and warehouses, while the West India
docks have severed 1t from Poplar

MONDAY NOT POPULAR DAY
Through the Ages II Has Had an Evil
Repute, and for Various Good
and Foolish Reasons.

Monday has always had bad repu-
tation. 1t began with one when 1t was
first called Monday, or MONDAY, the
day on which people felt moony,
which is to say loony. The day be-
fore was sunday, and the primitive
Saxon having probably suffered from
being too much in the sun thought 1t
was time to worship the moon and to
name day in her honor.
Out Of that original insult have
grown innumerable others as Black
Monday, Blue Monday, Monday Land,
Mondayish and kindred variations
which you will find In the dictionary,
says the San Francisco Bulletin. And
seeing that this is Monday, and that
you are probably afflicted with Its
psychological associations, let us save
you the trouble of turning to Webster.
There is'quite a lot about Monday
In the dictionary. After puzzling
through the derivations you come to:
Black Monday-Easter Monday,
1860; a remarkably dark day on which
there were violent hailstorms; hence
any Easter Monday. At boys schools
the first Monday after the holidays.
Blue Monday-in Bavaria, the first
Monday before Lent, so named from
the blue color of the church decora-
lions. A time and occasion when the
spirits are depressed.
Monday Land-Land whose posses
sion by cottager depended upon his
laboring for his lord one day in the
week, usually on Monday.
Mondayish-Like clergyman on
Monday; tired out.
With boys returning to school after
the holidays, congregations faced with
blue church decorations, cottagers
working dead horse, and clergymen
recovering from their Sunday sermons
on that day, is 1t any wonder that
Monday has an evil reputation?

Eishinu In Hawaii.

The boat which the Hawaiians use
for fishing and porpoise hunting is
very long and narrow, pointed, and
curved upwards at either end, and
capable Of holding five or six men.
By an ingenious system of "outrigger,"
the terrific surf is rendered almost
powerless to upset the craft; for
standing out from one side Of the boat
are two light poles, across the ends
Of which is dashed beam similar in
shape and length to the boats keel,
so that at a distance you might think
you saw two boats fixed parallel to
each other. The outrigger forms a
stay to the boat on the side wherever
it Is fixed, and the other side is equal
ly supported because only very
great strain could possibly weigh up
such a continuance.
The padding is done from the stern,
and fishing begins as soon as the lit
tie vessel is clear of the reefs; and
in very few hours she has as many
fish as she can hold. The catch Is
taken ashore alive in pots, and skin
buckets, and disposed of at the pub
lie market, many of the islanders con-

II Stops Them.

In the western part of Brown coun-
ty farmer has found plan to keep
autoists from speeding by his home.
Last summer several of his chickens
were killed by automobiles. and when
one of his pigs, weighing almost 100
pounds, was crushed under the wheels
of an auto, he decided II was time to
do something to stop them. He did.
He dug small bitches, one foot wide
and eight inches deep. across the
road about ten feet apart. and this
plan proved successful. He says
that after a machine going at 80 miles
an hour strikes one Of these bitches
and the occupants of the machine are
almost thrown out, the machine always
slows down to very slow gait.-Indi.

QUESTIONING THE PRICES.

1t is the opinion of many business
men that great numbers Of people are
making purchases very lavishly and
not questioning prices as they used
to. One man tells of a family that
never learned to keep their house
clean, yet who all have fur coats,
though they are indoor workers.
There are still great masses of
people that never had advances in
income comparable to the increased
cost of living, and who consequently
must study economies more carefully
than ever before. But a multitude
have Jared we'll in the economic up
heaval, and are spending money very
freely.
This creates condition that tends
still further to promote high price
level. If the producing and distri-
buting trades discover that people
are willing to pay any price, they
quickly conclude that they can safely
stick on a little more. If they find
people questioning price advances,
they are cautious and inclined to
keep old trade by doing business on
a small margin.
In so far as people are buying bet
ter grades of textiles and other wear
ing materials, they are making no
mistake. But even here they need
to study prices and see whether they
are paying a fancy figure or not.
There are always bargains to be had.

Des Moines, Ia.-Judge Lester
Thompson, of the Polk county dist

toilet waters as beverages, furnishes
the grounds for an indictment for
murder in the first degree.
I'm the state we have special
statute that makes homicide produc-
ed by poison murder in the first de-
gree" he said. Should such deaths
from such cause occur where wood
alcohol is taken as beverage, 1t
would be our duty to inquire into
the circumstances surrounding such
death, and If investigations should
develop that wood alcohol was given
or sold to deceased as beverage,
you would be justified in returning
