Names Wanting.

In names taken from trade, such as
Archer, Fisher, Brewster, Glover, etc,
to be found in the London Directory,
neither Banker, nor Soldier, nor Sailor
occurs. but it must be remembered that
the first Of these names is scarcely as
old as the days Of the Stuarts, before
which time the Goldsmiths kept run
ming cashes" and acted as ''banquiers, I"
for the word is one Of modern French
importation. Soldier (soldat) also is Of
foreign and comparatively recent origin.
The absence Of Sailor is supplied, though
very sparingly it must be owned, by
Boatman and Boatwright, Shipman and
Shipwright. But, then, it is only in
comparatively modern times that we
became sea loving people, and that

Smallpox.

The marks that smallpox leaves on
the hands and face may be entirely pre-
vented by the simple expedient of hang
ing red curtains round the patients bed.
This marvellous discovery was made
in the reign of Edward / by DR.. Cad
desden, who from that time has been
persistently ridiculed and laughed at
by men Of science to this day, notwith-
standing the fact that he claimed to
have effected many cures, notably that
of Edward ii himself when Prince of
Wales.
He ordered that the patient should be
wrapped in scarlet cloth, and that the
bed and furniture Of his room should be
painted in the same color. This was the
main cure, but he continued to treat the
patient in the usual manner.
1t is only quite recently that it has
been discovered that everything claimed
for this simple remedy is perfectly true.

He superintended the loading, and
while l was aiming the gun he looked
over the range as carefully as did the
lookout, and from his air of responsible
ity one might have supposed that to him
had been intrusted the duty of seeing
that the range was clear.
But when we started for the bomb
proof, instead of following us, as was his
custom, Bombshell remained on the
parapet, looking ont to sea and shifting
the air. In moment he dashed off
through the bushes which covered the
narrow beach between the parapet and

Remarking upon some of the geo.
graphical charts now available to the
student of physical science, it is pointed
out by writer that elsewhere in the
world there is not SO majestic flow of
water as the gulf stream, remarkable
body having its headquarters in the
gulf of Mexico, from thence flowing
northeasterly along the shores of the
United States to the banks Of New
foundland. Then, rushing across the
Atlantic ocean to the British isles, it is
divided into two currents, one flowing
northward to the Atlantic ocean, the
other southward to the Azores, and the
velocity of this immense flow being also
more rapid than that Of the Mississippi
at New Orleans or even of the Amazon
at 100 miles above its mouth. Phenom-
email. too, is the fact that, although its
bed and banks are cold water, yet the
vast stream is very warm, and so great
is the absence of affinity OF commin-
Cling between these waters that their line
Of junction is distinctly visible to the
eye. Further, the waters Of this Won
derful stream do not in any part of their
course touch the bottom of the sea. They
are defended at the bottom and sides by
what has been termed a trough Of cold
water, one of the best nonconductors.
Consequently very little heat is lost,
and the warm water is carried thou
sands Of miles, losing only four degrees
of heat on the journey from the gulf of
Mexico to the British isles.

DIRECTED HER LETTER TO HEAVEN.
Pathetic Little Story of Chiid's Epistie
to Her Dead Mother.


At recent wedding the bride had
retired to her dressing room TO don her
travelling gown. Her mother had been
dead year or more, and she had had
the constant care and companionship of
her little sister ever since their aiilic-
tion. The 7-year-old entered the room
and went to her sisters chair very
thoughtfully. Drawing a letter from
the little pocket, she said:
"Alice, here is a letter to mamma. l
have just written, telling her all about
the wedding. Will you send it to her?'
The elder sister, little shocked, re-
piled as gently as possible that she
couldn't send letter to mother.
Men the little one. looking quite
bright, said promptly:
ooh, yes, you can, because now you
are married, you will be getting little
girl, and when you send for her. just
give the doctor this letter, and he can
take il 30 mamma when he goes for the
baby"
And there ON the envelope was the
address, printed as best she could: "To
Mamma, In Heaven. Kindness Of the
Doctor. "
She took the letter, and hugged the
little one to hide the tear which was
rubbed off on tho curly, brown head -

Odd Provision For the Safety Of Liners.

"Do you know" said a prominent
shipping man, that 1t is rule with
the big transatlantic steamship com
panies that the wife Of the captain shall
not travel in his ship? It's fact The
company strongly prohibits its captains
from taking their wives aboard with
them. The supposition is that if any
thing should happen to the ship the
captain, instead of attending to his pub
lie duty, would devote his attention
mainly to the safety of his wife. So
that if the wife Of captain wants to
go abroad she must take passage in
some other vessel This rule also holds
in many of the freight lines. "-Phila'

connihsr the Servants.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The servant girl problem will not down
at any ones bidding, and contriyes to dis
tract housewives everywhere. In New
York 1t is even a more perplexing question
than at the West, and there the German
women who lead the social world, to the
number of about 200, have organized for
mutual protection against the servants
guild, which numbers more than 1,000 act
i've members. The purpose of the new as
sociation is to guard the interests of the
employer and the employe. and. If possible.
to better the condition of the latter. The
plans of the society were first conceived
by Mrs. l.. Rosenberg. who is the president.
A woman becoming an employer member
of the society pays an initiation fee of 50.
and g in advance as dues every six months.
This money is turned into a fund, from
which the servant members will receive
the following premiums as rewards for
faithful services:
Upon the expiration of two years faith
full and uninterrupted service in the same
family, the servant will be awarded S20
For three years uninterrupted service, $50.
For five years uninterrupted service, S45,
and for ten years service, 500.
Incompetent, immoral servants, or those
who neglect their duties, will be dropped
from the society's list, and will forfeit its
privileges. Each employer member has the
privilege of providing herself with one or
more servants as often as necessity may
require

Types of the Ideal woman.

Mr. Gleeson White discusses in CasselPs
Family Magazine no less important a sub
ject than the evolution of women. Mr.
White approaches the matter from an
artistic standpoint. There are, he remarks
several distinct aspects of beauty-beauty
of form. beauty of color, beauty of wit and
beauty of pathos. But the ideals embody-
ing them have not been evolved in the
above, nor in any order; nor has any one
preserved its entire supremacy for long.
The matchless head of Aphrodite still ap-
pears absolutely satisfying to cultured
taste to-day: but when you see it translat-
ed to color, as Albert Moore often re-em-
bodied it, then is something lost. At the
best Mr.. White considers the Greek and
Roman types are Unconditional, and do not
awaken more than esthetic rapture; for in
those days even portraiture aimed to ele-
yate the individual to a type.
He would have us go back to Reynolds
in order to find the highest type of the
modern ideal. Sir Joshua's portrait of
Lady William Gordon caught the pathos of
the Madonna ideal with the intelligence
that has become the woman's share. In
the Botticelli virgins. or the Raphael.
sweet forgiveness Is absolute: in the types
of Reynolds and Gainsborough TO this
charm are added sense of justice and
a distinct substratum of wit and vivacity.
In short, ''the lady has been evolved, not
the saint nor the chatelaine, the minister
ing angel or the blue stocking. but the true
woman who can be all these.

why She Take. His Name.

The practice of a woman changing her
name on marriage originated from Ro-
man custom, and came into use after the
Roman occupation, says a writer in the
Commercial Tribune. Thus Julia and Oc-
tavia, married to Pompey and Cicero, were
called by the Romans Julia of Pompey, Oc-
tavia of Cicero, and in later times women
in most European countries signed their
names in the same way, but omitted the
.'of." On the other hand. at the beginning
of the seventeenth century, the usage
seemed doubtful, since we find Catherine
Barr so signing herself after she had twice
married, and we always hear of Lady Jane
Grey (not Dudley, Arabella Stuart (not
Seyrnour), etc.
Some persons think that the custom or
iginated from the Scriptural teaching that
husband and wife are one. This was the
rule of law so far back as Bracton, and it
was decided in the case of Won VS.. Smith,
in the reign of Elizabeth, that a woman by
marriage loses her former name and le-
gally receives the name of her husband
The custom, however. is not universal. In
Spain and Portugal married women do not
take the names OF their husbands, but con-
tinue to be known by their own. In many
parts of the United States a woman never
relinquishes her maiden name, and is called
by it as often as by that OF her husband.
Even in the rural parts of England one
often finds a married woman called by her
maiden name, and in country districts of
Scotland is is sometimes found that both
names are used. In many parts of France
and Belgium the husbands and wife's
names are used. together when either OF
them is mentioned.
