VatfeteblM a *4 Praltt ; The term vegetable has reference to the whole or any part of a plant culti vated especially with reference to use at the table. But the use of the word vegetable doesn't always depend upon cooking, for celery Is a vegetable and apples are fruit whether eaten raw or cooked. One would suppose the toma to to be entitled to the term fruit, for the method of its raising resembles that of fruit. But it is usually called vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook ed, in spite of its appearance. The quince is so fruitlike in 'appearance, so resembling apples, pears, etc., that it persists in being called fruit though eaten only when cooked. Sometimes the vegetable is a bud, as with cab bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as spinach; stems above ground, as as paragus; stems enlarged (tubers) Un as common potato^, or E. C.

Two 'weeks ago an injunction was issued by the circuit court to prevent anyone from ; interfering with a dam which had been built across the ditch by the Oetting Brothers' Ice company of Chicago. It pt is alleged that the ditch was opened for ^the purpose of carrying water from ; Camp lake, just over trie Wisconsin •4 line, to Channel lake, Lake county, near Antioch.

The Inhabit ants are hardy and Industrious, those of the plains on the Pacific side being descended from the ancient race of the Zapatecos and boasting that they were never conquered by the Spaniards. It is said that the women of this race have from time immemorial been able to maintain supremacy over the weak er male sex, leaning the men at home to take care of the house and children while they carry heavy bnrdens to market on their heads. They are very handsome, these women, and their na tive costume is most artistic, including a picturesque headdress. . v CMi.'. • i^tnan of cats declares it is tke worst of luck for a pet black cat to forsake your home. A woman of cats asserts it *is the best of luck. In the middle ages Satan's favorite form was a blac^ cat. Witches always have a cat as their familiar--a stray black pussy in preference. If a white cat races across your yard a child is going to die. If a/ stray cat of any color takes up with you, making your house its home, you will have good luck. Napoleon Bona parte showed a morbid horror of cats. The night before the battle of Water* loo a black cat passed near him, and at the sight the great warrior was com pletely unnerved. He saw an omen of defeat. Henry III. of France swoon ed whenever he saw a cat, and one of the Ferdinands of Germany would tremble in his boots if a harmless tabby got in the line of his vision. Among the Romans cat was a symbol of lib erty. The Egyptians held the anima! in veneration under the name of Aelu- rus, a deity with a human body and a cat*s head. Whoever killed a cat, even by accident, was put to death. Diana assumed the form of a cat and excited the fury of the giants. G. S. RANDALL. RANDAiL & JOSiTH! AUCTIONEERS. T*rm Sales a specialty.

Wfcy c«t Glaaa Upe***'.- '-it, Cut glass makers explain why it is that there are frequent reports of cut glass suddenly breaking or crumbling on a table, shelf or sideboard in homes and elsewhere, although the glass was not in use. They assert that whenever the tone of any cut glass article comes into contact with Its responsive chord the life of the glass will go with the tone, by which it is affected, and the glass collapses or crumbles. It is on record a famous opera singer could break cut glassware by reaching high C in her singing. Several tests were made in New York and Paris, and by her singing she broke several pieces of cut glassware. The tone of a violin if attuned so as to be in true accord with cut glass will destroy it , •ttecwi mmA tke SaMMriHkt.'. , ;, There is not, and there never was in tended to be, any soch feeling of Puri tanism or of Calvinism with regard , to our day of rest as there is connected with the Lord's day of our neighbors.

' The bowling match last Friday even ing between the East and West Side teams proved a very one-sided affair, the East Siders having an easy walk away, defeating the West Siders by 104 pins in the three games*played. The first game played easily settled the evening's contest when the East Siders won out by a margin of 165 pins. The other two games were more evenly contested and proved highly in teresting to the large crowd of rooters present. The losing team takes its defeat with good grace&nd promises to make a bet ter showing the next tome the two teams meet, which will undoubtedly be in the very near future.
