EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF "JAZZ"
At Last the Secret (?) Is Given to the World, and by an Engltsh-
 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 it is an Englishman who gives us the valu- able information.
 He tells us that, while Englishmen should not be held responsible for the vernacuar of their brethren in 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 germ known as the hook worm. which affects all true southern CTS. Some unkind employers call it 'loafer-itis" 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 overseers. So, not being able to remember the names of all his forelnen. he generally names each man Jasper, which, according to this Eng lishman, is term of the highest es- teem. Through the very human love of abbreviation, Jasper became "Jas," and as the overseer's principal means of getting work out of his underlings is through harsh and abusive tongue, he was often requested to "Jass up" the work. The Southern drawl makes "Jass" sound like "Jazz." And there we have the word itself. And jazz music, no matter what classic-loving critics may say about 1t, at least in- spires energy. Hence the derivation. Musical America.

TRAVEL IN "GOOD OLD DAYS"
Description of Journey Made In Early
 '5os Recalls the Hardships of ! the Pioneers.

The hardships of pioneer life in vividly portrayed by Dr. John O.. Reeve, in an article entitled, "A Phy- sician in Pioneer Wisconsin," in the Wisconsin Magazine of History, pub 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 ly no money, are related by Doctor Reeve. who practiced in a small vil- lage in Dodge county. Of a journey made in January, 1852, he writes:
 "CalIed to Cleveland by the critical Illness of a sister, I left home on a Sunday morning in a sleigh, pri- vate conveyance, and reached Milwau- kee, about 50 miles away, that night. From there on runners to Chicago. Thence some 30 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 point on the railroad from Sandusky to Cincinnati i; I think the place was Gallon. reached my destination just at dark on Satur- day night. I had travelled during the whole week, passing but two nights In bed"

More Ministers Needed.

It Is from the families of the farm CTS and from the parsonage itself that new preachers come, according to a survey now being taken by the Ameri- can education department of the Inter- church World Movement. The farms lead. The survey shows that out of every thousand pupils who enter the first grade of our American schools, only 38 enter college and only IA re main to complete the course.
 It is from these 14 that the churches recruit the great majority of their ministers. It is also disclosed by the survey that it requires about 5000 new men every year merely to replace the gaps in the ranks of the ministry at home.

As was passing yard where some children were playing I saw little fellow fall from high porch rail. He did not move for minute so I ran to his assistance, but when I reached him he jumped up on his feet appar- ently unhurt.
 "Why, my dear little boy" I said. ''I felt sure you must be hurt. I am sure should have been had had such bad fall"
 "Oh. but you see," he said in expla- nation, "I've probably had lots more practice in falling than you."-Ex- change.
