EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF JAZZ
AT Last the Secret (?) Is Given to the
World, and by an English
man, Too.

Writing about the jazz reminds me
that the subject is of such Importance
that a long cablegram was recently
sent from London concerning the ori-
gin of the word According to the
cablegram, the secret. is out, and 1t is
an Englishman who gives US the valu-
able information.
He tells us that, while EngIishmen
should not be held responsible for the
Western continent, the word jazz. he
admits, is now as much household
word in England as in America And
then he goes on to say that the word
came from the South and from the ne
groes. Now In the South, he tells Us,
there is a germ known as the hook
worm, which affects all true southern
ers. Some unkind employers call it
'Ioafer-ftis." The white employer, ac-
cording to the erudite Englishman, In
the South has many thousands of ne
groes working for him. and conse-
quently many oyerseers. So not being
able TO remember the names of all his
foremen, he generally names each man
Jasper, which, according TO this Eng
nshman. is a term Of the highest es-
TEEN. Through the very human love
Of abbreviation, Jasper became Jas" !"
and as the oyerseer's principal means
OF getting work out of his underIings
is through harsh and abusive tongue,
he was often requested TO "Jass up"
the work. The Southern drawl makes
'fJass" sound Ike "Jazz" And there
we have the woEd itself. And jazz
music, no matter what classic-Ioving
critics may say about It, at least In
spires energy. Hence the derivation.

The earl Of Portarlington, who was
one of the first TO volunteer for serv-
ice during the railway strike In Eng
land, relates the following story: A
boy scout on duty at one OF the Lon
don termini, feeling the pangs of hun
ger about eleven o'clock one morning,
began a vigorous attack on a substan-
tial lunch he had brought with him.
A gentleman passing by was moved
to remark: my boy, IL you eat much
now you won't have any appetite for
your dinner" To which the smart
little fellow replied: ''Well, / guess
If I haven't any appetite / shan't want
any dinner" The gentleman had no

deal too much for their years. and
moreover, who don't believe In the
saying about children not being heard.
You can't stay near dear little Ethel
without hearing quite a lot.
Which all gets on with the story OF
the night when Cousin Robert came to
supper.
"Do have another helping Of the pot

er Robert had already caused two
platefuls to disappear.

Wisconsin Magazine of History, pun
lished by the State Historical society.
The difficulties involved in the prac-
tice of medicine in a country almost
devoid of roads. and with only the
necessaries of life, and with practical-
Iy no money, are related by Doctor
Reeve. who practiced in a small VII
lage in Dodge county. OF a journey
made in January. 1852. he writes:
"CalIed TO Cleveland by the critical
Illness of a sister, l left home on q
Sunday morning In a sleigh. a pri-
vate conveyance. and reached MiIwau-
kee, about 80 miles away, that night.
From there on runners to Chicago.
Thence some 80 miles by Michigan
Central railroad, and then by vehicle
across to the Southern Michigan, at
that time building from Toledo to Chi
cago. The appointments Of the road
were not yet made. so several times
the train stopped. the passengers
alighted and chopped fence rails to
make fuel for the locomotives From
Toledo, on wheels, to a point on the
railroad from Sandusly to Cincinnati;

Peanut Oil Gaining Favor.

The production of peanut oil, includ-
ing both the cold-pressed and the hot
pressed, in the United States has In
creased from $4,000 pounds in 1912 to
95, ,934.00 pounds in 1918, an increase
of more than 21.O00 per cent The i'm
portation of peanut oil increased from
10000 pounds in 1912 to 6s, ,466, ,OO0
pounds in 1913. Practically all the i'm
ported peanut oil is hot-pressed. Com
plete statistics for 1919 are not yet
available.
1t is apparent, say specialists, that
cold-pressed peanut oil is winning for
itself a place on the American table,
justified by its flavor, nutritive value
and digestibility.

his friend:

cious to habit of any person ever

addicted to habit there's no break

way, and no law of heaven and earth
could change her habit"
"Some persistent, I'll say" agreed
the other.
"You bet" said the first speaker.
"Why, here last summer put a bay
window on the front room of our

can education department of the Inter

every thousand pupils who enter the

only 80 enter college and only IA re-

It IS from these IA that the churches

BIRDS IN COMBAT.
Feathered Creatures Sometimes
Battle to the Death.
Contrary TO Pretty Theory, Perfect
Peace Does Not Always Reign
Within Those Little Nests"
az Sung by Poet.

Birds In their little nests agree"
wrote Doctor Watts. If the eminent
preacher had chanced to witness an
incident similar TO that which I saw
che other day, says writer In the
London Daily Mail, he would never
nave penned that libel.
/ was walking across London golf
course when two sparrows shot past
my head chattering violently, and,
coming to ground a few yards away,
net to fighting so furiously that was
actually able to pick them both up In
my hands.
I let one go at once: the other
carried little distance before nberat-
ing 1t. VIII you believe TIA mo-
ment later the two were at 1t again,
ibeak and claws.
Almost all birds fight furiously In
the springtime. Even turtle doves,
those embIems of peace, will go for
one another In the mating season.
The various methods of ofense
adopted by different birds are interest
Ing. Sparrows use their powerful
beaks but hold one another with their
claws. StarIings fight in exactly sim
liar fashion. Their combats are at
times most desperate. A friend saw
one cock startling actually kill another.
Pigeons use their wings but rarely
DO one another much harm. Swans
fight with their wings, and their
strength is so great that their battles
sometimes result fatally. / have, how
ever, seen q. swan apparently endeav-
oring to hold the head Of rival un-
der water, but was not near enough
20 make out what happened.
Some birds have spurs on their
wings The spur-winged goose, which
is small, long-legged bird and rath-
or resembles duck on stilts, has ex-
frRordinary wing power. One Of these
geese went for a gardener who had
gone into it's inclosure In the 200"
and gave him blow on the knee that
laid him up for week. The crested
acreamer has actually double spurs on
SITS wings and is very awkward Gus
toner to tackle.
All the birds of prey use their talons
as their principal weapons. The
strength which lies in the talons of
even a small hawk is almost incred-
ible. As for an eagle, one has been
known to drive its claws clean through
the skull of large tomcat into the
brain, killing the animal instantly.
The pheasants are the only family
OF birds provided with spurs. Our
domestic fowls are, of course, members
OF this genus, and 1t is In the game
fowl that the spur is developed to the
greatest perfection. These leg spurs
resemble the horns of cattle, in that
they have bony core protected by a
smooth sheath Of horn.
The guinea-fowl, again. is singular
En that it has blunt horn upon its
head which 1t uses as an offensive
weapon.
have never seen two herons fight,
but If they did they would use their
beaks and their beaks alone. The
driving power of the long, sharp
pointed beak of a heron is immense,
and when heron Is hawked you may
see 1t endeavor to spit its smaller as
gailant upon It's beak.
An ostrich farmer tells me that he
has known an ostrich to pierce a sheet
OF corrugated iron with one tremend-
Gus kick.
