Names of London Streets.

don't wonder that reformers shudder
when it comes to the names of streets.
myself have counted twenty-six King
streets, sixteen Queen streets and thir-
teen Duke streets in this townt The
same name will repeat itself in street,
road, place, crescent and square, upper
and lower, east and west, until the brain
begins to soften. We've spent more
shillings in directing cabs to Gloucester
something or otf;er, when we ought to
have gone to Gloucester something else,
than dare tell
Bob declares he'll be chained to an adj
dress book hereafter. l suppose good
deal of this repetition is due to the
greediness with which London swallows
up town after town. But really there is
no excuse for baptizing the same streets
several times. One street in our neigh
borhood. not half a mile long, has three
names. It's a blessing to get into Picca-
dilly, Oxford street and the Strand, fol-
then | know where | am; but now ]
come to think of it, l don't know any
thing of the sort, for Piccadilly runs into
| Knights bridge, that street runs into
several things, the Strand becomes Fleet
street at Temple Bar-or, perhaps
ought to say, at the place where Temple
Bar once stood-and Oxford street loses
itself in Holborn.-London Cor. Kate

A .'ticking tombstone: draws many
visitors to the cemetery of the London
line between Delaware and Pennsyl-

was settled by Quakers from London,
and the meeting house is quaint and
venerable. A constant ticking comes
from one of the old toinbstones; and
while many superstitious ears listen to
the sound with awe, practical people say
that the strange noise is caused by a
subterranean riyulet. IS ich drains drop

The Glow worm,s Light.

The English glow worm is the wing
less female of winged beetle. Some
suppose that the light she bears is be-
slowed for her protection to scare away
the nightingale and other nocturnal
birds. Others, however, believe that the
gift of brightness is the very lure by
which her foes are assisted to discover
and devour her. Much speculation has
been indulged in as to the nature of the
glow worms light, which is not put out
by water nor seemingly capable of Civ
ing forth any heat. x It has been asserted
that the light diffusing substance con-
tains phosphorus, but this has never
been proved. Certainly it is incapable
of communicating ignition to anything.

Title. and plain ..m,ster.. !.

Not many years ago the title of doctor
was considered justly as an honor and
an evidence of sound education and
training.
The extraordinary fondness in this
country for titles of all kinds, especially
those of doctor, professor and colonel or
some military equivalent, has taken
away all the prestige from the name.
The druggist at the corner is a ''doctor, :"
the chiropodist is a professor" and the
advertising columns of some newspapers
are emblazoned with pictures of these
long haired doctors and professors.
To a man who has been-a groom the
bestowal of ''doctor medicine,n no
doubt, still confers an honor; but, on the
whole, the title has become rather a
trade mark and a convenient means of
unobtrusive advertisement rather than a
badge of distinction or evidence of
scholarly attainment.
There seems to be a growing feeling
that, after all, the title of ''mister" is as
noble a one as gentleman needs or can
desire
This is the title that is almost now a
distinction among medical men, who
