A CHAPTER ON NAMES.

Suggested by some thoughts on the NO
msnciature Of Fiction.
Whats in a Manner asks the love sick
Juliet, and adds, "A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet'-which& true
50 far as it goes, but then 1t does not go very
far; and though good enough reason for an
enamored beauty, would not satisfy logi-
clan. How much there is In n name let his
tory declare. Men have cut each others
throats and sent each other to the dungeon,
the rack and the scafYold for the sake of
name, and all that a name may be made to
represent There is much, nay, almost all,
in names" says Carlyle. Gould | unfold
the influence Of names, which are the most
important of all clothings, | were a second
great Trismegistus" Hence the anxiety of
poets and novelists to fit apt and expressive
names to the creations Of their imaginations
the heirs Of their invention. They justly
understand the weight which attaches to
them-how judicious choice may favorably
dispose the reader at the outset while a mis-
take In nomenclature may as speedily disgust
him.
There is tradition that the poet Boiardo,
having vainly attempted one day, as he was
riding out, to discover a name for his hero
expressive OF his lofty character, and at
length hitting upon the word Rodomante,
struck his spurs into his horse, galloped back
to his castle and ordered all the bells of the
place 10 be set ringing in its honor. Twas
wisely done A hero with a low, common
place name is only half hero, shorn, like
the sun in an eclipse, of half his splendor
BoiarClo. by the way, had pretty taste in
inventing names To hun We owe that divine
one-for pure and beautiful woman-An-
gelica, name which has enchanted poster

ran him close. To Angelica he added Ne

The American Analyst thinks it would be
an excellent idea if physicians Of the present
day would invent some other reason for about
all the deaths which occur nowadays than
the heart failure. 1t is difficult for any one
conversant with the organs Of the human
body to understand how any human being
can de without heart failure, while the causes
of the failure of the heart at death may he
very numerous. This might not he of serious
moment were 1t not for the fact that hundreds
of people are h'ing nearly frightened 10 death
by the constant use of the caus,' for sudden
deaths and many people who are sick, and
peccssariy have some heart symptoms, are
kept in constant terror by reading or hear
ing in other ways Of death after death by
heart faiiare. IL would be well if physicians
who are too indolent or too ignorant to search
out tue disease lying back Of the heart fail
ure to cOn-i.ier how much harm they are do
ing the community, and if they cannot core
rect the habit. newspapers and the public
should avoid giving currency 10 this I'M
founded and dangerous phrase. There are
probably M more deaths from heart failure
in these time, than heretofore, but new
cause for death has htcn coined and the ner-
vous and tirnid are being severely injured
by it,

Near Leicester nightingale has established
itself in plot OF ground. and there it sings
for four or five hours every night Its fame
has spread abroad. and every evening crowds
of people line the road near the trees where
the bird has its haunt They wait patiently
until the music begins, and most OF them re
main until midnight. while few enthusiasts
finger even until one or two O'Clock in the
morning,
The bird usually sings in a large thorn bust
just over the mouth OF a railroad tunnel. but
he is quite needless OF noise or smoke or
steam. and continues his song with the same
rapture and assurance as he might feel in the
heart 1t country garden,
This nightly concert has become 50 estab
lished as a regular custom that several police
men are detailed for the purpose Of keeping
order in the crowd. This. however, seems
quite unnecessary, except as precautionary

The whole running expenses Of electric
cars are one-third less than the expenses of
horse ears. Besides, the nuisance Of large
stables is dispensed with, and there is no need
OF storage for hay and grain Cars need
less space Of track. and the pavement is not
broken up by the incessaut tramp Of horses
But the point Of perhaps most importance to
the general public is the decrease of noise
With rubber pavements, the use Of electric
cars. the abolition Of the steam whistle in

cries in the city it becomes far more inhahit-

That the Stone age men had fixed dwelling
places appears from their often magnificent
tombs. which seem to point 10 the beginning
of an organized society and the combined
industry of small community or Of a whole
tribe These tombs are described dol
MEMS" passage graves" and stone cists.
OF these the dolmens were the earliest. the
passage graves are little later, the uncov-
cred stone cists are later still. and the cists
covered with barrow belong to the time Of
transition between the Stone and Bronze
ages
During the Stone age. says Professor
Montelius, bodies were always buried I'M
burned. in recumbent or sitting position.
By the side of the dead body usually laid
a weapon. a tool or some ornaments. We
often find in graves of this period earthen-
ware vessels. now filled only with earth The
care bestowed upon the last resting place Of
the departt-i certainly betokens belief in a
future life but the things placed by the side
of the dead seem TO show that that life was
believed to he merely continuation of the
life on earth, with the same needs and the
same pleasures" Offering stones, with little
cup shaped holes, are sometimes found on the
roof stones Of graves Of the Stone age They
are popularity called elf mills" and are still
regar'li4. n, holy. and, it is said offerings
are still secretly made in them. W H. Lar

TWO MEETINGS.


Love met me on day
And Love was weeping.
''Why weep sweet Lover" said;
He dropped his golden head.
Saying For Loves decay.
For hearts that are old and dead
III worth the keeping
But while he spoke spied
A wicked arrow peeping
From the CULVER at his side.
And when stopped to kiss him.
Before could caress him.
He seized the tiny dart,
And threw it at my heart.
Then, like lark in May.
Fluttered and flew away
Love met us on day
And Love was gay
We'll met, sweet Love, we said
He tossed his golden head
Like a little child in play:
He said. 20. happy dayl
For not all hearts are dead.
Not all are old and cold:
Smart cancels smart
When heart 10 heart
Ny silver chains enfold

smile" he said, for you and you
Then. lisping out some tender word
And looking up aud laughing low,
snatched the bowstring from his bow
And bound us with the silver cord:
Nor ever shall the sad fates sever
