The Masculine Sounding Names of One

A woman spending the summer in
an isolated farmhouse was much
amused by the rather masculine sound
Of the names of her hosts six daugh-
ters, says the New York Times. This
was the explanation offered: "Well,
you see, me an my wife wanted to
name the children after our brothers.
She he'd three an l two. We neither
on us he'd airy sisters. My wife's a
pretty smart woman bout most every
thing, but the way she twisted them
names an made en- do for the girls
did beat all. We never he'd any boys.
There's Villa for my oldest brother
Bill, Thomasine for Tom airline
for Charlie Josepha for 'Joe,' and
Roberta for Bob Well, when the
sixth came my father said we ought to
name one after him, since we he'd
twisted the uncles' names around.
Il tell you Nicodemus was a poser,
and we didn't want to slight the old
man. Finally my wife hit on Nicola.
There was young fellow from New
York boardin' here, and he thought
Nicotine would be a good name. He
said it was real name, and showed it
to us in book he was readin'. I think
my wife would have done it, for she
rather liked the sound, but my oldest
daughter wa mt quite sure about the
young fellow; thought he miGht be

A Vienna scientist has made a series
of interesting experiments with the
virus of such insects as bees and wasps,
and comes to the conclusion that the
effectiveness of the irritating substance
depends largely upon the mood of the
insect. A drop of the fluid taken from
the poison bag of a dead hornet, for in
stance. produces slight itching, bus
nothing resembling the inflammation
caused by hornet sting with a much
smaller quantity of the same virus.
This theory is supported by the curl
Gus fact that under the influence of
rage the saliva of all sorts of otherwise
harmless animals can become virulent
enough to produce alarming and even
fatal symptoms. Death by blood pois-
oning has more than once resulted
from the bite of wounded squirrel, q
chipmunlS or a Gagged rat.
