godisman Attestretesende and Thomas
WrangwiSshe. which certainly have no
claimants nowadays.
Many surnames derived from trade
or service have been contracted, such
as lie Lindraper into Draper, LIE Cou-
hirde into Coward. lie Chapelayn into

Good manners, like the gold at the

Of palaces and fortunes wherever he

or own them; they solicit him to enter
and possess"
"An your Greek" Chesterfield wrote
to his son, ''can never advance you
from secretary to envoy or from envoy
