English Ship Names.

The naming of ships is one of the
difficulties that the admiralty overcome
by using the old names over and over
\eSain. To adopt a new name into the
Wy seriously interferes with the serv-
signal books.
Th4 old names are in the code, and
Ire al convenient for the ships of to-day
rs for those of Nelson's time. But the
introduction of a new name necessitates
an alteration in all the books. That is
why the old names survive generation

A brisk wind and hail storm blew
out of the northwest on Monday eve
ming and not only held the landscape
i'm bondage for few hours but kept
some very sensible people, never be-
fore suspected of cOwardice or even
unusual timidity, in prolonged state
of "shivers'' on the cellar stairs. Of
course most of us gave it ont next
morning that only our terrified sisters
and spouses resorted to the cellar;
and that we, ourselves, only descended
to calm the fears of our feminine
friends or to fetch the babies out of
these damp retreats. But it has since
transpired that some Of US business
men. us bard-tcoreiRg men went be-
low the first floor; and it is
even whispered that we led the pale
procession into the cellar, aud fol-
lowed in its wake when il 1T length
assembled. Like Lawrence of naval
fame, we didn't propose TO give up
the ship.
In view of the traces of havoc that
were to be seen in the damp of the
next morning it is hardly TO be won
dered at that we sought a cover for
our heads. For miles to the west of
town and far to the east, grain stacks
were badly torn. shocks were uncapped
az Il L rees were blown to the ground
or stripped of their branches. Per
haps the worst bit of disorder was TO
be seen in the frollc which the gale
played among the NAPLES of Second
street. Great limbs were thrown
across the road. strewing the lawns
with branches as they fell. and at
least one old pa:ri3rch laid his full
length along the ground and tossed
his arms in the wind no more. At
the Catholic church the Carolan ten
foot memorial window was blown out
of its stops and fell fiat across the
pews-a wrinkled mass of lead and
shattered glass.
On Tuesday the street commits
sioner picked up the debris from the
streets and. while the citizens
dragged the dead shade out of their
dooryards. the merchants let down
their beribboned awnings. Then the
sun came out and began to do his reg
ular business of picking up, and by
sunset he hal done it so provOkingly
well that the roads, that were
drenched in the morning, were at
night as dry and crisp as a cracker.
And 10. though the commissioner has
finished his work and most of US have
forgotten the feel Of the cold cellar
floor. the sun has but begun his dog
DAYS carnival.

How often do you it; all Kinds of
remedies on the market are ''guaran-
teed,' but who gets his money back
in case Of failure? 1t is encouraging
to find an exception. Mr.. James
Manion, Of River Falls bought NO
TO-BAC. the original guaranteed
tobacco-habit cure, from his druggist,
c. r. Taggart He failed to get cured,
applied for a refund Of the money
through the druggist, and the Sterling
Remedy Co., who manufacture NO
TO-BAC, prom tly sent him a check.
This proves that the number OF dis
satisfied purchasers Of NO-TO-BAC
must be very snail. otherwise the
Sterling Remedy Co. could certainly
not make good its guarantee as IL
does. 1t is a story Of merit as well as
honesty.
