beings in way. / have a beautiful
ladybird singer, and friend brought
me a fine, stalwart gentleman bird
from Germany the other day. put the
two cages together, and you should
have seen the fun.
1.-The feminine vanity and toilet max

too, primped himself up and was in fine
feather. Gradually they began to talk
about the weather, l suppose-and, by
Jove in less than an hour, when my
back was turned, saw them in the
looking glass kissing each other. That's
a fact
"The male canary always remembers
his mate and can tell her whistle in a
roomful of birds. One little chap, who
was in a cage with six others, nearly
broke his wings to get out when he
heard the chirp of his mate, whom I
had just brought back after two weeks
absence in the country. When canaries
are Matching, the proud, prospective
papa takes his turn on the eggs and feeds
his mate very generously, sometimes

How the Pullman oafs Are Named.

Miss Florence Pullman, daughter of
the head of the company, is said to draw
a salary of $4,000 year for naming
cars. In the performance of her duties
Miss Pullman evidences decided pref
erence for names which sound euphoni-
ously and which have soft and music
al quality.
Many of the names of the cars are of
Spanish origin. They are the names of
countries, rivers, historic towns, battle
fields, flowers and geographical names
miscellaneously selected. Such names as
Guatemala, Brazil, Guiana, Peru, Chile,
Mexico and the Central American states
are frequently seen. Floral names, such
as Narcissus, Sweetbrier, Geranium,
May Bells and other floral favorites are
common, while Windsor, Worcester, In
dianola and the names of states are also
common. Germania, Italy, Egypt, ETC.,
are often seen.
There is a fine discrimination display
ed in the naming of cars for special serv-
ice. For instance, dining cars are in all
cases named after celebrated cooks, as
Savarin, and the cooks of famous men
and women. There are cars named after
the cook of Queen Victoria (Francatelli)
and Of Emperor William of Germany,
the president of France, and noted chefs
of mention in the literature of cooking.
Smok & cars attached to such trains
as the limited express are given names
which suggest luxury and leisurely en-
joyment, as Sultan, Khedive, Mussul-
man, etc. Observation cars are nearly
always named after some famous place
of scenic beauty, as Yellowstone, Yosem-
lite, Appalachian, Watkins Glen, Nj
agara, tc-Pittsburg Post.

Pagan.

The Latin word from which pagan is
derived originally meant fountain or
spring; then the village which sprang
up around it, and finally the residents
in the village. As Christianity took
strong root at first in the large centers
of population and the worship of the
pagan deities fingered longest in the
country and among the country villages
it came to be understood that pagan,
or villager, was, in virtue of his resi-
dence, a worshiper of the old gods, and
thus the term acquired its present sig.
nificance.

OUR DRUGS FILL THE BILL.

completely. Medicines to serve
their purpose must contain the
right drugs and nothing but the
right drugs and drugs can't be
right at all unless they are pure,
fresh, and exactly what they're
represented to be. Unless phys
ician can rely upon the remedy en-
ployed, he cannot prescribe prop

the patient is the sufferer. Puriety
is the sum total of drug excellence,
