READING SPRITZES
RUTCHIE COASTERS
With Fasnacht Day Near Mar
ket For Ponhaus and Tzitter
lie Declines
Reading, Pa., Feb. 29.—With the
gradual disappearance of the Pennsyl
vania German dialect from a com
munity like Reading, it is surprising,
according to many students here, how
many words of that origin have crept
into the language of those who speak
English only. For instance, the news
papers announce that the police have
made a raid on a lot of coasters, who
were probably arrested on the Chest
nut street "rutchle." Rutch, in Penn
sylvania German, means to slide, and
the coasting grounds are popularly
known as "rutchles" in Reading.
"I hit her because she spritzed me,"
said a defendant in an assault and bat
tery case in court. The defendant
meant that the other person squirted
water over her from a garden hose,
hence she "spiritzed" her.
"What is the price of ponhaus?"
asks a woman of a dealer at market.
The average person would be non
plussed, yet ponhaus" is only an
other name for scrapple.
A Reading baking firm advertises
lebkucha for sale. The outsider is
mystified, but a lebkuch is merely the
old-time German cookie, which has
been popular in this community for
more than 150 years, and lebkucha it
remains, even among the English
speaking population, to this day.
"Give me a pound of kuttlefleck,"
remarks a woman buyer to a butcher
at market. This may sound myster
ious to a stranger, but the butcher
knows what the woman who speaks
English wants. The woman has
merely ordered a pound of tripe.
"Kuttlefleck" is the Pennsylvania-Ger
man name for it.
A Reading housewife may phone To
her favorite butcher in English to send
with her order some "tzitterlie" or
"potwurst," as the case may be.
"Tzitterlie" is the popular Penn
sylvania-German term for pigs' feet
jelly, while "potwurst" comes in pots
or crocks. It is virtually the same
material as liver pudding forced into
casings, hence the literal translation
would be "pot sausage."
A telltale in Pennsylvania-German
is a "retch." A girl pupil of the pub
lic schools was overheard to relate
how her sister had gone to their
teacher and "told on her," but she
put it this way, "She 'retched' on me."
To-day (Shrove Tuesday, in the
Church calendar) every baker will ad
vertise that he will be prepared to
furnish "fasnachts" in unlimited quan
tities. There will be "fasnacht" so
ciables and "fasnacht" parties in
large numbers. Women church work
ers will sell "fasnachts" for tho bene
fit of their congregations. A "fas
nacht" is an old-fashioned doughnut,
fried in lard. They are about an
inch thick and some are three by five
inches in size. In some years statis
tics are printed as to the number of
"fasnachts" consumed in Reading.
Every man, woman and child whoso
digestion is unimpaired is supposed to
eat at least one, and extraordinary
tales are told as to how many can be
stored away by those "to the manner
born." A conservative estimate of
the number which will be needed to
satisfy the city's wants is 100,000. The
day is popularly known among the
English-speaking population, as well
as Pennsylvania Germans, as "Fas
nacht Day."

Dillsburg, Pa., Feb. 20. —I
Several years ago when one of our!

duce corn of a quality for seed. It I
can now be shown that the farms im- j
mediately around Dillsburg can pro- |
duce corn in both quality and quantity, j
R. S. Clark, on Saturday, shipped 680 :

Dent Corn which he raised on his |
farm a part of which is within the

corn growers throughout the country.

corn, was selected as one of the Judges ]
at a corn show in one of the southern
States several years ago. Beside the j
corn shipped from here, on Saturday, j
Mr. Clark will have about a carload j
of corn for marketing, after he re-;
serves enough for use for himself, on J
the farm. Mr. Clark says his yield
will average nearly 100 bushels of j
shelled corn per acre.
