could be sent abroad through the mails.
So he was taken over to the postoffice
and the state Of affairs was laid before

reported as follows:
II nm very glad, said he, "that you
asked that question. Its answer shows
curious state of affairs. In this coun.
try you can send candy up to 4 pounds
as merchandise for cent for each
ounce. IL you want to send candy
abroad you only have to pay 1 cent fol
every ounces, but you can only send
~ ounces in each package. If it weighs
more than 12 ounces you have to pay
letter rates, or 10 cents an ounce for the
whole thing.
"That is to say, you can send 1C
ounces to London for cents, but il
would cost you 10 cents to send it tc
Brooklyn. So il you are thinking OF
sending q pound it will cost you 81. 60.

PLACE NAMES.
eome Odd and Curious Names Of Places
In Massachusetts,.

In the Middlesex fells some good old
colonial names are preserved, like jim
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 the In
dians for hornful of powder.
The fact Of misfortune to divers un.
known persons-whether trivial or great
does not appear-finds a record in Bad
Luck brook and swamp in 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 felicitous name
for q 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 quito different associations.
Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests
q long and bafiled quest for the spot
through the wilderness in the olden
days. One of the least euphonious of
names is Skug river in Essex and Mid
dlesex counties. 1t is worthy q place
among such English names as Worm
wood Scrubs, park in London.
The legend about the names of the
group of islands on the south coast pre-
sents IN instance of how fancied resem-
blances give rise to stories. 1t 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 in 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
CRY, there was nothing left but the most
remote and undesirable Of the group.
which was called No Mans Land, be-
cause its owner was a woman. The
Elizabeth islands, in fact, were named
for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew

has been given to the town that com.
