"Dr. Holcombe. our president, is
Miss Sibyrs brother. When she came
home from abroad after finishing her
education, she came here to visit him.

of one aunt When Miss Sibyl was
here she felt so sorry for the poor I'M

Washington News" is a private
street running from University place to
Fifth avenue, in New York. in the rear
of the fashionable homes fronting
Washington square. The name, p =
haps, occurs nowhere else in the -
if indeed it is to be found in any :her
American town. The word New" has
an odd and interesting history. 1t
means primarily to change, then to
mott, or shed feathers, as birds do at
certain seasons. Then the noun came
TO mean the place where hawks were
kept while melting, then to mean a
cage. and finally, since hawks were kept
in and about the stables, to mean any
stable. The term is still common
enough in English towns All the
houses bordering Washington News are
either stables or the homes of servants.
While searching for gold and silver
in the Cascade range, Washington, a
prospector stumbled on ledge of crys-
tai quartz suitable for making glass.
According to a specimen its percentage
of metal substances is very low. One
ton of it would produce only twenty
one cents worth of gold, but prospec-
tors have searched in vain for that very
quartz along the coast.
