a Method According to Nature

The experiments Of modern ply
:sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health !;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attached. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei obstruction. AS we can do
SO little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system 80 that it may re pei
and resiqt their destructive in-
fuence, and does it not seem VERY
fitting that the revital l;zing ele r ent
should enter the body through
inhalation of OK zen which is at
once a revitalizer and germicide?

the superior of any nation upon
the face of the earth.
Mr.. Chairman, it was the South
that gave to this nation the pen of
the Revolution, in the person of
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the
immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence, that the gentleman from
North Carolina Mr.. Linneyl and
gentlemen upon that side are
attempting by their Administra-
tion policy to-day to trample under
their feet, an effort in which they
will not succeed, because it is an
immortal idea.
1t was the South, Mr.. Chairman,
that gave to this nation the tongue
of the Revolution, in the person
of Patrick Henry, who uttered
those noble words, "Give me
liberty, or give me DEATH" That
spirit to-day animates every son
of the old and of the new South
and will continue to inspire to
hearts of her citizens till the end
of time. [Applause.

being on its side. with one arm under its

The only gorilla which I have had an op-

preferred this attitude, but occasionally
seemed to sleep comfortably in crouch

between it's knees. This latter attitude
appears to be the enc adopted by nearly
all tho lower monkeys.

The time is here when our evenings
must be spent indoors. and our readers,
who are fond of company, will be think
ing of ways to entertain their friends.
Suppose you try an evening Of song.
Send your friends the following invita-
ton:
Mrs. or Miss R invites you to her
home for Tuesday night at g.
She promises you feast of song, nor
will she keep you late
Please to this call make quick reply.
But if you cannot come, tell why.
And won't you kindly take the time
To write your answer out in rhyme?
Among your friends are those who can
sing and play or recite. Ask those who
YOU know will do well to help in your
evenings program They will be delight
ed, no doubt, to be called upon.
Should you have a friend from dis
lance visiting you, who plays and sings
nicely, that will be a treat for your
guests.
The replies to your invitation should
be read by the host or hostess, which
will afford much amusement.
Light refreshments served after the
programme will add greatly to what will
be a pleasant evening.

also personal qualities originated names
without limit, as Black, White, Strong,
Stark, Lang or Long, Short, Great

surnames.
A long list Of surnames were also de-
rived from the signs borne by inns and
shops Thus John at the Bell became
John Bell Matthey of the Lion became
Matthew Lyon, and so on; from this
origin came probably nearly all of the
| many surnames derived from the names
of animals, and also many Of those be-
ginning with Saint" though these last
may have sometimes originated with the
selection, by the first owner OF the name,
of some particular saint as his patron

Daletown changing to Dalton, etc.
The names of animals, occupations,

difficult to trace through changes In the
meaning and spelling of words, especially
when name has been transferred from

Periods Of religious and political excite

names. The Puritans would only admit
of two classes of names, those expressive
of religious sentiment-"Praise God,

carried to excess during the days of

wife's name to his own, viz: Bradley

SURNAMES.

SOGNAMES.
In all countries the use of surnames
among the common people was of later
date than with the weather. classes The
sources of surnames were various. The
natural features of the country gave
their names to those who resided at or
near them, hence we have such names
as Wood, Marsh, Wells, Dale, Meadows,
etc. The position of a dwelling, with
reference ito some feature of the land
scape, gave other names, as Underhill,
Byford and the like. Persons who left
their native country to live in another
were given the name of their nationality
to serve as surname. Thus a Scotch
man wandering into England returned
with the acquired name of Scott, and
an E.nglishman i'll Normandy became
1nglis, a native of the Netherlands in
England or Scotland became Fleming or
Holland, and so on.
A very large class of SurnameS were
formed by son." or it's equivalent in the
language of the country, added to the
Christian name of the father. Names of
this sort We're wont to fiuctuate from
generation to generation. Thus if James
Allenson had a son who was named AL
len, for his grandfather, the youth would
be known as Allen Jameson. Such
changes are common even yet among
the Swedes and Norwegians, with whom
the word sen stands for son. The endless
list Of names ending in son originated
in this manner. Another long list is that
of the Christian names apparently plu-
rallied, as Edwards, Adams, Williams,
ETC.. this IS however, having been in the
original the possessive of the fathers
name. This possessive was the origin
of large numbers of italian surnames in
81, as Dossi, Crispi, or Di Cola, di Giac-
ONO, etc. The custom of using 'Fitz''
signifying "son of" originated in Nor
mandy, whence 1t was imported into
England, and gave a large group of sur
names, as Fitzsimmons, Fitzherbert, etc.
In the highlands of Scotland, the prefix
Mac" was used with the same meaning.
So also was the "Ap'' of the Welsh peo-
pie and the "O,' of the Irish. Surnames
without number are drawn from occupa-
tons, trades, or callings, as Knight, Page,
Brewer, Taylor Carpenter, Shepherd
Farmer, etc. From these additional names

APPLE ORCHARD.

Fred Wellhouse, of Topeka, Kan, is
the largest apple grower in the world.
He has 800 acres in apples alone. His
orchards are in Leavenworth, Shawnee
and Usage counties. He has over 10000
apple trees.
Mr.. Wellhouse grows other fruits, but
apples are his speciality. He was the first
Kansan who had the courage to engage
in fruit raising to any extent, and he
has been well rewarded for his faith and
enterprise. He has made handsome for
tune, has retired from active business,
leaving his orchard in charge of his
sons, and lives in a $4,000 residence i'll
Topeka. Mr.. Wellhouse considers the
Ben Davis apple the best staple, and has
a third of his orchard planted in that
variety. Over 400 acres are planted to
the Missouri pippin, 100 to the Jonathan,
100 to the Gano and the rest to York
Imperial and the winesap. His apples
are sold in all the large cities and a con-
siderable quantity goes to the markets
of Europe. Mr.. Wellhouse is from In
dianapols, Ind. and was once editor of
the Indiana Farmer.

EVOLUTION OF THE DANCE.

1t has also been maintained thar the
art of dancing, that is, the regular and
art-bound dance, originated in religious
rites, and that it was originally simply
a ceremonial form. But with as much
reason could we say that SPONTANEOUS
dancing, or dancing in its crudest form.
is simply hopping, a springlng, etc, re-
sulting from youth, abundance of vigor,
elation and certain stages of rage. War
dances and some erotic national dances
could be accounted for in that way. Out
of these the art-bound dance might have
been evolved. The question CT the origin
of the dance 1t is very difficult, if not
impossible, to settle. The probability is
that our social dance has evolved from
the religious ceremonial dance through
various national dances as intermediate
stages.
