Origin of Names.

Where community persisted in calling
a man Black, it was useless for him to try
to call himself White-he had to acquiesce
in the choice of the majority, says writer
in Good Words This class Is the most
difficult of all to do justice to in the short
space of paper. Indeed the bases of nick
names are SO numerous that 1t Is almost
impossible To classify them-physical pc
culiarities, complimentary, as Strength
arm, and derogatory, rs Spindleshanks,
Sheepshanks, Crookshanks Heavisides,
etc. ; mental attributes as Grave, Stern,
Wise, Sage, Moody, Proud, Courteous
(Curteis), on one hand, and on the other
Blythe, Gay, Foolhardy, Jolly, Meek, etc.
nicknames from complexion and color of
the hair, as Black, White. Brown and
Browning, Rudy, Readman, Hoare, Grey,
etc. nicknames from peculiarities Of dress,
Curtmantel, Shorthose, etc.; from social
position, as Bastard, Lacklands, and so
on; from the animal and vegetable king
doms, from birds and fishes
Then compounds were made by applying
a sobriquet to Christian name, as Mickle-
john, Littlejohn, Brownjohn; If he was a
comely, well made fellow he was Proper
john. These names appear again In Nor
man guise, as Grosjean, Petijean, Bonjean,
from which comes Bunyan-so that when
we speak Of good John Bunyan we are
(perhaps unconsciously) only transposing
the name OF 1.-THE inspired tinker"

little. He looks bored to death. / will
introduce him, and you must try to amuse
him. You know his strong point is but
ter on which he has written book"
The lady guest graciously undertook the
task of entertaining the man, inwardly
wondering that he should be so interested
in butter-of which she knew very little
when his face indicated mind given to
much profound thinking
However, with butter in view, she began
on the weather, gradually got to the coun-
try, then on to farm, from that to cows
and at last to butter. The man looked
more bored than ever, the magic word but
ter producing not the slightest effect and
he left her somewhat abruptly and soon
withdrew from the house.
Il did my best, she explained to the
hostess. Invent through agonies to prove
that i was deeply interested in butter, but
it was all in vain.
"Butter" exclaimed the hostess. what

how deeply you two were interested in the
same subject.

Or. JASPER ON THE SUN.
His Famous Sermon Shows That the Orb
Really Moves.

Among the show places OF the city OF
Richmond the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist
church, with its pastor, the Rev. John
Jasper is not regarded in the same rank
as the capitol or the site of Libby prison.
But he ought TO be- for he is the author OF
/ that famous sermon on the sun called
1.-The Sun DO Move"
! DR. Jasper is proud of his sermon and
loves TO dilate on the various times and
places in which he has delivered his unique
argument 1t was first heard In his own
church, and then by request in the Market
house before vast gathering After that,
under the direction of Lyceum bureau,
which paid him 500 month and all his
travelling expenses, he delivered IL in Bal
timore, Washington, Philadelphia, Cam
den, Pittsburg and many other places,
convincing many deep thinkers of the fall
lacies of the now generally accepted theory
of the solar system
The doctor lives in a little room near
his church in which he welcomes visitors
with much cordiality. His masterpiece is
an attack on the doctrines of Mr.. Copper
nicus, who, he says, "claims that the earth
revolves on axles" Mr.. Isaac Newton
and Mr.. Herschel and other scientists of
that caliber. He is not at all sure of
where these eminent philosophers reside
at present, but he has a vague idea that it
is "up north somewhere.
The text for the sermon DR.. Jasper finds
in Exodus 1t is 1.-THE Lord Is a man of
war; the Lord is his name" 1t is long
way from this to a philosophical portion
of his argument. This he establishes by
quoting from Revelation the verse which
relates TO the spectacle of four angels
standing on the four corners of the earth
holding the four winds Through this he
points out that the earth is square and not
round, according to the general belief
which has existed for some years.
OF the fact that the sun really does move
he brings the Scriptures again to bear
witness, notably in the psalm beginning
From the rising Of the sum-" But in
Joshua's command to the sun. to stand still
DR.. Jasper finds his greatest argument and
his peroration. The eighth verse Of the
thirty eighth chapter of Isaiah and the
twelfth and thirteenth verses and the
tenth chapter of Joshua end the sermon
thus
Behold, l will bring again the shadow
of the degrees, which is gone down in the
sundial of AhaZ 10 degrees backward. So
the sun returned 10 degrees, by which de-
grees it was gone down."
THUS spake Joshua to the Lord in the
day when the Lord delivered up the Amo
rites before the children of Israel, and he
said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou
still upon Gideon, and thou. moon, in the
valley of Ajalon
And the sun stood still, and the moon
stayed until the people had avenged them
selves upon their enemies. New York

THE EXTRAORDINARY MAN.
He 1t Is Who Does the Right Thing nj
the Right Moment.

IL is the extraordinary man who makes
life bearable. The ordinary man is so con-
stantly under restraint that everything he
does Is commonplace and embarrassing.
To illustrate this point am going TO give
an exact report of what happened on a
Broadway car one day last week. A burly
man got up TO get of the car. In walking
from the front end 10 the back he skillful-
ly and impartially stepped on every foot
that was in evidence. Every one on both
sides of the car grabbed his toes and
glared after the brute, but no one did any
thing. Just as the fellow reached the back
step he carefully threw his full weight on
both the feet of an athletic looking gen.
tleman who was standing on the platform
reading the paper. A moment later he
landed near the sidewalk as the result of "a
venomous and correctly applied kick that
increased his velocity 10 an unexpected ex-
tent Rushing buck to the car he yelled:
Say, mister, what do you mean by
kicking me like thaty"
did l kick your" inquired the man
who was reading the paper suavely.
You know blankety blank well that
you did D"
"Well " drawled the man with the pa
per, when a man steps on one of my feet
it doesn't make any particular difference
but somehow when he steps on both of
my feet it has very peculiar effect on the
flexor muscles of my legs, and act in an
automatic way / have general impress
sion that you stepped on both of my feet,
and that that is what caused the whole
trouble. In future, when you happen TO
be getting off the car am on, if you will
be kind enough to step on only one foot
there will be no danger of such an acct
dent as this"
Just thee the conductor rang the bell
and the car started. Within the next five
minutes every sore toed person on the car
got up and shook hands with the gentle
man who was reading the paper. He did
exactly what they all felt like doing, but
they were all too ordinary to do it. He
was the extraordinary man.-New York

Early Man.

"Was early man savage?' asks sci
entific friend We were not on such ia
miliar terms with the early man that was
as would enable us to give details of his pri-
vate life, but if our friend will alter the
verb and ask about the early man that u.s.
we think the following reply will satisfy
him:
1t depends upon circumstances. Two
winters ago we had an experience of the
early man that will last us for years. He
was early because he had to catch train
He lighted a candle-the gas was turned
off at the meter-and proceeded to dress
He got on fairly well (merely taking off q
little skin here and there, shooting all the
things out of his pockets in his endeavors
to get his clothes right side up and CASH
ing himself with the razor through using
cold watcr) until he tried to button his
collar. Then the trouble began.
He had cut his nails overnight. He
turned and writhed as he used one thumb
and then the other, he cast his eyes up at
the ceiling, hung out his tongue, jumped
about and made faces and remarks, but
that hole would not go round the stud.
He had rest, wiped away the perspiration
and started again very deliberately, but
without result. Then he tried the button
hook, but he only succeeded in clawing
out piece of flesh and losing the stud on
the floor under the bed.
Then he made more remarks. This
aroused his wife, who. proceeded to show
him the superiority of woman in the great
enterprises of this life. In exactly two
minutes she had found that stud, buttoned
his collar, arranged his necktie, told him
to make haste and called him an idiot.
After that our early man was too savage
for anything. Pearson S Weekly.

A BIT of Medical Advice.

When the humping sensation begins in
the head, take equal quantities of pure
cayenne pepper and flour; mix them up
with water to form smooth paste thick
enough to spread like a salve. Put this
upon piece of soft paper and apply it to
the back of the neck just below the edge
of the hair. In warm weather it is best to
wash the neck with a cloth wet with soap
and water, as the oily Precipitation may
interfere with the action of the plaster
One great advantage of cayenne pepper
plaster over mustard Is that while the lat
ter frequently blisters the former never
does so, no matter how strong it is APP
piled. In the use of mustard, If the skin
Is broken, all treatment must cease until
1t heals, but with pepper when the plaster
loses its effect another may be applied
without unpleasant consequences. tx

PARTISAN ART FURNITURE.
Imitation Boulle and vernis Martin Pieces
Popular Nowadays.


Partisan art furniture is popular and no
well furnished apartment is without its
piece of Boulle or Vernis Martin. AS a
matter of fact, the genuine articles do not
find their way into the shops and if they
did would be far beyond the purse of most
buyers.
Andre Charles Boulle, from whom the
furniture obtains its name was born in
the royal palace in 1912 and spent his
childhood in the court of Louis XIV, who
was his patron. His most elaborate
achievement was the decoration of series
of apartments for the dauphin, Louis XIV.
Samuel Bernard, the flnancier, paid Boulle
$4,000 livres for making an inlaid desk.
Despite the high prices which his work
brought Boulle was always poor, for he
was an enthusiastic collector of bric-a- brac
and could not resist the temptation to ac-
quire a fine specimen. At one time he
was threatened with imprisonment for
debt, but the king protected him. On
Aug. 20, 1920, his rooms and workshop
were burned and 400, 900 livres' worth of
the rarest art treasures were consumed
The artist never recovered from the shock
He died in 1882, leaving four sons to sue
coed him, in all of whom, however the
peculiar genius of the father was lacking
The Martins, from whom the popular
Vernis Martin furniture takes it's name
were painters of more than ordinary abili-
ty and varnishers to the royal house of
France. Robert Martin was the supposed
discoverer of a special lacquer, which, for
time, supplanted the precious varnishes
imported from China and Japan. The
Marquis de Pompadour paid 5S, POS francs
for the Vernis Martin work in the cha
teau of Bellerne, a sum now equal to $780,.
