Frank" is very pretty, pleasant
sounding name, and it is not strange
that many persons use it in common
conversation all their days when speak
ing of friend. We're they really
christened by that name, any of these
numerous Franks? Perhaps they were,
and if so there is nothing to be said.
But if not, was the baptismal name
Francis or Franklin? The mind is apt
to fasten in very perversc and I'M
pleasant way upon this question, which
too often there is no possible way of
settling. One might hope. if he out
lived the bearer of the appellation, to
get at the fact: but since even grave
stones have learned to use the name be-
longing to childhood and infancy in
their solemn record, the generation
which docks its Christian names in
such an un-Christian way will bequeath
Whole churchyards full of riddles to
posterity. How it will puzzle and dis
trcss the historians and antiquarians of
4 coming generation to settle what was
the real name of Dan and Bert and
billy which last is legible on a
white marble slab, raised in memory of
a grown person, in certain burial
ground in a town in Essex county.

Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry, meme is more important than

properly put as lesvening agent, and which
indicate that this familiar salt is, hereafter to
perform an active part in the preparation OF
our daily food.
The carbonate OF ammonia Is an exceed
iDgly volatile substance. Place a small por.
ton of it upon knife and hold it over a
flame, and 1t will almost Immediately be en-
tirelY developed into gas and pass off into
the air. The gas thus formed is a simple
composition OF nitrogen and hydrogen. No
residue is left from the ammonia This gives
it its superiority as a leavening power
over soda and cream OF tartar used alone,
and has induced its use as supplement to
these articles. A small amount of ammo
MIA in the dough is effective in producing
bread that will be liehter. sweeter, and more
wholesome than that risen by any other
leayening agent. When it is acted upon by
the heat of baking the leavening gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this act it
uses itself up, as it were; the ammonia is en-
tirely diffaseo, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light. fluffy, haky appear.

The bakers and baking powder msuufac.
turers prOdO cling the finest goods have been
quick to avail themselves of this useful dis
ceveIy, and the handsomest and best bread
and cake are now largely risen by the aid of
ammonia, combined, OF course, with other
leavening material.

the quarter embraced, very little work was

pied in delivering material and dressing the

einnirg of no building season in the history
OF this house has there been larger supply
on hand than st present. The yard is
nearly full of stone, and 100, 900 bricks are
on the ground ready for use. About one

Sir Moses NIontcfiore

The announcement Of the death Of
Sir Moses Montctiorc will be received
with profound sorrow wherever his
name and the record Of his noble life
are known, and they are known in near
ly every land under the sun. On tho
occasion Of the celebration Of his ono
hundrcdth birthday, October "a, 1884,
an occasion that was made memora bic
by its observance throughout tho world
and by the sincerely Of the regard
manifested for the great philanthopist
in every place, the people Of Churl cston
united to add their testimonial of re-
spect and esteem to the countless SINH
lar testimonials offered by other COM
munitics throughout the world. The
story Of the life that has now ended
aud which has ended all too soon, not
withstanding the number Of its years,
was fully and fittingly told at that time,
and need not be repeated here.
1t is enough to remember that that
life was made up Of chapter after chap
ter Of deeds Of unselfsh benefaction, of
fearless self-devotion and of nnwearying
effnrt for the relief Of oppressed and
suffering humanity. No journey was
so long, no labor so arduous, no fatigue
so painful as to turn back the brave soul
when once it heard the cry for help.
When princes and potentates were pow
crless, or hesitatcd to defend the inno-
cent victims Of barbarous prejudice or
fanatical rage, tho hand of Sir Moses
Montcfiore was stretched out TO shield
them, and his tongue pleaded eloquent
ly in their behalf, and never in vain.
To him more than all others, il not
to him alone. the Jows and Christians
of Palestine alike owe their rescue from
the never. satisfied lust Of the Turkish
sword and the privilege Of liking in
.pcacelon the sacred soil of tho Holy
Lapd. To the people Of his nwn race

A Fashionable Innovation,

Here is a startling piece Of informa-
ton. The fashionable amusement this
season is to DC knitting silk stockings
mems half hose, by girls. The days of
macrame lace arc in the past. The crazy
quilt has fulfilled its mission and gone
but knitting-beautiful, useful and gra-
cious employmcnt-is just the tonicst
thing out. 1t has practical side which
appeals to the grosscr instincts of men.
Hand knitted stockings arc the very
acme of elegance. Neither the Prince Of
Wales nor yet Barry Wall can have any
thing NOR" truly refined and daintier
than hand-knit stockings. But they cost
from "a to SO pair. The raw material,
however, for pair only costs about 81,
and If the charming fingers Of lovely
woman supply the 1925 worth of labor
they are only that much more valuable.

cts she will be very interesting to boys,
but very tiresome to men. Then if she
sits down she must be employed. If
she is utterly idle she will fasten her
mandiblcs on the first man that comes
along from the desperation Of idleness
and finding it difficult to get away from
woman who evidently hns nothing to
do but to talk to him, the man becomes
an unwilling captive and spends his
time devising methods to escape. Now,
If she has four shining knitting-needles
il her hands, flying back and forth
through silkcn meshes of red or blue
,r royal purple, she is plainly not de-
pendent upon chance comers for CON-
pany and the chance Corners will appre-
c:".c this fact by remaining in the neigh.
brrhood. Everybody is familiar with
the rows Of rocking chairs that limo the
piazzas Of summer hotels, every rock
ing chair with it's burden Of idle, clack-
ing, novel reading femininity. Give
thcs. women some kind Of useful and
picturesque employment and see how
quickly they are transformed into natu-
raj appearing human beings. And tho
employment must be obviously useful.
Men cannot grasp the true inwardness
Of cutting out little pieces to put them
together again rs patchwork. Crochet
ing is all blamed nonsense to the mas
culine understanding, but they can take
in stocking knitting with scarcely q
mental effort. 1t means something tan

the prospect of having pair or two Of
hand-knit hose gently thrust upon him

peaceful offices and wise counsel, and
