Origin of the Phrase “ To Eat Crow."
The following is given as the origin
.of the saying “to eat crow”: During
the Civil War, or shortly after its
close, a United States soldier shot a
tame crew, the owner of which came
upon him before he had time to re-
load hls piece, and compelled him to
eat a mouthful of the bird. This sat-
isfied the owner of the bird, who
walked away, but before he had gone
a great distance he was overhauled by
the soldier, who had loaded up again,
and compelled him to return and eat
a mouthful Or two of the crow. The
owner the next day complained at the
post. The commander sent for the
soldier complained of and asked him:
“Do you know this gentleman?” The
soldier drawled out: “Ya-as; we
dined together yesterday.” In every-
day conversation “to eat crow” is un-
derstood to mean that an individual
takes back all he previously said in re-
gard to a certain matter.

NEW ORLEANS, J ;.n.
George McC. Durby, the United States eh:
gineer in charge of this district, in a letter
to the Charity Organization society of this
city, says: .
“There are twolarge levees to be built
across the river near the ferry. I will sta-
.tion a quarter boat, 'with capacity for 200
men, at one of these leveesand will have
the Work surveyed and divided into short .
lengths, such as a man should be able to
build in from three to five days. 1
“When ablebodied men who are desti-
tute and in temporary need of food and
shelter apply for charity, they can be sent,
with a. suitable ticket, to report aboard
this quarter boat. Each man can there sign
a contract with the United States govern-
ment to build one of the short sections of
levee above described at 6 or 7 cents per
cubic yard, with an agreement that; a
charge for his board and lodging at the
rate of 20 cents a day shall be deducted
from the amount due him, payment to be
made on completion of his contract.
‘ ‘I will provide the necessary supervision,
wheelbarrow‘s, shOvels, run planks, etc.
The ordinary market Value Of the ,. work
above described is from 9 to 10 cents. It
is, however, not intended to pay the full
market value of the Work, which would
result in our being promptly overrun with
applicants and merely bring us in compe-
tition with other employers. ”
THE . SULTAN WEAKENBD.
Italy Made a. Demand, Backed by Threats,
and Got Satisfaction.
LONDON, Jan. 12.—A dispatch from
Constantinople to The Standard says that
rumors of a massacre of Christians at
Trebizond,which originated from the state-
ment that an Italian gunboat had been
ordered thither, are untrue.
It appears that an Italian subject named
Marani was secretly shipped at Trebizond
for exile to Erzerum. The Italian embassie—
dor, Signor Pause, demanded the immedi- _
ate return Of Marani to Constantinople for
proper trial and threatened to send gun-
boats. Then the porte gave a. written
promise of compliance.
The incident has caused a sensation at
Constantinople on account of the belief
that Italy was backed by the powers.
A dispatch to The Daily News from
Rome on the same subject says that “ev-
erybody remarks that the sultan has never
had such a humiliation as for an embassa-
dor to openly refuse to accept his promise,
but to insist upon a written confirmation. ”

TO PROHlBlT FOOTBINDIN'G.
[t is Strongly Denounced by Some of tin
Finest Scholars in China.
‘~Women’s craving for a small fool
has run mud. in China,‘ and they will»
“1eg submit themselves“to tortures as
horrible as any. to which prisoners in
the jails are subjected‘rather than be
exposed to ridicule because their feel
are'large.
Now the custom is assailed from a
powerful source—from a group of pro
gressive scholars whom the Chinese
people hold in the greatest reverence
The anti-foot binding agitation, which
is now spreading all over China, was
recently started by a prominent mem-
ber of the Chinese literati in Suifu
which is a great city of Szechuan. -
The leader of the movement is Chou.
a literary graduate and :1 scholar of
wealth and influence. \Vliile the liter-
ary examinations were being held a1
Suifu recently, every one was amazed
at the appearance of large po'sters on
'all the dead walls containing an ap-
peal to educated Chinese to abandon
the torture of their young daughters
by foot-binding. . -
It contained many quotations from
Confucius, but its main point was dl.
rectcd to the edict of Emperor Shun
Chih in 1662 pronouncing the binding
of girls’ feet to be illegal. Chon de-
clared that this edict had been obeyed
for a. time, and then ignored.
He describes the tortures which
young Chinese girls of the better class
are forced to endure, and the misery
and tears that are their portion for
months and years. Even the worst
convicts, he says, are never called
upon to endure what a. foolish custom
imposes upon the tender frame of
young girls, who are beloved by theil
fathers-New York Journal.

p y '- 5: Truth Crushed to Earth.
”' A"‘\i"orthy'-‘colored‘ deacon, who had
early impressed upon his only son and
heirathe', moral of the George Washing-
toniicherry tree story,‘ was fortunate
enough to find a fat ’possum recently.
He bore it in triumph to hls'dwell-
ing, and assisted by his son, cooked
it to a juicy brown. .
“.\'ow,f’ said be, “de bes’ way for
out a ’possum is col’; so we’ll jes’ let

His son seemed sadly disappointed,
but he made the best Of it, and both
retired for the night.
The Old man was up early next
morning, but the boy slept on.
On opening the. safe the astonished
parent discovered nothing but bones in
the dish that had contained the ’pos-
sum. He brought the drowsy young-
ster to his feet with one vigorous jerk,
and dragging him to the scene of the
wreck, he said: .
“What does dot mean, eh?”
The boy fell on his knees and cried:
“Daddy, I can’t tell a lie; I got up
in de night en eat it wid my little

The old man said not a. word, but
dragging the boy to 'the front door he
held him by the collar‘while he jerked

The Story of “ Home, Sweet Home.”
The story of the origin of “Home,
Sweet Home,” is short, but very pret-
ty. The song Was both written and
composed by‘ John Howard Payne,
who first sung it in the Far West by
the grave of a. noble red Indian who,
when all that made his- forest wig-
wam “home” had gone, had died by
his own hand on the grave‘of his loved
squaw and pupoose.

thizing with the Old Indian. buried
him where he died, and Payne
watched the ceremony in silence. At
the finish, inspired by the scene he had
witnessed, he sang quietly to himself

to write them down, which he did,
with the result that they are familiar
in every household in the civilized
world tO-day. ~ -

Secreling Manuscripts.

ti.» scar Izll'y of Cromwell—a collection
of seventy volumes at least in the
original manuscript-it is recorded that
it came 'to light-in a very strange way,
accidentally falling out of the false
ceiling of some, chambers in Lincoln‘s

Mention is also made of other certain
treasures in that‘line being in the se-
cret drawer of a chest that had passed
through many'hands before the secret
some out.—-Harper’s Bazar.
Japanese Postman.
In Japan the postman wears a suit
of blue’cloth. a wide butter-bowl hat,
and walks or rather trots along in com.
forlnble straw shoes. Sometimes a
little two-wheeled cart bears his bud-
get. or per-chance, being light, the post-
bag is carried by band. From station
to station the postman hurries along,
often running mile after mile. to de-
livcr his precious bag into the keeping
of the next man on the route. In this
way the mail is carried in the greater
part of the Japanese Empire—Harper’s
anar.
All things considered, this country
will probably suffer little loss in the
departure of a large number of men
from the Pacific coast who are going
to an island in the South Pacific which
is said to be inhabited only by women,
Men who are not satisfied with the
wives they can get in the United States
are of small value to any community,
and the circumstances indicate that
these adventurers belong to that large
class Of‘rovcrs and irresponsible men
which never stays long enough or does
work enough in any one place to add
to the industrial wealth of the com-
munity. The effect of their expedition
on the morality of the South Pacific
island is something not to be dwelt up-
on with anticipation; but, bad as it
is likely to be, there is nothing to be
done by way of prevention. It only
remains to! hope that- the habit of self«
dependence has made Amazons of the
women and fitted them for keeping
their coming husbands under proper
subjection.
