LUCK in a Name.

1t is lucky to be named Hugh Will
liams. In the year 1864, on the 9Th
of December, the Menai an English
ship, capsized at sea, OF the eighty
one passengers on board only one,
Hugh Williams, was saved. Again,
on the 9TH of December, 1856, pleas
ure schooner was wrecked on the Isle
Of Man. Sixty persons were on board,
including a Hugh Williams and fam
lily. Only the one named survived
the wreck. On August 5, 1920, a
picnic party of twenty-five was run
down on the River Thames. Hugh
Williams, little chap of five years,
from Liverpool, was the only one
saved The most singular story of all
remains. In the year 1889, on the
10Th of August, a Leeds coal barge
with nine men aboard, foundered. All
but two were drowned, and these fell
lows were both named Hugh Williams,
an uncle and nephew.

After a careful study of most of the
self-propelled carriages, from the
earliest times to the present day, Sir
David Solomons concludes that steam
is much the most suitable, and advan-
tageous motive power. In England
electric energy for carriages cannot be
calculated at less than eight cents per
horse power hour, and accumulations
must be frequently recharged, with
considerable loss in useless travel un-
less charging stations are to be found
throughout the locality. The cost of
benzine gas would be about a fourth
as great for the same power, steam,
from petroleum fuel at twelve cents
per gallon, costing about the same as
the gas. The Trenton IN. J.) Ameri-
can claims that the best existing motor
the world has yet seen for its power,
method of fuelling, suspension springs,
aid travelling long distances before
recharging is one which is likely to re-

velopment of motor traffic. 1t is known

Many an honest penny is being
turned by farmers or their wives by
taking summer boarders from the city,
notes the American Agriculturist. It
is estimated that the farmers in the
little State Of New Hampshire, for in
stance, receive over a million dollars
each summer from this source. The
amount paid in some other States is
still larger, especially in New York
and Pennsylvania, This estimate does
not include the regular summer resort
business, but only the farmers and
small boarding houses on farms. In
Michigan and Wisconsin this industry
is on the increase among the farmers.
It is business well worth catering to.
The pay is fair, in some cases very
good, and these bOarders furnish a far
more profitable home market for fresh
fruits, vegetables and dairy produce
than to ship such stuff to the almost
always crowded city markets Farm

success in this line are those who not

work of Old BooI1malters.

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duced the Bible in Illuminated manu-
script. The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was it accomplished
in less than thirty-fye years. Guide de
Jars was a producer OF these illumin-
ated manuscripts, and a beautiful
specimen of his work was sold along
with the books of Sir w. Burrell in
1890. This copy Of the Bible occupied
half century in its production A
note in the beginning Of the manu-
script in Jars's handwriting indicates
that he began his task in 1914 and did
not conclude it till 1894.

called pack.mules. The riders were
young men, carefully selected for
their bravery, fearlessness, and activ-
ity. The animals were changed at
stations about twenty-five miles apart,
so that they were always in good con
dition to run if necessity required it,
which was often the case, as the coun-
try was swarming with Mexicans and
Indians.
Benteen, a brave young Irishman
with Indian blood in his veins, was
chosen for the road between Camp
v, Arizona, and a town on the
border of New Mexico, and for more
than a year escaped the snares and
treacherous traps that were laid for
him. One cold day in February, 1875,
when a heavy mist not only made
things cheerless and gloomy, but threw
such a veil over the earth that it was
impossible to see any object more than
a few feet away, Benteen started on
his customary long ride. When or
how the Indians surprised him was
never know. His body was found at
the entrance OF Sunset Pass by a squad
of cavalry sent from Camp V, rid
died with bullets and arrows, and near
it lay three dead Indians, showing he
had sold his life dearly. The mule
galloped into Camp v two days
later, and fell exhausted in front of
the barracks, with the mail-bags I'M
touched save by the blood that had
flowed from a bullet-hole in his side.
He was put in a comfortable stall in
the cavalry stables, and owing to the
skill of the veterinary surgeon, in adj
dition to the best of food and care, he
soon grew strong and fit for light work.
During his sickness the soldiers be-
came so attached to him that the Post
Quartermaster made an effort, and sue

One year later had the good for
tune to be ordered East on temporary
duty in Washington. Though 1 had
been in Arizona but six months I was
heartily tired of that desolate country,
and fully determined to let no obstacle
delay me in the trip that was taking
me to my native city. We left Camp
V in an ambulance drawn by -four
mules. Soon after starting 1 found
that one of the leaders was the pack
mule l have mentioned. He had fully
recovered, and had been named Frisky
by the soldiers on account of his exu
berant spirits.
In the ambulance with me was the

was Flaherty. Behind us was an army
