Origin of Bang**.
1 wonder how many of my Indy read
er. know the origin of the bang. I give
it below: it is another sir.mg argument
in favor of evolution. _ .
Exactly when the bang came into Eu
rope is a matter of doubt, some placing
its advent in the latter days of the Ho
man empire, while others insist that it
wav 1 nought from the east by the em-
aadets; but whenever it came, it found
that the front hair of the Eurofieau ladies,

« > the hairdressers, being unable either
to curl or to frizzle, the saucer-baug.

finally evolved. This being settled, there
remains only the couclmUng inquiry,
whence came the first bang? The most

other attractions, carries a head of short,

applies to farm crops, and hence wheat

this rotation is too short, and would be
greatly improved by a root crop after

.Wasting their Shot
Rivaroles was an excellent lieutenant-
general, and died in 1704. He was by
the “King Beet ”
A Washington letter to thc Chicago
Inter-Ocean says: I heard a good story
about Floyd King, the member of Con
gress from Louisiana, thc other day.

army in France, where he was greatly
esteemed. Long before that time he had
lost one of his legs by a cannon ball. At
the battle of Neerwinden, another cannon
shot took off his wooden leg and threw
him flat on thc ground. On being lifted

dinner did not cqme on in regular courses,
but when we teemed to have had enough
of one thing, Wong would send the bowl
away and replace it with something else.
Several varieties of Chinese vegetables
and fish made their appearance and
were sampled with great interest!
Something with an unpronounce
able name, but which was really
fish-tripe, was voted a great
delicacy, and lob?t«*r, prepared in a pe
culiar way, was also a gastronomic suc
cess. The soup contained a great variety
of strange vegetable?, among them a
dark-green sea moss. Instead of our
salt there was provided small dishes of
liquid prepared from beans, and which
answered the purpose. Then small pud
dings of white rice flower cunningly de
signed to represent an opening flower
were found to contain a sweet interior of
beans aad molasses, or some sweet sub
stance. Bowls of rice were brought in,
but it was eaten hot and dry Without
milk or sugar, which accompaniments
are thought by the Celestials to spoil
both rice and tea. The rice was seasoned
and spiced rather too highly for Ameri
can palates, .and Wong mercifully or
dered in qome condensed milk and sugar.
After the repast was finished cigars were
produced, the hoard was cleared, and
clear tea brought in. A very interesting
discussion on the Chinese problem in
America was begun, and several inteRe
gent and thoughtful arguments advanced
by the Itost and his friends. This is the
only Chinese restaurant of the kind in thc
city, and on Sundays a great deal of
money is taken in here'. The expensive
Chinese vegetables, however, reduce
the profits, so Mr. Ban says.—C^'
