Ha lUwell in his “Dictionary of Archaisms and Provincialisms ’ describes salmongundy to be a mixture of apples, onions, veal or chicken and pickled herrings, minced fine and eaten with oil and vinegar; hence a nickname for a cook. Halliwell-Phillipps’ “Dictionary of Archaisms and Provincialisms’’ has: “Salmongundy—apples, onions, veal or chicken and pickled herrings, minced fine and eaten with oil and vinegar; hence a nickname for a cook.” Cf. also Grose’s “Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue.’’ Bailey’s “Dictionary” has “salmingondin.” Salmagundi, of course; made of pickled herring minced up raw with pepper, vinegar, etc. From “Sea Words and Sea Phrases Used Along the Suffolk Coast,” by Edward Fitzgerald, communicated by him to the East Anglian News,—London Notes and Queries. The Champion Parrot. A woman in a London flathouse was accused of singing hymns to her parrots for the benefit of their souls. This recalls to the London Chronicle- the most accomplished parrot in history. It belonged to Colonel Dennis O’Kelly and was famed for its whistling of the One Hundred and Fourth Psalm. When the colonel died in 1787 a large proportion of his obituary notice in the Gentleman’s Magazine was devoted to this remarkable bird, which got another considerable notice of its own when it died fifteen years later in Half Moon street, Piccadilly. This parrot could also whistle “God Save the King” and “The Banks of the Dee” and would go back and correct itself if it got a note wrong. It could even .answer questions, and its master Wap said to have refused 500 guineas a year to show it in public. Chimneys. Chimneys are modern—that is, chimneys with fireplaces and flues. None of the Roman ruins shows chimneys like ours. There are none in the restored buildings in Herculaneum and Pompeii. Roman architects complained that their decorations were smoked up. A kitchen in Rome was always sooty. Braziers were used in the living rooms. The chimney of antiquity consisted of a hole in the roof. The wealthy Romans used carefully dried wood, which would burn in the room without soot. The modern chimney was first used in Europe in the fourteenth century. The oldest certain account of a chimney places it in Venice in 1347. A Flab’s Tail. A fish exerts its great propulsive power with its tail, uot with its fins. The paddle wheel was made on the fin theory of propulsion, and the screw propeller had its origin in noting the action of the tail. It is now shown that the fins of the tail actually perform the evolutions described by the propeller blades and that the fish in its sinuous motion through the water depends on the torsional of the tall to give it power.

The members of the Republican district committee met yesterday at the Delaware hotel and after sing the vote cast in Tuesday’s primary, declared George W. Cromer the party’s candidate for congressman of the Eighth district. They found his majority over Horace C. j Stilwell, of Anderson to be exactly 1,843. The committee was in session nearly all afternoon and did not conclude its ( work until late in the evening. Chales A. Van Matre, chairman of the Delaware county central committee stated last night that everything was finished by the committee before adjournment, but that no mention was made of the cost of the flection. The assessment made by the committee against the two candidates was merely to cover the cost of printing the ballots and necessary expenses. It was arranged that the two candidates were to pay, personally, the expenses incurred by their representative serving at the polls. There are 292 precincts in the district and Mr. Stilwell, who paid all the men on the boards the regular rates, paid an average o_f $13.50 to the precinct. If Mr. Cromer did the same, the total cost of the primary to the candidates, besides the assessments, was $7,844. —Muncie Star. y COMPLETED BY NEXT FALL ■ A $12,000 Annex to the Central Building—Plans Have Been Drawn. • Decatur is to have more school room before the opening of the fall term. > The school board is arranging for the 4 erection of a big addition to the central building and it is believed that, the work on the same can be started shortly after the close of the present school term.
