scores of Them Are Based on God and
Christian Festivals.
Names compounded with one or other
Of the words which express the Deity
have always been common with the He
brews as well as with Christian and pa
gan nations. The pagans had but few
names so combined with the creative
power in which they were unbelievers,
but these few seem to have been quite
popular, as may be proven by the legions
of such names as Theocritus, Theophi-
lus, Theognis, Theodorus, Theophanes,
Timotheus and others with "Theo" and
its counterparts as a prefix. After the
rise of the Christian religion the above
enumerated names became quite COM
mon with believers in Jesus, but seem
to have fallen into corresponding disuse
among the pagans. Among the Greek
God names we find. Theosthenes signi-
flying strength of God; Theopemptus,
sent by God; Theoctistus, God-made;
Theodulus, servant of God; Theog-
nostus, known of God Theophylact,
guarded by God; Theotimus hon
ored by God. Both the Greek and
Latin languages express the name
"God-given" in different forms, as Theo-
doretus, Theodorus (the same as the
pagans), Theodotus, Adeodatus, Deus
dedit, etc; the last peculiar form, it
seems, did not become common until
about the end of the seventh century,
A. D., after it had been borne by the
sixth Archbishop of Canterbury, the
first Saxon occupant of the primatial
see. OF Latin names of the same class
may be noted, Deiculus, worshipper of
God; Deiferus, bearer of God; Deogra-
titus, thanks be to God; Quodoultdeus,
signifying what God wills" The last
is very common name in Egypt and
the Barbary States of North Africa
The Redeemor's name originated Chris
tian, Christians, Christmas and Chris
topher, with their feminine forms of
Christa, Christina and Christatia, to say
nothing of Christobel, Christota and
Christarea, which are but foruJs of the
others.
To Christianity also may be referred
many other names. From redemption
we have Redemptus and Re.
paratus; from salvation we get Sal
vius, Solvianus Soteris and Softer From
the word baptism, which is also directly
connected with the religion of Christ,
we get the names of Renatus and Resti-
TITUS. The various Christian festivals
also supply us with many pr@nomens
or given names, such as Paschalis and
Paschasius, which are from the Easter
festival, and Natalis and Natalia, from
Christmas, or the day of the Nativity.
Epiphany is the original of both Epi-
phanius and Epiphania, male and fe-
male pr@nomens, respectively.
With but little extra research this ar,
ticle could DO heightened to two col
umns, but enough has been given to
show that God, the Redeemer, Christian.
ity and the various festivals have beer
the starting point of many of our names,
both the pr@nomens and surnames. -

CATCHING A GOLD.
The Trouble Explained and Some Of Its
Causes Enumerated.

The Trouble Explained and Some Of Its
Causes Enumerated.
What do we mean when we say we
have taken cold9 In literal sense,
we have done no such thing; and
modern writer has suggested that what
is called catching cold" would be bet
ter expressed by the phrase, catching
heat. What actually takes place Is
something as follows: We expose some
part of the body to draft; the surface
becomes chilled, and the circulation, to
some extent, is arrested; the blood and
other fluids are sent in another direc-
ton. What should have been thrown
out through the surface, is turned in
on the mucous membranes; and as these
parts become congested, sneezing takes
place; there is an abnormal quantity of
fluids thrown upon the mucous surfaces,
and the system makes an effort to get
rid of it.
This taking cold" may be caused
by sitting for few moments in strong
current of cool air; it may be the back
of the neck that is exposed; or it might
be some other part of the body. Hold
ing the hands in very cold water for a
considerable length Of time will often
cause one to take cold. Or sitting with
cold feet will do the same thing, espe-
cially if the general circulation is fee
BILE. Clothing one part of the body too
much and another part too little will
frequently give one cold. Any thing
that arrests the free circulation of blood
and sends it in on the mucous surface
may produce this effect.
The most frequent causes of all, per-
haps, of taking cold, is the one stated,
that of catching heat" Sitting for
hours in a room where the temperature
is eighty degrees or upward, and then
going out into colder atmosphere,
frequently produces cold; this is par
ticularly the case where the air is not
the impurity has more to do with Ii
than the heat; and the two combined
will rarely fail to cause an influenza or
a sore throat; sometimes full-fedged
pneumonia. BY exposing ones self to
hot, foul air, the whole skin is for the
time debilitated and on reaching a
cooler atmosphere the blood is driven
from the surface, and congestion of the
mu cous membranes will almost certain
ly follow; either there is cold on the
lungs" or sore throat, or there is an
attack Of acute catarrh,-St Louis Mag.

ACuriosity in Accidents.

The possible danger in the wearing Of
cheap combs and bracelets made of cell
luloid was most curiously illustrated re-
Gently in Paris. A young girl sat down
before the fire to study her lessons. She
had on what is called a crop comb"
As she leaned forward the comb became
heated, and burst into flame. The girls
hair was partly burned off, and for a
long time afterward no hair would grow,
as the skin of the head was much in
jured. Celluloid must be at 50 degrees
Fahrenheit before it will burn, conse-
quently the danger is not very great as

but suppose must / certainly can't

Terriers second then rendered d
handsome apology to Scott, who, with a
magnanimity which provoked applause,
thereupon Immediately apologized also,
which so affected NJ. Ferrier that, after
the fashion of his countrymen, be
would have thrown himself on M.

pointed despairingly to the gallery
where his supremacy now was over
thrown, his prestige as marksman
vanished forever.
And thus was the duel between M.
Scott and M. Ferrier neatly averted by
the ingenuity of M. Wainwright.
M. Maupassant was a distinct gamer
by the hoax, for in addition to the
splendid reputation 1t gave his gallery,
he Immediately received the remaining
two hundred and fifty francs from M.
Wainwright The electric bell, wire
and batteries which Wainwright had
purchased that morning and with the
aid of the ingenious mechanic put in
such admirable working order, were
also given by Wainwright to the worthy
proprietor of the gallery, who instantly
disposed of the whole outfit for cash
even to the little button which Vain
wright had pressed so efficiently every
time his friend Scott fred off his blank
cartridges.
And Scott!
Well, he was the hero OF Paris for al
least a fortnight, and was pointed at OF
the boulevards as the greatest shot II
