HABERDASHER. The Word Is Supposed to Mean 1 Things of Little Valne. The word haberdasher first appears j in the language as coming from haper-1 tas, the name of a fabric mentioned in the Liber Albus along with wool, canvas and felt, as subject to customs duty, about 1410. A parallel and almost contemporary list has Uaber- | tassherie. 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. ptsilars’ wares. In a register of burials of Ware In 1655 we have one entry: "Michael Watkins. London, haberdasher of batts,’’ probably this being the first material of which hats 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 1 was settled by Magna Charta. Hence I n haberdasher was the seller of haper- , tasserie.—London Answers. THE LUDDITES. Authors of the Famous Stocking Frame Xlolh 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 I 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 j £SO for the apprehension of any of the ; offenders. Not until October, 1816, did . this wholesale destruction and violence cease, by which time more than 1 a thousand frames and many lace ma- I chines had been broken up and the | mischief had spread into neighboring ' counties.—London Chronicle. Five Thoniwand Distinct I.anunnue*. ] Mr. J. Collier, writing on the subject, says that over 5,000 distinct languages are spoken by mankind. The number i of separate dialects is enormous. There are more than sixty vocabularies in Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua language has broken up into 700 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 on an average belong to every language and we have the co'ossal total of 250.000 linguistic varieties.—Pearson’s Weekly. African Hoad Breaker*. 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 t<est road breakers in Africa. Among the hills some of the rhinoceros paths were extraordinarily well graded. Unfortunately the rhinoceros lias a bide three-quarters of an inch thick and so does not see the necessity of clearing the thorn bnsb from over his road. An elephant is more considerate—he makes a clean sweep of everything” Lost. —A ladies chatelaine pocket book containing a small round purse and a key. Lost Saturday night, July 2nd.
