Pet Names in Early Times.

The popular authorizations of pet names
in early times wero in, on, ct, kin, cock
and others. Emma was shortened TO I'm,
and for loves sake it became Emmot or
Emmett. Matilda was first Til, then Til
lot. Bartholomew was Bart, then Little
Bart or Bartlett. The popularity OF these
pet names is seen IN the great number OF
them which eventually became family
names. The Tillotsons, tho Emmets and
the Bartletts are numerous in England and
America, although few dream that these
names were originally pet and not sur
names. Before the use Of family names 1t
was often necessary TO use the diminutive
forms, from the fact that the same name
was not infrequeDtly given to two or three
children OF the same family.
As Germans Of today add chen to chill
dren's names as term of epdearment, max

our English ancestry used the equivalent
kin. Watkin was Little Walter, Simkin
was Little Simeon, Perkin Little Peter.
Termination in kin and cock were IN use
among the lower orders-that is, among
the Anglo-Saxons-while the diminutiyes

used by families of Norman blood. AS

italian Race Track Admissions.

Some one has recently been figuring out
what the price Of admission to the trotting
races in Italy would amount to in dollars
and cents The different sections Of the
grounds there are divided of and classified
much moro than anywhere in America. To
that portion which Is along the back
stretch tho admission is four cents; tho
next higher Is twenty cents; then to fair
ly desirable portion quite near the finish
the admission is forty cents, which with
the seats is sixty cents, while to the quar-
ter stretch the admission Is one dollar. Car
riages arc one dollar extra two horse teams
two dollars, and four horse teams three
dollars. Much more interest is taken in
the trotting races there than in some Of
our American cities, and as a rule these
contests are quite well attended There
are now many well bred and fast American
trotters owned in Italy, and the number is
constantly increasing.

The Oceans floor.

After four years Of sounding, dredging,
etc, the expedition sent out under the
auspices Of the British Government for
the purpose Of mapping the floor Of the
ocean, has published it's report and un-
folded its maps TO the curious gaze OF the
land lubbers," says the Philadelphia
Press. They show that the Atlantic il
drained would be a vast plain with a
mountain range near the middle running
parallel with our coast. Another range
intersects this first almost at right an
giles and crosses from Newfoundland to
ireland.
The Atlantic, according to these sound
ings and maps, is thus divided into three
great basins, but they are no longer set
down as "unfathomed depths" The tops
of most of these sea mountains are about
two miles below the surface, and deepest
Of the basins two and a-half miles deeper
According TO Reclus. the tops of these
mountains are as white as though they
were lying in the region of perpetual
snow, the cause being countless numbers
Of a species OF pure white shell which lit
orally cover what would otherwise be
jagged surfaces.
There is a queer old legend which comes
down 10 us from the time of Scion and
Plato, according to which, in the early
ages of the world a continent extended
from the west coast of Africa far out
toward what is now South America.
These recent scientific deep.sea soundings
cast much light on this old tradition. Ac-
cording to their report they found IAN
elevated plateau the shape and extent Of
which corresponds to the size Of the lost
Atlantis almost exactly" What If nine
teenth-century ingenuity should fish up

was lost in fearful cataclysm before

The House Occupied by Man Who
Know Not tho Pioneer.
Everybody knows that Daniel Boone had
a wonderful career as pioneer in Kentucky,
but comparatively few know that after
that state was admitted to the Union he
went to Missouri and repeated his early
career in many particulars. Yet it is 3
fact that he lived twenty-five years in the
latter state, built fortress home there.

lost his Missouri land in almost exactly the
same way he had lost his Kentucky land.
In the valley of the Femme Usage, in st.
Charles county, Mo-, still stands the rock
fortress and home built by Daniel Boone
about ninety-fve years ago, and to all APP
pearances it will stand thousand years,
for it is Of blue limestone and put up in
style that seems TO bid defiance to chance
and time. A recent correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe Democrat found in the
structure German tenant who had never
heard of Daniel Boone In the little room
up stairs where the great pioneer died the
window out of which he would gaze low
ingly and longingly at the woods during
his last illness was closed by frame addi-
tion TO the stone house.
In that room Boone kept for many years
a cherry wood coffin made for himself, in
which he was finally buried, and in his old
age he would often get into it to try the

5000 acres from the Spanish government
there, and at once took possession on the

pronounced invalid.

of nearly a century the old Boone house
still seems in a wild, secluded spot, and no
