The Modern Babel.

Professor Mahaffy, in The Nineteenth
Century, explains how French might
have been the international medium OF
language, but how commerce in GER
tain way has changed all this:
If the old French monarchy and aris-
tooracy had not been swept away by
the terrible revolution, if France had
not ruined her primacy in courtliness
and had not for time become the
dread and the horror of all Europe, 1T is
quite possible that French might have
become the exclusive International me-
dunn. But the mercantile preponder-
ance of England and the national an
tagonism of Germany raised up rivals
10 her supremacy. And since the asser-
ton Of nationality was identified with
the speaking of special language all
hope of any agreement has disappeared.
When / was young, it was fairly as
sumed that working knowledge OF
English, French and German would
open to the student all the stores OF Eu-
ropean learning. Nothing can now be
further from the truth. Not only are
there scientific and literary works OF in
ternational Importance exclude mere
poetry and small talk-in Italian and
Greek, and far more in Dutch, but there
are mines of knowledge only to be
reached by acquiring Russian and Hun
garian. l am told that the geological
and geological observations over the
huge area of Asiatic Russia are now
published in Russian transactions. l
know that the most interesting reports
on Hungarian social and political ques-
tions are now in Hungarian yellow

PLACE NAM ES.
Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
In Massachusetts.

Some 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
dams for hornful of powder.
The fact Of misfortune to divers un-
known persons-whether trivial or great
does not appear-fnds 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 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 quite different associations.
Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests
long and baff1ed 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 place
am ong 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 All instance Of how fancied resem'
blances give rise to stories. 1t is related
that these islands once belonged to 6
man with four daughters. TO Nancy
the Oldest, the father gave the frs
choice, and the fact that Nan took it
is recorded in the name of Nantucket
the island she selected. Nantucket, o.
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
ory, there was nothing left but the mos
| remote and undesirable of the group
which was called No Mans Land, be
cause its owner was woman. Tn

for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew

Mailing Candy Abroad.

A young man who apparently knows
a girl in London came into the office the
other day and asked whether candy
could be sent abroad through the mails.
So he was taken over to the postoffice
and the state of affairs was laid before
an official, who instigated an investiga'
ton. After long time hereturned and
reported as follows:
81 am very glad, said he, THAT you
asked that question. Its answer shows
a curious state of affairs. In this coun-
try you can send candy up to 4 pounds
as merchandise for / cent for each
ounce If you want to send candy
abroad you only have to pay cent for
every 2 ounces, but you can only send
10 ounces in each package. II it weighs
more than IL ounces you have to pay
letter rates, or 10 cents an ounce for the
whole thing.
"That is to say, you can send III
ounces to London for 8 cents. but 1t
would cost you 10 cents to send it to
Brooklyn. So if you are thinking OF
sending pound it will cost you $l.6O.
The stamp department is right over
there"
"Thank you very much, said the
young man. 81 just happen to remem-
Der that the doctor has forbidden the
girl to eat candy. New York Mail

Inns In Hungary.

wayside inns in Hungary generally
rejoice in very quaint titles. This one
was called the Dropperin, and had the
usual sign outside-viz, long pole'
with wooden ring and a gigantic wine
bottle suspended from it. The system OF
keeping the scores is primitive, but
practical. The regular customers and
the innkeeper each have a bit OF wood
called rovas, with the name OF the
person written on it, and every liter OF
wine consumed is marked by each max
ing q notch ON his respective bit OF
wood. When the score is paid of, both
the rovas are burned. Consequently you
hear the peasants inviting each other to
ngyonroviasmora, literally, drink ON
my "knotch stick which sounds most
comical. III. Ellen Browning in "Wan-
behring's In Hungary.

The Plausible Lie.

We resent calumny, hypocrisy ana
treachery because they harm us, not be-
cause they are untrue. Take the detrac'
ton and the mischief from the untruth'
and we are little offended by 1T. Turn
it into praise, and we may be pleased
with it. And yet it is not calumny and
treachery that do the largest sum OF
mischief in the world. They are contin-
ually crushed and are felt only in being
conquered. But it is the glistening ana
softly spoken lie, the amiable failacy,
the patriotic lie of the historian, the
provident lie of the politician, the zeal
Gus lie of the partisan, the merciiui lie
of the friend and the careless lie OF each
man to himself that cast that black
mystery over humanity through whlch
we thank any man who pierces, as we
would thank one who dug well IN q
desert. Happy that the thirst for truth
remains with us, even when we nave
willfully left the fountains OF it.-John

Artificial Ice Making.

Notwithstanding that artificial 70.
frigeration has so largely taken the
place Of ice. it is often desirable, even
in small plants, to make some ice for
table and other purposes. In hotels
and restaurants this is particularly true,
and nothing but the poor results that
have been obtained in the past has pre-
vented this from being done more extern
sively.
The old method was to put common
filtered hydrant water into cans and
freeze it into white, unattraotive ice.
useful only for cooling purposes, and
hardly suitable for the table. Distilling
and purifying apparatus is found neces-
sary to make acceptable ice by this proc
ess, and the manifold duties of the OPP
Grating engineer usually prevent the
giving of proper care and attention to
the various purifying devices, with the
result that the quality of the product is
quite inferior.
There is now developed, however, a
practical method of making ice in large
or small quantities on the "plate sys-
tem," freezing outwardly from the re-
frigerating coils, excluding impurities
into the residual water, circulating this
water by means of circulating pump
through filters to remove air and i'm.
purities, giving clean, pure crystal ice
from water of almost any reasonably
good quality. The ice is then harvested
by steam cutter, which pushes its
square nose down in the tank and cuts
off slab of ice whenever required. A
tank of this character, added to re-
frigerating plant, is most useful and
profitable adjunct, especially consider
ing that the high quality of the product
is chiefly a function of the method
rather than the skill of operation. w.

Max Muller's Father.

My father belonged to the post Goethe
period, though Goethe (died 1887 sur
vived him. He was born in 1874, and
died in 1927, and yet in that short life
he established lasting reputation not
only as q scholar, but as most popu-
lar poet. His best known poems are the
"Griechenlieder, the Greek songs
which he wrote during the Greek war
of independence. These Greek songs, in
which his love Of the ancient Greeks is
mingled with his admiration for heroes
such as Kanaris, Marcos Bozzaris and
others who helped to shake OF the
Turkish yoke, produced deep impress
sion all over Germany, perhaps because
they breathed the spirit of freedom and
patriotism, which was then systematic
ally depressed in Germany itself. The
Greeks never forgot the services render
ed by him in Germany, as by Lord By
ron in England, in rousing feeling OF
indignation against the Turk, and as
the marble for Lord Byron's monument
in London was sent by some Greek adj
mirers of the great poet, the Greek par
lament voted shipload OF Pentelican
marble for the national monument erect
ed to my father in Dessau. His lyrical
poems also are well known all over Ger
many, particularly the cycles of the
"Schone Mullerin" and the winter
reise," both so marvelously set to mu-
sic by Schubert and others. He certain
" had caught the true tone of the poet
ry of the German people, and many OF
his poems have become national proper
ty, being sung by thousands who do not
know whose poems they are singing

THE DOCTORS STORY.
An Experience That Followed q Cali at
Night.

N1gnt.
Four or five physicians were talking
up town the other evening at the home
Of one, and the conversation later turned
to shop. One of them had recently
moved his Office down town, and there
was some discussion as to the advisable
ity Of separating house and Office.
"Well," said the separatist, 81 can't
see any difference so long as l am at
my Office during Office hours"
"Let me tell you story" remarked
the Oldest man IN the party. Thirty
years ago, when began practice, lived
in Virginia, and for year or two I
slept in my Office. Then married, and
my wife owned a nice house, and went
to il to live. 1t sat back from the street
about so feet, and we decided that it
would be much nicer if we had my office
out on the street in the far corner of the
lot. Only 80 feet away, you will OBJ
serve. but still il was enough. In order
to see such callers rs came during the
night had a night bell and a speaking
tube connecting the front door Of the
Office with my bedroom. You see, did
not want patient to escape under any
circumstances.
"Well, everything went nicely enough
for three years or so, when one night "a
ring came to my bell. 1t was then about
Q O'Clock in the morning, and the ring
was hot one. asked who it was, and
the answer came from friend of mine
to the effect that he was a mighty sick
man and wanted to see me at once. /

and l would meet him at the door and
take care of him. Then got up, and.
putting on my dressing gown and slip

there was no one there and no one in
sight on the way between the gate and
the house.
"That was odd, and l went back and

being quite unable to account for it,

Uses OF Aluminium.

1t is claimed that aluminium plates
are destined to become the universal

been tried besides aluminium, says The
Aluminium World, to replace the cum
bersome photographic stone, zinc is the
only metal which has given any salts

could not be depended upon. To insure
good work the zinc plates must be alb
solutely pure, and even then many col
ors cannot be printed from zinc with
safety. Aluminium has been proved to
be as good as stone. The metal APP
