WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Juliet, in her moonlight talk with Ro-
meo, said:
That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
AS a plain olfactory and botanical fact
this statement cannot be gainsaid, but
from the inference usually drawn from 1t
we dissent. If there is nothing in a name,
why does Samuel L. Clemens publish his
books under the pseudonym of Mark
Twain? Why did Martin Luther's three
friends-Kuhhorn, Gheraerd and Schwar-
zerde-translate their harsh patronymics
into the more meliiflous Bucer, Erasmus
and MelanchthOn? Why did John H !pple,
of Pennsylvania, become Senator John
w. Mitchell in Oregon? Why did Con
gresham Levi, of Florida, transmogrify
himself into Senator Yulee? If our eX-
minister to France We're addressed as
Jacob W. Reid, there would be sort of
nervous chill through all the departments
of the New York Tribune, and yet he
was not christened Whitelaw, but Jacob
w Reid. No, we very reluctantly differ
with sweet Juliet. There's a vast deal
in name. For instance, nc man nam i

HOW TO KEEP BREAD.

Bread can always be kept fairly fresh
in a closed tin box, provided the latter
be kept clean and sweet; but another
good way to keep it in summer is to
sprinkle the loaf with flour and tie it in
a paper bag, which should then be hung
on hook in a cool pantry. When the
bread is required for use the flour
should be brushed off, and the loaf rub
bed with a cloth wrung out in clean
cold water, then, if placed in oven five
minutes or so it will be as good as when
first baked
