"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. Night ofteienight she weet to bed hop- ing that the sparrows would escape. Each/Morning ,was mowed to tears -as elle saw other birds imprisoned.
