HABERDASHER. The Word Is Supposed to Mean Things of Little Value. The word haberdasher first appears In the language as coming from hapertas, the name of a fabric mentioned in the Liber Albus along with wool, canvas and felt, as subject to customs duty, about 1419. A parallel and almost contemporary list has habertassherle. The word is supposed to mean things of little value—small wares such as buttons and tapes. Skeat derives it from the Icelandic haperbask—trumpery, pMlars’ wares. In a register of burials of Ware in 1G55 we have one entry: "Michael Watkins, London, haberdasher of hatts,” probably this being the first material of which bats were made. Chambers gives another meaning to the word. He says it is derived from the ancient name for a neck cloth, berdash. which is derived from beard, and tache, a covering. Hapertas was originally a cloth of a particular kind, the width of which was settled by Magna Charta. Hence a haberdasher was the seller of hapertasserie.—London Answers.

THE LUDDITES. Author' of the Famous Stocking Frame Riot* Io England. Early in 1811 bands of distressed stocking knitters in Nottinghamshire began a long series of riots, marked by most wanton mischief. Assembling in parties of from six to sixty under a leader styled general or Ned Ludd, disguised and armed with swords, pistols, hammers and axes and bound together by illegal oaths, they succeeded in smashing stocking frames in all parts of England, and their daring outrages continued even when a large military force was brought into the neighborhood and two London police magistrates came down to assist the civil power. To such a pitch had this dangerous disturbance grown that a royal proclamation was issued offering a reward of £SO for the apprehension of any of the offenders. Not until October. 1818, did this wholesale destruction and violence cease, by which time more than a thousand frames and many lace machine had been broken up and the mischief had spread into neighboring counties. —London Chronicle. Five Thousand Dl.llncl LanßunKes. Mr. J. Collier, writing on the subject, says that over 5,000 distinct languages are spoken by mankind. The number of separate dialects is enormous. There are more than sixty vocabularies in Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua language has broken up into "00 dialects. There are hundreds in Borneo. In Australia there is no classifying the complexities, and generally the number of dialects is in inverse proportion to the intellectual culture of the population Assume that only fifty dialects ou an average belong to'every anguage and we have the colossal total of 250,000 linguistic varieties. lea son’s Weekly. African Road Breakers. Engineering feats by big game in Africa are thus described by a recent explorer: -Elephant and rhinoceros tracks were übiquitous. These monsters are certainly the best road break, ere in Africa. Among the hills some of the rhinoceros paths were ex raol 1 narilv well graded. Unfortunately the “XZ i.. «*• > h TZ‘X" £ an inch thick and so does not seei th necessity of clearing the the n bust from over his road.

SENT BACK FOR THE PURSE. Salesman I xeil mi Empty Wallet to udy Humanity. Picking tin a wornout, empty pocketbook. a s.ismall in one of the large dry goods stores the other day thought he would have a little fun with it. Lie therefi ie placed it on the counter, half concealed by the goods lying on it. I‘resently a shopper entered. Iler eyes lighted on the wallet as by instinct, and while pricing half a score of articles she endeavored to cover it—quite artlessly, of course—now with her handkerchief, then with her satchel and again with her umbrella. The salesman, without appearing to notice her actions, each time removed the pocketbook out of danger and into light. Finally she adopted new tactics and picked it up, with the remark: “Somebody's left a pocketbook.” “Yes?” replied the clerk interrogatively. "Thank you.” And he took the leather and disappeared with it for a moment. Upon his return the woman asked, with a slight show of interest: “Was there much in it?” "Only $3,” replied the salesman carelessly, with the ease of one who has been used to lying all his life. “And who w ll get it if it isn't called for?” asked the shopper. "The firm,” is the epigrammatical response. The woman went out. In ten or fifteen minutes a boy came in and asked: “Was a pocketbook with $3 found here this morning?” “Yes,” replied the salesman, "but it has been called for.” “Oh,” said the boy and retired. And the salesman smiled audibly.— Chicago Tribune.

THE SUGAR CANE. We Have Borrowed It From India, Its Native Home. The sugar cane and its uses have been know-n in India, its native home, from time immemorial. It is perhaps the earliest source from which sugar was produced, and all other modes of manufacture have been borrowed from or based on it. The early classical writers knew sugar vaguely as “honey of canes.” To the Greco-Roman world the sugar cane was the reed which the swarthy Indians delighted to chew and from which they extracted a mysterious sweetmeat. It was the Arabs—those great carriers between the east and west—who introduced the cane in the middle ages into Egypt, Sicily and the south of Spain, where it flourished abundantly until West Indian slavery drove it out of the field for a time and sent the trade in sugar to Jamaica and Cuba. Early in the sixteenth century the cane was taken from Sicily to Madeira and the Canaries. Thence it found its way to Brazil and Mexico, to Jamaica and Haiti. Cane sugar was well known in Italy about the second century and has been common in England since the Tudor period. The strenuous days of great Elizabeth had sugar for their sack, and ginger was hot i’ the mouth, too, as we all well remember.— Cornhill Magazine. Some Chinese Baths. A traveler in Mongolia writes: “There are some hot springs by the road about twenty miles north of Chingpeng. The place is named rangshan. The arrangements for those anxious to benefit by their healing properties are very primitive. A row of twenty or thirty wooden boxes the size of an ordinary packing case are ranged beside the road. In these sit bathers of every age and both sexes, with their heads protruding. Attendants with buckets continuously refill the boxes from the springs. For less luxurious bathers there is accommodation in a pool which has been dug out close by. In this they squat, scooping up the water and pouring it over their heads with brass basins. It is curious to reflect that establishments like Homburg and Aix-les-Bains have had their origin in such beginnings.”

Beetle Soldiers and Sailors. There are beetles iu England, of the family known to scientists as telepheridae, that are popularly called soldiers and sailors, the red species being called by the former name and the blue species by the latter. These beetles are among the most quarrelsome of insects and fight to the death on the least provocation. It has long been the custom among English boys to catch and set them fighting with each other. Thev are as ready for battle as gamecocks. and the victor will both kill and eat his antagonist.—St. Nicholas. Looking on the Bright Side. The lesson which I have learned in life which is impressed on me daily and more deeply as I grow old, Is the lesson of good will and good hope. I believe that today is better than yesterday and that tomorrow will be better than today. I believe that in spite of so many errors and wrongs and even crimes my countrymen of all passes desire what is good and not what is evil.-Senator Hoar’s “Autobiography. Social Advance. Mother - Are you getting on any, Gertrude? Daughter-Oh. yes. mother. We used to be lumped in with “and others.” but now we have climb ed up into “some of those present. Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. Occu pation. “Miss Callingall complains that she hrs too much leisure." •■Well, why doesn't she take up someth “She does. She takes up other people's time.” Judge. When a man has bis jAnire taken with his family he shows on his photographic face that he was forced into it.—Atchison Globe.

POSITION DURING SLEEP. Slightly Raise the Head and Ide on the Right Side. The main object of sleep is that every organ of the body should have perfect rest. The brain, the lungs and the heart have been, not inappropriately, called the “tripod of life,” as upon them hangs the prosperity of the whole frame; hence we slightly raise the head to check the flow of blood to the brain and more or less quickly find out the position of greatest ease for lungs and heart. This will be found by sleeping for the greater part of the time on the right side, for nearly two-thirds of the heart is on the left of the medial line, and the apex points closely to the smaller left lung; hence the fullest and freest play possible should be given to the left side. A quiet pulse, diminished respiration and refreshing rest are all combined when open windows, moderate warmth and unchafing heart work together. It is often best to court sleep on the left side and turn to the right before going off. A Philanthropist. Modern advertising can cope even with the etiquette of courts. A Lon-1 don journal tells us that a young l American woman wished to be pre- 1 seated at the court of the king of Saxony. The high officials, having inquired into her social standing at home, objected. They represented to her that the king could scarcely receive the daughter of a retail bootmaker. The young woman cabled home and told her father the situation. The next morning she received his answer: "Can't call it selling. Practically giving them away. See advertisement.” That solved the difficulty. She was presented as the daughter of an eminent philanthropist A Doctor's Visit. More patients become dissatisfied because they are not visited often enough than because they are required to pay for excess of services. One of the most grateful families that I ever knew was one that had just paid a young medical grafter for fourteen visits made between 5 and 11 p. m. of a single day, when two visits would have been amply sufficient. Small wonder that some of the younger men yield to this temptation and shortly become known to the profession as repeaters. But these soon lose caste.—The World Today. Lesson In Modern Finance. “Pa,” said the son of the captain of industry, “what is being recreant to one’s trust?” “Not increasing the capital stock every time the public can be hypnotized into buying a few more shares for the benefit of the people who hold the bonds. "—Chicago Record-Herald.
