"An Order of Finnan Haddie,
Please."
why is a smoked baddock a "finnan
haddie?" Lots ef people have wonder-
ed why, and not many of 'them have
ever learned the answer to the 811115 -
tin. "Finnan Middle" has all the ear
marks of a Scotch phrase, and so, to
be -sure, it ie. All the finnan haddies
originelly 'came from Pindon, a little
fishing villageae,Kincardine, Semtlaud,
riot far from Aberdeen. The village is
so small that you cannot find jt on
most limps, but it has long carried on
a thriving business In catching and
curing fish, principally haddock. The
PeePle of Mutton — which is pro-
nounced "Finnan." by the Scotch folk
of the east coast—early learned how to
salt and smoke ail rather better than
their eeighbors and came to have a
epecial reputation for their prodeet.
So "Finnan haddle," which, was origin-
ally Just a haddock, smoked and cured
at Pinden, has come to be the name of
that kiln" of fish. wherever produced.
It Is a.great compliment to the little
Scottish fishing hamlet. The Findon
folk -learned to do one thing better
than anyone else, and their fame hes
gone abroad through the world. That
Is the true road to fame, whether you
paint pictures, or make -automobiles,
or build ships; or cure fish, oe do any-
thing whatever worth while in this
busy and critical World;
"Heaven Help Those," etc.
A little girl, grieved because her
brother had set a' tea) in, the garden
for sparrows, prayed that none should
be caught Next Morning, however,
there was one in the trap. Her faith
was sorely tried, but ene continned to
pray, Still sparroes were caught.

ing that the sparrows would escape.
