We nT Taken Nome From the ii;!ili anil Invented Very Many Onrselvmi How We Came to Arlopt Some of the Ihrars Which Are In Grneral ri. Mention lias boen recently imiile of the dli-putril origin of the word "tee total," claimed by two inventors, one living in England ami the other in America, nnd each of whom nmy Imve hit npon tho word independently mid for tlio different trnsens assigned. To enriotts minded percoim who like to kuow tlio whys, wlieiis nnd wherefores' of everything the origin of pnpnlnr catehwifds nnd iljureg of Fpcich is nil interesuiifr pnnjeri. The word "imicliine, an we rise it po litically, is number which, li!:o "ten- total," is of doubtful parentage. In the days of the old volunteer lire oomrrui ion. which in Iiukh cities weiopuletit iactnt'H in Jural polities, the phrase "In run With the machine" caino into cnniinen nso, mid it meant that it man so spoken of wuk iileutilled with t he political co terie of the firo company with which he trained. Tho famous boss Tweed liemiii his career in New York "running with the machine" as a volunteer lireman. Yet the term us wo now employ it was nsed in England long before. The Duke of WolliiiKton, in a letter to a friend in 1845 deplnfiiiK tho incrcasim; influence of popular agilation on I lie action of tho houses of parliament, raid: "uch is the operation of tho machine as now estab lished that no iudividual, bo his char acter, conduct in antecedent circum stances and his abilities what they may, can have any personal influenco in gen eral. " Wo may have derived onr term "the machine" from our old volunteer fire compauy days, lint in tho hnghim! of Wellington's time there were no fire companies exerting any political influ ence. Thntmnch overworked word "crnnk" gained universal vogue in connection with Gnitean's nssassination of Presi dent Garfield, bnt it was long before that applied by the late Don Piatt, who claimed to be its inventor, to Horace Greeley, the purpose of it being to liken the f anions editor to the crank of a hand organ, whioh is forever grinding ont the same old tnnes. The word, as we have now come to apply it, means much mora and worse. It implies a condition of mind verging npou insanity, and this has given rise to the erroneous notion that it has its origin in the German word "krank." The word "dago," now commonly applied to Italians all over the country, came originally from Louisiana, where it at first referred only to people of Spanish origin, bnt was later applied to Italians and Portuguese as well. The word is a corruption of "Diego" (James), which is a common Spanish name, San Diego being the patron saint of the Spnniards. Another word of incessant employ ment in American speech is "dude," with its feminine complement, "du dine. " This may have come to ns from the old English word tor clothes "duds," in earlier times spelled "dudes." Thaokeray writes of one of his charac ters: "Her dresses were wonderful, her bonnets marvelous. Few women could boast such dudes." Shakespeare, in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," writes of a "bncke of dudes," meaning a bas ketfnl of olothes ready fur washing. Its present day literary currency dates from February, 1870, when the word appear ed in Putnam's Magazine. Cut a famous New York clubman, Mr. Hermann Oelrichs, claims the credit of first start ing it as a popular term of contempt or ridicule for an overdressed person. He claims that a youth of this type who passed by the Union club window with a mincing step provoked himself and another clubman to hum together an ac companiment to the youth's walk, thus, "Da, da, de, da da, da de," and that he remarked "Good enough: dude is the proper name for it," and that thus the word was born. The words "jingo" and "Jingoism" are also of disputed derivation. We all know about the English music hall song which set the word going with a new meaning in 1877, but the original coin age of the terra "By jingo 1" is quite doubtful In the Basque language the word Jingo means God, and it is widely believed that "By Jingo!" was form of oath with which the Basque sailors familiarized the English sailors and, through them, all English speaking peo ple. But others believe the word is a corruption of St Gingoulph. It is one of the oddities of popular wordmaking that the term "jingoism," as now nsed, is a complete travesty of the sentiment of the song from whioh it was taken. A jingo, either in England or Amerioa, is now set down as a man spoiling for fight, eager for war at any cost. Bat the original mniio hall song, with the jingo chorus, expressed exactly the opposite sentiment a desire for peace. It began with "We don't want to fight," and its fiercest war note was struck in the dec laration that if they had to do what they would rather not, they had plenty of tnen, ships and money. Speaking of "Brother Jonathan," there is no doubt about its origin. When General Washington went to Mas sachusetts to take command of the Revo lutionary army, be found great lack of ammunition and other supplies. Be turned for nid to Oovemor .lonathan Trumbull of Cnnneeticnt, and got it, nnd in many emerg?neles of that period he nsed the phrase, "We must consult Brother Jonathan on tho subject" Tho expression become nationally current, and it stands as tho American parallel to ''John Bull." Baltimore Sun. The Cncnnibrr ftpnnce. Ill the encumber sponge (Enplec tella encumber) we hiwo a ppreitneti of ouo which lies upon tho mml nfter the manlier of Its nntnesakn, which it some what resembles. Perhaps, however, the most beuntiful of all these filiciom sponjies is Enplcctcllii nspergillnm, or, as it is commonly called, Venus' (low er basket. It is llku n beautiful horn of glassy fibers or n (jraccfnl buticpiet holder. The tlrst specimen of this sponge in England canio into the possession of the late Professor Owen in 1MI. It was hold liy him ns a (jreitt treasure. It was soon followed by a few mere specimens, which were sold in the market nt about 0 apiece, hut now that they have been found to bo m plentiful they may ho bought for ns many shillings. Tlieso sponges were found by the ChaHt'iiger expedition to he growing in vast nbtuid- nncn in certain sputa in the deep waters among the Philippine islands and also off the coast of lirazil. "They livo buried in mud v. hlch is so soft and loose as not to crush them or in nny way to impede the assumption of their elegant form, and they nto supported in their position nnd prevented from sinking by a friii'ie of Rlassy spicules. "The tnlio of this specimen from the Philippines, after the death of the sponge, is frequently inhabited by one, sometimes by a pair, of decapod crusta ceans. " Ho reminds one forcibly of the hermit crab wo have nil seen living in dead shells npon onr own shores. "These," says the same author, "nro so often found together that only a fow years ago a paper was written to show that this sponge was a wonderful haliitation con structed by this crub. " Good Words. Rppechlm and Swollen. A story at the expense of tfir William ' Harcourt is worth repeating. Heforo his recent departure for tho continent the j ex-clinucellor of the exchequer spent j soma time nt the seaside, nnd on one oc- c&sion visited a mau-ef -war lying on the Hampshire const. After dinner, the weather proving rather rough, the captain, an unusually . smnll and dapper man, suggested that ( Sir William should sleep on bonrd, nnd thoughtfully surrendered his own berth , for the night to his distinguished guest. Next morning, nt the early hour when ; the captain usually rose, the hitter's , snilor servaut, who knew nothing of the change of berths, brought a cup of coffee to the cabin door and knocked once ' or twice without receiving an answer. Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped in his head and asked : "Don't yon want your ooffee this morning, sir?" The only reply was in tho nature of a growl, and the terrified sailor beheld a gignutio figure turning over nuder the ' bedclothes. Dropping tho enp of cofloo, the faithful servaut rushed to the ship's surgeon, exclaiming: "For goodness' sake, sir, come to the captain at once. lie's speechless, nnd swollou to ten times his natural size. " Strand Magazine A lirllllant Confederate. A prestidigitator, in the conrse of an exhibition in New York recently, had one of the audience select one card from pack and then he handed a sheet of paper to another spectator, a timid look ing blond man. The professor, who did not see the card, announced that after it had been returned to the pack tho de scription of it would be found written on the papor. The card was the eight of hearts. It was taken out by the profess or. "Is that it the eight of hearts?" asked the professor. "That's all right," answered the timid looking man. Bnt he was a very conscientious man, and later he insisted on tolling the andience that the professor had written on the paper, "Please say, 'That's all right' " Nature Mo Sabbatarian. The Rev. David Maorae bas brought together in most interesting little vol ume, entitled "Quaint Sayings of Chil dren," a number of stories, many of them old, but nearly all of them good. There is one, evidently told in print for the first time, of little girl in Aber deen who brought basket of strawber ries to the minister very early on Mon day morning. "Thank you, my little girl," he said; "they are very beautiful But I hope yon didn't gather them yes terday, which was the Sabbath day?" "No, sir," replied the ohild, "I palled them this morning.

One Woman Thinks It l a Paginating (Iport, bnt Not HncecMful. "Oh, bnt economy is a fascinating theory," exclaimed the woman in a tailor frock. "It's nliuost as exciting as a lottery ticket or playing the races. You put in a little nnd get ont a lot of something. I always lead those articles in tho housekeeping paper that tell how yon can make a walnut sideboard ont of a pine piano box nnd cozy cor ners ont of hint year's chicken coops and cntehalls that fill nil beholders with uvy out of your old overshoes. " "Yes," agreed said she in the picture hat, "I think thoso descriptions are per fectly fascinating, mid I mean to try j some of them when I get a little money I ahead.

Interesting fltatlntlcs of Transportation la the English, Capital. Somo interesting details have appear ed in a report on the omnibus and tram car service of Loudon. Tho tramways, which correspond to our car lines, ure all of 4 foet 8 inches gango except two lines, which are only 8 feet 0 inches. There are in the city 71 distinct routes, of which 68 are in use. The mileage of the worked lines is given as 849. The average speed of a London trout is 5.48 miles per honr ; that of a London omni bus is 5.S miles per hour. The average tiam fare is 07-100ths of a penny (3 cents) por mile. Tho average omnibus faro is 93-lOOths of a penny per mile. There nro 879 oars on the linos, which among them rnn 17,160 single journeys during their day's work, which lasts on the average 10 hours and 44 minutes. Tho omnibuses nro more thnn twice as many. There nre 3,180 of them, nnd those are run 86,000 single, journeys in tho course of a day that avorages 13 hours nnd 83 minutes. There are 13 London tram companies. In the conrse of a year their cars rnn 33,787,000 miles and carry 836,308,000 passengers. The Loudon omnibuses run 49,783,000 miles a year and carry 820,000,000 pnssougers. To work its tram cars Loudon re quires 10,0113 horses; to work its omni buses it has 36,678. A summary of these figures shows that there are 8,239 vehicles employed, worked by 86,006 horses, traveling 72,600,000 miles and carrying 661,846,000 passengers in a year. It is calculated that each of the 800 omnibuses which pass the Mansion House in on hour will travel 04 miles a duy, carrying 430 passengers as its day's work and earning 8s.

The tone of popular sentiment is much the same. The attitude toward ques tions of general human interest is often identical. Politioal ideals are, at bot tom, not so unlike as superficial observ ers fancy. Party spirit manifests Itself in very similar fashion. Both are sensi tive though in slightly varying degrees, to the same appeals. The same national spirit animates both, showing itself in quite characteristic fashion when the jealousy of one is aroused against the other. Indeed it is in their mutual rival ries and jealousies that their spiritual kinship is often most manifest Their diversity is superficial and provincial; their unity fundamental and racial. The American who can divest himself of provincialism in England and the Englishman who ean lay aside' his in sularity in America each finds himself at home. Edward M.

A. Lnnipman In Youth's Companion. . DOG AND STUFFED TIGER. A, Little Incident t'roin New fork City's Varied street Mte. "In n Broadway show window, " said a stroller, "there is a particularly big nnd handsome tiger, Mulled, that I havo often looked at in passing. Isa.viu front of this stoin the other day a man who had with him n trcmomlotuly big, shaggy dog. Tin man looked nt tho tiger, and stopped and tried to draw tlio dog's ttttcntion to it. But tho dog didn't look that way, and, in fact, ha didn't Etop. Ho hIowccI down, Jnst us ono man might have done for another who had utopped for n moment to look in n win dow or to speak to a friend, and when ho had moved ahead n fow steps in that wny, not finding himself overtaken, ho did just ns a man might have done again. He swung round with tho mimo meas ured trend and enino back to tho w in dow. Then the master, with n faint smile, ngiiiu invited tho big dog to look at tho tiger, hut instead of doing that tho big dog looked up into his master's face and wagged his tail, and tho mas ter looked down nnd smiled at his dog; then tho man started on down Broad way, with tho big dog wagging his tail, walking along besido him. "But whilo the big dog had shown no desire to look nt the tiger, had, in fact, shown rather nil aversion to looking at it, it did not appear that this avciii,n came in uuy degree whatever from ftur. The perfect self possession mid the deep aud unbroken good humor of the dug were unmistakable; apparently he tiim ply didn't care for tigers mid didn't want to look at this one, but it did seem that if it had been possible for the tiger to come to life uud step down from the wiudow and around and ont through tho door on to the sidewalk then the big dog would not have walked away ; that there would then have been there on the side walk the loftiest scrap that Broadway ever saw, with the chances well, the ohauoes were in favor of the dog. "New York Sun. fjnlqae Pianos. "All manner of articles in place of wood have been used in the manufac ture of pianos," says one of the great est English pinno makers. "Perhaps the most successful of these is paper, of which many pianos of exqnisite tone and appearance have been made, Tho Duke of Devonshire hns one of the finest specimens of the paper pinno, this being of French make, and decorated most or natoly with pictures by French artists. The duke give 600 guineas for this, mainly, no doubt, on account of the or namentation. I suppose you know that pianos for very hot nnd very cold cli mates all instruments for export, in fact have to be specially mode, and in this direction all manner of experiments hnve beon triod. Among others, a sort of cellulose, one factor in which is ac tually common molasses, from which sugar is mndo, is employed, and a com position made from the chemical treat ment of gntta percha and leather pulp has been tried. Ivory pianos nre by no means unoommou, and the dowager Countess of Dndley has a magnificent carved apeoimen. Pianos of ivory are, I might say, made every year in numbers, but chiofly for Indian princes and rich Spanish Americans. Many pianos of solid silver have been made; Indeed, one was only recently completed by a London firm for the nizam of Haidara bad, and piano cases have at various times been made of bronze, a species of aluminium, glass, porcelain and in com bination mother of pearl. "Exchange. Lighted Cigar on the Elevated. "Perhaps it would bo too much to ex pect the elevated road to enforce its rule prohibiting the carrying of lighted cigars on the curs," said Mr. Biffington, "bnt how would it do to amend that rule so as to moke it prohibit the carrying of lighted bud cigars and theu enforce it? It would be a difficult thing to do, I know ; the man who stood on the plat form to prevent the carrying aboard of lighted 'twofers' would need to be not, only a connoisseur in tobacco, but an athlete, too, and even then he might make mistakes in one way or tho other, but it would be an effort in the right di rection."
