"FIASc0" IS ITALIAN TERM
Believed % Have Originated When
Actor Failed 70 Score In De-
livery Of Paverite soliIoquy.

Among Italians, a correspondent in
Rome tells me, the origin Of the term
"nasco" for failure Is believed to have
originated In the remark Of an old
Italian actor, says writer In the Lon
don Chronicle. He had in the course
Of play to deliver a somewhat
lengthy monologue, in which he invar
lably scored q great success. It was
his habit to always hold some object
or other in his hand, changing the ar
ticle every time he appeared, and
never using tho same thing twice.
One evening, seeing a wine bottle
(called In Italian flasco), he seized it
and proceeded on the stage to pro-
nounce his soliloquy. Whether 1t was
that on that occasion the audience was
extraordinarily 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 OBJ
tain his customary applause and IBIS"
from which time the phrase fare
fasco" has become general In the Ital
Ian language.

UsIns The Scrub Palmetto.

product throughout Florida, the scrub
palmetto IS now being developed into
an asset Of great possibilities. Not
only has II been discovered that paper
Of good quality can be rnade from It,
but the manufacture OF carpets. mat.
tings, twines. rope and burlap from the
plant is already al industry OF high
standing In the state. Only the green
leaf. or fan, Is used. Claim IL made
that the palmetto leaves when shred
ded and spun are very much tougher
than the grass now used for mattings
The green leaves are fed just as they
are cut into the shredding and spinning
machines. and in three minutes they
come out in twine This avoids the
discolorations and losses Occasioned in
drying, storing and handling grasses
commonly used for mating. Palmetto
can be cut every day in the year and

GROWING Gr1nea.

Grapes will grow almost anywhere
and are sure to bear. Grapes can be
trained on trellises close to fences OF
to outbuildings. Spring is the best
time to plant. using either one or two
year old vines. Frequently cultivation
during summer will improve the fruit
Wood ashes make good fertilizer
for grapes, and half a bushel to the
vine will rot be too much.
No pruning will lie required the first
season. but the second season cut back
the strongest canes to three or four
buds and remove all others.

There Is something sad about n wed
ding. The young groom is leaving a
home in which he always has had his
way and is going into one in which he
never will have his way. Although his
parents do not go through the formal
ity Of giving him away at the altar,
they know well enough that In few
minutes he will be a son-in-law to an
other woman. while to them he Is moth
ing but son. There he comes, with
another man holding to his arm. 1t
looks as II he might have made an at
tempt to escape and that the strong

him back. He is as happy as he Is
nervous and so trustful that be has no
fear for the future.-Claude Callan in

We are continually reading in the
newspapers that various battleships
have been completed, launched and for
how long they have been commission
ed. There are probably few people,
however. who know how long a bat
tleship lasts. The average life of q
modern battleship Is about fifteen
years. In the old days a battleship
was OH active service nearly the whole

about hundred years.

The bill appropriating 100000 for
the construction of additional buildings
for the Oklahoma College for Women,
introduced in the senate by Senator
Thos. ]. O'Neill and piloted through
the house by Representatives Bert
jackson and Ed Sheegog, is now ready
for the governor to affix his signature,
according to word brought form the
state capital Monday evening by Alger
Melton.
The senate bill was unanimously
passed by the house Saturday after
noon, with an amendment. The origi-
nal bill provided that the appropriation
should come out of the general fund
but the house modified the measure to
make the money come out of the pub
lie buiIdin@ fund. The senate yester-
day afternoon concurred in the house
amendment and the presiding officer
signed the bill. leaving nothing lack
ing to make it a law except the approy-
al of the executive. That Gov. Will
liams VII sign the bill is certain since
he recommended it in the precise form
in which it was passed.
1t will be up to the state board of af-
fairs to decide exactly how the appro-
priation is to be spent, under the lin
itations fixed by the bill. It is known,
however that the building plans call
for more dormitory room and for the
erection of a building for the fine arts
department. AS soon as the bill is
signed it is expected that the board Of
affairs viii lose no time in having
plans and specifications prepared and
will let the contract for the additional
structures as soon as possible in order
