ltitchcnck-Wilmnt.

The Anglo-Saxon suffixos "kin" and "coek were used as diminutive or en- dearing forms of personal names, just as the Normans used the suffixes ''et, !" "ot, en md lon. Thus from Hitch, itself q diLinItive of Richard, we get the surnames Hitchkin, Hitchcock, Kitchens and Hitchison. Any common baptismal name affords a number Of such variants, which became fixed as patronymics CT surnames. There are, for example. at least 1J different forms of William available for that purpose.
 English forms: William, giving Will Hams. Williamson, MacWilliam, Fitz- williami Will, giving Wills. Wilson ; Bill, giving Bilson; Willy, giving VII lson.
 Anglo-Sazon forms: Wilkin, giving Wilkie. Wilkins, Wilkinson; Gilkin, giving Gilkinson; Wilcock, giving Will cox.

Inception of Fish Matching.

During tho middle ages, and through out the period of the European predomi- nance of the church of Rome, the neces- sbof providing proper supply of fish for use on Fridays and during Lent did much to create q species of fish culture. That this did lot extend to fish hatch ing, but stopped short at inclosing and regulating the supply of fresh water fishes, seems to us probable. At the same time, the Romans were at least acquainted with the securing of oyster spat, and from this to the artificial ticbing of fish oYa does not seem q very long step or one that may not really have been taken. The probability is, however, that the cost of such artificial lyproduced fish would have been far be- yond the purses of tho multitude, and the wealthy had yiyiers and ponds in which they kept their own fish for their Ugn use.
 The extent to which they have gone may be judged by the system in use among the monks of the monasteries and hs great seigneurs of the continent. which was also introduced into this ] country, probably by the Normans orig nally. The absence of proper convey
 aees for the supply of sea fish to the
 inland parts of the country made it im- eratiye for the various proprietors to meet their own necessities. In doing so 3liN did not fail to discover that certain
 lzds required particular kind of l llltch" upon which to fix their spawn ! Athe supply of this material was an l jaknowledged necessity this may be
 aasdered the first step toward fish
 atching. Scottish Review.

veretarians Use Fleshiy Names.

Vegetarian restaurants are by degrees giving up the use of such titles for their dishes as convey tic idea of meat diet, but they still find the word "steak indispensable. Otherwise their bill of fare is much improved and of more inviting character than it used to be. Indian broth" reads well on cold December day, and "braised onion with tomatoes appeals to many But what is vegetable turkey?"
 It seems to be rather confession of weakness to be dependent on the animal world for names wherewith to invest the various preparations of vegetables, cereals and fruits To America they owe many forms of succulent and tempting food, such as fried corn, maize " n plums and pineapple pudding made frs the timed fruit. The use of cheese, for bidden by some of the strictest follow CTS of vegetarianism, enables the cater CTS to offer such sayory dishes as welsh rabbit, cheese fritters and custards, and the odors that are emitted are of the most sayory and appetizing description.

4 Dancer In Kurdlstan

The performers had already draw, 4h hapselves up in line when I arrived minute later the shrill notes of inc pipe gave the signal for the dancing to commence. Some score of yonn9 .aon and wonien stood shoulder to sbor flor. clasping hands, the line formino a crescent. At the given signal, the clan nne of his hands by youth who stood n front of the semicircle of performers tha dance commenced, the entire line of mon and women stepping slowly for ,uard and then back again, each mace heinz taken little to the right, so that rotating movement was given to tha string of dancers. As tho music quick ened so did the pace, and at each step tbe body from tho waist upward was bant forward and drawn back. Nor were tbe steps themselves the same, for the vouth who gave them time ran up and down the line clapping his hands and singing and shouting directions and changes
 The principal feature of the dance seeAed to be the bringing down of the right foot smartly upon the ground at intervals, when, hand in hand, the whole company remained with their bodies bent for q second or two, to spring hack into position again at a fresh blow of the pipes. Meanwhile the slow rotat- ing movement was maintained, so that tbe entire body was circling round the musicians. What laughter and fun there werei Men and girls giving them selves up to the enjoyment of their na- tional dance, which. graceful and exhil mating, bore no trace of the sensual movements which usually mark the art of dancing in the east Blackwood's Magazine.

The Fighting swiss.

fheyear l5l2 saw the Swiss mercena- rles at the zenith of their power, when waving Austria and France alike away from Milan, they installed therein the ruler of their own choice h the same year they met the Landsknechts at the passage of the Oglio and Ticino, and. fordlng the rivers stark naked. beat them back without waiting even to dress themselves. A few months later they showed even more magnificent in- science when besieged by the French in NoYara; throwing the gates open, they begged the enemy not to be at the pains of making breach, but to walk straight in, Donnez-vous done la peine den trer. , The French made no reply, ex- cept to hammer away with their artil. lefy, whereupon the Swiss mockingly hung the breaches with sheets as stuff. eient protection against so feeble foe. Shortly after arrived re-enforcements from Switzerland, which, without par T. ing 10 rest more than an hour after a long and hurried march, dashed out i'll disorder against the encompassing troops and dispersed them with terrible loss. If We could only reckon upon obedi- enee in our men, said the Swiss lead CTS, we should march through tho whole of France. "-Macmillan s Maga- zine.

An Error About Cats.

An error about eats, and a truly vnl- gar one, is that they lie on young ehil- dreu's breasta ana sack their breath CT sutfecate them. Cats like to lie on the breast of person they love, and are apt to show their happiness by now and then lifting their heads for kiss CT gently touching the face or neck above them with their paw; this sort of pat ting or stroking beloved cheek or throat is one of the more human habits which dogs have not. Seeing one oi our cats lying on her masters chest when he was asleep on tho sofa, 1 understood how the notion had taken root; then, too, cats Me luxurions and fond of warmth, aid may sometimes share baby's crib oz cradle for that reason, as dogs certainly d1.-Ieinp!e Bar

Mr.. Faulkner Opposes the Primary.


In response to the inquiries OF the
Kanawha Gazette relative to the
holding Of IA primary election this
summer for the nomination Of can
dates on the Democratic State ticket,
Senator Faulkner has written letter
in which he expresses himself as
strongly opposed To the Gdzette'$
scheme He assigns the following
rs the reasons for his opposition
In the first place, those candidates
alone for Governor, Auditor, Treas
urcr, Attorney General and the
Judges of the Supreme Court who
are actively seeking the nomination
would be the only ones brought to
the attention Of the people in such a
way as to receive any consideration
at the primaries,
Second, Ii is an experiment which
we can not afford to enter upon in
the present condition Of the party III
the State.
Third, The question should be not
who wants these several offices. but
who, in the aggregate judgment of
the accredited representatives of the
party, sent immediately from the
people, would be the strongest can
didates for the respective Offices for
which they would be nominated.
Fourth, 1t would be impossible,
under the primary system, to make
a fair and equitable representation
upon the State ticket of all sections
of the State, which is one Of the
most essential elements i'm prcduc.
ing harmony and unity of purpose
in the organization.
Fifth, The expense would be large
and the dissatisfaction resulting from
this experiment would, in my judy.
ment, be much greater than that
which follows wise and prudent de.
liberation of the representatives OF
the party in convention assembled.
Notwithstanding these views OF
the Senator large majority Of those
who have answered the GdzeUe'S in.
quiries, give the scheme their
unqualified endorsement.
