Unchristian Names.

1t is curious how inconsistent are the
pre5udiceS of people in regard To the
use of heathen names. Mr. Payn. in
his CLEANS 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 it was ''Vanus." "VanuS:" repeat
ed the dean. Il suppose you mean
Venus. Do you imagine ] am going to
call a Christian child by that na~-s-
and least of all a male child?''
The father of the infant urged that
he only wished to name it after his
grandfather Your grandfather.r'
cried the dean. Il don't believe it.
Where is your grandfather" He was
produced: a poor old soul of eighty or
so. bent double, and certainly not look
ing in the least like the goddess in
question. DO you mean to tell me.

1t was inevitable that the great pow
er which for countless ages went to
waste over the mighty falls of the Nj
agara River should sooner or later be
harnessed and utilized for the purposes
of man. But it would surely have been
much later had it not been for the in
domitable courage of one young man,
Mr.. William B. Rankine. He did not
originate the scheme which has been
successfully carried out; but he carried
it through in the face of difficulties and
discouragements that would have baf-
fled ninety-nine men out of hundred.
The engineering and mechanical diff
culties were tremendous, and to over
come them the greatest practical scien-
fists in the world were consulted. But
the financial difficulties seemed quite
insurmountable The undertaking was
so gigantic and the sum required SO
great that the boldeSt financiers turn
ed away. But Mr.. Rankine would not
be denied With an unfaltering faith
in the feasibility Of the scheme he met
each new Encouragement with the Sc
renity of a strong nature, and at last
achieved one of the greatest business
successes of the age. Mr.. Rankine is a
lawyer by profession, and not yet 40.

That gentle. succulent bivalve, the
oyster has furnished many a text for
lay sermons in the past. and one would
think the subject had been exhausted
but an event which took place recently
at Jacksonville, Ohio, recently calls for
further mention. At this little village
a well-known physician was quietly
eating his evening meal, which began
with a plateful Of raw oysters. DR..
Louis is in the habit of biting his oys-
ters in two as he eats them, and in do
ing so, on the third tasty mouthful. he
came down with four teeth at least
upon a round. hard substance, which,
on investigation, proved to be a pearl
1t not only proved to be this, but, as it
was discovered in that portion of the
oysters anatomy known as the Stom-
ach. and as it had not been ruined by
the heat of cooking the monetary value
of the find was placed by an expert at
$500. This is encouraging. For long
time psychologists, those disagreeable
people who go about sizing up the num-
ber of germ of bacilli in ones compost
ton and telling about it, have asserted
all sorts of horrible things about the
oyster, such as the fact that the ordin-
ary restaurant brand contains between
$4,000 and SSS,O0O germs to the oyster,
and when man takes plate of half
a dozen he must masticate somewhere
between 264 900 and over 100000 of
bacilli-but all this will end now If
man can be reasonably sure of finding
$500 pearl in raw oyster. in the in
terror Of the State of Ohio. he will
brave even that multitude of fierce ami
malculae. and crunch their bones with
joy. Germs-what are they when ev-
cry ten million may bring two big
pearls or more? Why, such prospect
tempts one to go into oyster-eating for
a living!

a woman took lodging at an English

and he requested her to move 1t does

absence one day, locked the door and

for damages, holding that she came to
the hotel as traveller, and as such was
she had ceased to be a traveller by her
long stay, and it denied her claim. The
London newspapers uphold this deci-
sion, the Daily News saying: 1T would

rule devised in favor Of wayfarers, and
