ODD BOWERY SLANG. '
rough bu Crophlo Dialao "of On East
- Side of GOthaan. .:
Slang like hot air rises. It start
in the speech of the least educated
to become incorporated into tbe
daily talk of the best informed. It
ia wue mat tne best informed use
slang apologetically and with men-
tal quotation murks but neverthe-
less they use it. Slang is the out-
come of bright minds not well stored
with work. Hence it is grauhio.
Eust of the Bowery thoy do not
any "beggar." They say "a man
with bis hand out." When Stephen
Brodie wished to say that a certain
popular novelist : was not of very
heavy mental caliber he said that
"if that gent fell on a wet sponge
he wouldn't squeeze it dry." .
In the lower walks of life a man
does not get angry; he "gets red-
headed. " He does not expose mon-
ey ; he "flashes n wad1' from M-hich
he "skims" the "long green." If be
happens to be well to do ha has a
"thick wad" so hard that "".'you
couldn't knock a dent in it with an
ax." No man every struck another
eaet of tho Bowery; he just care-
lessly "threw 'em into him" he
M'em" being two hard fists. fr
A man in reduced circumstances
fs in s slang parlance . on . the
swine." If bis circumstances are a.
little morereduoed he is "on he
awine train. And when he "ia on
the (caboose of the swine train" Tiis
condition is. most deplorable. No
man ever died east of the Bowery ;
be "did a 'croak." And' if he hap-
pened to die a" Violent death be
shot "he did a gun croak."
In this locality men are not stab-
bed; they are just "cut" "Lob-
ster" a most favorite expression of
contempt originated on the race
track where it w-aa used to desig-
nate a slow horse. And as there is
no quality of mankind which the
native New Yorker holds in more
reverence than rapidity both phys-
ical and mental it naturally follow-
ed thnt a man mentally inactive be-
came a "lobster."
- When a person is in hard luck he
is "up against it" and if the luck
grows worse he is "up against it for
fair." If a person goes (o another
person's house and so behaves thnt
discredit is brought upon the house
he "puts the whole drive on the
hog" which js a variation of "on
the swine" and easily traceable to
tramp slang.
If one person rushes at another
like "a bull at a gate" the other
person attempts to "bent in the roof
of his head" which might well dis-
courage the oncomer.
East of the Bowery drinks "rats"
and fists are always "thrown in."
If the citizen of this district should
unwisely "throw in" too much "rod
liquor" the next morning his "ears
would be n foot out" meaning that
his head would be long. In this dis-
trict tho youths and maidens do not
court; they simply "win" each oth-
er. Defeat is impossible it would ap-
pear. No one east of the Bowery at-
tempts to do anything. He or she
"makes a stagger at it." Beer is
known as "hops" cigarettes as;
"pipes." If a girl has a pretty fig-
tire she is "dead swell built" and j
every man is a "guy." If he is in- j
telligent he is "a wiso guy;" if he
isn't he is a "lobster guy." If ho is
tall he is a "high guy" and if he ;
is strong he is a "husky guy." j
Finally comes tha all porvading ;
expression "get next" the great;
shibboleth of the east side Its in-'
habitants "get next" to pretty much j
everything they can. New York j

STARCHY FOODS.
Dow Tiey Should Ba . Cooked and Who
They Are Good For.
Starch forms an important ele-
ment of human food in every cli-
mate except the arctic where fat to
which starch is somewhat related
chemically takes its place.
In many minds an imperfect idea
of what constitutes starchy foods
prevails. The various preparations
resembling powdered laundry starch
and cornstarch such as arrowroot
and farina form hut a email part of
the starch eaten. About one-half
the bulk of wheat rye oats peas
and beans is starch. Of potatoes
about one fifth is starch and of ties
and corn about three-fourths.
The digestibility of starch is great-
ly enhanced by proper cooking. A
a general thing starchy foods ara
not cooked sufficiently.
Young children es ecially suffer
from insufficiently cooked starchy
food. Steamed oatmeal and wheat
preparations should .be boiled an
hour lieforn ihttv are served to chil
dren. If fed to children under
years of age or to those troubled
Tith stomach disturbance they
should also be strained. When ths
various cereals are used in the grain
merely hulled .and unpulverized
they should be soaked in cold wntet
for several hours and then boiled
from two to three hours.
Crackers in all of which starch is
the chief ingredient may be given
to children after they are 18 months
old. If eaten between meals they
are oest taton with milk.
One reasonsfor the frequent faulty
digestion of starcby foods lies in m
flUJhcient mastication. The actual
digestion of starchy articles should
begin m the mouth by a process of
thorough mastication; otherwise
einco starch is not acted upon in the
etomaoh they remain practically
unaltered and undigested until they
have passed from the stomach into
the intestine where digestion of ths
starchy matter recommences.'
Starchy foods if imperfectly mas-
ticated previous to their introduc-
tion into tho stomach are liable to
a partial fermentation which inter-
feres with the active digestion oi
other articles of diet
Starch is demanded by the system
for supplying heat and muscular en-
ergy. Outdoor workers can conse-
quently utili2e' a large quantity of
starchy food. Oatmeal for example
forma an excellent article of every-
day diet for them' while those whose
occupations keep them sedentary of
within doors should partake of it
sparingly. Youth's Companion.
v ' "' - -
v Wouldn't Boil Soft.
When Mrs. 'Youngwife began
housekeeping among the bits of ad-
vice that her mother gave to tbe in-
experienced young woman was this:
"As to boiling remember that the
longer a thing boils the softer it
gets. Rice hominy and cabbage are
often spoiled by not being boiled
enough."
Mrs. Youngwife assimilated the
words of wisdom and the night be-
fore her first essay at a breakfast
she asked her husband what h
would like.
"My dear eggs are simple and
easy to prepare. Boil half a dozen
and be sure that they are soft boiled.
A hard boiled egg is worse than a
cold mince pie."
Mrs. Youngwife smiles sweetly
and knowingly and next morning
she was up early and before George
was awake she had the water boil-
ing. An hour later they 6at down
to the table and George attempted
to open an egg with his knife but
it resisted his efforts even as a thing
that is ossified.
"Dear" he said gently but sor-
rowfully "I told you I liked my
eggs soft boiled." i
Mrs. Youngwife burst into tears.
"1 bad thou: boiling 55 minutes by
the clock" she sobbed "but they
wouldn't get soft!" New York

Toons; Bead Old Shoulders.
Apropos of our reference to the
German emperor's notion of placing
a young head on old shoulders in
the case of an ancient headless
6tatue a correspondent writes point-
ing out that tradition asserts tha
same thing to have been done with
the equestrian figure now represent-
ing King rJharles II in Parliament
square Edinburgh which by the
irony of fate is erected close to the
gTaveof John Knox. He says "The
story runs that this work in which
the horseman is represented in Ro-
man military attire and which I be-
lieve is cast in lead was brought
to Scotland by a foreign skipper
who had got hold of it by Bome
means or other unknown was pur-
chased decapitated (strange course
in view of the death of King Charles
I) and then had a head of the merry
monarch put on instead. "London

It is asserted that if no American
meat were imported into the London
market for two days the price of all
kinds of meat would go up and that
if the American supply were entire-
ly cut off famine prices would soon
be in force so large is the quantity
consumed.
