What There is in a Name.
Prof. n. N. Egleston.

Not only countries but counties and
towns were fruitful source disturbances
John from Cornwall became John Corn
wal or Cornish. Richard who lived
near piece of woodland was spoken of
as Richard at Or near the wood, o1igi-
mating the surname Atwood, or John
living near hill became John Hill. So
with Underhill, Atwell, etc, John living
near clump of oaks was John atten
oaks, abbreviated into Noakes, or Will
lam who had pitched his tent or cabin
William at the ash or William atten ash
which easily drifted into Nash. So, too,
Thomas, who lived near small stream
Cor in Anglo-Saxon beckett was
Thomas at the beckett, and thus
was named the martyr Thomas a
Beckett. The most common termi-
nations of English surnames TAX
en- from places are ford, ham, lea and
ton. Fora is from the Saxon faran, to
go, signifying the place where a stream
could be crossed.
In the name of Shakespeare birth
place we have a memento of three diff
ferent eras of English history, viz, the
periods of the occupancy by the old
Britons, the Romans and the Saxons.
STRAIT is an abbreviation of strata (street)
Cno name Dy winch the great Roman
roads were known. Ford tells us that
one of these roads crossed a stream,
and Avon is the name which the old Brit
ons or Celts gave to the streams.
The word lea, leigh, or leigh, signify
ing partially wooded field, served as
the ending for many surnames, such as
Horsley, Cowley, Ashley, Oakley Lind
ley and Burnley, or Birchley. Hay or
haw means hedge, and this has given
us Hayes, Haynes, Haley, Haywood,
Halves. Haworth, Hawthorn, Haughton,
or Houghton.
Occupations, too, have afforded an
endless army of surnames. This meth
cd was used by the Romans in such
names as Fabricus (smith), Pictor
(painter), Agricola (farmer) In En-
gland a skillful hunter would adopt
that as his surname, and equally so
with the carpenter, joiner, sawyer, bak
er, or butcher.
Personal traits and compilations, too,
gave rise to surnames. From the for
mer we have the names Stout, Strong,
Long, Longman, Longfellow; and from
the latter, Brown, Black, etc. Some
mental and moral traits were also used
to donate surnames. Richard l., of
England, was better known as Richard
of the lion heart. The next step would
be to derive from this quality the sur
name Lyon

The Late Emperor's Home Life.

Crown Prince Frederick-to use his
more familiar title-had a family life
more nearly like well-to-do American
family of refinement than any other
of the conspicuous royal heads of Eu-
rope. This, at least, was the impression
it made on a good many Americans adj
mitted to it. He had relatively small
income, he lived in great simplicity,
and his fathers iron rule shut him out
from state affairs. More than once
in years gone by, in Berlin, on the
Isle of Wight, where he and his wife
Italy, accident brought American fam
lies near, the acquaintance and in
timacy of whose children was encouraged
by the Crown Prince and Princess. In
ms family, rolling on the floor, playing
with his children and their playmates,
full of sunny good nature and simple
goodwill, interested in the freer side of
life, and companion of great charm
and high spirit, he was, from all one can
hear, a noble and lovable man, whose
training and place have developed all
that was good in him. The Crown Prin-
cess to take one of many such anecdotes
up alongside of Mr.. Story, the sculp-
tors son, in the Cathedral of St. Marks
He fell to talking to her about the
Crown Princess, whom his English
friends at the hotel were dying to see,
and the two in the course of several
days sketching became Iairiy "chum-
N.Y." She had left Venice, promising
to call at his studio in Rome with my
husband" before he had learned her
identity from his shocked English
friends. Weeks later, the Crown Prin-
cess was as good as her word, came to
the studio, and nothing, [ am told,
could have been more charming than
the grace and ease with which she and
the Crown Prince continued, when their
rank was known, the happy. and easy
companionship begun by the young
American painter in Venice.

Wherein the Defect Lay.
From the Kansas City Star.

There is a colored congregation Of
Methodists, who, until couple OF
months ago were led in the paths Of
rectitude by a very young preacher
He was fluent son of Ham and the
length of the words he hurled at his
hearers was only limited by his lungs at
one effort.
This was all very we'll for a time, but
when the elders of the church saw that
the argument adduced did not draw
the erring ones nearer the Eig white
throne, a change was decided upon and
a committee of one was appointed to ask
for the preachers resignation.
When the errand had been stated the
preacher Indignantly asked what the
congregation expected for nothing.

Narrowing Corn.

We have recommended and urged
farmers to harrow their corn. But this
advice is only for farmers. There are
mer who pretend to farm who will
have their corn ground in the worst
possible condition when they plant, in
tested and clogged with weed stalks.
corn stalks, clods and sods, so that it is
impossible for the harrow to run over
and stir the surface without tearing out
or covering up the corn. Our advice is
not for this class of men. We want
nothing to do with them. They are not
of the class we call farmers. And if
they plant their corn where the soil is
not prepared for it, and where it can
not be cultivated in any useful way, let
them not 90 tearing over or covering up
their corn, and charge Father Clarkson
with giving them bad advice and ruin
ing their crops. We are giving no such
men advice, and we do not wish any of
them to take it to themselves. But if
the ground has been first prepared for
the crop, then there is no better, safer,
efficient or speedier way of cultivating
a crop than with the harrow.-Des

Watch and Wait,
From the Chicago Herald.

--~-N-~~'
A man living in the northwestern
part of the city recently lost his wife
by death. He undoubtedly felt grieved
at his loss, but the temporary promi-
nence given him as chief mourner was
a great mitigation. What he should wear
at the funeral troubled him sorely and
most of all he felt he must have watch.
Accordingly he went to friend and
borrowed one for the occasion. He
fumbled his chain during the service
with great importance, and when the
grave was reached he thought sure some
one would say something about the
watch, ask him what time it was, or
something of the kind, but no one
seemed to heed his priced acquisition,
At last, just as the coffin was lowered
into the grave, he could resist no longer,
and pulling the watch from his pocket
said. Gentlemen and ladies. it was just
o'clock when we put her in"

Winterine Mules.

It is mystery to many who see the
hundreds of mules on the Erie Canal
where these animals go to when the
season of navigation closes. Farmers
near the line of the canal might posi-
bly, answer this conundrun. Boarding
canal mules is only fairly profitable
business. The mule is less fastidious
about his diet than the horse. He also
requires less care. The usual way is to
turn them loose in the barnyard, with
no other stock, let them have a run at
the straw stack and give hay once day
occasionally varied by cornstalks. If
the boating season has been poor the
nay is often omitted, and on this de-
ficient feed there is necessity for a spe-
cial bargain as to who shall be respon-
sible for the losses. Sometimes the
mule is kept for 81 or $l.25 a week. AT
this low rate the owner does not ex-

Cooling a Cellar.

A great mistake is sometimes made in
ventllating cellars The object of ven
tilation is to keep the cellars cool and
dry, but this object often fails o. being
accomplished by a common mistake,
and instead the cellar is made both
warm and damp. A cool place should
never be ventilated, unless the air ad-
mitted is cooler than the air within. or
is at least as cool as that, or a very little
warmer.
The warmer the air the more moist
ure it holds in suspension. Necessari-
", the cooler the air the more this
moisture is condensed and precipitated.
When the cool cellar is aired on a warm
day the entering air being in motion
appears cool, but as it fills the cellar the
cooler air with which it becomes mixed
chills it, the moisture is condensed, and
dew is deposited on the cold walls, and
may often be seen running down them
in streams.
Then the cellar is damp, and soon be-
comes mouldy. To avoid this the win
dows should only be opened at night,
and late-the last thing before retiring
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful-it is as pure as the
air of midday, and is really dryer. The

the night and circulates through it.
The windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning and kept closed
and shaded through the day. If the
air of the cellar is damp, it may be
thoroughly dried by placing in it a peck
of fresh lime in an open box. A peck
of lime will absorb about seven pounds,
or more than three quarts of water, and
in this way cellar or milk room may
soon be dried, even in the hottest
weather. Scientific american.

pect to get back his full number in the

usually badly run down, and needs
good feed to bring him up. Towards
spring, if the boat business promises to
open well, the mule is better fed, and

Smothering Flames With His Hand
From the Hartford Courant.


John Smith, the Ford Street plumber,
has been terrible sufferer with his
hands ever since the inciplent fire next
door his shop, three weeks ago. 1t may
be remembered that gaspipe parted
and the gas was accidentally lighted and
volume of fame poured into the
room and would speedily have had the
whole building in flames. Mr.. Smith,
with great presence of mind. and dis
regard for personal consequences
which few men would have shown, ran
to the place and smothered the flames
by deliberately placing the palm of his
hands against the burning pipe. It was
an etfectual remedy, all danger being
over before the fremen arrived. Nat
urally Mr.. Smith was horribly burned
and he has been great sufferer under
the doctors care ever since. People
who appreciate bravery might remem-
Der that Mr.. Smith is good, honest
plumber, who has enjoyed good deal
of hard luck with commendable pluck.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
To Him Who Waits

Many q castle I've built in Spain,
With turrets and domes that were passing fair
But the first wild storm of wind or rain
Has proved me my castles were made of air.
Many fleet have sent to sea,
Freighted with hopes and ambitions bright;
Never ship has come back to me,
Though I've watched for them long by day and
night
But sometimes think there Will come day
When my hearts fond wishes l shall attain
When walled and lowered in grand array
Shall stand secure my castles in Spain.
And look to see the sunsets glow
AS it reddens the ocean miles on miles,
Shine on the ships that sailed long ago
My ships coming back from the Fortunate Isles.
