A castle of the Mystic Chain Is to bo organized on Mondnv evening, April !!". In the Odd Fellows' ball, on Depot stieet. rnr, word ciiatllaini:. Something About (lie Derivation nnd llcnntngfl ot the Uoril. Tudor Jenks writes about "Ptferetue Hooks" in the Match St Nicholas. Mr. Jenks says: Suppose a little boy Is re tiling a story, an I hn comes to tie word "chatelaine. ' It may "petn to him nn Irteictlnc bit of langurge Ho thinks he would like to know what Jt meins Consequently, he shuts his book, keeping his linger In the plan', and runs down stnlrs to wheio his father Is husv In the study preparing a speech upon the coming school election. "Father," he snjs, "what Is a chate laine?" We will suppose thit ills fatnei !s a man who hns sutliclent Information to give a genetal answer to the question. ' A chatelaine." he ma" say. "is the lady who is the presiding mlsttess of a cattle." The bov opens his book anil u"i,lq again the sentence In which he found the word. Th.m he giggles "Thut can't be light." he says, "for bote It speaks of a lady v. no 'hung a chatelaine to her belt ' liebidts, it rays that the ch itelalne was of hammered silver; so It can't lie a ladv who is irdstteps of a castle ' "Oh," his fathct roplls. "that Is dlf feient. Theie the woid means u little contllvpnte ladle" v.'iar at their belts to hold chains fiom which they suspend kejs nnd tablets, pillboxes, and such things " "Then how did you come to miko such a mistake?" the boy asks. "It was not a mistake." his father replies. "The woul means what I said, too ' 'It is queer that It should mean two such dlfterent things How doej It hap pen"'" the boy asks. Then the father if he happens to lie tho right kind of a father puts aside his w oik and bays, "Hrit.g tne the dic tionary " The dictionary Is bi ought, and open ed to the word, nnd futliT and son devote a few moments to the lnquliy how a single word can have two mean ing apparently so different. They llnd that "chatelaine" comej from the Fiench nnd was nt first s-pelled chapte lalne, but that the "s" his dlsapi eared, leaving only a little footprint In the shape of an accent over the a. Then It is discovered that chatclilne Is leally a form cl the word castellan, a -hiiit fotm of the Latin word eastellanu11, meaning a man who Is ilie keeper or owner of a caUellum, or castle. An J then the dictionary says "v. castle," to they turn b ick to castle Thev find that castle comes fiom castel or chas te!, which is the same woid. In a dif ferent form, that now appenis as "chateau," and that It comes from the Latin castrum, meaning a camp, whllo ca-tium comes fiom casa, the Latin for hut, a woid still In the same form in Italian. (A curious Instance of this wotd is seen in the name of tho boy who stood upon the burning deck, Cas abi'inca, w hlch is simply "White house" ) Casa Is the same word as 'case," or cover, that is, a coveilng fiom the weather, and tint comes from the Sanskrit loot chhnil, which means a cover Also from the samo loot come ' casoek," "chasuble," and "lusino," which, It may surpilse you to learn are lelatlvcs of the chate laine with which we started. Now when we come to the meaning of clute laln. ve see that It meant, at litst, the mistress of u cnrtle that Is, a keeper of the keys to Its supplies and stoics the housekeeper or housew ife; and thnt hei name was applied to the little bunch of keys carrkd at her belt. Just as In English wo speak of a "house wife," meanlig a little cncc or box that contains needles, thread, sclssois, thimble, and bo on. So now we can see exactly how the same word can menu 'a lady who Is mlstiehs of a castle," and "a little connivance for carrying at the belt keys and other useful things." ' Alter the boy has learned ull theso ihlngs. he tutus to hla fatner a little I moi utility, and sa, Humph! U I bad Known you wire going to loon m .l.i dictionary, I cnil.1 havi done that mybttf." Then. If his father doesn't say, "Why didn't you?' we jurselves may add that little moral to the fa Me. INFANTICIDE IN INDIA. The Number of llnbiet .Murdered Is Nnrlv Two-Third ofTliose Horn. From tho London Standard In modern times China used to be a by-word for this crime. Wo know more of tho tountiy now. nnd the wild ex aggeration of the first reports, when missionaries began to labor theie, causes many people, lesldeuts especial ly, to disregard the evil which exists. Hy a natural reaction Infanticide has become u standing Jest for the mystltl cation of "new cluimB." nut It would seem that the eatly leports fiom FIJI und the Sandwich Islands were not much exaggerated. One can hardly credit the asset Hon of Mr. Williams, caieful us he wus generally, that the number of babies muideredwa "neurer two. till) lis than one-holf of those born " Hut ho makes u statement even inmi extraordinary.

Mr. Williams actually knew nn Instance where the mother did nwuy with her own orfsptltiE In order to adopt a young relative! Hut tho most striking of nil examples occur nmong varlotm tribes of India, We get an Idea of the state of things among the Khonds In 1854, when Major Campbell lcporteil with exultation that ho had no less than 001 girls registered In his district, which contained 2,149 families. And he had good cause to exult, for when his labors began, seven years beforc.searcely one could bo seen, in tho powerful Crohon tribe nround Mynpurle, Mr. Unwln vainly Inqulicd for nn unmarried girl. The family rec ords of the chief, going back mnny gen erations, did; not show one single daughter. In 18D5 Mr. Mooro found the villages of the Hennres district con taining 20 gills to 117 boys: In twenty live the ptoportlons were M to 2C1, In thltty tl to 313, In sixty-two he could discover no gill under five years. These figures ate enough, but nmong the RaJ puta Infanticide was yet moro common. The dltllculty nnd expense of finding a son-tn-law hcceptnble In caste and sta tion were the motives n vowed Hut the leader has been asking a question ull through, no doubt How could the mothers endure this system. One may undei stand a la tlgueur, that a man should bo willing to destroy his babe Just boin when he saw no hat m In so doing, and all the nelglibois did the like Hut we have been taught to bellve that the maternal Instinct dnrcs and suffers any trial. A sheep will die to protect Its lamb, and a hen will face a tiger Hut It Is not so with women If certain conditions be obseived. Fp on this point the evidence of the com missioners Is detailed, ubundnnt, and conclusive. It would uppenr that the maternal instinct does not begin to op erate until a woman has at least seen and touched her bab Knowing this by experience the midwife kept it out of sight until the father had pio nounced. In noithwestern Etnope they did likewise, ns we lea n by many de scriptions And when this piecautlon was used the mother submitted with out setious distil s-8 ti:aciii:ks aim: underpaid.

Even though the teacher possess the stilt It of a mlsslonaiv and receive a poitlon of her lew aid fiom the good she can do, stilt she cannot ily In the faee of nature n gieat while without making lestltu tlon In some mnnnei. Yet it Is a la mentable fait thnt teachers on tho nveinge receive far less foi theii work than do the members of most If not all other professions There are today In the public schools of elementary and secondary grade In our count) y ovet three hundied and eightj -eight thous and teachers who tecelve nn nveinge of fifty dollnis per month Among these are Includ d ninny who have been ti .lined In seminaries, colleges, and uni versities, and a lnige number who nte ki minutes of normal and high schools Most of them nte obliged to icslile away from home the gi eater unit of the yeai, and so are nt coinpniatlvely large expense in the maintenance ot daily life. It can be seen that what is left after iii'cessltles aie piovlded for must be veiy meagie Indeed If It weie possible now to nsceitaln the nvuiage Income of the luwyeis, doctors, and other proftifconal men in the eountiy It would In all piobablllty appear to be a number of times thnt of the aveiagi school teacher It is a. fact of common nhscivattnii that young men of ambition but of limited means who engage in nubile school teaching continue at It but a shut time only long enough to accumulate a sullieliniy to pay olf debts, or to prepare foi some other profession, and it is univei sally admitted that in n financial a a young mun has far grentei advantages as a law yet, even of the pettifogger sort, than does a teacher of the llnest quality. If we eompaie the salaries of those In the employ of the government In Its v allium de'iartments with the wages of public school teachets as al ready given, we see that the most mod el ntely paid positions yield at least twice as much ns does school teaching, while the most luciatlve places yield many times as much as do the majoi -Ity of places in public, schools Of couise It would be li.ndlv revel entlnl to eompaie the highest positions In the gift of the state, as the presidency, headships of depaitments Judgeships In high com ts. governorships, member ships in the national leglslatuie. etc, with the best places In the public H"hool set vice, but it wou'd seem leasonable for teacheis to expect that they should tecelve as much for their labms as a clerk or a typew titer In the employ of the government From "Some Social Aspects of School Teaching," by M. v O'Shea, In Nmth American Review ONE PAPER'S COOI) MOIIK. Ncnrly 10,000 Contributed in Two Week for Ctilinu sulfcrcrn. From the Washington Post. Shortly after the destruction of the Maine the Kansas City Star sent Its Washington correspondent, Mr Albei t Miller, to Huvnna Upon anlval there ho found It tmpossiblb to bend truthtui dispatches over the wire, owing to the strict Spunlsh censorship, and that to lemaln In Havana was a waste of time He went to Mutanzas, and, In common with every American who has visited that town, came away penniless Has tening to Kansas City ne placed before his chief the facts together with a practical plan for icllef which he had evolved on the way. This being heart ily approved, ho Immediately began op erations by printing In tho Star of March 11 a pluln, foiclblo statement of the suiferlng he had seen, und pto posed to the leaders of tho Star that they adopt Matanzas nnd save the lives of the poor people herded there. Every farmer was united to send, from his abundance, one bushel of potatoes. If no more; every housekeeper to order her grocer to leave ut least ono can of condensed milk at tho headquurters provided In fact, everybody was asked to do what tio could Tho lesult was that In less than two weeks nenily $10,000 cash has been con tributed and twenty-one carloads of provisions, clothing and medicines are on the way to Cuba. The gieat hearted Western people iesonded so generously nnd promptly that no sec ond appeal was necessary, but each day several column of the Star were devoted to acknowledging the contil buttons of the twenty-four hours pre vious When tho two trulnloads left Kansas City the Inhabitants turned nut In honor of the occasion nnd sent them on their mission of mercy with hearty cheers. Tho railways transported these curs to New Orleans without charge, which was a contribution of about $2,000, and nil roads Into Kansas City brought everything billed to "The Star" free of cost. The government authorized Mr. Miller to charter a ship at New Orleons to transport the goods across the gulf, and so tho $10,000 cash may be devoted entirely to supplying the needs ot Mat anzas. Through the practical, systematic ef fort of one active man COO tons of food, clothing and medicine, beside $10,000 In money, were gathered together and started on the way to Cuba within two weeks. Mr. MUlcr will nrrlve In Mntanzas Sunday moinlng to supervise the distribution of the ship's cargo up on its urrlvu! which will probably bo Monday or Tuesday. - i lAKINt; THE ( IIANUES.
