ENGLISH HELD MANY FEAsTs
Oyster Festival, white Bait Dinner,
Fish Pie and Sausage Repasts,
Among Former Celebrations.

There IL scarcely an old city or vii.
lage In England that formerly did not
have an annual banquet Of some sort,
designed to advertise the particular
products for which the place Ia fam
Gus, observes q correspondent. Col.
chester had its annual oyster feast,
which was given every October, usu-
ally at the beginning Of the month.
But that was a comparatively modern
festival. Much more ancient was the
yearly white bait dinner ut Greenwich,
which at one time was almost rs great
q social event as the dinner given by
the lord mayor Of London.
The fish pie dinner Mt Confession,
near Yarmouth, had rs its guests each
year 65 fishermen, with the vicar at
the head Of the table. The number nj
the table was strictly limited to 81,
except the vicnr, and was never more
or less. At Yarmouth, the home Of
the far.famed Yarmouth blOater, the
annual herring dinner was quite al
event. The menu consisted entirely OF
herring Of all ages from infant sprats
to grandfather herring prepared In
many different ways. Peterborough
sausage dinner was given every yeal
by the mayor and corporation Of the
town, and every variety Of sausage
known was served to the guests. An
other famous "feed" was the venisOr
dinner given At Farnham By the bishoI
Of Winchester.

First Use Of lingo.

George Jacob IIolyoake, the apostle
Of cooperation. was the first to make
use of the nickname lingo In refer
ence to wrong kind of patriotism In
q letter which he wrote about the Dis
raelian Chauvinists In 1878, observes
the ArgOnaut. Nobody yet knows for
certain where the word came from, or
what was its original meaning. Mot
teux, In his seventeenth century trans
lntion Of Rabelu's, gave par Dieu' as
'by Jingo;" 1t Is some peoples opin-
ion that lingo is the Basque for God,
and that the word made its way into
the English language through the
medium NJ Basque sailors.

Filipino WORKING Girl.

At B0kod Filipino girl with two

tian Herald. The food she eats costs
8 cents day. She not only earns
money for herself and family In addi-
ton to taking a complete academic
course, but One-half the proceeds from
her labor, turned into the school fund,
has already provided the school with
a fine photograph. a good collection Of
records, and the instruments for ten
piece stringed orchestra, which turns
out music that would compare well
with the best that graduates from O
New England finishing school could do.

City Star. How often do you hear

was wakeful. 1t Is nothing to he

I; The way to get over insomnia Is to
lpay no attention to 1t, and not to talk
about II. Sleep Is largely a matter OF

You are likely to be wakeful II you
