This is the famous America’ s cup,
the most famous trophy in the
realm of sport.
Concerning the
schooner tradition hands us down
a rather interesting story o f an in­
cident in her career in England
The boat was designed by George
Steers, then only thirty-one years
old, and he and his brother built
her in William H. Brown’ s yard.at
the foot of East Twelfth street
The Steers brothers accompanied
her when she went to England, and
as her fame grew she attracted an
increasing amount of attention. One
day the Marquis of Anglesea,
veteran of Waterloo, made his way
aboard and asked to see the builder
o f the boat. An officer suggested
that he call Mr. Stevens.
“ Who’s Mr. Stevens?” asked the
visitor.
“ He’s the owner o f this vessel.”
“ Did he invent her?”
“ No, sir.”
pjj
“ Well, confound it,” roared the
old nobleman, “ I don’t care any
thing about the owner. I want to
see the man who had brains enough
to design her.”
George Steers accordingly was
summoned, and when the veteran
saw a “ mere hoy” he sat down 6ud
denly on the ôabin roof.' Now, his
trousers were white duck and the
cabin had been freshly painted
green. The result may he imagined
But the marquis didn’ t care.
“ Hang the trousers,” he cried
“ so long as I ’ ve seen the genius who
invented this boat!”
There was a report that the com
inodore did not like this overmuch
At all events the Steers brothers
did not remain with the boat, but
returned home. They were on the
steamship Baltic en route for New
York when the America won the
now classic cup.— New York Post.

Secret societies are so ancient
that their origin is lost in the mists
of the past. They existed in Egypt,
Persia, India, at the earliest times
with which history or legend gives
us any insight. It seems, to he nat­
ural for men to organize such soci­
eties for both good and evil pur­
poses. Nearly all the ancient reli­
gions were o f a two faced character,
popular and secret, or, as they are
called, “ esoteric” and “ exoteric,”
the first for the few, the initiated,
the second for the rank and file.
The philosophers would teach one
thing to the masses of the people
and another to the select few who
made up the “ inner circle.” Cicero
tells us that the wise men of Rome
and Greece believed quite different­
ly from the common run of Greeks
and Romans.
Jasmine Wreaths.
In Tuscany brides wear jasmine
wreaths, and there is a legend that
a once reigning grand duke, who at
great expense procured this flower
for his own particular garden, gave
orders to his gardener not to part
with any flowers or clippings; but
the gardener, who was in love, took
a sprig to his sweetheart as a gift.
She, being shrewd, planted it and
raised from it several small plants,
which she sold to the duke’ s envious
neighbors at a great, price. In a
short time she had saved sufficient
money to enable her lover and her­
self to marry and start housekeep­
ing, and so the Thscang have a say­
ing that “ the girl worthy of wearing
the jasmine wreath is rich enough
to make her husband happy.”
The Word “ Calico.?
The word “ calico” had a queer
origin.
Many centuries ago the
first monarch of the province of
Malabar, in Hindustan, gave to one
of his chiefs as a reward for distin­
guished services his sword and all
the land within the limit o f which
a cock crowing at a certain temple
could he heard. From tKis circum­
stance the little town which grew
up in the center of this territory
was called Calicoda, or “ the cock
crowing.” Afterward it was called
Calicut, and from this place the
first cotton goods were imported
into England bearing the word “ cal­
ico.”
Mere Gossip.
“ I suppose, Eileen,” she remark-,
ed to the- new girl, who feigned in­
difference, “ that you overheard my
husband and me conversing rather
earnestly this morning. I hope,
however, that you did not think
anything unusual was going on.”
“ Niver a bit, mum. Oi wanst had
a husband meself, an’ niver a day
passed that th’ neighbors didn’t be-
lave one or the other nv us would
be kilt entoirely.” — Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph.
H A T youth and energy are great assets none
will deny. They help a lot in The battle of,
life. Frequently, however, men who pos­
sess both youth and energy suddenly dis­
cover that they need a little capital. A
'
business opportunity finds them without
any cash.
Young man, don’t he caught this way. The success­
ful business men of the country freely declare that
they owe their success mainly to the fact that they
opened a bank account early in life. Then when the
chance for an investment came along they were ready
for it. Youth and energy make a fine combination.
But youth, energy and capital are invincible.

We would rather be- known as
“ particular” printers than as chea,p
printers. We have noticed that the
so-called “ cheap” printers never get
very far, and their customers do not
seem to get very far either. No bus-
inetss has ever reached and held the
position of permanent success by the
use of cheap printing. The printing
of an eminently successful business
is distinguished by its high quality,
however, and the inference is so plain
that every one who reads may easily
apply the inference to his own busi­
ness.
