Why "Amen" Is Usually
 Used at End of Prayer

The word "amen" is probably one of the oldest words in our lexicon, marking back even further than the Biblical era to the days when San skrit was spoken language.
 Directly, however, we get the word from the Hebrew, which took it bodily from the Sanskrit or the Greek, which derives 1t from Sanskrit, and with it's identical meaning.
 Because the word signified truth" the Hebrews used it at the end of prayers as an affirmation of the truth of what was said.
 This usage has prevailed to this very day in prayers of all denominations i; but the word "amen" has taken on the added meaning of "So may it be-" "So be it."-Kansas City Times.

WHY- Increasing Vogue of Slang
 Is to Be Deplored.

The spoken language is degenerating in the United States and Broadway is receding into the "jargoh of the jungle" pr. Allan Sinclair Will, pro- lessor of journalism at Columbia uni yersity. asserted. He presented a study on the growing use of slang in this country. Doctor Will declared that the common use of such phrases as 70, yeah" "okay," 'didja," shows significantly that language degeneracy is taking place.
 "The recurrence of the sound of 'O' in many expressions now heard Is significant" Doctor Will reports. "It means going back to one of the first words heard in the primitive forest. At the birth of speech when prehis, tOric man was struck by a stealthy arrow or confronted by hungry tiger ready to leap at him. he exclaimed O probably the first word ever heard from the mouth of man, and now Broadway is doing 1t and thinking 1: smart"

Why Termed Silhouette

The name silhouette" comes from Etienne de Silhouette, French minister of finance in 1759. He strove by severe economy to remedy the evils of war which had just terminated, leaving the county in great exhaustion. At the end of nine months he was obliged to leave his place. During this period all of the fashions in Paris took the character of parsimony. Coats were made without folds, snuff boxes were of plain wood and outlines were drawn in profile instead of painted portraits. All of these fashions were called "a la silhouette" but the name remained only in the case of profiles.

Why the Sucker State"

There are numerous explanation as to why Illinois Is called the Sucker State" One Is as follows: It Is re- lated that this word originated at the Galena mines in the fall of 1922. at 6 time when there was a great exodus. A large returning party, while board ing steamer at the Galena wharf was asked, "Wher' ye goin'?" ITO hum." Well" was the rejoinder of an old miner, "ye put me in mind of suckers they do go up the river in the spring, spawn. and all return down ag'in in the fall"

Why Covered Bridges

The covered bridge is a survival of an ancient custom. A great many of these bridges were built before the Revolutionary war; and their builders followed the methods used by the old European bridge builders. The object of covering the roadway of the bridge was for the purpose of protection against the weather. against possible riots and primitive weapons.

Why Floors Creak

Squeaking floors are often not prop erly secured at the joists or not prop erly supported. Sometimes finishing nails may be driven in to make them more secure and to overcome this trouble. If the boards are of uneven thickness, the floor often creaks.

Why One Yawns

We yawn when we are tired because the act helps to fill our lungs with oxygen. Yawning appears to be "catch- ing' because 1t very often happens that a person yawns when the air he is breathing has not enough oxygen to satisfy him, and others present yawn because they also need more oxygen.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT
 THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Will. A. Steel

{ The total direct federal aid to States was $219, 162,574 and deducting this sum leaves the total amount of revenue paid by the States $2,2Q8,066, 180. Alaska's total internal revenue collections amounted to $135,- 475, composed almost entirely of income tax collections, which amounted to $133,967. After deducting our direct fed eral aid of $89,375, it leaves a balance paid by the Territory of $46,118, on the basis of a population of 59,27S.
 When the Garner relief bill was introduced in the House, i t contained provisions for two appropriations for build ings in Alaska-Anchorage and Ketchikan, and for a num- Der of river and harbor pro- jects in Alaska. It also con- tained appropriations for in- numerable building projects in every Congressional district in the United States. As a result, many of the residents of the re- spective towns entered their protests against these public buildings, claiming that the rented buildings answered ev- cry purpose, with a great sav- ing to the government. This gave rise to the charge of pork" appropriations an d when the bill went to tte Sen ate the various building and river and harbor projects all over the country were cut out and the revised bill was accept ed in conference by the H use, with practically no objection.
 Thus Alaska was treated like the state of New York and all other States, with the general understanding that the Alaska items and all other meritorious items would be included in the general public buildings and rivers and harbors bills and passed at the December session of Congress. This explanation seems necessary to set alright some critics in Alaska who pre- tend to think that the Territory W a s discriminated against, which is an absolutely erron- eous thought.

Washington, D. C.. August 8, 1882.

An inquirer asks of Wash ington evening newspaper :
 How wide is Boring Strait between Alaska and Siberia? :? Does it freeze over in the win ter?"
 The following reply was incoming: 'It is about 35 miles wide and does freeze ov- CT in the winter"
 An inquiry has come from Alaska as to the number of pat ented mining claims in the Ter ritory and as to whether there are not large areas of patented ground owned by absentee landlords, which are held pure ly for speculation, with no ef- fort made to develop them. It is difficult to ascertain the number of claims patented, but the Department of the In- terior is now figuring out the number of patents that have been issued, with the idea that each patent will average be- tween two and three claims, as a large majority are for ore claim only. But the Depart ment states that after a patent is issued it is almost impossible to determine into whose hands the claims finally reach.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. March 12.-(P)-Bonds
rrovided a cheering lustre on the sur
face of the financial markets THIS
ueel- while stocks remained dull ana
uninteresting.
EQUITIES were held back by the con-
tinued low level Of industrial ana
commercial activity, but steady I'M
movement in banking and credit con-
ditions helped the bond market up 10
the best levels since early December
An upturn OF $57.000,0O IN brokers
loans was one of the most surprising
DEVELOPMENTS of the week, ana ~
brought some real cheer this time.
While part of the increase presum,
ablv reflected some experimental pcoi
activity in the stock market, large
part of it was believed to reliect a
revival of activity on the part OF oono
distributing houses.
Stocks found 1t little easier TO de-
cline than to advance. but trading
turned, extremely dull on recesslons'
as a rule. It was obvious, however,
traders were growing somewhat as
co,1rared over failure of the specula-
tive efforts for the rise to break the
list through the upward resistance
levels of the.last two months.
While there was little further
change in domestic money rates, an
easier undertone appeared, particu-
larly In bankers acceptances, and the
weekly reserve bank statements were
distinctly reassuring.
wall Street continued to watch the
steel basic industry for signs OF re-
wing activity, but found but slight
reimbursement from that quarter.

The seat Of government at the city
OF jamestown in the county Of Suits
man. instead Of: The seat of govern
ment at the city Of Bismarck, in the
county OF Burleigh.' The other provi-
sions Of this article would not be
changed. as the language Of the re-
naming sections Of the proposed
amendment Is identical with the
of the present constitution.
THE question upon which the vote
is to be cast Is: Shall said constitu-
tional amendment be approved?' to
vote yes is to vote for the change to
Jamestown; to vote NO Is to vote for
retaining the capital at Bismarck"
