PLACE NAMES.
Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
 In Massachusetts.

Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
 In Massachusetts.
 In tho Middlesex fells some good old colonial names are preserved, like Jin- glejerry hill and Shillyshally brook. Spot pond was named by Governor Winthrop, who discovered it in the win. ter, because of the many rocks that showed through the ice and spotted the surface. Powderhorn hill in Chelsea is said to have been bought from tho h. dians for a hornful of powder.
 The fact of misfortune to divers un. known persons-whether trivial or great does not appear-fnds 8 record i'll Bad Luck brook and swamp i'll Rehoboth, Bad Luck mountain in Granville and Bad Luck pond in Douglas. There may be some association between Burncoat brook and pond in Leicester and Spencer and Burnshirt river. likewise in Worces- ter county.
 Drinkwater river is felioitous name for stream of good water. 1t is in Hanover, and possibly there may have been family of that name in the neigh. borhood. Strong Water brook in Tewks. bury has quite different associations. Sought For pond, in Westferd, suggests long and baffled quest for the spot through the wilderness in the older days. One of the least euphonious ot names is Skug river in Essex and Mid dlesex counties. It is worthy place mong such English names as Worm. wood Scrubs, a park in London.
 The legend about the names of the group of islands on the south coast pre- sents an instance of how faneied resem. blanees give rise to stories. It is related that these islands once belonged to a man with four daughters. To Nancy, the oldest, the father gave the first choice, and the fact that Nan took it is recorded in the name of Nantucket, the island she selected. Nantucket, of course, is ill reality an Indian name. Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth islands went to Martha and Elizabeth, respectively, while for the fourth daugh- ter, whose name has been lost to mem- ory, there was nothing left but the most remote and undesirable of the group, which was called No Man's Land, be- cause it's owner was q woman. The Elizabeth islands, ill fact, were named for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew Gosnold, their discoverer, whose name has been given to tEe town that rom- prises them. Boston Transerint

Divided Skirts.

No girl who has faced tho wind in a divided bicycle skirt on frosty day will return to the old open, Tapping skirt that impedes her movements as it chills her knees The divided skirt has the "yeas" by great majority, and she will cast about to see how she oan make the prettiest divided skirt she knows how There are divided skirts and divided skirts, you know, and there is wide difference in kind.
 A new bicycle costume is made of heavy Scotch eheviot in a small, irregu- lar brown and tan check. The skirt is 6 well hanging divided skirt, reaching to tho shoe tops, with two broad box plaits at the back and front that are so full that one never suspects the dividing line at all.
 The jacket is short, snug garment. cut in an irregular way ct the front to show quite an expanse of tho brown Hn- en blouse front. A broad white braid follows the edge of the jacket, and ct the back seam of the sleeve the braiding is quite elaborate.
 A dark brown suede belt and a soft white berretta complete this outing toi- let The black berretta is worn also, and on very cold days chamois jacket is slipped on underneath the bicycle suit. New York Commercial.

Overheated Rooms.

AS to keeping warm when sitting still within doors, it is far better to be warm ly clad than to rely on an overhot room. The general temperature ought not to rise above 70 degrees for people iil good health Of course, in the case of invelids, the quicksilver may reach @ higher point, according to the directions of the doctor, but the habit of coddling oneself in an overheated atmosphere ex- poses one to risk when encountering the sudden change of stairoases and pas sages, and colds are caught in this way, unacoountably as some persons thing, sinee they haye not been out of doors. The precautions which are taken in the shape of extra clothing when the outer air has to be faced arc overlooked, and consequently there is more danger often times in passing from one room to an other, or going up and down stairs, than in going out of doors.
 Equally unwiso, on the other hand, is it to sit in drafty apartment The ventilation necessary to maintain the atmosphere at a pleasant and healthy point should Do attained by some of the many oontrivaDces by which the requi- site change of air may be secured imper ceptibly; but, as 0 rule, our open fire places provide sufficiently for all or dinary rooms and under ordinary cir oumstances Windows pasted up at the sashes with thick paper, doors listed or made to shut tight by weather strips nailed round the edges, cannot reckless, ly be indulged in. Screens or curtains offer q wiser means of excluding drafts, as, without stopping the ventilation, they protect the occupants of the room from tho effects of 8 direct inroad of wind.
 What is applicable to sitting rooms Ill these respects is equally so to bedcham- bers, and it is bad plan not to main, tain the latter at A reasonable warmth We are not among those who hold Q bedroom fire to be unhealthy. Of course it cannot always be induIged in for many reasons, but that Is no argument against it's wisdom. The principles guld- ing us in the matter of ventilation and warming down stairs ought to be re. membered when we retire to rest, and if a bedroom is cold one, compensation must be found in extra clothing, though this does not secure delicate people from the exposure incidental to undressing III and breathing cold air. Bodily heat must be kept up during sleep, for there is nothing more dangerous or uncomfor- table than to wake feeling cold.

Courier des Etats Unis Says Germany Is
 Now Ahead of France.
 Since the law passed by the reichstag on the 29th of June, 1896, Germany has taken great stride in advance of France in the matter of military organ ization.
 Our entire effective force in infantry amounts to 324, 400 men, while that of Germany foots up 364. 1900, giving the Germans numerical superiority of 40,- 900 foot soldiers.
 On our side of tho Vosges the perma- nent garrisons are guarded by 3, 427 companies, forming 585 battalions. On the other side of the frontier they num- Der 3, 49e companies and 625 battalions, majority over France of 40 battalions.
 The expenses present Q considerable difference between the two countries i, The pay of the French infantry officers, according to the war budget, is nearly $43, 900, 900, but that of the officers of the German infantry is not less than s48, 900, GOO.
 In time of peace our soldiers are kept on two meals day, costing $52, 900, 900, while the soldiers on the other side of the Rhine are kept and fed on one meal day by means of an appropriation of $60, 900, GOO.
 Does not this comparison justify the law creating fourth battalion in each one of the 145 army corps regiments named?
 It is believed that the appropriation which will be asked for on the opening of the session of the chamber wall bo fol 30 additional battalions for 1897.

4 Chicago Experiment.

Tho new training school for domestic service in Chicago will be watched with interest because it claims to be founded "upon wisdom gathered from past errors and failures of like efforts. ' The insti- tuition is incorporated under state laws, with house provided with ample grounds for it's extension if warranted by the success of the venture. The first class consists of 25 young women, who have the best of references for faithful ness in performing their duties. The instruction given will be not only in cookery, but iu ell branches that have to do with economy, comfort, health and the proper maintenance of house. The most improved methods will be taught. The pupils are received free q charge; also without compensation from the school for the first six months. Aft or this probation $9 q week will be given to each pupil until she graduates, which will be at the end of two years. At the end of that time diploma and the sum of $100 will be given, Special courses of instruction will also be given to those who desire to fit themselves for one branch of work only, but only after the preliminary six months training requir- cd as basis for any kind of service

FOUR CHURCHES SOLD.
Ishpeming (STich.) Churches Neglected to
 Pay Taxes.


 Ishpeming, Mich, has furnished the spectacle, probably unprecedented in this country, of churches being sold for delinquent taxes. Four have thus been disposed of, and numerous others un. doubtedly will be.
 The four sold are the Methodist. Presbyterian, English Baptist and Epis- oopal Those that are ill danger of Q similar fate include representatives of nearly every denomination there. The churches are not taxed for city, state, county or school taxes, but special levy for the building of new sewers was made several years ago. and all the property benefited was assessed regard less of the uses to which it was put.
 It was generally understood at the time that church taxes would be re- mitted, but such action was never taken. The four were knocked down for u song to a t0x title dealer. The time for redemption has expired in the cases of the four churches referred to, and it rests with the purchasers to say whether the ediaoes shall be redeemed at nomi- nal figures.

Keeping Summer Butter.

In reply to an article on the ovei
production of the dairy industry, a
Minnesota paper says that in 1850 the
United States contained a population
Of twenty-three million people, and
there were 6.3s5.09 cows. and in 1880
with a population in this country OF
fifty million souls, there were only
IL, AZ, 120 cows, and even In 1896. with
a population Of over seventy millions
OF people. the number of cows were
less than fifteen million, which shows
how much faster our population in
creases than are the dairy interests,
besides in 1850 only twenty people out
of every hundred of our population
lived in towns and cities, while now
the figure is twice that, and this fact
largely increases the demand for dairy
products. There is q strip Of country
extending from the Atlantic ocean to
the Rocky Mountains, within which is
made nearly all we know as dairy
products. 1t takes in the states OF
Iowa, Illinois. Wisconsin. Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Dakota and New
York. Outside Of this strip Of terri
tory it seems to be impossible to pro-
duce either butter or cheese at profit

Advice to Horse Owners.

Suppose that your horse has fallen
lame; don't Immediately resort to your
favorite liniment, says a writer in
American Horse Owner. 1t is cardi-
nal rule to first have the shoe removed
and the foot examined. Numberless
mistakes have been made by neglect
ing to observe this rule. The writer
has known many cases of foot lame
ness in which the horse has been
treated for foot lameness in the shoul-
der, the tendons at back Of leg, 1.-The
back sinews." the pastern, the fetlock.
the coffin joint, in fact. every conceiv-
able place but the right one. Pain in
the foot will often cause a sympathetic
swelling in the leg, which may be easily
mistaken for the seat of trouble. Until
the shoe can be removed. keep the foot
as moist as possible by means of water
or stopping with clay or COW dung.
This. besides allaying possible inflam-
matory processes, will facilitate exam
ination Of the foot by softening Of the
horn. A mere cursory examination OF
the hOof when the shoe is removed will
not do. 1t must be thorough examl-
nation by thinning the whole Of the
sole. Corns. pricks and bruises Of the
sole are usually amenable to treatment
by poultices and lamentations. OF
course the smith will, CT should, take
the very greatest care when thinning
down the sole, not to cut entirely
through the horn and SO let the flesh
out, for this would probably consider
ably complicate matters. and possibly
prove worse than the original trouble.
II the animal does not speedily show
signs of improvement after 4S hours
treatment, professional advice should
be had.
