VARIANT SPELLINGS OF NAMES.
From The Boston Transcript.


Certain spellinEs of New England names are
undoubtedly the result of illiteracy, and came
into use at that curious time when people
spelled by and really did not know how their
names should be written. Nowadays most peo-
pie careful to spell their names as their
fathers spelled them, and certainly they cannot
be blamed for doing unless they follow meth

and trouble the general public Varia-
ton in the spelling of family names is rather
the rule than the exception. Take for ms .ance.
the which by the first corners in New-Eng-
land who bore it was properly spelled Haseltne.
In the Boston directory we find these spellings;
Haseltine, HaZeltine HaZelton. Hesseltine and
Hesselton and in the country districts several
others followed. Another name which has
a variety Of spellinSs is JosSelyn which is
spelled not only thus but JCSn Joslyn and
Jocelyn. OF C urse, any man who bears this
name must tell people when he gives it. just
how to .eli it, and the giving of this infor-
nation must waste a great deal of his time Ii
might be convenient to have q name like Allen,
which would ask how to spell when It
givoa; but If ones name happens to be
Allin, or Alleyne, or Alline, Allan an ex-
PLANTATION is necessary. The Harris. Hartes and
Hartts likewise have great deal Of trouble
and most Woful of all seems to be the case OF
the Thcmsons without a p. who probably spend
about oHe-third of their lives in getting people
to leave out the p-and then they don't do it.

BY rendering a plate impervious to
enemy's projectiles the manufacturer has also
made it impossible to bore the necessary holes
for boiling the armOr to ships sides. At first
it was proposed to avoid this embarrassment by
drilling the hole before hardening the plate.
And it has also been thought that the hardening
process might be so controlled as to spare GER
tain designated areas. But when attempts were
made to carry out these ideas they were found
to be impracticable.

afterward, so as to enable drill to penetrate

Attention is once more drawn to the great

members to COwes to visit the Queen on the &C

back in the same way. This exceeding expense
may be justified when a change of Ministry

ZINC plating on iron acts quite
differently from iron plated with
other metals, such as nickel, silver
or copper. Zinc potects the iron
electrically by virtue of the fact that
in the presence of moisture a
galvanic couple will be formed be-
tween the zine and any exposed
parts of the iron, which will
cause hydrogen to be formed on the
exposed iron, and this tends not
only to keep rust from forming, but
will also reduce any rust which
may have been formed.
