Orioin Of LoVinu Cup.

The loving cup found the inspiration
Of it's origin in the wild times wheE
every mans hand was raised against
his neighbor. Margaret Atheling, wife
of Malcolm of Canmore, king Of Scot
land, In order to induce Scots to re-
main for the closing grace, caused a
cup of the choicest wine to be passed
around Immediately after it had been
said. The ceremony, common at all
banquets, Of rising and bowling to the
guest on your right, he holding the
cover of the loving cup with his right
hand the while you drank, is survival
Of the days when he who drank was
glad to have the assurance that the
right hand of his neighbor did not hold
a dagger.

piece. Though no longer a national
song, it is still a national air and sec
ond only to Dixie in patriotic pOpu-
larity. For $50 years Yankee Doodle
has appealed to our people, and the
tune shows no sign of passing into
oblivion.
Many words have been spent in dis
cussing the origin Of the title of this
song, and at least sixteen separate
and distinct derlvations of the words
have been seriously set before the pub
lie. The earliest dated reference to
the tune appears in the first Ameri'
can ballad opera. The DisappOint-
ment." Philadelphia, 1867. 1t was
played in America as early as 1T6S,
for in the Journal of Transactions in
Boston, September %, 176S. We read
"The fleet was brought TO anchor neat
Castle William; that evening there
was throwing of skyrockets, and those
passing in boats Observed grgat re-
joicing and that the Yankee Doodle
song was the capital piece in the band
of music"
The earliest appearance in print of
yankee Doodle" in Europe has been
traced to James Ards "a Selection of
Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign
Airs" published in Glasgow about
1850. Mr.. SOnneck asserts that yam
kee Doodle" did not appear in print In
America until Benjamin Carr's Fed
eral Overture" a medley of patriotic
songs, including Yankee Doodle" a-1
in 1894. was published,
Adapted for the pianOforte," by B.
Carr. New York. in January, 1875.
Since then some interesting and now
rare renierings Of the piece have bes1
ssued.

Sonneck permitted a recent caller to
CLEAN from these documental data re-
garding this country's national songs
and supplemented them with some ad-
ditional verbal information.
Almost everyone knows how the stir
ring words rushed from the heart and
hand of Francis Scott Key on the early
morning of September ID, 1914, when
the English were bOmbarding, Fort Nc
Henry. Fewer, perhaps, know that
he iotted down the first rough draft Of
the song on the back of a letter as he
sailed up the PatapscO on one of the
enemy's vessels that early morning,
when he saw through the dawn's ear
" light that our flag was still there"
He completed this draft upon the
American boat which brought him to
Baltimore that evening, and later that
aight. in his hotel in Baltimore, he
made a clean copy of those jottings,
and this first fair copy of the words
Is still in existence and may yet be
seen at the Walters gallery in Balti-
more,
T On the morning after his arrival In
Baltimore Key took his poem TO his
friend and relative, Judge Joseph Hop
Der Nicholson. for his critical opinion
upon II. This was evidently favorable,
for II was Immediately printed and its

form of a sheet, or broadsice, which

Economy.

An amateur gardener Of Irvington
has learned to "have his potatoes anG
plant them, too," and his plan may afe
ford a suggestion to others who are
planting gardens in back yards and va
cant lots.
In place of cutting the potato up In
the usual way-into as many pieces as
there are eyes-the Irvingtonian
simply peels the potatoes, cutting a
little deeper where the eyes occur.
Thus the part of the potato which
clings to the peeling hanging to the eye
will afford nourishment' for he plant
until ft4takes root, and he-saNes about

RAGUSA is PLEASING TO EYE
Dalmatia's Chief City, Picture In
Whites and Grays, Has Appear
ance of Being Finished.

| Ragusa illustrates, in striking fasn-
ion, that sometimes elusive difference
in the looks of American and Euro
pean cities. Usually the differences
can be felt, when you look at Euro
pean town from nearby vantage
point and think Of American towns
| that you have looked down on from
some similar eminence; but often one
cannot put his finger on just what this
difference Is. AS you look at Ragusa
from the slopes of the hills Inland, IL
comes to you that the elusive dlstlnc-
ton consists in the fact that the
American city is growing, youthful, IN
the process of becoming, while the HUI
ropean city is finished, grown, mature
it has taken on it's final form. You
look at it and you can say, "This IS
