About GeOgraphicaI Names.

We have become so accustomed to
rolling the proper names in our geo.
praphies over our tongues as gllby as
we do our own. that few of us ever
stop to think how much of history,
political, natural, and religious is
wrapped up in a few syllables.
How many towns do you know that
end in burg" or borough ?" Take
for the first one Edinburgh, for inst
ance; how came 1t by that name in
stead of Stumptown or Hardscrabble
Let us take "burgh" out of the
name first. "Burgh" means in En-
gland and Scotland corporate town.
All the English towns that end in
berry" "burrow," bury" borrow "
etc, have that ending from "burgh," "
In the German it means castle or
fortified town. So much for our
"burgh." Then, in Edinburgh, it
means the castle or town of-whom or
what? Here "Edin" is only "Edin
shortened, and Edinburgh, the town
of Edin.
Taking this one as a model, the stu
dy becomes easy and interesting.
Augsburg is in the town of Augustus.
Wurzburg is the town of herbs, or Herb
town. Aalborg is the town of eels, or
Eel-town. Canterbury is the town or
city of Kent. IF you want to know
what Marlborough means, dig into the
soil and turn up the mari.
So far we are getting on tamously
but suppose you take next the town OF
Schwarzenberg if the front part of
this Name means black, then must the
town he Blacktown? No; for here
comes an exception. The berg
towns are named from a German word
which means mountain, instead Of
town or castle, and SO hwarZenburg
is "Black Mountain town" and not
Blacktown. How many others can
you think of ending with "berg ?"
Newberg, New Mountain town Adels-
berg, Mobiles hill
There is another word that has got
into a great many of our names OF
places, which, when you have found it
out, really constitutes part of the
ecclesiastical history of the world.
Take the name Dunkirk, for instance !;
there is a Scotch word "dune," which
means hill or a fort on hill.
"Krrche" or "kirk" is church. Dun
kirk. then, becomes a church on hill.
Kirby is another name thus derived.
by" is another Scotch word for town,
and "kir" is an abbreviation Of "kirk;'
hence Kirby becomes ChnrchtoWn.
Any name IN which you can find the
syllable "kir" is likely to point out
the location of an ancient church.-Se-
lected.

Potato Experiments.

Of 122 varieties and seedlings of the
potato tested the past season at the Wis
consin station, the following ten were
most productive, yielding in the order
named: Seeding from G. E. Angel,
Rose Beauty, Monarch. Duplex, Late
Beauty of Hebron, Mullaly, Alexander's
Prolific, Seneca Red Jacket, White Beau
ty of Hebron and Wisconsin Beauty.
Placed in the order of their table quality,
these varieties would rank as follows:
Alexander's Prolific, White Beauty of
Hebron, Late Beauty of Hebron, Duplex,
Monarch. Wisconsin Beauty, Seneca Red
Jacket, Rose Beauty, Mullaly, seeding
from G. E. Angel. Both with cuttings
and whole tubers, the largest merchant
able yield came from the heaviest seed
ing, though the increase of merchantable
yield was by no means in proportion to
the increase Of seed. The proportion of
small potatoes increased with the increase
of seed. The smaller whole potatoes gave
inferior results to the smaller cuttings.
Two single eyes in hill yielded decided
ly more than one, without a correspond
ing increase in small potatoes. No loss
in yield followed planting in hills as COM
pared with drills. Theresultswere clearly
opposed to cutting off the 'tseed end" of
the potato before planting. No advan-
tage followed sprinkhngthe cuttings with
land plaster before planting.

Twelve Oh Dresses.

"It's going to be a beautiful party,
mother There are to be twelve girls,
and each one is to have fairy lamp at
her plate. 0 no-not twelve, either !;
there will be only eleven of US. Belle
Marks won't 60"
"Why won't Belle go?" asked Mil
dren Smiths mother.
because she has nothing to wear
but an old dress, real old muslin that
bas been washed and darned. All the
rest of US have new dresses, and you
know Belle would feel bad. We are
so sorry Everybody loves Bell, and
she knows so many nice games to
play"
"Couldn't you persuade her to go?"
asked Mrs. Smith. 1T seems to me
she could have just as nice a time in
an old dress"
20 no, mother she would feel queer.
l offered to lend her dress Il knew
you would let me), but she wouldn't
y take it,"
I like her all the better for that
said the mother. "But, Mildred, did
you offer to wear your old dress too :?
Maybe that would make her willing to
CO."
"Wear my old dress? o mother l
don't want to do that ~
every WE'LL" said Mrs. Smith kind
ly. II won't say any more about it.
When you get to have an old eyes as
mine, little daughter, you will see that
fine dress is one of the smallest
things in the world-a great, great deal
smaller than giving to anybody sim
gle hours pleasure. But perhaps l am
asking too much to expect you to see
that yet"
Mildred went off to school feeling
very much stirred up in her little
mind. The thought of the new dress,
with its little frills of lace, was very
tempting. "That plain old white mus
lin is horrid ~ she said to herself,
"but then it would be so nice if Belle
could have part of the fun too"
Was it white angel that at the
little girls side and made it seem bet
ter to please Belle than TO wear her
but 1 believe an angel was there.
At the noon recess Mildred and Belle
ran up to Mary Clifton with bright
faces 80 Mary" cried Belle gayly,
"please ask me over again to come to
your party I want to say Yes this
time. Did you ever know anything so
sweet? Mildred is going to wear her
plain old muslin to keep me from feel
ing bad"
lyon won't mind having US
in old dresses, will you, Mary?" asked
Milly in joyous tone. "We're going
to carry big punches of flowers out of
my garden, and that will make us look
fine, you know"
"Mind, indeed?" cried Mary. III
just believe" She stopped short off,
and, kissing the two little girls, hur-
r;ed away with out finishing her SEN
tence.
But when the twelve fairy lamps
were lighted, Mildred and Belle found
out what bright idea had struck Mary,
for all twelve little girls wore old dres-
ses and carried bunches Of flowers.
Nov, Pm never going to mind
about my old dresses again." said Belle
as she kissed the others goodbye.
"You may all wear the newest sort of
dresses after this, and when I put on
my old white I will feel happy to-
think how sweet you all were to me
about it. I'll just love the old things"

clover will not thrive. 1t is useful In
mixture for dyy soil.
Red clover is g perennial but of very
few years duration. 1t isnutritous and
voluble in moist locations. The large
red or pea vine clover, also known as
English cow grass, is reliable sort for
blowing under. White clover is espe-
cially priced for lawns and pastures.
Crimson clover, a sketch of which Is
here reproduced from James NJ. Thor
burn & Co.'S annual descriptive cata-
logue for 1891, is an annual with crimson
flowers, about (which many reports were
made last season, some exceedingly COM
mandatory, while others were not favor
able. Thorburn says that ''sown late In
the summer it furnishes an early green
fodder the following season; it is also
excellent for soihng." Beal says, cit
belongs to warm climate, and is not so
popular at the north as is red clover"
Japan clover is perennial, voluble
only in southern localities, where it
thrives in any soil. 1t makes fair hay,
and stock eat it readily when green.
