Explaining History Of Dress.

Ii one could only know the origin
OF all the many words we use in our
daily talk, one would know much Of
the history Of dress. Many of our
most recently adopted clothes words
come from France, but five hundred
years ago dress terms more usually
came from Italy, then the mecca Of
fashion. Hence, velvet came from
"velluto," the Italian word to indi-
cate shaggy. And "camesole," which
has recently been revived from an
earlier English usage, came from the
italian diminutive of chemise.

Novel Dance.

The word ball." as applied to q

nrst instance from an ancient ''ball
play" given in church by the dean and
choir boys of Naples during the Feast
OF Fools at Easter. At subsequent
dancing parties in Naples the dancers
threw a ball at one another to the
sound of their own singing. They
whirled about in measured time, and
the sport consisted in loosening hands
in time to catch the ball.

Evolution of Clothes Terms.

Dozens and dozens of clothes terms
there are that indicate the evolution
of clothes among our ancestors. Pet.
ticoat, which has been used as not
very respectful synonym for women
in general, was garment for men
originally, and was the undercoat
worn beneath the heavier overcoat.
1t was fairly long, and eventually the
word came to be applied to the gar
ments that evolved from this petit, -

The Musk Rat.

The musk rat, as its name would in
dictate, is species Of rat. 1t is found
nowhere but in America. Its body is
shaped like that of the ordinary rat,
but instead of the short, close hair
of the land species, it is covered by
thick reddish-brown fur, and because
it lives much in the water it has
webbed toes. Although very awkward
on land, it is lively and playful in
water, and is a great swimmer and
diver.

How They Breathe Under Ice.

The ability of beaver to remain
under water for long time is really
not so strange problem as it looks.
When lake or pond is frozen over
a beaver will come to the under sur
face of the ice to expel breath, so
that it forms a wide fiat bubble. The
air coming in contact with the ice and
water is purified, and the beaver
breathes it again. This operation he
can repeat several times. The otter
and muskrat do the same thing.

the conclusion that the rainfall has

struction of forests and the running of
the grass weld by burning-are be-

DISLIKE LONG FREIGHT TRAIN
vouid Seem 70 BE Good Reason why
Railroad Men Are Opposed %
the Innovation.

The monster freight train made
up of a hundred or more cars is the
latest railway experiment. There IS
one train already on record which
must have possessed something OF
the alarming proportions OF the IA
miliar sea serpent, for it had ITO
loaded cars and three empties. 1t
travelled between Detroit, Mich, and
St. Thomas, Ontario. The distance,
lis miles, was covered in about 512
hours, or at the rate of something
like 20 miles an hour. Although the
records made by this and other mon
ster trains have proved to be highly
satisfactory to the officials, it is said
that the men in charge of the TRANS
do not take kindly to them. No
wonderl An engine driver, for in
stance, who requires telescope
with which to see the greater part
of his train, or who is liable, on the
loops, to find the tail Of the train in
front of the locomotive when it
should be, say, hundreds of yards to
the rear, might well be excused if he
objects to such innovations.

HOW PEACE HIT MICE MARKET
Government Abruptly Ceased to Be q
Buyer and Consequently Price
Dropped Rapidly. 4

The sudden ending Of the war
caused panic in the mouse market.
One large dealer, finding himself
'1ong" fifty thousand white mice,
offered the whole lot for sale at half
a cent apiece.
How cheap was this price may be
judged from the fact that white
mice fortnight earlier were quoted
at 10 cents apiece in lots of 100 or
more. White rats were then worth
~ cents, but they dropped coinci-
IDENTIFY to 2 cents.
The reason lay in the fact that the
government, which had been buying
millions of white mice and white
rats for medical experiments, and
for use in diagnosing war diseases
at base hospitals, withdrew from the
market.
Just now it is monkeys that are
in demand for such employment, in
connection with "iu" and the new

tanned mostly from India and the

LANGUAGE OF LIThUANlA.

The Lithuanian people are Of
lndo-European origin and speak one
of the oldest languages in the world,
q language remarkable for its strik-
ing resemblance to ancient Sanskrit,
Latin and Greek, as well as its COM
plete divergence from the tongues of
the neighboring peoples, the Slavs
and Teutons.
In richness of vocabulary, Lithu-
anian is comparable only to English,
possessing as it does $4,000 words.
Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French
ethnologist, says of Lithuanian: "Of
all the European languages the Lith-
uanian has the largest number of
diminutives expressing tenderness,
endearment and affection. 1t sur
passes in this respect Spanish and
Italian as well as Russian. These
diminutive suffixes may be added to
verbs and adverbs, as well as to
nouns and adjectives."
