How Wonts Got Diverted from Their
Original Sicniflcntlon
If Prof Muller hud boon in Carlisle
police court Inst Friday , savs the Car
lisle ( England ) Patriot , ho would huvo
heu.ru u witnuss let fall a single smtill
word , which , in its meaning id con
nection , would Imvo tilled him with the
pleasure winch a naturalist feels on dis
covering some rare and exceptionally
line specimen In his now work The
Science of Language ho has a. chapter
on the degration or deterioration of
words Thus the word idiot origi
nally meant only a private person , or
ono who was notengnged in public busf-
ness ; then it enmo to bo applied to tin
outsider ono who was ill-informed on
and indilTorcnt to state affairs ; und
ltiBtly to the most hopeless of all ' the •
mentally afllictetl Villain , " again ,
simply meant a , villager ; . "knuvo , "
in | its origin , signitlcd a young
man , and on the Gorman court
cards the knave is merely the
page or night attending the king or
queen Then pagan and heathen
come from words which signify country
mouTbociuiso it was in the rural dis
tricts , outside towns , that the worship
of the ancient deities was allowed to
continue longest
The word brat is
now a word of
contempt , but it was not always bo , ns
wo may boo by the expression in an
cient snored poetry , "O Abraham's
brats ! O bvoodo of blessed soedol"
This , " remarks Prof Muller , "is said
to bo a Welsh word , and to signify a
rag " It is a very cominon word in
Cumberland , signifying an apron , hut
especially a dirty , tornunvalued apron
The prisoner , " na tlic Carllslo witness
deposed last Friday , took throe of my
dresses , a brat , a jacket , and a pair of
boots " How a word which at first was
applied to children in good sense got
fixed upon the tawdriest article of ap-
Sarol is a matter for speculation ; no
oubt the chnugo will be explained by
the same circumstances , or current of
thought , which led to the conversion of
the word into a term of disparagement

THEMADSTONE POWER
It Aff.jrilea Itoltof to a Georgia Vic
tim of Hydrophobia
The madstuno stuck
And Mr Hubert Cochrane exper
ienced some relief from the agonies ot
hydrophobia , .
This ia a ploco of news that comes
from ClurlcBton , und is attested by Pa
trolman Luusford , who went to that
town yesterday to try the virtues of n ,
mndstonooti Mr Coohrano , his brother
in-law , says the Atlantic Constitution ,
On Friday last a rabid dog 1-an
amuck in the little town ot Clarkston
The dog was not known to bo mad , but
ho bit Mr Coohrauo through the hand ,
und his actions wore eo queer that ho'
was killed as quickly as possible
Monday Mr , Cochrane began to show
unmistakable symptoms ot hydrophobia
"ml his sufTering'j were tsrrlble A
8oorch i wns begun for a tnndstono , nnd
word sent to Patrolman Lansfordnmong ,
others ( , lo secure ono of these curious
stones that its virtue might bo tested as
a InBt ro6ort.
Yesterday Lanstord , having secured
n madstouu , wont down to Clarkston ,
nnd ns soon ns ho arrived the stone wns
nppliod It stuck to the wound and re
mained about ton minutes before it ro-
laxcd Mr Cochrane apponrod to ex
hibit considerable bonodt from its ef
fects , and when Mr Lanstord left was
doing ns well ns could bo oxiiectod
Last night Borne lndy , who did not
glvo her name , telephoned to the sta

stone in her possession it it was

It appears that quite a number of
people in the city keep limdstotics for
use in snch omergoncles , nnd sovornl of
them imvo boon called into requisition

in the virtues of these little stones , and
from the onrly settlement of the coun

Butter fro in Cocionniit Milk
Within the last tow months n now
trade has nrlson In India nnd hns at
tained extraordinary dimensionswrites
an India correspondent of the London
Times About two years ngo a German
chomlst , Or Schlunk , discovered that
excellent butter could bo made from
cocoanutmilk It is , according to a
Bombay nowspnpor , pleasant to taste
and smell , of a clear , whitish , color ,
singulnrly free from acids , easily di
gestible and tin incomparably houlthior
and bettor article of diet , than the
cheap poor butters and olcomnrgnrlnos
of European markets Tup manufac
ture is carried on in Germany , whore
ono firm turns out from 3,000 to 4,000
kilogrammes daily The cocoanuts re
quired are imported from India , chiolly

British Mont Haters
A gentleman having a thorough
knowledge of the British cattle market ,
in writing from Liverpool , furnishes
some interesting facts as to the Brit
ain's food supply , says an Ottawa cor
respondent of the New York Sun Ho
sa.vs :
"Ip a recent addiess given before the
Croydon Farmers club Major Crnigio ,
who is invnriably well informed upon
these matters , said that of every 100
poundB of butchers meet consumed in
the United Kingdom nearly seventy
four pounds are produced from home
grown stock , while only seven pounds
are produced from live cattle which on-
tnr this country , the balance being im
ported in the form of dead moat Tno
dead meat trade is extremely expansive
at shown by the fact that
that twenty years ago the
whole doud meat trade amounted
to only 02,000 tons , whereas last year it
had risen to 330,000 tons , or nearly six
times the former amount On the other
hand , in 1800 the livestock from abroad
furnished only 77,000 tons of meat , and
Inst year the supply from the same
source was only 137,000 tons Speaking
of the production of meat in this country -
try , Major Craigio calculates that for
every thousand head of cattle produced
by the British farmer , 07 tons of beef or
veal is placed on the market Tn a sim
ilar way every 1,000 sheep produce 121
tons ot moat , and every 1,000 pigs pro
duce notfar shortof 70 tons in ono former
or another Upon this basis Major ,
Craigio assumes that the total home ,
made trade would amount to 1,315,000 )
tons , of which 088,000 would bo hoof
Wo have already soon that tbo foreign
liye-moat trade is represented by
137,000 tons , and the dead-meat trade by
336,000 tonsso that the nation consumes
from all sources 1,788,000 tons of meat
in the year And yet these liguros may
not represent the entire consumption ' '
Inherited Mental recullnrity
The following curious * instance of f
inheritance of an acquired mental I
peculiarity ie given by Pastor Handt-
nmnn of Seodorf by Lonzen on the
Kl'oe , in the Korrospondonzhlatt of the
Gorman Anthropological society : When
nctitig as substitute for a few months
in 18(18 ( in the parish of Groben , in ,
Brniidotiburg , he there met a farmer
named Lowendorf , whowhon ho signed I
his name officially in connection with the
school , always wrote his Christian numo
"Auztug" instead of August " Some
years later the writer was inspecting
this school and hoard a little girl road [
"Lenob" for "Loben , " "Nalcd" for
"Nadol , " and so on On inquiry ho ?
found her name was Lowondorf and
she was n daughter ot this farmer
The father ( then dead ) had , in talk
with his neighbors , occasioned much
atnusomont by the pqculur habit ,
which apponred to bo the result of a J
full from upper story of a barn some :
time before the birth of this girl She

As ho spoke the colored man attempt

woman , who , quick ns a flash , flushed
her llrst hold tin overshoe into the face
of the janitor , says the Chicago Timef
Before ho could recover ho had re
ceived another blow which staggered
him Attorney , policemen nnd report
ers rushed to the assistance of the
woman and separated the combatantB
The scene was the armory police court ,
in Justice Brndwoll's room , during the
houring of a disorderly cuje The par
ties to the impromptu mill were Miss
Kato Kane , the woman attorney , nnd
George Smith , the janitor ot tbo sta
tion

a lecture he will never forgot Miss
Kane , it appears , was sitting inside the
railing partitioned off for the use of nt-
tornoys , and because she would not take
a seal in the main court room Smith
procecdod to forcibly eject her
Why , I never knowed dat doh wuz
onny woman lawyer , " said Smith , "orl

Miss Kane afterward resumed her
chair and awaited the calling ot her

Loulsvlllo Courier-Journal : Surely
I ought to know ovorjgirl in the house
by this time , " thinks Tom Stanton ns
ho stands in a poruWod poliioqtiy , with
his eyes llxcd upot ? , , 1 . chormltig little
figure dancing a qtmdnllo a few yards
nway from him arid ' getting into the
most graceful uttlttiilos with the nld of
her little fan , But , of course , she
might easily bo nhr"dutshlor , although
the rttlo was that " only the boarders
should bo Invited trials affair "
A gay nnd beautiful panotama was
passing before Toni , -Blnntou's eyes , for u
inasquorado ball is fn full progress at
Gratton's hotel , and the largo billlatd
room nnd parlors are thronged with a
crowd of merry , brightdressod maskers
But the scene is utinot'cod ' by the young
man who , for the last hour , has only
had his eyes for the dainty little Pier
relto , who is doing such remarkable
execution with her big fan Her cos-
tutno Is eminently suited to her petite
and perfect llgur o , tmd on her coquet
tlsh blonde head rests the most taking
ot caps All that can ho soon under
the fall of lace that finishes her mask
is the end of a rounded chin that sinks
in the prottiostof curves into the love
host neck thnt Tom thinks ho has over
scon
scon.Tho quadrille comes to an end , and
ho rushes forward to secure , If possible
the next dntico from the girl who basso
charmed him
What , monsior , another dnncoV'sho '
asks in a ptetty French nocont , which is
so perfect that Tom cannot toll if it is
assumed or not "lih blonl I cannot
refuse you "
She slipped ono white arm through
his , and Tom leads his prize otl to a
secluded part of the conservatory , to
which she scorned nothing loath to go
This is their first tote-n-toto , but toTems
Toms disappointment she is very silent
and unswors all his remarks only by
monosyllables
"I must iicknowlcdpo that I am puz
zled " ho exclaimed at last in despair
"I thought I would bo able to discover
you Toll mo if you live here Do give
mo some clew "
Non , lion It is for you to find out , "
answers Pierrette , with a shako of her
curly little head
"Do I know you wollV" ho n ks
Just as well as I know you , Monsieur
Staunton , " she replies , and Tomfor the
fifth time , mentally runs ever his list of
young lady friends , but rojoct3 each one
as impossible
"Do tell mo some place I have mot or
soon you , " he pleads
There Is a moments pausewhile Tom
gazes eagerly at her Then she softly
says :
"Ah , Monsieur , if you did enro you
would be able to penetrate my feeble
attempt at masquerading I would
know monsieur in any costume "
But I urn moro stupid than you It
is not that I dent cure , but that your
disguise is so good { ' protests Tom earn
estly ; just raise your mask a little ,
aud lot mo at least sooiyour mouth ; " he
adds
' • Non vraimont J' ' jsho
, says , hastily
drawing the lneo closer to her chin "I
must not bo discovered " She seems al
most frightened at the idea
But 1 will see you at 12 o'clock.whon
everybody will have to unmask ; why not
anticipate by an hotjror so'i1"
"At 12 o ' clock T may drop my charac-
aeter of 'Piorrotto , ' and become Cinderella -
rolla , but it is not ruy slippers I will
leave behind in myllight " She puts
ono hand on her heart , and casts ace
quottish look at Tomi
BH"IIshall follow youtooclosoly to allow
you to escape , " ho exclaimoa , leaning
forward and gazing into.hor e os as if
ho would draw from their shining
depths a knowledge of her identity
You know not what you say I
promise you that at tomorrows dawn
you will bo as mystified as you are now
AlasI It cannot be otherwise
But tell mo why , " persists Tom , ,
while all sorts of wild ideas floated
through his head ,
Listen monsieur do wish
, , you really i
to continue this or friendship ! " '
Her voice is softly seductive
Can you askl" exclaims Tom , impetuously -
petuously seizing her hand
But how do you know I am not ugly
and old without my mask ? Monsieur
may bo disappointed when ho sees my
face , " she says , allowing her hand to- >
rest on his , and faintly returning his
pressure as she leans toward him
Impossible for you to be anything f
but "
-
but"Novor
Never mind , " she interrupts You
may toll mo what you wish later Now
it is no conipliraont You have not seen i
mo "
But it is not long until midnight
now , " says Tom , glcofully
Ah you do not believe that at mid
night there will bo nothihg left to re
mind you of Piorrotte but this rose "
She t akos a llowor from her corsage
and , kissing it , hands it to him with a
( lash of her dark eyes Tom presses it
to his lips
You shall not escape mo undiscov
ered , " ho t > uy3 firmly
But if I should , " she perseveres i ,
what will you do ? "
"I should rely upon your kindness of
honrt not to let this interview bo the
Inst of what promises to bo so much to
mo , " ho Buys , raising her hand and bestowing -
stowing a passlonuto kiss upon the small
fincors
"Monsior , " she pretests , hnlf drawing
her hand away , "uh , you do not moan
all you 6ay , you men
But I will prove to you that I am in
earnest , if you will only lot mo by my
future devotion , " cries Tom , fairly infatuated -
fatuatod with his companion by this
time
Very well ; I will put you to the
proof "
"I will go through fire and water for
you "
"II is not deed of vnlor that I require
And , in fact , what I am about to pro
pose Ib out of regafd for you Return
to town the day attar tomorrow , and
you shall spend thc-bvoning of that day
with mo " w .
There is a moments pause ,
"WollV" quostidnftTierrotto , drawing
away her hand , , ' ' Have I naked too
much of youV ! * !
Tom etill hesitnttfs Can I see you
horoV" ho nsks
Impossible , monsieur But do not
put yourself out of the way I thought
I was conferring , a great favor upon
you , but I see you , Ju { > vo had enough of
my society " She rises and druwB her
small figure up to its full height Ibid
bid monsieur bon-soir , " she continues ,
turning away , 'H *
"O , Btopl" exclolhty Tom , jumping up
and catching her hand in his Let
mo explain My hesitation Booms in
excusable , I know ; but when you un
derstand my position you will no longer
blnme mo If my , sister Sue had a
mother or futhor I would bo free to fol
low the dictntos of my heart , but as it
is I am the only ono to guard aud to
guldo her , and I cannot leave her here
alonoV"
"So your sibtor is hero ? What costume
tumo docs she wear ? "
She is ono of the Ihiwor girls She
would not show me Iter dross , but she
accidentally lot slip what she was going
to wonr , and of course I recognized her
at ouco
And why cannot you persuade her
to return to town with you ? Is she co
epris wlththls place ?
"No , indeed On the contrary , she is
most anxious to go homo , but wo huvo
only boeu here three weeks , and It Is
really n matter of conscience with inn to
keen her nway for at least two months "
But why should you want your sister
to stay hdro for two long months ? Your
excuse i monsieur , does not sntisfy mo "
"Wnit until you hoar all Botoro wo
caino [ here 1 had been nway on a busi
ness trip which had detained me , unfortunately -
fortunately , long enough tor a good deal
of mlschiof to bo offoutod in my tibBonco ,
After I had been homo a few days Sue
confided \ to ino the unexpected nnd
stnrUiilg news thnt she was very much
in love , and wanted my blessing on the
match she was going to mnko What
was I lo do ? I did not know whether it
wns Sues money or herself that had at
tracted Hugh Uyland , although I liked
the little I hrul seen ot him On the
other hand , she is very young , nnd I
wns notsuro she know ; her own minder
or did you speak ? "
Ho pauses for an Jinswor , but she only
shakos her head , and ho continues :
"Sltuntcd thus I docldcd to bring Sue
awny to n gay ulnco whore her mind
would bo divertedand in the monntimo
I have been making inquiries about
Itylnnd "
And poor Mile SuoV Two months
away from her llancoo in the boglnning
of their engagement , and all for n
whim Ah , monsieur , you nro crtiolt
And iot mo tell you , if your sister Is
steadfast in her determination at the
end of thrco weeks , she will bo so
toujours , what you call always It is
is only mon who tire fickle In a week
you vvill have forgotten Piorrotto "
Her volco quivers
"I will never forgot you , " ho cried
"No j the heart that has truly loved never
forfiots ,
But as truly loves on to the close ,
As the sunflower turnB on her Rod , when ho
sots ,
The same look which she tum'd when tie
rose "
* Why not apply thut to your sister ?
No moro protestations , monsieur
Action sponks louder than words ' If
you euro to boo mo again I will bo at
homo and alone Friday ovonlng Cement
nt half-past 8 , to 74 Blank street Ce
leste , my maid , will receive you Ask
for Mademoiselle Piorrotto , nnd she
will bring you to mo Shall I expect
vou ? " She leans toward him , until
lior head almost rests upon his shoul
der , nnd ono faintly perfumed curl
brushes his cheek With a sudden
movement Tom draws her to him and
prcssos kiss after kiss upon her round
throat She does not struggle
Will you come , chor ami ? " she
whispers
"I will be there , " answers Tom ,
huskily
With an abrupt , quick twitch she
slips from his arms , ana in nn instant
ho is at the door which loads from the
conservatory into the hall
Shade of musk and patchouli , rose
colored lights und nogliges , I dispel
theo , " she cries , reading Toms half
formed thoughts , which perhaps she
had done her utmost to conjure up
She disappeared throuch the portior ,
and Tom , collecting himself " , dnshos
after her in hot pursuit Down the hall
they go Pierrette has a good start , but
Tom has the advantage of long legs , nnd
ho is paining upon her In another
moment she will bo caught but no ,
hho turns to her left and vanishes
into a convenient room , and just
as Tom roaches the spot ho hears the
key turn in the lock Ho stares at the *
blank , oxprobsionloss door helplessly ,
but just then a Hock of maskers come
along , und seizing hold of him , draw
him with a merry jest and laughter
back to the scene of revelry
As soon as Tom can make his escape
he seeks the office and eagerly asks :
Who has room twenty-seven on this
floor ? "
Miss Grey , " responded the clorkand
Tom uttora ahalf suppressed but dis
tinctly naughty oxclumatlon as Miss
Grey , a friend of his sisters , but not
a girl to enhance a mans fancy , rises
before his mind'seyo with her lulllanky
figure , small light eyes , generally cov
ered with glasses , and remarkably largo
hands nnd foot ,
Well Tom , have you had enough of
this deathly dull attair yet ? " asks Sue
Stnuntion , entering the office with her
mask in her hand '
Yes , too much , " answers Tom gloom
ily Suppose wo leave , " ho suggests
It is inexpressibly dull and wearisome
to him now
"I am only too glad to go Gaiety
can never bo interesting to mo when I
am not with Hugh , " she responded with
a sigh .
Tom feels a sensation of pity stealing
ever him
Como , little one , " ho says , caress
ingly stroking her glossy , dark hair as
they mount the Btairs Cheer up
Wo will go homo if you say bo "
Really , Toml O , you darling broth
cr You are always so good to mo that
my conscience rourouchos mo" for ever
having an impatient thought towards
you "
Tom flushes uncomfortably "I did
not know you were in a domino , " ho
says , to change the subject and toosenpo
her gratitude , which ho feels ho does
not deserve "I thought you were the
llowor girl in rod and blue , and I kept
uway from you so you would not bo
known through mo "
"O , no ; it was so much easier to wonr
this than to get up n costume , " she says
and I wus thoroughly disguised Sco ! "
She holds up a small , half mask as she
speaks
Any one who knows you well would
discover you by your mouth , " says Tom
critically You should have luco fall
ing below your chin "
Have you been flirting with a lace
bordered mask , sir , or how do you como
to know so much about these things ? "
Everybody knows thnt much , " responds
spends Tom "By the way , Sue , has
Miss Gray got any one stopping with her
tonight ? "
"No , Tom ; why do you askr"
"Ah , I just wondered if there were
some strangers here "
Sues thoughts are evidently far away
and she does not nnswor
And you nro really going to take mo
homo , Tom ? " she asks at last
"If you want to go , " he responds
nobly
"Oh Tom , " she says earnestly , "If
you only know what this separation has
boon to mo ? " Her eyes fill with tears ,
and she kisses her brother good night
and enters her room , leaving Tom to a
low whlstlo and his own reflections
* * * * * * *
What can bo the matter with you ?
You dp not seem to huvo any appetite ,
Tom , " Bays Sue Staunton to her brother
two bights later , as they are finishing
dinner in their pretty homo in town
"I think ho must bo in love , Hugh , "
she adds , turning with a laugh to her
lover , who seems very muoh amused ut
her remark .
"A late lunch would explain my slim
dinner better , I think , " responds Tom ,
but I. Bupposo you think everybody
must bo in love booauso you uro , " ho
adds teaslngly
She colors , nnd casts a very Bhy look
at her lever , who is gazitig nt her ador
ingly ,
"No , not at all ; but you act like a man
in love , " she cries in defense What
else would bring you homo at 5 o'clook
to begin your tollot , and at ton minutes
past ( Tape you still before the glass , add
ing Iho finishing touches , and letting
your soup grow cold ? "
What has made you consult mo so
anxiously as to the cravat you should
wear ? What has made you choose your
houtonloro , with uu eye to the harmony

time , but I will merely add that a lov
ers impatience will not make the hands
of the clock move faster , oven if ho

With a mock tragic gostuio Tom falls
back in his chair and weekly says :
"Ryland , my boy , take her She is
yours ! She has such wonderful.such
truly remarkable ponotrntion that she
is not safe to have around ' '
Tney all laughed

"No indeed " Tom

"I or that is well , thought I take a

Uo paused to light a cigarette , and
Sue , with a mischievous laugh , says :

She runs off and Tom is loft wonder
