A MATTER OF ACCENT. • It Was Very EiubarraneluK For th* Lady Who Liked Duck. The canvasback duek looked very tempting to the hungry dinner guest, but It was sliced into tantalizingly small pieces. She determined to take two, though a guilty glance at the plates showed her that none of the other guests had ventured upon more than one. The slices loomed up like whole ducks as they lay before her, safely landed. Was every body at the table gazing at them? To her horror, the butler, instead of moving on, stood holding the platter by her side. Was the tone in his voice one of stern disapproval or sarcasm? For there he stood and asked: “How many?” Her head swam. Clearly It was sarcasm, but the insolence of the man! She thought to close the incident gracefully by turning with a remark to her neighbor. Not at all. Retribution was not to be put away thus lightly. Again that cold, mocking voice in her ear: “How many?” “Everybody at the table by this time must be transfixing her and her two slices, but she did not dare look up to see. The butler must be drunk. What was to be done to avoid a scene? Just then from down the table came the cheery voice of the watchful host: “Why, Mrs. Dusenberry, aren't you going to take some hominy with your duck?”—New'York Times. THE JEWSHARP. I<» First Name Was Jew’s Trump, but Xo One Knows Why. The Jewsharp has be<j with us for more than three centuries. We Arid in Hakluyt's “Voyages” a reference to the roaring trade in jewsharps done by Duddeley and Raleigh with the new world. Earlier still the name was Jew’s trump, but no one has succeeded in tracing historically the reason for either name. Various theories have been put forward. The suggestion that it is a corruption of Jaw’s harp and the connection of it with the French “Jeu" are dismissed by modern authorities as “baseless and inept.” Professor Skeat thinks that the name was given in derision and contains a reference to the harp of David. Smythe-Palmer maintained that it ought to be identified with "gewgaw,” which at one time meant a flute. But the most likely solution of the puzzle is that the little instruments were first sold in England and Scotland by Jewish peddlers. Although Jews had no legal status in England between the times of Edward I. and Cromwell, it Is known that many found their way to Great Britain, where their natural occupation would be that pt wandering peddlers.—London Globe. DARING PIRATES. At One Time the Japanese Were the Vlkinita of the East. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Japanese were the most dashing pirates of the east—in fact, we might almost call them the vikings of the east, says a writer in an English Journal. They used junks — small ships with a scrap of sail, but quite as seaworthy as, for instance, the little vessels in which the Danes once raided our own coasts or as the craft which the Peniance fishermen have today. With these Junks the Japanese roamed the seas, going everywhere along the Chinese main, ravaging the coasts, trading and bringing home priceless works of art from China. It was not until long afterward that the ruling authorities of Japan, under the great Emperor Hldeyoshi, decided that it suited their purpose to shut off communication with the outside world and to live to themselves, trading merely among their own islands. The old Japanese vikings were reduced to simple fishermen, and the period of internal feudatory wars began, for at that time at least Japanese would fight because they loved it. Women In Japan. In Japan a well bred woman does not go to the theater until she is old and ugly. It is not thought proper for her to understand music. If she la religious she is termed “flighty." She spends most of her time at home attending to her children and servants and performing all sorts of menial service for her husband and his family. It has been said that “a woman in Japan does not marry for a husband, but to be unpaid servant to his family." Oreataeae aad Imarti.ai. “Which would you rather be—truly great or really smart?” “Smart, of course.” “Why?” "Well, you may be truly great and no one ever know it, but if you're smart you can make people think that you’re great.”—Chicago Post. Aa to the Mew Family. Suburbanite—You don't think they ever lived in the suburbs before? His Wife—Oh, no. When their cook threatened to leave they treated the matter as indifferently as though they could get another one without any trouble.— Exchange. A Had Fit. The Girl—What would you do, doctor, if you saw a man have a bad fit In the street? The Doctor—Advise him to change his tailor.—Yonkers Statesman. Hn u <1 Impped. "He can't tell the truth If he tries.” “Oh. yes, he cnn. But be tells it in such away that it seems to be it He.*’— Exchange. A man's success does not depend so much upon bls environment as upon the man himself.—Maxwell's Talisman.
