QUAINT COLONIAL NAMES.
How the Offspring of Our First Colo.
nists Were Christened.

How the Offspring of Our First Colo
nists Were Christened.
1t is an interesting study to trace the
underlying reason for many of the Gu
rious names which are given to the Off
spring of the first colonists. Parents
searched for names of deep signifi-
cance-for names appropriate to con-
ditions, for those of profound infiu-
ence presumably on the child's life.
The Rev. Richard Buck, one of the
early parsons in Virginia, in days of
deep depression, named his first child
Mara. This text indicates the reason
for his choice: "Call me Mara, for the
Almighty has dealt very bitterly with
me. / went out full, and the Lord has
brought me home empty" His second
child was christened Gershom - for
Moses wife bare him n son and called
his name Gershom. for he said have
been in n strange land"
Many names have n pathOs and sad
ness which can be felt down through
the centuries. Dame Dinely, widow OF
a doctor. or barber surgeon. who had
died in the snow while striving to visit
a distant patient, named her poor babe
Fathergone.
The children OF Roger Clapp We're
named Experience, Waitstill, Preserv-
ed. Hopestill, Wait, Thanks. Decide,
Unite and Supply. Madam Austin. an
early settler OF old Narragansett, had
ID children. Their names were Parvis,
Picus. Piersus. Prisemus, Polybius.
Lois. Lettice. Avis. Anstice. Eunice.

French Bakers.

Bakers In France are subject to re-
strictlons and regulations undreamed
of In England. In the fortified towns
along the frontier they are bound by
law to have a certain stock of flour al
ways on hand in case of emergencies.
The bakery not only has to be kept
clean, but the baker has to deposit
with the local authorities n certain
sum of money as n surety for the prop
er conduct of his business.
The law also looks after his weights
and measures, which circumstance
places him in the same position as the
British baker, but In addition the law
regulates the price at which bread can
be sold.
Napoleon III ordered on one occasion
that loaf about equal to our quartern
should be sold for not more than six
pence. and this at a time when we
were paying eightpence and ninepence.

ROAD NAY TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE

+. w. Adams, assistant secretary of
the Milwaukee road, and acting right
of way agent for the new cutoff line.
has been disappointed in his effort to
get right of way through Muscatine
inside Of reasonable figures.
For a piece of land 75x1 900 feet il
has been asked $4,000. This it will
not pay; it will spend more money
for grading another route rather than
be held up. The other route is being
sought and may be found. In the
meantime MIR. Adams has been in
structed to cease the buying of OPP
tions on right of way.
This may mean that the deal is off.
or that it is merely an allegiance; in
any event, it is claimed. the owners
of the only good route are doing all
they can to get two prices for their
land, If not three or four. and the pro-
gress of the work is being delayed by
Eheir action.
Iowa City Air Line.
A map was completed yesterday
morning showing the route, as com
pared locally with other roads in the
state of Iowa and western Illinois, of
the Dss Moines. Iowa City and East
ern railway. The line of the road was
clearly shown, and takes a remark
ably direct route from Des Moines to
Iowa City, thence to Muscatiue aud
on to Peoria, where it is intended
that connections shall be made with
the Baltimore 81 Ohio road and an
outlet to New York reached. The
only out of-the-wsy lead the road
takes is q distance of about ten
miles north and return from the
vicinity of Parnell north to Will
liamsburg. The road does not
touch Parnell, but slightly to
the westward takes a shoot north
to Williamsburg, and then almost
parallels itself back TO the direct line
The natural rou'e of the road would
be via Parnell and thus Is or 20 miles
would be cut off. but Villa IN sburg is
of such Importance that the manage
ment decided that it was to their ad-
vantage that that city be tapped.
Mr.. Lyons, in discussing the matter.
has stated that in his opinion Will
iamsburg will ultimately become the
county seat of Iowa county, that
Marengo is located so far north, and
the city of williams burg and vicinity
so populous that the change will be
made sooner or later.-Des Moines

The building of the 500 to Bis
marck and proposed connecting
with Aberdeen will open up an
extensive market for Ignite coal.
There are seven railroads center
ing in Aberdeen-each one travers-
ing a well settled country that now
depends on eastern coal for fuel
entirely. This new proposed line
would place. Mclean county coal
fields within 200 miles of the Gen.
ter of a market for more than $780,
600 tons annually. This would
mean the opening up Of several
new mines and the employment of
many people. We confdentially
expect to see great changes trans
pire here within the next few
months.
