New Hampshire gets its name from

dian name, signifying "land on 8

linas, and Georgia have a royal origin.
Maine was named from the fact that il
was supposed to contain the "mayne
portion" of New England. Vermont

Act Well Your Purt.

Whoever hesitates to utter that which
he thinks the highest truth, lest it should
be too much in advance of the time, may
reassure himself by looking at his acts
from an impersonal point of view. Let
him only realize the fact that opinion is
the agency through which character
adapts external arrangements to itself
that is, opinion rightly forms part of this
agency-is unit of force, constituting,
with other such units, the general power
which works out social changes; and he
will perceive that he may properly give
full utterance to his innermost convic-
ton; leaving it to produce what effect it
may.
1t is not for nothing that he has in him
those sympathies with some principles
and repugnance to others. He, with all
his capacities, and aspirations, and be.
hefs, is not an accident, but product oil
the time.
He must remember that while he is o
descendant of the past, he is parent of
the future, and that his thoughts are as
children born to him, which he may NOT
carelessly let die. He, like every other
man, may properly consider himself as
one of the myriad agencies through
whom works the unknown cause; and
when the unknown cause produces in
him certain belief, he is thereby au.
thorized to profess and act out that be-
lief. For, to render, in their highest
sense, the words of the past
Mature Is made by no mean,
But nature makes that mean; over that art
Which you say adds TO nature, is an art
That nature makes.
Not as adventitious, therefore, will the
wise man regard the faith which is in
him. The highest truth he sees he will
fearlessly utter, knowing that, let what
may come of it, he is thus playing his
right part in the world-knowing that if
he can effect the change he aims at
well if not-wen also though not so
wei. -Herbert Spencer.

Women for Canada.

Newspapers, like all other embodi-
ments of enterprise, can occasionally
indulge in conclusions in predicting that
the manifest destiny of at least one-half
of Canada's population was to emigrate
to the United States. The foundation
for this assertion is found in the advice
of the Marquis of Lorne, who presses
the necessity of English women emf
grating to Canada. The Gevernor-Gen-
eral, like wise Canadian, suggests that
such emigration should be encouraged
Although English women of the class
who would be likely to emigrate Of their
own free win would find the United
States a more promising destination than
Canada, they will undoubtedly in Canada
exert a favorable influence on the popu-
htion, for they will not only keep at
least an equal number of young men
from straying South of the st. Lawrence,
but they will cause many Americans to
make excuses for visiting the Dominion.
Canada may not for her own sake be
particularly attractive to Americans, but
il ship-loads of manageable English
women are to land there, young Amer
leans may be depended upon TO be there
in force 10 look at them. Canada never
made q wiser move.-N Y Herald.

There is very little difficulty in getting
gardeners and even tolerable grooms and
coachmen, and none whatever In getting
clerks and statesmen and errand boys.
We men regard work as honorable but
women conspire together to stigmatize
all domestic work as q sort Of disgrace.
If they engage IN such work at all, 1T Is
secretly, and they are Inundated II they
are caught at it, and they do not allow
their daughters to do it If they can help
themselves and then they wonder it is
so hard to find good cooks and house.
maids. Pride, madam, is the great in
centive to work. The men enlist it on
their side you women enlist it against
yours and then you wonder that your
servants take no pride in their work. 1t
seems to me one of the incidental dis
advantages of what people call the
"higher education for women" that it
tends to increase this feeling. A young
girl goes to boarding-school-I beg
pardon, to female college-for three or
four years. During all that time she Is
waited on by servants. They cook her
meals, they wait ON her at the table,
they make her bed, they sweep her
room, and when she goes home, she has
a dress maker to do her sewing and all
this time she is learning to look down
upon the common work of housekeeping
as mental kind of drudgery. When
at last she is married and begins life
for herself, she has to unlearn oonsid-
cradle part of her four years course,
unless her husband can afford to provide
her with servants to do all the house
work, and even then she needs to
unlearn her habit of thought and feeling
about it, in order to inspire her servants
with the pride which is essential to sue
cess in any toll. For this reason,
should like to see every public school
adopt the fashion of Wellesley and
South Hadley, and give their pupils
some part of their own work to do.
Perhaps they would learn trife less of
Latin, Greek, and the higher mathe-
mates, but this loss would be more than
compensated for. if they acquire the
characteristics of Lemuel's virtuous
woman, who "worketh willingly with
her hands. "-Laicus, ia Christian
Union.

The Science Of Kissing.

Science In the last few years has
gained terrible footing in the world.
1t has ratified the dry bones of fogyism,
made pi out OF WORKOUT theories, and
upset ideas which have been established
for centuries.
The latest and most astonishing fact
that has been developed Is that there is
scientific mode Of kissing. The day
when young man can grab girl about
the neck and gobble kiss, in a rough
but comfortable manner, is past. The
time when he could circle her waist with
one arm, get his shirt bosom full of hair
oil, and piroquet his lips over every
square inch of her countenance, Is no
more. Science has proclaimed against
it, and man shudders but remains
silent.
The old style of kissing, which sounds
like tearing clap-board off a smoke
house, is now considered bad taste, and.
consequently, going out of fashion, al
though the majority of girls admit that
science has destroyed all the comforts of
long, lingering, heart-thnilling kiss,
and this fact causes them to express no
little regret.
The improved scientific method of
kissing is to throw the right arm langrid-
ly around the fair ones shoulders. tilt
her chin up until her face iSpointed at
an angle of seventy degrees-or until 1t
has an aspect resembling the bowsprit
of olipper-built sloop. iThen stoop
softly and Craze about her lips, in
quiet, sudden sort of way, tickle hen
nose with your mustache until she cries
"Ouchl" This is scientific kissing but
there is no consolation in it-nothing tc

The giving OF gifts ON New Years
day is said to have originated with the
Romans. Titus Tatias, King of the
Sabines, was presented, on the first day
of the new year, with some branches
cut in wood consecrated 10 Strenia,
the Goddess Of Strength. This he con-
sidered as good omen, and authorized
the custom afterward, and gave these
gifts the name of stren@, TAI b. @.
The gilt knob at the end of the bar
ber's pole represents brass basin,
which is sometimes actually suspended
from the pole. The basin has notch
cut into it to fit the throat, and was
used for lathering customers who came
to be shaved. The pole represents the
staff held 10y persons III venesectiOn
and the two spiral ribbons painted
around it represent the two bandages,
one for twisting around the arm previ-
Gus to blood-letting and the other for
binding. BARRIERS formerly filed the
Office OF surgeons. From this originated
the BARRIERS pole.
BRIGHT's disease is one of the most
common and fatal of the affections of the
kidneys. 1t is characterized by the
presence of albumen in the discharges
from the bladder, more or less general
dropsy both OF the cellular tissue and
the internal cavities, and an organic
change in the substance Of the kidneys.
The disease was first classed and Illus
trated by DIR. Richard Bright, in 1886.
Heuce its name. DIR. Bright published
additional works on the subject in 1889
and 1910. OF the causes of this dis
ease the most important, undoubtedly,
is exposure to the cold when the body is
exhausted by fatigue, by recent illness,
by an innutritious or unsuitable diet or
by an excessive use of alcoholic liquors.

HALF THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
CAUSED BY BRIGHT s DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS.
This may sound like rash statement, but am

often develops without any pain whatever in

toms Of nearly every other known complaint.

Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the
extent OF this disease or its dangerous and in
sid'ous nature. 1t steals into the system like a
thief, manifests its presence by the commonsst
symptoms, and fastens itself upon the consti-
tuition before the victim ia aware. It is nearly

Brady, OF star route notoriety, admits that he
made heavy investments In several Washington
newspapers His idea was that by hiring editors
ana reporters TO trumpet forth his praises and
ABUSE his enemies he could cover I'D HIS Official
"crookedness," mould public opinion In his favor,
ana defeat the ends OF justice. Brady has 10y this
time found out his mistake. His s'organsn have
done him Infinitely more harm than good Every
ming that they say has precisely the opposite eff
lect from that intended, and their advocacy OF his
cause mas been more damaging than a greet deal
OF The evidence against him. In making these
newspaper investments Brady was only feeble
mltator OF some more distinguished men who
enormously suppose that ''mOuthpleces" in the
press are essential to the success OF their enter
prlSeS. The moment a journal, great or small. is
known to be tile organ OF any man, no matter how
rich or how powerful it to be OF the slight

The Report on Gui,eau,s Braip.

Dr. T. o. Shakespeare, OF Philadelphia, who is a
member of the American Military Rifle Team, is
one OF the surgeons to whom was committed the
duty of making microscopic examination of Gut-
teau'S brain. DR.. Shakespeare said to a New
York Tribune reporter yesterday that the report
or the surgical commission had been DELAYED, not
as had been enormously stated in some of the
newspapers, because OF any disagreement among
the surgeons, but solely because OF the absence
OF DIR. j. w. S. Arnold. The report was concluded
ana nnally adopted on Sunday evening at Dr. Ar
nold's house. DR.. Shakespeare added: 'The report
Will be sent to Dr. Lamb in time for publication next
week. 1t has been agreed to by all the surgeons
and VIII occupy about column In the newspa-
pers." The Investigations, DR.. Shakespeare con-
tlnued, had been had under the most favorable
condltlonS, the brain tissue having been preserved
perfectly In the liquid in which ii was placed with
In SIX hours after the death OF Guiteau. Under
the terms or their commission the surgeons were
not required to pronounce any opinion or TO draw
any conclusions as to the sanity or insanity of
Gulteau, but simply to state the condition in which
they found the tissue, and to point and explain
the variations from normal and healthy BRAIN
Thls they had done with extreme care, and it was
now Tor the alteniStS, So-called to make their de-
auctions 1t is understood that the full results OF
the examination made by DR.. Shakespeare and his
colleagues Will be embodied in more exhaustive

Oily prove valuable addition to the literature of
