CHANGE THEIR OLD NAMES.

Country Uader New
Aliases.

The clerk Of the city court, says the
New York Evening Post, lately made
public the names Of 70 persons who
changed their names in legal form in
the year 1900. Most Of the original
names are of palpably foreign extrac-
tion. As a rule all reasonable re.
quests for change Of name are granted
They are then filed away, the petition
giving the avowsd reasons for change
and the judgment passed upon it by the
court. A glance at the records and the
various name changes gives rise to con-
siderable speculation as to the real
cause of dissatisfaction Why, one
wonders, should name Of such aristo.

DEADLY CARBON MoN-vxIDE.
Iss lasidious and Fatal Eaeets Graph.
tcally illustrated In Recent
Accideats.

The recent death OF one laundress
and narrow escape of another through
the breathing OF escaping gas from
laundry stove in which there was
coke fire. both of them overcome while
awake and working and in large room
fun of doors and windows, recalls the
graphic account given by DIR. 4. 4. Mil
Ter of the wholesale poisoning which
occurred by this same gas, carbon mon
oxide. at the SEaefell mining disaster.
\ rescuing party was orertaken by the
gas and one Of their number kept writ
ing description OF his sensations as
long as his pencil would trace the
words. He wrote:
I'VE all sat without moving or try
ing TO escape; the foot OF the ladder
was close by, yet none Of us made any
efIor, 10 go TO il and ascend even sin
g.e rung. We none Of us tried 10 walk
a dozen steps. which would have led us
TO the other side OF the shaft partition,
where we all knew there was a current
OF better air"
The poisonous gases in these cases
were carbon mon and di oxide. chiefly
the former, both OF which are present
in ordinary Illuminating gas, says the
New York Times. The carbon mon
oxide, which is by far the more danger
Gus OF the two, !. present In the so
called water gas (which has largely re-
paced the old-fashioHed coal gas in the
large cities) to the extent OF 20 TO 30
per cent. Its ipsidiOus and paralyzing
na;ure may be seen from the way in
which the rescuing party simply sat
down and waited for death, when few
steps would have saved them. and in
the fact that two able bodied, healthy
women were overcome while wide
awake and not ak fee, from severa!
doors and windows.
The dangerous steaithinesS OF this
g;S seems TO be due TO its gradual COM
bsuation with the haemog giobin Of the
blood (Which is the agent carrying oSy-
gen to the tissues and removing the
waste carbon dioNide). into a very sta
bic compound, so stable in fact, that it
prevents the usual absorption OF oxy-
gen in the lungs and thus really brings
about an asphyxiation of the tissues.
II is the poisonous gas given on from
burning charcoal. which is sometimes
used fer suicidal purposes.

peasant of the name of Binnoch and
seven followers Of Bruce secured en-
trance by hiding themselves in a load
of hay which was allowed to pass un-
inspected into the castle. They cap
tured the place and were rewarded
by Bruce with rich lands.
In the reign of Edward III. the
castle was again in the hands of the
English, and in 1924 it was partly de-
stroyed by fire. After the accession,
of the Stuart family Linlithgow be-
came fixed royal residence, and the
Scottish kings were wont to deed it

immediate successors improved and
enlarged the castle, and with them 1t
was the favorite residence. The de-
generation began in 1746, when the
castle was abandoned to the use OF
soldiers az barrack and was acci-
dentally set on fire.
The old ruin is oil of polished stone
and covers an acre Of ground. Many

THE WHIPPING POST.
Penalty for Men Who Desert Their
Wives and Families.
Evil IL Increasing In All Parts of the
Country, But More Especially
In Our Cities-More Rigid
Lave Needed.

The establishment Of the whipping
post as punishment for men who
beat or desert their wives is suggest
ed by officers of the Chicago bureau
of charities in statement issued re-
Gently. The statement reads in part
rs follows:
From charitable societies all over
the land comes cry of alarm al the
prevalence of family desertion by
husbands and fathers. Whether this
evil is increasing in proportion to the
population is not established, but GER
tain it is that reports of organiza-
tions engaged in charitable work in
dicate a growing interest in the sub
ject. Three different opinions are ex-
pressed. One holds that the proper
tions of desertions to population Is
not increasing, but that more thor
ough study of conditions is bringing
the facts into new prominence. An
other holds that laxity in marriage
and divorce laws is begetting wide
spread disregard of family ties and
obligations, and that the remedy lies
In stricter laws and their rigid en-
forcement. The third opinion noted
maintains that the influx of large
numbers of ignorant foreigners is re-
sponsible for On abnormal increase
In the evil.
ut is asserted that these persons,
coming from countries in which mar
riage and divorce laws are extremely
restrictive, are subject to moral re-
action which converts liberty into Ii
eense,
"The holders Of this opinion believe
in the enactment Of more rigid laws,
but place their faith chiefly in the
educational value Of our churches,
schools and other republican institu-
tions. The contention of those who
hold to the third opinion appears TO

AS an index of prosperity the move

to serve as a faithful guide says the
Duluth Herald. For the past three
months the purchases of rolling stock

for them. it may be taken as an indi-
cation of what the country is doing.
