THE WORD MJINOa
IM Ortsla la Mull Hall Soig la T.ng-
Tbe origin of the word -Jingo" la In
teresting at this tlm, when one Is con
fronted with It m often, mi the Pitts
burg Dispatch. At the time of the
close of the Rmno-Turklsh war, which,
i all renders of hlmory know, termi
nated to dlwmtrously for the Turks and
caused a feeling of apprehension in
England that the Russians were bent
on taking Constantinople and the ulti
mate dismemberment of the Turkish
empire, a change which could not be
tolerated, public feeling found expres
sion in England upon the stage in
pantomimes and in the muttlo halls by
numerous patrlotle songs. One of
these wss as follows:
The dogs of war are loose and the
rugged Russian bear.
Full bent on blood and robbery, has
crawled out of his lair.
It seems a thrashing now and then
will never help to tame
That brute, and so he's out upon the
same old game.
The Lion did his best to give him
some excuse
To crawl back to his den again all
efforts were no use;
He hungered for his victim, he's
pleased when blood is shed,
But let us hope his sins may all recoil
on his own head.
Chorus:
We don't want to fight but, by Jingo, if
we do,
We've got the men, we've got the
ships, we've got the money too.
We've fought the Dear before and while
we're Drltons true
The Russians shall not have Constan-
, tlnople.
The song became most popular and
was heard on every street corner, from
every organ grinder and was whistled
by every bootblack. Shortly after this
the election campaign began in which
Gladstone, the head of the liberals, at
tacked the tory party, then led by the
earl of Beaconsfleld, who was in pow
er. The tory foreign policy waa rldl
cluded and they were stigmatized by
the liberals as "the party of blood
shed, glory and Jingo."
From the time of this election cam
paign, which resulted in the defeat of
the torles and the accession of the
"peace party," Gladstone's 1880 admin
istration, the word "Jingo" has been
used to denote an Individual or section
of a party ready to rush, without ma
ture deliberation, into all the horrors
of war.
TURNEFTS METHOD,
lie Never Used a PUtt Mix J nil
Taint With Htale Hear.
As I remember them, all Turner's
later pictures when first hung at the
Royal Academy were almost devoid of
color and detail, what there waa of the
latter being indicated only in delicate
gray upon a graduated light ground,
radiating from a focus of pure white,
the nlace of a future sun near the
enter of the composition, says Temple
Bar. These three or four ghostlike ef
fects being really only the dead coloring
vr groundwork upon which, aa they
hung In his masslve.old, tarnished
frames, Turner worked steadily from
6 in the morning until dark during the
week of varnishing days, then allowed
the Royal Academicians, dividing his
time and work among them, as ideas
or inclination led him a method which
enabled him to paint all day without
that weariness of eye and brain which
working on one subject would have
Involved. He painted standing, without
nslng a maulstick, and some of his
brushes, which were short, resembled
those known as "writers," used by sign
painters, gralners or painters of letters
on shop fronts. I do not remember see
ing him with a palette, his colors being
from small gallipots or old teacups
standing upon one or two academy box
stools. He seemed to care more for the
brilliancy than the permanence of his
pigments, one of which struck me as
nothing but common smalt blue, while
another was certainly red lead a lovely
color, but utterly untrustworthy.
From his way of using colors I think
he often mixed them with water and
size or stale beer under varnish in the
way gralners do, even for outdoor work
With these materials, working with his
brush end on, he evolved during the
varnishing week all the wonderful and
mysterious fretted or dappled cloud
forms of his skies and those swirling
tide ripples and filmy surface curves
which played among the reflections of
the marble palaces and Jet-black gon
dolas in his Venetian subjects.
But with all his tricks Turner worked
as though he knew exactly what he was
about and when Sir Francis Chantrey
strolled in among the artists on one of
the varnishing days, and, seeing some
house painters busy graining the wood
work of the new rooms In Trafalgar
square, said, "There, my boys; look at
those fellows; there Is not one among
you who knows what he is about or
how to do it as well as they do," he

STORY OF CANNED SALMON.
It I Almost Impossible for the Fish ta
Kara pa.
The fish are swimming near the sur
face now, and If they look up they will
see upon every pole which rises from
'.he wall of mesh either a hawk, an eagle
or a great gull ready to pounce upon
them, says Temple Bar. They dive,
and try to swim under the weed. They
cannot. The water is shallow and the
weed rises from the very bottom. Mean
while hawks and eaglea are busy, a
panlo ensues, a few fish dart through
the narrow way. It is more open be
yond, and .after all. It leads In tha
right direction. The general Impulse
is to go forward; no one wants to turn
back, and, like sheep, they follow their
leaders through the gates of death,
For after this it is all over with the
salmon. Before long the wide pool
narrows again. Again a straight way
lays beyond them, and before long they
are crowding and Jostling each other In
a pound fifty feet by thirty feet, where
they stay, hopelessly confused, and
dashing wildly from side to side, until
a steamer comes along with a scow In
tow. On the scow is a crane. Chains
from the crane are hitched onto the
net, which is below the pound, and
some thousands of strong, free fish,
who had an hour ago the wnole sea to
swim in, are drawn up to the surface
and ladled out in scoop-nets, knocked
on the head, thrown on the scow and
carried oft to the American canneries
at Point Roberts, where they go
through a sausage machine and become
canned salmon."
These canneries are taking (July,
1895) 30,000 sock-eyes per diem. But
some escape. Either they swim wide of
the bay or by luck escape the "leads'
which guide them to the "pound," and
find themselves at last near their goal,
All around them is blue water, clear
and cold. In front of them Is a well
marked band of yellow water, thick,
stale and warm, through which they
blunder like Londoners through a fog.
Above them are two or three thoua
and white-sailed fishing-boats; in the
dim water float 400 miles or more ot
jill-nets; on the river's banks are thirty-
two great canneries, with machinery In
each for turning from 1,000 to 2,000
Ash a day into "canned goods."

not surprised to learn that, viewing
Ith a Jealous eye the flourishing state
of the new Industry, the Idea occurred
to him or his ministers that the state
coffers might be replenished by taking
still deeper Interest in the weed.
Hence the issue of a royal proclama
tion to his loving subjects that they
were forbidden to deal in tobacco un
less they purchased royal letters patent
granting them a license to do so. These
could only be procured, on payment of
yearly sum, from the persons who
farmed from the king the right to en
force and collect the tax. In the "Staf
ford Letters," compiled by Gerrard, re
lating to the collection of the new tax,
is stated that "some towns have
yielded twenty marks, 10 pounds, S
pounds, 6 pounds, fine, and rent; none
goes under. I hear that Plymouth hath
yielded 100 pounds and as much yearly

go on apace; they yield a good fine, and

let Sir Anthony Weldon speak from
personal knowledge. He says of the
king that "he was so crafty and cun
ning In petty things, as the circumvent
ing any great man. He had a trick of
cousen (cozen) himself with bargains
under hand, by taking 1,000 pounds or
10,000 pounds as a bribe, when (at the
same time) his counsel was treating
with his customers to raise them to so
much more yearly; this went into his
privy purse; wherein he thought he
had overreached the lords, but con
sented himself; but would as easily
break the bargain upon the next offer,
saying he was mistaken and deceived,
and therefore no reason he should keep
the bargain. This was often the case
with the farmers of the customs."
There Is a document In the state ar
chives which throws a curious side
light on the king's Ideas of witchcraft.
The settlers In Guiana had become to
bacco planters and required a trade
charter with this country. A charter
was granted them, in which a clause
was inserted to the effect that one-

DAUGHTER IN FRANCE.
French Mother' Relations Different from
tha American.
Mme. Marie Therese Blanc, better
known under the pseudonym ot "Th.
Benson," the French novelist and
critic, writes on the subject of
"Family Life In America:" "The
part ot a mother of a family Is
perhaps a more delicate one in America
than in France Just because there
the power ot the mother Is not
that ot an autocrat, because she does
not direct and rule everything herself,
because there are many things in her
daughter's life which she does not
think herself authorized to prevent
and which she has to bear, while exer
cising a discreet vigilance. She ad
vises without constraining and under
the gravest circumstances she has to
limit herself to an anneal to her
daughter's reason without ever count
ing on passive obedience. It is cer
tainly simpler to mold, like soft wax, a
will that will give itself up without re
slstance. It is Just this feeling of un
limited authority over her daughter,
over the good and the wrong she may
do her, ot her righteous duty to this
utter helplessness, which binds the
French mother to her aecond self
whom she has formed without any other
Influences, admitting even girl com
panions unwillingly, and on her guard
beforehand, against the future husband
who would take her treasure from her.
These relations are being modified
since the Introduction of a certain cos
mopolltanlsm Into our customs but
what exists everywhere with us could
not be found in America, where the
young bird, of either sex, escapes from
the maternal wing as soon as its feath
era begin to grow."
How to Sell Old Clothing.
"I thought I was shrewd and knew
how to drive a bargain," said a young
West street merchant, "but this morn

time ago I sold four old suits of clothes
to a perambulating buyer, and all I got
was $2. My wife said I was swindled
"Four more suits were to be disposed
of this morning. My wife watched until
the first cry of 'Old Clothes! Cash! was
heard. Inviting the crier In, she showed
him one suit. He asked if that was all,
and she answered, 'AH that I want to
sell now.' After spirited negotiations
the dealer paid $1.25 and took the suit
In a few minutes along came another
'ol' clothes man.' After asking If the
one suit offered was all she had to sell
and being told that It was all she
wished to sell then, the usual proceed
lngs followed. He took the suit and
left $1.35.
"The third suit was sold to the third
man for $1.15, and the fourth went to
the fourth man for $1.20.
" 'There,' said my wife, 'got $4.90 for
what you got $2 for.' I said nothing."

The condition was about like this:
The old Afrlcsa chief bad three wives
and missionaries explained to him that
three wives were too many, says the
National Review.
Then he found the matter was not
even to be compromised by turning oft
two and going to the chapel to be mar
ried, with accompanying hymns and
orange blossoms, with number three,
for the ladles held together, not one
of them would marry him and let the
other two go. So the poor old chief
worried himself to a shammock, and
anybody else who would listen to him.
His white trader friends told him not
to be such an Internal as. Some of
his black fellow chiefs said the mis
sionary was quite right and the best
thing for him to do would be to hand
over to them the three old wives and
go and marry a young girl from the
mission school.
Personally, they were not yet afflict
ed with scruples on the suhlect of
polygamy and, of course (being mis
sionary man now), be would not think
of taking anything for his wives, so
they would do their best, as friends,
to help him. Others of his black fel
low chiefs, less advanced In culture,
Just said: "What sort of fool palaver
you make," and spat profusely. The
poor old man smelted hell fire and
cried: "Yo, yo, yo," and beat his hands
upon the ground.
It was a moral mess of the first water
all around. Still, do not Imagine the
mission field Is full of yo yo-lng old
chiefs, for although the African Is un
decided, he Is also very Ingenious, par
ticularly In dodging Inconvenient
moral principles. Many a keen old
chief turns on his pastor and makes
driving inquiries about the patriarchs
until I have heard a sorely tried pastor
question the wisdom of Introducing the
old testament to the heathen.
Many a young man hesitates about
Joining the church that will require
his entering into the married state
with one woman, whom be knows he
may not whack and who will go and
report all his little fallings up at the

opinion he values highly and is artful
enough to know he enjoys this good
opinion more as an interesting possi

"We know of scores of literary work

From the Graphic's point ot view
