It is probable that the idea Of vehicle
with wheels, to he drawn by animals,
must have occurred to men soon after the
domestication of the horse and OK. The
first attempts in this direction were very
rude. In this country the prevalent mode
Of travelling for the first two centuries
was on horseback, the roads. preventing
any very extensive use of wheeled vehi-
cles; but as the country has increased in
wealth, and the highways, city and town
streets have improved, the demand for
public and private carriages has grown TO
be very large. A writer in the Detroit
Free Press gives the origin of the names
of some of the most common vehicles
now in use.
The popular Hanson derives lbs distin-
gushing title from certain Mr.. Hansom
The Brougham, which was first used by
the famous Lord Brougham, took It's title
from that nobleman.
Landau, city in Germany, was the
locality in which was first made the
style of vehicle bearing that name.
Hacks originally were termed hackney
coaches, because they were drawn by
hackney-a name applied to easy going
horses.
The Gig was given that name from its
peculiar jumping and rocking motion,
the word being taken from the French
gigue, signifying the jig or lively
dance.
The term Coach Is derived from the
French coche, a diminutive form of the
Latin conchula, a shell, in which form
the body of such conveyances was
originally fashioned.
Coupe is French in origin, being de-
rived from the verb cooper (coopay) to
cut. This was considered an appropriate
designation because it greatly resembled
a coach with the front part cut of.
Seldom, if ever, is the full term Omni-
bus applied to those numbering vehicles.
With the characteristic brevity of Eng
lish speaking races the title has been
changed to Bus. These were first seen
in Paris in 1927, the original name being
nothing more than the Latin word signi-
flying for all. I"
Cab is an abbreviation of the Italian
caprioIa, which is changed to cabriolet
(cabriolay) in French. Both words have

The hero of the popular song OF Robin
Adair, which is attributed TO Lady Car
oline Keppel, was Robert Adair, sur.
geon (f7l0(?)-l790). well known 70 the
London fashionable circles of the
eighteenth century as the Fortunate
Irishman.
His detection in an early amour drove
him from Dublin TO London. On his
way he fell in with lady of fashion who
had been slightly hurt in runaway acci-
dent. He travelled with her in her car
riage TO London as surgical attendant, and
on their arrival was presented with fee
of 100 guineas and general invitation to
her house. There he met Lady Caroline
Keppel, daughter of the SECOND Earl of
Albemarle, who, forgetting her high line
age, fell desperately in love with the Irish
surgeon at sight.
The Albemarle family, dismayed at the
project of such mesalliance, took Lady
Caroline from London to Bath, and tried
every means to make her forget her
lover, but in vain. At last their opposi-
ton was withdrawn, and the couple were
united.
1t was at Bath that Lady Caroline is
said to have composed the words of
Robin Adair, setting them to the plaint-
i've Irish tune of Eileen Aroon, which
she had heard her lover sing.
The original song of Eileen Aroon" is
attributed to one Carol O'Daly, an early
Irish bard who fiourished apparently be-
fore the tenth century. A Munster poet
of the seventeenth century rewrote the
words, and in this form it was translated
by John Anster and paraphrased by
Gerald Griffin. 1t is in Griffin's para
phrase that the song is known 20 this
generation. Il Lippincott's.

An Open Letter to Rent Payers

Did you know that syndicates of capi
talists are negotiating for the purchase
of every acre of eligible suburban prop
erty about the cities of Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis? Such is the
fact. With keen eye to the future,
they see that these neighborhoods
especially the magnificent salt water
views environing our own city, must
soon become peopled with thousands OF
home-owners, whose self-respect viii
not permit them to live longer in the
sitting quarters of over-crowded cities.
The rapid development and growth OF
mutual building and loan associations,
and the easy and safe opportunities Of
fered through them of obtaining homes,
has inspired these syndicates to invest
their money where there is such evident
certainty Of large returns. Before prices
double, why dom t you act for yourselves,
secure lot or two at present prices
which are so veryslow, and be prepared
for the bo0ni Secure lot to build on

"Please try the left shoe on, said the
Lady who sat next me in shoe store.
Why was that?" asked the man who
had served her, when she departed.
Hole in her stocking. Oh, yes. You
would hardly believe how many ladies
have holes in their stockings. We al
ways know it. It's try the right shoe
on or the left, never mind the other.

little break in my stocking. / didn't ex-
pect to get my shoes tried to-day And
often the little break horrifies them, hav-
ing grown to big break during the day.
Oh, yes, little breaks come sometimes,
and the lady herself does not know it till
the shoe is removed. In those cases she
usually says nothing, but just bushes.
The hole is always genuine case of acci-
dent when woman takes it that way.
Sometimes they gasp, so that we shall
see how surprised they are, but then
some women pretend that. We can

THE DOMINION BEREFT.
PASSING AWAY OF SIR JOHN
MACDONALD.

At the Zenith of His Fame when the sum
mons Came-.rief Retrospect Of His
Long Public Lie symptom or Mon
archy and Federation and Chief Figure
In tanadian Politics.
IL Is very long since any other man
held place 50 peculiar In the affairs or
any country as Sir John A. Macdonald
has won for himself In the affairs OF the
Dominion Of Canada. There Is not, nor
has there been In modern times, a man
In the United States whose demise could
seriously disarrange the settled policy or
the country. No such man now lives In
England. The political observation OF
Bismarck did not disarrange the policy
Of Germany There is no man now llv-
ing In France whose death would cause
Jar or q pause IN the motion OF the
political machinery OF the country But
the death OF Sir John will leave the
Tories of the Dominion without leader.
While his life was devoted 70 the service
OF Canada, he was for many years ono
OF the foremost men In the British EN-
pire, distinguished above his fellows In
those vast colonies OF Britain that glrdle
the earth.
To look back over the great retrospect
OF Sir John A. Macdonald's long public
life is to review the whole history or
greater Canada. He was a native
Scotchman, but he became identified
with the affairs OF British North Amer
lea before the patriot war, commencing
the practice Of law In Kingston In 1886,
In his 21st year. He was active In
political life from this time. lie was
first elected to the Parliament OF Upper
Canada more than forty-seven years ago.
He was chosen for Kingston, for which

Singular Story OF the Quarrymsn Who In

Present indications leave hardly a hope
that Duncan, who so murderously assaulted
his wife in Wales, will escape charge OF
murder. says London special An inter-
esting statement, not yet presented In evil
dence, is told by the quarryman who came
upon the couple and prevented the compile
tion of the deadly work 1t is that while
pursuing another way home he felt n mys-
terious impulse tn take secluded and to-
tally unfrequented path instead OF the one
which he ordinarily followed This i'm
pulse he is utterly unable 10 explain but
It was powerful that he did not resist IL.
and when he started on the path he at once
felt easier in his mind But for this singular
prompting nobody would have seen Dun
can and his wife on the terrible occasion.

Frogs Legs and Frenchmen.

People are usually inclined to regard
that toothsome Wand known as frogs
legs as n dish peculiar to the French,
and more than once unfriendly individu-
ais have alluded to that country as a
nation OF frog-eaters.
For this reason / was surprised the
other day while dining at modest little
Partisan restaurant in the French quarter
OF this city to find that out of party of
four French people, two ladies and two
gentlemen, there were two who had
never tasted the succulent white meat
peculiar to the hind legs of the gentle
bullfrog.
More than that, reither could be per-
suaded to taste the dish at all, although
it was served Ia poulettc and cooked
