is Most hybrid of words
Remacadamizing Comes From Latin,
Gaelic, Hebrew, Greek and
Finally English.
The most bybrid word in the Eng-
lish language, according to Prof. A.
F- Chamberlain of Clarke university,
is -“remacadamizing.” Prof. Clarke
points out that this word is derived
from five languages—Latin, Gaelic,
Hebrew, Greek and English. He re-
solves it into five factors as follows:
1. .re, a Latin prefix, signifying a
repetition er doing over again.
2. mac, a Gaelic word for son, in
common use as a prefix for genealog-
ical purposes.
3. Adam, the representative in many
European languages of the Hebrew
name of the first man, according to
the Mosaic account of the creation as
given in the book of Genesis.
4. Iz (or ize), the modern English
representative, through the French,
Iser, of the Greek verbal terminal
Izein,
5. ing, the English suffix of the par-
ticiple present, verbal noun, etc.
The root of the word “macadam”
'llustrates in another way the vitality
of our English speech and its ability
to draw new words into its vacabulary
whenever the need arises. The term
"macadam" is really the family name
of the man, John Macadam, who in
1819 devised the now common meth-
pd of paving roads with small broken
stones, etc.
Celtic and Semitic had already com-
bined to produce Macadam, meaning
•‘son of Adam,” which the English
language then, took up and further
molded to suit its genius. There are
many such hybrids, but this is prob-
ably the worst.—Popular Science
Monthly.
Songs of Day Before Yesterday.
We made up a catalogue recently oi
popular songs of the last two decades.
Hardly was it set in type before
those omitted began to swarm to
memory. “Shoo Fly! Don’t Bother
Me” might have been added to the old
timers. There were: “Put Me Off
at Buffalo," “And Her Golden Hair
Was Hanging Down Her Back, “On
the Banks of the Wabash Far Away,”
•‘Rosie O’Grady," "Take Me Back,
Back, Back to Baltimore,” and “I’d
Leave My Happy Home for You-oo-oo-
oo-oo,” “Goodby, Dolly Gray," “She
Was Happy Till She Met You,” "Be-
delia, “Sammy,” and “Teasing” had
their intense and fleeting existence.
Too popular to be overlooked were:
•‘Mr. Dooley,” “In the Shade of the
Old Apple Tree,” “Everybody Works
but Father, “Waiting at the Church.”
Of the whole crop it seems as if all
were transitory except “There’ll Be
a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.”
Collier’s Weekly.
Urges Farmers to Raise Fish.
“There are signs that the time is
not far distant,” said William E. Mee-
han, former state commissioner of
fisheries and present state director of
the public aquarium InFairmount Park,
“when farmers will consider fish cul-
ture as important a part of their call-
ing as the raising of grain or pota-
toes or pountry. When that day ar-
rives the fish industry of Pennsylvania
will rank as high as any other indus-
try.
“There are few farms in Pennsyl-
vania without springs, a stream and
swampy land of which no use is
made and upon which the farmer pays
taxes without any return. Most of
the streams and the springs and the
swamp land could be utilized for the
rearing of fish. Under intelligent care
an otherwise useless piece of wet land
can be made to yield as much, acre
for acre, as the most fertile land."-

Stone Venus 20,000 Years Old.
/ Prof. Camile Juan read a paper at
the last meeting of the French Acad-
emy of Inscription describing the dis-
covery in the Dordogne of the oldest
known representation of the human
form. 'The find was due to Dr. La-
lanne, who has spent some time in ex-
cavating in the grottoes of. Laussel.
It consists of a piece of stone some
18 inches high, showing a bas relief
of a woman, and is estimated to be
at least 20,000 years old. The fig-
ure has been named the “Laussel Ve-
nus." Scientists believe the work is of
the Aurignacian epoch between the
ages of the mammoth and the rein--
deer, when the artist would have used
sharpened flints as tools.
Thief Returns Gold Watch.
A gold watch was received at the
Chicago postoffice in a box, with the
following inscription:
"Please deliver to the chief of po-
lice of the city of Chicago.”
The timepiece is believed to have
been stolen, and the thief, remorse
stricken, dropped the package in a
mail box without postage.
Crystals In Yellow Pigment of Egg.
/ Two German scientists have just
isolated the yellow pigment from the
yoke of the egg, the resultant being
in the form of crystals. Investigations
made into the chemical nature of this
substance point to its being close-

ed leaves, which Is formed from the

CADLE SHIP BRINGS
190 OF TITANIC DEAD
FIFTY-SEVEN IDENTIFIED WERE
BURIED AT SEA.
NO FAVORITISM IS SHOWN
Col. Astor’s Body Is First One Pre
pared for Removal to New
York.
Halifax, N. S., May 1.—The cable
ship Mackay-Bennett, which came with
190 of the White Star Liner Titanic’s
dead into Halifax Tuesday first cast
gloom over the city by her mere pres-
ence as a funeral ship, and sent a
shock through those waiting for her.
with the announcement of her com-
mander that fifty-seven of those report-
ed by wireless as identified had of nec-
essity been cast again into the sea.
Yet none, not ever the few here
whose friends or relatives had thus
been recommitted to the Atlantic, ex-
pressed and criticism of Capt Lardner's
action, believing him sincere in his
explanation that lack of space on
board, shortage of embalming mate-
vial and the mutilation of bodies were
responsible for his course.
That there was no favrotism shown
in the reburial, that bodies of promi-
nent person were not kept aboard to
the exclusion of the more humble, is
indicated by the White Star Line’s
announcement that among those bod-
ies.sunk again was that of George D.
-Widener, the Philadelphia capitalist.
Although this appears to be mistake,
in that Mr. Widener’s son, now here,
believes from Capt Lardener’s descrip-
tion of the body, was that of his fath-
er’s valet, the name Widener stands
on the official list of reburried as is-
sued by the White Star Line.
Perhaps never was an occasion so
fraught with gruesome aspects, mark-
ing a closing chapter of one of the
greatest disasters on record, attended
with more respectful silence and lack
of morbid curiosity than was the dock-
ing of the Mackay-Bennett. Not a half
dozen of those actually concerned, vis-
ited the pier proper and the general
public contributed not more than 200.
They stood, in silence overlooking the
terrace into the navy dockyard 300
yards away.
It was nearly 4 o’clock when the
claimants of bodies began to arrive,
there. Nicholas Biddle of Philadelphia,
who accompanied Vincent Astor here
In a private car, went alone to identify
the Colonel’s body, and it was the first
prepared for removal to New York.
The body of Isidor Straus, a few
moments later was turned over to Mau-
rice Rothschild of New York, and in
quick succession with little or no cere-
mony the bodies of Frank D. Millet,
the artist; H. J. Allison of Montreal,
and many others were given in charge
of friends.
The result of the Mackay-Bennett’s
voyage may be summarized as follows:
Number of Titanic dead brought to Hal-
ifax 190, number of identified dead
brought to Halifax 130, unidentified
dead in morgue 60, identified dead bur-
ied at sea 57, unidentified deadburied
at sea-59, total dead buried at sea 116,
total dead found by Mackay-Bennett
306.
BLOODY DEFEAT FOR REBELS.
Band of 2,000 Under Guerrero Routed
By Federal Force at Tepic.
Tepic, Mexico, (by Courier to El
Paso, Tex.): With 220 dead and more
than this number wounded, many of
whom were unable even to crawl from
the field of battle, 2,000 rebels under
command of Manual Guerrero has been
completely routed by the garrison of
this city, aided by the police of the lo-
cal commandery.
The attack began April 24, the rebels'
operating in the hills surrounding Te-
pic on the day previous and demand-
ing the surrender of the garrison,
which was under command of Col. Mar-
tin Espinoza. Wednesday afternoon
Col. Espinoza replied to the message
from the rebel chief with a cannon
ball, which, landing on a flat-topped
hill on which a number of the rebels
had gathered, killed three of them and
wounded two others.
In the garrison were 315 men of the
Seventh, Eighth and Fourteenth Cav-
alry, all dismounted, their horses re-
maining in the patio of the cuartel.
Added to these was small body of-
State police mounted and 110 foot po-
lice from the city’s streets, a total
force of 475 loyal Federals.
To Dissolve Harvester Company.
St. Paul, Minn.: By filing a petition

ment asks: That the $140,4000,000 cor-
poration be dissolved on the ground

Mineral Point Lady Tells About An
Experience That Almost Drove
Her Insane.
Mineral Point, Mo.—Mrs. Clara
Cluff, of this place, says: “I had a
pain in my left side and back, and
suffered a great deal with womanly
troubles.
I would take spells that lasted two
or three days, when it seemed like I
was uneasy all the time, and didn’t
feel like doing anything.
I couldn’t sleep good at night. I
felt as though I had just done a hard
day’s work. -
I had suffered for six years, and I
can’t tell you just how I did feel, I
felt so bad. The doctors’ treatment
didn’t seem to help, and I was so blue
I was almost crazy!
I tried Cardul, and before I had
taken two bottles I felt much better.
I took 12 bottles in all.
Now, though I haven’t taken any
for a good while, I still feel all right
—better than I have for years.
I would have been crazy If Car-
dui hadn’t helped me.”

“Why don’t you let the maid do

“She’s so careless,” groaned Aunt
Beulah; “I’d rather have the pain

Easily Overcome by Counsel.
"The trouble is,” said Wilkins as
he talked the matter over with his
counsel, “that in the excitement of
the moment I admitted that I had been
going too fast, and wasn’t paying any
attention to the road just before the
collision. I’m afraid that admission
is going to prove costly.”
