Derivation Of Girls Names.

Annabella is not fair Anna, but the
feminine of Hannibal, meaning gift
Tor grace of Bel. Arabella is not
Arabella, or beautiful altar, but Ora
billa, praying woman. In its angli-
cised form of Orabel it was much
more common in the thirteenth CEN
fury than at present. Maurice has
nothing to do with Mauritius, or a
Moor, but comes from Almariehim-
meirelch, the kingdom of heaven.
Ellen is the feminine name of Alain,
Alan, or Allan, and has no possible
connection with HELEN, which comes
from different language, and is older
by thousand years at least. Amy
is not from aimee, but from annie.
Avice or Avis does not signify advice
as some think. 1t comes from
Edwis, and means happy wisdom.
Eliza has no connection with Eliza
beth. 1t is the sister of Louisa, and
both are daughters of Heloise, which
is Helewis, hidden wisdom. There
is indeed another form of Louisa, or
rather Louise, which is the feminine
of Louis, but this was scarcely heard
of before the sixteenth century. Emil
ly and Amelia are not different
forms of one name. Emily is from
Emylia, the name of an Etruscan
gem. Amelia comes from the Gothic
amalia, heavenly. Reginald is not
derived from Regina, and has moth
ing to do with queen. 1t is Rem
alt, exalted purity. Alice, Adelia,
Aliza, AliX, Alkaline are all forms of
one name, the root of which is abel,
noble. But Anna was never used as
identical with Annis or Agnes (of
which last the old Scottish Annis is
a variety; nor, as is sturdily main
tanned, was Elizabeth ever synony-
nous with Isabel.

TO penetrate the charmed circle you
passed through beautiful succession
Of groves and parterres and miniature
grassplots and pleasant terraces. His
menagerie fell away Of late, but some
years back it almost rivaled the famous
collection in the London Zoo. In one
large space there were buffaloes, goats
and deer and ostriches and other great
birds. A tank something like one hun
dred and fifty yards square was cov-
cred with astorks and pelicansd and
swans, and had ample well-wooded
rambling grounds around 1t. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty
aviaries. The lions and tigers and
wolves and other ferocious animals
were, Of course, Gagged, but Gagged very
comfortably.H1Uis1 bHA lahnoH j-G
In another garden a building that
looked like a magnificent ant hill was
fixed in the center Of a large square
well, and was carefully surrounded
with water. Here the snakes were
segregated, and five hundred of them
lived In the narrow holes with which
the strange building was artifcially
honeycombed. II used to be one Of the

was disclosed by Mr.. Armour, the Chi

seed oil are used for adulterating lard.
1t is claimed by the manufacturers that
the oil has no suspicion of disease about

sumed in this country also, is the oil Of
cotton seed. 1t issent in large quanti-

enters into lardine, butterine and olive
oil, the same as on this side Of the
water. Holland imports great quanti-
ties OF it to make Dutch cheese, One
oil refinery last year, sold four thousand
barrels Of the oil to preserve sardines,
and the ''sardines" were not sardines

The investigation of the chemists of

ture, recently completed. show that no
food is so much adulterated as spices,
OF twenty samples Of ground cloves ex-
amined only two were pure. The others
had suffered the extraction Of their cs-

the addition Of Glove stems, allspice and
husks OF various kinds OF eight SAM
pies Of cayenne pepper only one was
pure. OF ten samples Of mustard mono
was pure, though several had only suf-
fered the loss Of their fixed oil; the
others contained quantities of wheat
-four, the spurious matter being in
some cases two.thirds of the compound.
This made II necessary to add tumeric
acid (harrnless) to restore the mustard
color. Ten samples Of allspice were
examined, eight of which were pure.
Four samples Of cassis were all pure.
OF ten samples of ginger, four were
| pure. Only one out of thirteen samples
Of black pepper was found to be what
it purported to be. A specimen sent
from Baltimore to a man who had an
army contract was almost entirely
spurious. Cayenne pepper, black pep
per, husks and mustard hulls were
used to give flavor and pungency while
body" was supplied by ground beans
and rice, and color by charcoal, Two
samples of white pepper out of five
were pure, two samples of mace out Of
five were pure, and of three samples OF

The Famous Bell Buszard Captured

For the past twenty-four years peo-
pie living in different parts of the
South have heard strange tinklings
of a bell, frequently in the most un-
accountable places, says Wednes-
days Memphis Avalanche. AT
times the ringing seemed to be far off
in space, and then, again, in an in
credibly short time, it would seem
to hover near in the trees. Many
We're the explanations offered at first
for the presence of the bell, as great
fear had been excited among the SUI
perstitious and timid, who regarded
1t as an omen of some great danger
or calamity. The real cause of the
strange occurrence was discovered to
be buzzard Of enormous size, on
whose neck bell was fastened, and
which, with every flap of the wings,
gave forth a tinkling sound. After
thatit continued to make its appear
ance in various parts of the south,
and at times, not only combining IFS
visits to one state, but making ex-
tended excursions over most of the
South, always returning to Tennes-
see, where it had evidently been
reared, and Of whose history it be-
came part. The bell buzzard is
known in all parts Of the state, and
the people spoke with pride Of their
feathery friend. Last week while
Alex. Johnson Of Peacher's Mills
neighborhood was out on a hunting
expedition, and was walking through
a dense wood, he came upon what he
first supposed to be a huge eagle,
Tapping and fluttering about on the
ground. He raised his gun to his
shoulder and fred, and the monster
bird fell, beating the ground fiercely
with Its wings. Johnson rushed up
toit just as its wings gave the last
trembling flutters, and, lifting it up
by the neck, he saw to his greatest
establishment, that a bell hung to it,
suspended by a small wire chain, Of
which some of the links had been
worn almost to the thinness of paper.
| The bell attached-from which the
clapper was missing-was round, and
about three inches in diameter, bear
ing this inscription, evidently cut
with a knife, or some sharp instru
ment: &C. w. Moore, Alabama

The absence of the clapperaccounts
for the buzzard not having beer
heard for the last few months, lead
ing many to suppose that the birt
had left our regions, or had been kill
ed by some one. On reaching home
johnson narrated his story to hi
family, who assisted him in measur
ing its size, which was found to b.
5 feet 7 inches from tip to tip. Th'
bird has been sent to an experiences

"If it is insisted that men viii
drink, and no refusal to license can
prevent it, the answer is plain. No
law against thefts prevents stealing,
but it is a great gain that when men
steal they thereby become, violators
of law, and are thus liable to be pun
ished. If men will sell, let itbe done
against any legal sanction, and lei

1--WE are SO tired of temperance, it

These are some of the remarks that
we often hear in reference tothe tenn
perance work., It is very true there
is not much more can be said on the
subject, but there is great deal more
to be done; and true, it is an old
story, SO is the gospel story of saliva
ton. And is not this the real aim OF
the temperance work, the salvation
of immortal souls?' We read, "The
fruit of the Spirit is love" joy peace,
long-suffering, goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance" and the reverse
side, the works of the flesh are these
"Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
reveling.' and such like. Which o.
all these vices so prevalent, SO ruin
GUS as intemperance and could any
of these virtues exist without tenn
perance? Shall we, them grow
weary of this part of our Christian
work? No! no rather let us toll or
even though the work may be dis
tasteful, and the discouragements bt
very great. awe are soldiers enlist
ed to fight against the wrong;;" WI

but we are on the Lords side, and W.
know that His cause must prevail.
