Names of London strest..


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 town! 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 other, when we ought to
have gone to Gloucester something else,
than dare tell.
Bob declares he'll be chained to an ad-
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 blessing to get into Picca-
dilly, Oxford street and the Strand, for
then l know where I am; but now /
come to think of it, 1 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 I
ought to say, at the place where Temple
Bar once stood-and Oxford street loses
itself in Holborn.-London Cor Kate

4 QUESTION.

The CHRoNIcE has received the follow
ing:
WAsCo, Or. Jan. II, 1892
Editor Of The Chronicle:
1t is reported here by Mr.. Moody him
self that at the time he was buying
wheat last fall and paying from 5 to 6
cents more per bushel than other buyers,
he shipped to San Francisco and got bet
ter prices than anyone else and there
fore could bid higher and this explains
why he could ship by the u. P. railroad
and pay the regular rates of freight
Knowing your paper to be perfectly re-
liable and always on the right side, l
would like for you to answer the follow
ing question for the benefit of myself
and friends: Why can't other buyers
ship wheat to San Francisco and pay the
same prices in this county as Mr..
Moody, less the frefghts from here to
The Dalles? FARMER.
There is nothing to hinder them that
we know Of, but if they did we do not
believe they would make anything like
five or six cents a bushel by the process.
But the story is not new to the CHRoNI-
Gle; we have heard it before. 1t was
invented to explain how Mr.. Moody
could pay within two cents of the Port
land price for wheat, while the freight
rate was 10 2-5 cents bushel from here
to Portland by the railroad. It's main
object was to deceive the farmer and
lead him to believe that Mr.. Moody was
not being used as the tool of the Union
Pacific in the effort of that company to
crush the peoples boats. But it wont
hold water. 1t won't bear the light. If
M. a. Moody had not been the tool of
the railroad company he would have
shipped his wheat by the Regulator.
when, as everybody knows, her rates
were 2-5 cents a bushel less than those
of the railroad. More than this, every
pound of Klickitat wheat bought by NJ.
A. Moody was ferried across the river
and transferred to the cars, ut an addi-
tional cost OF surely not less than fiftv
cents ton when the same wheat could
have been transferred to, the Regulator
from the platform at .Reckland without
this extra cost. Had NJ. A. Moody not
seen obtaining special fayors from the
railroad he could have saved at least five
cents bushel on every busheI of his
Klickitat wheat by shipping it by the
Regulator. He WAS smart enough to
save five cent bushel by shipping to
San Francisco--so he says. Why was he
not smart enough to save five cents more
by shipping by the Regulator?

The Glow Worms Light.

The English glow worm is the wing
less female of a 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 devouf her. Much speculation has
been INDUCED 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. 1t 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.

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 doctor -
| the chiropodist is a professor, and the
advertising columns of some newspapers
are emblazoped with pictures of these
long haired doctors and professors.
| To man who has been groom the
bestowal of ''doctor medicine" 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 one as gentleman needs or can
desire
This is the title that is almost now a
distinction among medical men, who
feel their own strength and rest on their
consciousness of being masters of their
art-the good old title of 'smister," )" which
some of the best men in the profession
| find ample for all social and professional
purposes. It is certainly infinitely more
honorable than any unacademic or un-
warranted use of the title of ssdoctor. )"
And l see many indications that this
view is shared by the professional and
by many who think they have right by
courtesy to something more.-New York

talk. If the bill goes to the president at
all he will not take weeks or even days
to make up his mind what to do, con-
gress may be sure. The republican
party is exceedingly willing to meet this
issue before the people. All it has to
ask is that the industries and trade OF
the country shall be harmed as little as
possible while the question is pending
in congress. After that the democrats
will see how wise they have been.

A ticking tombstone" draws many
visitors to the cemetery of the London
Tract meeting house on the boundary
line between Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania. Two centuries ago the region
was settled by Quakers from London,
and the meeting house is quaint and
venerable. A constant ticking comes
from one of the old tombstones; and
while many superstitious ears listen to
the sound with awe, practical people say
that the strange noise is caused by a
subterranean rivulet. X -ich drains drop

The following telegram is clipped from
the Oregonian of this date:
SALEM, Or, Jan. 12.-Goyernor PEN
noyer today directed a letter to the
river and harbor committee, in which
he expresses the hope that the commit
tee can incorporate in the bill of appro-
priation for rivers and harbors, the sum
OF $431 900 for portage railway from
the foot of The Dalles to above Cello
falls. on the Columbia river. This ap-
preparation has the unqualified recon-
mendation of the board of engineers, ap-
pointed to report on the advisability OF
building a boat railway between the
two places to overcome the distractions
to navigation.
The sending of this letter is in har-
mony with promise the governor made
some time ago to w. E. Rinehart, OF

tion, and the CHRONICLE published it,
of doing ali in his power to secure a
