"Look at this, will you'?" exclaimed

"Well, what of It':" said his partner,
the pessimist of the lrm, who was
leaning back In a chair with his hat
pulled down Aver Ills eyes.
"What of It V" echoed the other.
"Cuu'i you see? Those eighty-seven
marriage licenses uienu eighty-seven
marriages. The elu'luy-seven marriages
will lead to eighty-seven Inquiries for
houses, flats or at least eligible apart
ments. It's bound tn stimulate busi

"That doesn't follow at all. Those
eighty-seven licenses represent 174
persons, don't they''"
"Yes."
"Probably nil adults?*'
"Undoubtedly. What of HV"
"Nothing," growled the pessimist,

CATS
The keenest aesthetic "pleasure for
a cat lies in the region of smell. The
dog uses smell merely as a medium
of Information, but the cat revels In It.
She will linger near a tree trunk,
smelling each separate aromatic leaf
for the pure pleasure of it? not like a
dog. to trace friend, foe or prey. If
the window of a close room Is opened
the cat leans out. smelling the air.
New dresses are smelled. partly per
haps for future recognition, but also
apparently for pleasure. A strong
?imell. above all a spirituous smell, is
not only disagreeable, but absolutely
painful Lavender water may please
a tiger, but It will put a cat to flight.?

Tho Name of the Jungfrau.
Whence does the Jungfrau derive its
name? M. Ilartmann of Interlaken
contributes the results of his research
es 011 this subject to the "Feullles
d'lllstoire Bernoise." There was. It
appears, in the fifteenth century a nun
nery at Interlakeu. The nuns owned
what Is uow the Wengern alp and was
then denominated, out of compliment
to its proprietors, the "Jungfrauen
bcrg," or "Mountain of the Young Wo
men." When a name was wanted for
the snow peak opposite, the Jungfrau
enberg naturally supplied It- It was
called the .Tungfrauhorn? an appella
tion which In the course of the years
was abbreviated Into Jungfrau.? West

In Venezuela onc&a noted revolution
ary plotter was put under what we call
"bonds to keep the peace."
ltut, in addition, he was not allowed
to leave the city where he was resid
ing.
"I give you the city for a prison,"
was the courteous way the governor
of Caracas phrased It.
Later on that plotter came In with a
successful revolution, and the memory
of the days when he had "the city for
a prison" rankled within him.
So It gave him great pleasure to
throw the ex-governor of Caracas Into
jail.
"I give you the prison for a city," he
remarked as he did It.

Tbo Mermaid was f Tie name or n ra
mous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
tlie reign of Queen ICiizabeth. All the
wit and talent of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au
thors have made it the scene of great
tnlnd eombiv+s between such men as
Shakespeare, Beu Johnson, Beaumont,
Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Donne and
others of reverential memory. It was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin of which Is
ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located In Dread
street and wit* handily reached from
three thoroughfares, so that it has
been often referred to in various ways.
The Mermaid In Bread street, the Mer
maid in Friday street and the Mermaid
In Cheap street were, however, all one
and the same, it was the nearest to
Bread street. The .Mermaid was de
stroyed in the great London tire. There
were other Mermaid taverns, one Iti
Cheapslde nuil another in Oornhlll. but
they had no such associations as clung
(o that of Bread street.
ORIGIN or IRE
Theword "bofrus" Is said b.<
vie to l>e derived from Boghesv., .tie
name <>f a uotorlous American swindler
who about the year 18.' >5 flooded the
western and southwestern states with
counterfeit Mils, sjiau> mortgages, etc.
Others connect the word with "bogy," a
scarecrow or goblin, and so applied to
anything fictitious or chimerical.
Lowell in the "Blglow Papers" says:
"I more than suspect the word to be a
corruption of the French bogasse."
This bogasse was the sugar cane as
delivered in Its dry, crushed state from
the mill, also called can trash and tit
only for burning, being synonymous
with useless rubbish.
Again, according to Brewer, there Is
in French argot or thieves' slang a
word "bogue," which signifies the rind
of a green chestnut or the case of a
watch, and this also brlugs us to the
Idea of an outward seeming without
any solid or reputable foundation.?

The Queerest Salad.
A gourmet as he mixed a salad of
chicory said: "The world's Queerest
salad, and possibly its most delicious
one, is eaten by the Inolts of northwest
Greenland. It is a salad of undigested
moss from the stomach of a fresh
killed reindeer, a bitter, sharp, stim
ulating salad, as good for the diges
tion as an electrical massage. The
Iuolts live almost exclusively on flsli;
hence salads are a favorite dlsli with
them. But no salad In their minds
compares with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. They
say tills salad is crisper, tenderer and
more appetizing than any other, and
they say It wards olT indigestion. They
fljrht for It, they spend their last penny
on If, quite as the in. Hans do with
firewater."? Exchange.
