X AYES Os DAYS.
Have Curious Derivations Which Fe-
 People Know.

Last night was at a stag dinner,
 where the company at large was asked
 from what source the days of tte week
 derived thel" names, and only one man
 out of the twelve present could answer
 the question, and he was the man wha
 that, for I've since looked the matter
 up Sunday and Monday are simple enough, and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and
 moon, but with Tuesday We cone to the ancient gods of our forefathers, the Engels, that hardy race that displayed the Briton and gave their name to the English people. Tuesday was named for Twi, their god of death, Wednes- eay for Odin, Woden or Wotan, who occupies in their mythology a position analogous 70 that of Jupiter on Mt. Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god Of air and storm and rain; Friday fer Freia or Freya, the god of peace, and Saturday possibly for Saeterr, an ob scure god of their mythology, but more probably 1t takes it's name for Saturn It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use put I'll wager that not one person out af hundred can tell them correctly It's like the surprise the Bible gives Che not familiar with it, by the idlcms and phrases they will come across when reading It's pages, that are fam:- liar and colloquial in the language they use, but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence ther came en the pffs of either speaker or
 listener .-NtW York Tribune.

 ish at Irkutsk.
 Irkutsk, the accepted capital ot ori- ental Siberia, is city Of padloeks. It has only about 51 000 inhabitants, yet there are more padlocks on the shut ters and doors of Irkutsk stores than van be found in an American city os 100000. There are as many as three padlocks on some store doors. and every lower story shutter bears from one to i've The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one- half inches thick, says the Chicago Record The closing of store is all affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous Iron bars are put in place, the padlocks are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door. The door is shut, the bars are placed, and the padlock is fixed and locked, and the verdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not. A piece of cord is QIdW Il luiOuSl lite utto Sl lAC DouioShi and the two ends are held against the Goor by a clerk or boy, while the pro- prietor me]ts a piece of sealing wax and sticl.s the ends t. ehe door.

A promenade on an Ifautsk business street after closing time shows the Augo padloeks, the two lines of string qud q fat dab of red wax as big as a silver dollar In case sealing wax is dispensed with the paddock is tied in a rag, the string being knotted in [ peculiar way.

Boats to Pieces.
 A strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island, off New Eea And. It is 90 acres in extent, about 12 feet in depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable char aateristic Of this lake is that the water contains cast quantities of hydro- ahlorie and sulphuric acids, hlsslng and bubbling at a temperature of 1l6 degrees Fahrenheit. The dark green colored water looks particularly un1n viting. Dense clouds of sulphur1c funer constantly roll off shis boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised Ill ap- preaching this lake to avoid the rlsk of s,lffocation. On the opposite sloe On the lake may be seen the tremendous blow holes, which, vixen in full blast, present an overlapping sight. lhe roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth into the air = deafening, and often huqe b0wlders and stones are buried sut to a height of several hundred feet oy tho various internal forces or ha- 5lre. A boat can Ae launched on the ,ake, ana, if proper care be ohservea she very edges of the blow-holes may be safely explored Some idea of fhq strength of the aeid-saturated water of this lake may 5e gathered from the fact that boat almost dropped te pieces after all the passengers had beer landed. as the rtvets had corroded un aev the influence of the acids.

A bill has been introduced in the
lower house of congress- by Rep
resentative Overstreet which 10 de.
aigned to make the present gold
standard unasssilable by providing
that all gold and silver coins of the
United States, except subsidiary
coins. shsll be exchangeable nt par
at the Treasury Of the United States
at the demand of the holder. The
argument advanced by the sup.
porters of the bill 10 that this will
insure the naintainance of the gold
standard because the holder Of any
other form of money can exchange
Il at his option for gold; that II will
make no Discrimination against sil.
yer. because Il can be. obtained up
on demand, la exchange for gold or
paper; that Il will not add any 10
the burden of the Treasury beyond
that imposed By lite present obliga-
tions, because. all forms of money
being treated alike, there will be no
discriE. patton IN the presentation
of money for redemption; that u
will prevent any Discrimination In
the payment of money into the
treasury, and therefore will prevent
the drying up of the stream Of gold
in times of panic which floH be
