True Courage.

In all ages courage on the battle
field has been the theme of authors
and poets, yet the courage of the war
rior is not only common and variable
quality, but has often been surpassed
by thai displayed by women. Native
valor, too, Is sometimes inferior to
that which is acquired. Frederick the
great ran like a coward out of his first
battle. Relying on the wings of fear,
he went a great distance from the field,
and, coming to one of his own strong
holds reported that his army was de-
stroyed. What was his surprise and
modification to learn that his men had
gained great victory. He never for
got the lesson taught and ever after
wards was conspicuous for steady
courage In action. Many instances
might be gwen of soldiers in the las,
war who in their first fight, were "lily-
livered," but who afterwards faced
with dauntless front the cleaning steel
and on the other hand, of some who
were lion-hearted till taught by the
pain of a wound the perils ofa battle,
and who then became notable COW.

The Evolution of Names.

Annabella is not Anna-bella, or fair

form OF Orabel, it was much more COM
mon in the thirteenth century than at
present Maurice has nothing to do
with Mauritius, or a Moor, but comes
from Almanc-.himmelreich- the
kingdom OF Heaven. Ellen is the fem.
lnine of Allan. Alan or Allan, and has
no possible connection with Helen,
which comes from a different language
and is older by 1000 years, at least
Amy is not from aimee, but from annie.
Avice, or Avis, does not exactly mean
advice, as some think. 1t comes from
Kdwis, and means happy wisdom.
Eliza has no connection with Elizabeth.
1t is the sister of Louisa, and both are
the daughters of Helolse, which is
Hele-wls, hidden wisdom. There IS
indeed, another form of Louisa, or
rather Louise, which Is the feminine Of
Louis, but this was scarcely heard o.
before the sixteenth century. The
older Heloise form of the name, Aloisa
Aloisia, or Aloysia, was adopted into
medieval English as Alesia-a name
which our old genealogists confuse
with Alice. Emily and Amelia are
not different forms of one name,
Emily is from Emylia, the name of an
Euuscan gems. Amelia comes from
tie Gothic amala, heavenly. Reginald
is not derived from Regina. and has
nothing to do with a queen. 1t is
Rem-als, exalted purity. Alice,
Adelais. Adelaide, Aliza, Alix, Adallne
are all forms of one name, the root oi
which is adel, noble. But Annie was
never used as identical with Annis or
Agnes (ot which last the old Scottish
Annas is variety nor, as is sturdily
maintained, was Elizabeth ever syn.
onymous with Isabel.

Weather Forecasts.

The ''mal with the goose bone" is
on hand as usual with forecasts of the
weather for the winter. In Connectl-
cut he is sure that the winter will be
unusually severe. The mice and the
squirrels have built their nests unusual
ly thick. The coin husks are heavy
and tight. The gum on the buckeye
buds Is exceedingly plentiful. The
animals, the BIRDS and the trees all
agree that the winter is to be very
severe In Wisconsin, on the other
hand, the animals and birds prophesy a
mild winter. The musBrat has hardly
troubled himself to build house at
all. The horses are not thickening
their coats with anything like their Gus.
tomary diligence. And the wild fowls
are prolongins their northward flight
far beyond the limits of average years.
Wisconsin, therefore, is promised a
mild winter.
1t is possible, of course, that both
forecasts may be correct. Wisconsin
may have a mild winter and Connecti-
cut at the same time a severe one !;
thaugh it was so much colde. for the
former than the latter on election day
that we should be inclined, on political
grounds, to exchange the prophecies
and give the mild weather to the Nut
meg State. The truth probably is,
however, that very little reliance can
be placed on the prophecy i'll either
case.
