Origin OF The Months Names,

January was named after the
Roman god, Janus; the deity with two
faces, one looking into the past and
the other gazing forward to the future,
writes Clifford Howard, in the June
Ladies' Home Journal. February
comes from the Latin word februo, to
purify. 1t was customary for the
Romans to observe festivals of purif.
cation during that month. March
owes its name to the God of War.
Among the Saxons this month was
known as Lenct, meaning spring and
this is the origin of our word Lent
April was named from the Latin aper-
10, to open. in Specification of the
opening Of flowers. The Saxons call
ed the month Eastre, in honor of thei,
Goddess OF Spring, from which comes
our word Easter. May was named
after the Roman goddess Maia, aud
June was so-called in honor of Juno
July was named in honor of Julius
Caesar, and August gets its name from
Augustus Caesar. September is from
Tue Latin septem, seven, this being the
seventh month according TO the old
Roman calendar. October, November,
and December also retain the names
by which they were known under the
old calendar, when there were but ten
months IN the year-octo, novem and
deem meaning eight, nine and ten

Methodists More Moderate.

CHICAGO, May 28.-The criticism OF
President Mckinley for his attitude in
regard to Attorney General Griggs' in
depreciation of the antl-canteen law
was overwhelmingly voted down by
the Methodist general conference to-
day, after two hours of warm debate.
The matter was brought up by the
presentation Of the report of the COM
mittee on temperance, OF which Sam
uel Dickey, candidate for president on
the prohibition ticket in 1892, is chair
man.
The majority report arraigned the
chief maglst: ate severely. The confer
ence finally adopted the minority re-
port, which excluded the report re-
ferring to The chief magistrate, but
which, however called upon him to
use his influence to secure the passage
Of the new anti-canteen law now pend
ing before congress.

THE VERMONT LESSON.

One extremely satisfactory conclusion
is to be drawn from the Vermont cleo
tion returns. The paramount issue"
as the Democrats term their opposition
to what in the divided sentiment Of
their party passes for imperialism
should attract votes in Vermont if ii has
strength anywhere. 1t is grazing and
agricultural State which has no com
mercial connections with the Pacific
Coast, and therefore no expectations Of
special benefits from c,.l,au> .on. TAe

jamin Fitzhew," the man who finds it
pleasanter to tell his wife fairy stories
about trip to Mexico than to confess
the CHASTITY truth that he had to serve
term in prison on account of farci-
cal combination of naughtiness. Mrs
Fitzhew comes to the prison to distri.
butte flowers among the poor dear con
victs, but the danger passes for the time
Later, when the picturesque Fitzhew re
turns in a Mexican costume and fully
equipped as he believes with plausible
lies, the climax comes. Mrs. Fitzhew
is a bit too clever, and the husband:
friend, Majors, is too enthusiastic in the
ex-conyicts behalf. However, confes
sion is quickly followed by forgiveness
and nobody is allowed a really baC

Nearing Their Finish.

The shirt-waist man and net-waist girl
Have caused lot of talk,
And strict propriety from them
Has oft received shock.
We've heard so much about this pair,
And what they say and do,
That we are yearning for tho time
When they'll drop out of view.
There's nothing new about the chap
Who's called the shirt-waist man,
For long before the chappie came
We had the shirt sleeve plan.
The style was set by brawny men
Who piled the pick and spade,
But modestly they kept their place
And social rules obeyed.
The net-waist girl is different
So far as newness goes,
For to the limit she has gone
In making an expose.
And as the fad provided means
For generous displays
Still broarder grew the pink eXpanse
Revealed to public gaze.
In vain some parsons here and there
| This fashion new decried;
/ In vain some mntrons snooli their heads
Aud sharp rebukes applied.
| Thu net-waist girl would not be swerved,
Though savage was attack.
| And by and by the net of white
Was changed to net of black.
The shirt-waist man and nct-waist girl
Still TO their customs cling,
And still objectors to these styles
Demand more covering:
But sly Jack Frost will soon be here
With stock of hrnczcs keen.
And shirt-wast men and net-waist girls
viii then no more be seen.
