Unchristisu Names,

1t Ia curious how inconsistent a'e the
prejudices Of people In regard to the
use OF heather names. Mr.. Payn, In
his "Gleams of Memory" tells an
amusing story Of the late Dean Bur.
gOn. who objected to the name of the
goddess Of beauty. but found no fault
with that Of the god Of the woods.
An infant was brought to the church
for christening. and the name proposed
for 1t was "Vanus." "Vanus?" repeat
ed the dean. II suppose you mean
Venus. Do you imagine am going to
call a Christian child by that name,
and least Of all male child?"
The father of the infant urged that
he only wished to name It after his
grandfather. "YOur grandfather"
cried the dean. II don't believe II.
Where Is your grandfather" He was
produced; poor old soul Of eighty or
90, bent double. and certainly not look.
Ing In the least like the goddess In
question. do you mean to tell me,
sir. that any clergyman ever christeued
you 'Vanus,' as you call it?"
"Well, no, sir; I was christened Syl.
vanus. but they always called me va.
nus.'"

The last obstacle to the gradual sub.

development Of electric motors have at

OF the roads running out of Chicago
are expected to make this change dur
Ing the present year.
1t will doubtless be but a question of
time when the trip from Chicago to
New York can be made by daylight In
from eight to ten hours. The electrical
