At Last the Secret (?) Is Given to the
World, and by an English

cablegram, the secret is out, nnd It is
toi Kiiclishman who Cs'ives us the valu
able information. .
He tells ns that, while Englishmen
should not he held rcsiiti-ih!! for the
vernacular of their brethren in the
Western continent, the word jazz, he
Mhails, is now as much a household
word in Ijidand as in Aniori'-a. And
then lie noes on to say that the word
came from the South and from the ne
eroes. Now in the South, ho tolls us.
there is a term known as the hook
worm, which nlTools all 1 cue southern
ers. Home unkind einiloers call it
"lonfer-llis." The white employer, ac
cording to the erudite Englishman, In
the South has many thousands of ne-f-'tocs
working for him, and conse
uenlly runny overseers. So, not being
utile lo remember the names of nil his
foremen, he generally names each inun
,7asier, which, according to this Kng
llshtnun, Is n term of the highest es
teem. Through the very humun love

The best cork has hitherto come
from Spain, but the richest forests of
fair grade cork nre now In Sardinia.
High prices are now paid for cork that
was not salable n few years ago, for
even the refuse Is valuable now In

Famous Khanr.te of C?n.ral Asia Ha
Definitely Rejected the Chains
of Despotism.
So Khiva, the khanate In Central
Asia through which Col. Fred Ilurmiby
once rode on horseback to the capital,
has declared itself an independent re
public! That prodigious English sol
dier and traveler who won military
glory fighting outside the endangered
square at Abu Klea, in the Sudan,
would smile hugely, no doubt, were he
able to rend the news. Eor the semi
harbnrie city of Kliiva as he found it
on that famous ride in the seventies,
or rather as the Russians found it just
two or three 5 ears before, to he exact,
was filled with slaves captured from
the Persians by Turkoman raiders. Its
whitewashed houses, scattered amid
the elms and poplars, produced a wel
come effect, however, after the count
less miles of arid steppes which had
to be negotiated before it could be
reached. Its citizens were those
weirdly named "cousins" of the
Turks, the Uzbegs, Kirghiz, Sarts, Ta
jaks nnd the Kara-Kalpaks, or Black
lionnets of the Turkl tribe whom the
caliph would fain gather Into the fam
ily fold. The khanate Is but the relic
of the once.great kingdom of Choras
mla, over which King Darius ruled by
means of his satraps. Christian

Socialistic Council of Bradford, Eng
land, Is Considering the Adoption
of Remarkable Scheme.
When it became necessary to erect
a new secondary school In Bradford,
the rich wool textile center of Eng
land, the usual estimates were asked
for. and reported, In the total sum of
!f."ll ),()().
Socialists, who have a considerable
majority on the Bradford education
conmiitlee, nt once decided to break
free from tradition, and ndopted the
idea of buying a suitable seagoing ship
for that amount, one big enough for a
couple of hundred children. These
children will be sent to sea for a six
months or lL'-tnonlhs period, if a sub
sequent suggestion is adopted.
It is still to be settled whether the
ship schonlliouse will remain moored
in Bradford canal docks, only going to
sea lis a freighter during vacation pe
riods, or whether It would not be In
the Interests of a general educaiion to
let the scholars See glimpses of for
eign ports, learning their languages
among natives, (lie ship at (he same
time In lie: leaded with cargoes that
would pay full maintenance expenses,
pro' n'.ly even of the boarding of the
children.

Buyers of Printing
Just a few words to the Business Man who desires to
have his Printing produced accurately and promptly
OULDNT it be a great relief if you could
say to your printer, "I need a catalogue, a
circular, some letterheads and envelopes,"
and then be able to entirely dismiss the matter from
. your mind in the confidence that he will do the work
to your entire satisfaction. The printer comes to you
with a proposition that pleases; that has a strong ad
vertising value in the suggested copy, in the proposed
typography, in the color arrangement, and in the
general h'ycut. What a satisfaction to have an as
sured confidence that the finished product will meet
with your approv
