There are other municipalities which are doing their test in their several ways to rival her, it is toward Now York that all the eye- in the country are turn- ed, and from which they take as a Rat milk. The rest of us are in a measure provincial. Many of us profess not to approve of New York; but, though we cross ourselves piously, we take or read a New York daily paper. Now York gives the one alike to the secretary cf. the treasury and way of Lon- to the social swell. The ablest men in the country seek Now York a market for their brains, and the wealthiest people of the country move to New York to spend the patrimony which their rail splitting fathers or grandfathers ed.

The Little Country Paper. The morning papers lay on the seat beside him in the elevated train. He was reading with eagerness an awkward crumbled little sheet. The printing of the paper was uncouth, for it looked as though half the letters were smashed The impression of the type was dull and blurred. It was the weekly paper, printed in the little town where this prosperous, well-dressed New had been born and bred. Many a man who has carved his fortune in this city, hails the little country paper every week as a welcome messenger. It tells bow the crops are flourishing, how the fences are being whitewashed every spring, and, perhaps, once in a while there is a paragraph about the dear old mother, who has got into print by en- the sewing circle.

The whip of the combine seems to be just effective among the republicans of the Senate as it was in the House, but it had to be heavily laid upon some of the can Senators before they would agree to support the tariff bill arranged by Mr. Reed and passed by his House, without amendment. They swore through two long caucuses that some amendments should be attached to the bill or they would not support at the third caucus Quay's wedding of the combine whip was more than they could stand and they agreed to support the bill without amendment. thus scoring another victory for die combine. But this does not make it certain that Mr, Reed's tariff bill will pass the Senate. Some votes will have to be gotten from the democrats or the populists to pass it, and if it passes President Cleveland will never sign it. There is a very decided difference of opinion in Washington as to how call for bids for the purchase of bonds will result, the majority seeming to be on the side of those who think private individuals will not bid, because they haven't the gold.

Under the above caption the Record of December 1894, said Reports from Nebraska bring tidings of great distress and of of people in need of food. The corn main almost completely, the yield for the whole State having averaged only six bushels an acre. The suffering ed promises to increase, and these must be helped until another crop can lie raised. They cannot leave and come South ; they are without ready money, and their lands are not salable. Help must be sent to them. In many times as distress, when afflictions have come upon every part of it, the South has received the most ready and liberal help of other sections. This year it has been blessed with an abundant grain crop, nearly one-half of the total crop of the been pro- in the South. Its and arc for all and some to spare for ethers. Because of these conditions, the Associated and the Carted Press sent out a dispatch on December embodying a made by the editor of the Record, that the people of the South contribute and send to Nebraska a solid of Southern corn and bacon. This dispatch was as follows Associated and United Press Dis- patch. December view of the great destitution reported from Nebraska, because of the almost total loss of the corn main crop of the Richard II Ed- editor of the Record, suggests that a solid train of corn and meat be contributed by the South and shipped to Nebraska. Mr. Edmonds says that the. South has been blessed with an enormous com crop this year, and that its are tilled to Out of this abundance, the South should gladly mail itself of the opportunity of sending a Christmas greeting to those who are in dire dis- tress in the Northwest. Nothing that the South could do would, be says, do more to cement the feeling of friendship that section and the West. Nothing else would so impress the country with the blessings which the this year enjoys in the abundance of its supplies of grain and This telegram, sent out at the re. quest of the editor of the Record, immediately received a warm response, and in a few hours thereafter telegrams and letters of COM. was received from I Ion. Hoke Smith. Secretary of the Interior; Vice-President Baldwin, of the South- Railway; President Hoffman, of the Seaboard Air Line ; of Nebraska, and many North and South.

Similar arrange- were made for contributions from other States, and in the aggregate of worth of foodstuffs was shipped from the South to the West. While the South thus gave freely and abundantly of its bounteous crops to aid others in distress, it set in motion forces that are destined to have a won- effect upon our entire country. It helped to break down the barriers that bad Stood between the sections, and by this one act the South made a deep impression upon thousands and tens of thousands of tanners in the North and West. Its influence is illustrated simply by one of the great colonization work which is now being carried out in Georgia in the settlement of acres of land purchased by the Grand Army Colony. Mr. P. II. Fitzgerald, president of the Soldier Colony Co., the organizer of this move- in a letter to the Record, tells of the influence of this contribution of the South in his own case and what has been the outcome of it. He writes as follows of over people, have passed the question of success, and the only question now bothering us is to know where to get lands enough to place on.

The old two-story frame building that has for sometime been standing between the two law buildings on Third street, and right in front of Smith It Co's. livery stables, is being moved again. This time it is going back on main street and will be planted between tire brick block and Smith's bar. This old building has been hauled around more than any house in town. It built near the opening of the war and was a part of the that stood on the corner of Pitt am Third streets. Sometime in the early seventies it was moved down town and placed near the location to which it is now going. The lower floor was fitted up for a store and the upper rooms used in turn tor barbershops, billiard rooms, halls and printing offices. When Col. Skinner purchased Mrs. Char- property this building was moved around to Fourth street about when- II. F. marble yard is, to make room for the brick block. At this move the house came very near collapsing and bad to be patched up Considerably. It was there used as a beer boiling establishment. Some later it was moved through the square to Third street where it has since stood and been used at intervals for bar rooms, restaurants, storage rooms, sleeping apartments, shoe shop, etc. We have not what use it will be put to back on main street, but it has the appearance of being a rather old and unsafe building with which to fill in the gap between a brick block and a row of wood buildings, as it increases the danger from fire.

Several times the Ham-s burst through the sides of the burning building only to be extinguished by a well directed stream from the hose. There was plenty of wafer and the fire was kept confined within the shaving and was soon Hooded out. Both the fire Companies, white and d, worked valiantly. In this one instance property was saved the value of which covers many times the cost cf the fire engine. However, if a fire should cur in some part of the town where water could not be had the engine would lie worthless in fighting it. A great risk is run in allowing town to remain without a wafer ply.

One need not search far in to find words. Most words have an interesting his- as to and change of sense, and the regular processes of formation by compounding differ- into one now vocable are very interesting as a study. II you desire to know the English well and to be able to express thought clearly, you cannot afford to neglect the study of etymology. One of the most interesting dis- made by the student of will be the unaccountable origin, or rather the utter absence of systematic origin, of some of commonest words. Thus gas is a name that has never been explained beyond mere statement that it was invented by a Belgian chemist named Van Guesses have been made about what suggested it to him, but be gave no information as to its source, but wrote in Latin, vapor hitherto known I call by a now name, Caucus and are common words without satisfactory but with very interesting his- Certain snakes called adders. Is it not a curious fact that the name adder originated simply through understanding of sound word was and tho German is natter. Adder comes from misunderstanding a as an adder, and the Century Dictionary says that apron, anger, orange and arose through a similar mistake. Just opposite to this change from to adder is that which gives us the name for what used to an A common saying is that a prised person is aback. This is said to originated from the expression used nautically, in saying that sails are taken aback when they driven by tho winds back against tho mast. Probably it would bard to prove that either of tho sayings had its origin in the other, for they both use tho word aback in its literal Aback and similar words disclose a curious fact in their etymology namely, that the first is merely a letter that stands for the original word on, which meant not only what our pres- means, but also at, to, in, into or almost anything of that kind, to Accord, concord and discord come from what seems a queer thing suggest such words for tho sense in which they always used. In each tho second syllable is Latin word for heart. Accord in its elements moans Real agreement or harmony must been considered so sweet and so rate that the only fitting name for it must contain that of tho heart a tho seat of human affection. Caprice and capricious seem to from tho fact that people could find no better comparison for actions than capering of a goat The etymology of these words that connects them with the Latin word goat is questioned by the Century Dictionary, but there is no doubt that caper is from that Latin word. Pilgrims so called for a very queer reason, and tho word was made in a queer way. They walked through the land, and as this was their prominent characteristic it tho name for them, which is from Latin words per, through, and ager, mean- Times. A Crocodile Fight. Crocodiles are very apathetic, and among them are rare. A short time ago, two of the six crocodiles in the zoological gardens at Antwerp had a serious disagree- and one of saurians, with a snap, closed bis iron jaws on the upper jaw of the other. During ensuing battle the locked jaw broke in the middle. The assailant swallowed the and all. This ended the pleasantness, both at once assuming their former listless attitude. The vanquished animal now presents a horrible sight; part of its tongue and front half of the lower jaw, bristling with teeth, exposed to view. But tho maimed animal shows no sign of oven the pro- The of No has yet been to hang bis cap on the north polo, nor has tho chemist in his laboratory yet succeeded in reaching what may be called tho north polo of re- or tho of This zero has been do- fined us that point of at which gas would no and have no volume, a con- which, it said, would take place at u of de- below the freezing point of water. Unlike the explorers, who have a number of roads open by to approach the pole, the chemist has only one route by which to reach the chilly destination he seeks, and that is by the liquefaction of all the gases. This, the textbooks state, has ready been accomplished, but tho chemist in search of the knows better. Though compressed hydrogen when expanded yields a mist, the victory over this baffling element has not been achieved, and as the experiments in this direction are difficult and costly it seems that the explorers will roach the north pole, by balloon or otherwise, long before the reach their temperature, the temperature of celestial space. One practical re- the chemist names as a reason of his researches after temperature is that should it ever be reached we could then complete- arm heat into mechanical power, whereas at present we in getting only about per cent ABOUT Half the Mm In Wear Them, Bay the An authority on subject of Bleeping garments says that not more than cent of the men in United States wear night- shirts, but women throughout country, almost without wear nightgowns. age of men wearing nightshirts is greatest in cities and smallest in the country.

Men inveigh against the folly of women's dress point out with what deem justifiable sarcasm that when by the sex strikes a sensible fashion it soon ex- it to absurdity or drops it utterly. Apropos of all this a writer in a London paper asks if is anything that can said in favor of a man's tail hat. And yet it has almost entirely superseded the fold- bat for evening wear. as it was, the chapeau bras quite out of date. The chimney pot has withstood the sharpest sarcasm of our best It is hot in sum- mer and neither warm nor protect- in winter, a shelter from tho sun nor rain, and singularly costly. Out of town men gladly cast it aside, but nothing has as yet been discovered to take its place in Lon- don. The ugly chimney pot is out of keeping with every line and form of the human figure and is only rival- ed by tho headgear of tho fire worshiper. Did it come thence to us western Europeans How has it emanated from the early hood It was originally made of or leather, and in order that it should fit tho head some stiffening matter Was introduced, and a cord fastened round to keep it in place, which has survived in the common buckled band of the black bat that now bides scam of tho brim and crown.
