MEANING OF SCOTCH NAMES
Odd and Interesting Nomenclature
of the Counties In the Land
of Heather.

The whole of the Scotch counties
with but few exceptions, have a
meaning to their nouns, many OF
which were given by our Celtic fore
fathers, says the Scottish American.
Thus Lanard means ga level spot, an
Enclosure for cows" Dumbarton
means "fort or hill of the Britons, y
and Dumfries, the fort of the Fris-
ians," or a piece of copse and
shrubs" Ayr takes its name from the
river Ayr, meaning Smooth river
Forfar signifies cold land" probably
because of the cold east winds preva.
lent there. KinrOss is the head or
end of the wood" Wfgtown, the ''vil
lage in the bay" and Roxburgh the
castle on the rock"
Kincardine means head of the arm
or inlet" and Ross ga promontory, al
isthmus" referring to the Tarbat pen
insula). Fife is called after Fibh, one
of the seven sons of Sruithne, legend
airy father of the Picts. Caithness
strangers land" $50 designated from
the Danes and other invaders having
in turn come and taken possession
of iD.
Linlithgow means "dear, broad
lake" probably referring to the
loch at Linlithgow palace, where Mary
Queen of Scotswas born),
PEBBLES means a "tent," and iti
neighbor, Selllirk, means a "churcf

THE STORY OF A ROSE.
Emotions of the Ribbon Clerk Who
Gave the Flower to the Young
Lndy He Most Admired.

The young man with the Accent
Ascot and the squeaky shoes had
given his lady love a rosa real
American Beauty. He had paid cash
for it, which is something richer and
better-dressed young men seldom do,
saws the Detroit Free Press.
The young lady dressed in the fan
nelette waist, and the fve-gored skirt,
applqued on the reveres, ruffies in
side and outside, was in high glory.
She was the daughter of a motorman,
catalogued as a brunette, and wore
her hair loose, so that the greater
part of it hung over her right eye.
A creation of red ribbon. tied to a
celluloid hairpin hid the thin spot near
her right ear.
She was evidently an artist, for she
handled the young mans posy in a
manner designed to call attention to
her beauty. First up to her nose, then
down to her mouth, then under her
chin, at the same time showing her
ivory teeth, like two rows of pearl.
She brushed them according to the di-
rections on the bottle, once after aris-
ing and again after each meal.
The young man watched her with
admiring eyes. He envied even the
thorns upon the 26-inch stem; he
longed to be a petal or bud. Mean
while the damsel continued to fondle
the blossom. After spending three
hours watching her play with the
rose he departed with great longings
in his heart.
so, that were a rose," he said, Bit
terly, to himself. "To be worn by
you, Emma, to be fondTed, to be kissed.
If I were a rose I'd be content even
to be placed in Sour hair, much as
dislike hair"
Three days later the young man re-
turned. The maiden was busy at the
time sitting on large volume of col
lected poems.
81 am pressing the rose you gave
me the other night" she said, sweetly.
At that the young man lost all de-
sire to be rose. Ribbon clerk at $5.25
every Saturday night was good
enough for him.

A Deserted Street in Paris.

A queer discovery has been made
in Paris in the shape of a street unin-
habited and ignored by all. In the
course of the work in progress for
widening the Rue Vaneau, this road
way-which it would be incorrect to
describe rs thoroughfare, consider
ing that the ends were blocked up
was discovered. 1t had neither paw
ing stones nor pavement, was two
meters wide, and an old inscription
showed that it was formerly called
Rue d'Olivet. 1t would be useless to
seek the name in a directory, for it
is certqin that until a few days ago
no one knew of the existence of the
Rue d'Olivet.-Paris Messenger.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The new ameer of AfChanistan has
declared against the admission OF
missionaries to his country.
DR.. \. p. Camphor, of Liberia, places
Mohammedanism superstition and po-
! iygamy as the three hardest prob
lens in Africa. Northumberland is
to-day missionary religion, very ag-
eTessive and successful.
Uganda is TO build n cathedral. For
foundation stone the gravestone OF
Rev. Mr.. Pillsington, who was killed
by the Baganda some years ago, has
been used. He was a graduate OF
Cambridge, where he distinguished
himself as an athlete.
Two scholarships have been estab-
lishcd in the woman's law class at
New York university. They are en-
titled the 1902 and the Mrs. Russell
Sage scholarships. They are intend
ed to encourage young women who
work in lawyers offices and would
like to become lawyers.
There is not an Indian tribe in the
United States which is entirely with
out missionaries. The work has been
aided in recent years by the efforts
of many native Indian preachers, who
have the advantage of thorough
knowledge of the language and GUS
toms of the people among whom they
work.
The new $4,000 endowment for
Oberlin college will give an annual
income of $4,000 at the average per-
centage of the colleges invested
money The yearly deficit has been
$4,000, so that $4,000 will be left for
expenditure in new ways. This money
is for the college department alone,
and will be used for its needs eXclu-
sively.
The old gymnasium at Harvard will
be used as a German museum, hav-
ing been given up by the corporation
for the purpose. Prof. Francke is Sc
lecting objects for it abroad, and the
building is being thoroughly remod-
eled for the purposes. The third
floor has been taken out altogether
and the partitions removed in the
first two floors, thus giving large and
well-lighted exhibition rooms. The
German emperor is said to be much
interested in the museum.

You may avoid the unpleasantuess

Holding the onions in cold water while

TOOL THAT ALMOST TALKS.
Development of the Ordinary Stcel'
Working Lathe Tint works
without Human Aid.

The most highly developed Of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and like many another contrlv-
ance for saving labor, its home is New
England 1t is development of the or
binary steel-working lathe, the inter-
mediate step being the monitor lathe'
in which the various cutting tools pro-
trude from the side Of steel turret
like a 13-inch gun from battleshp
turret. In the nOn-autOmatic screw
machine, the turret is reyoived by the
operator. so as to bring each tool into
play, Just as the turret on the OLD
Monitor" was reyolved to bring one
gun after another into action. BiIt IN
the automatic machine the work IS
done without human guidance, says
Frank Xix Fayant, in Success.
In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watch
es clocks, typewriters, electrical IN
struments and other mechanisms. all
the operator has to do is to feed the
"stock"-.a long, thin rod of steel or
brass-to the machine The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The tur-
ret advances, and puts its first tool mt
work on the end of the rod. When TINS
tool has done its task, the turret draws
it, turns and advances second tool
into action Each cutting tool around
the turret has its distinct work TO per-
form-one cutting a thread, another
shaping a head, another putting on a
point. another drilling a hole, still an
other putting on knurling. The turret
automa tically brings each Of, perhaps
six tools into action, and when the
work is finished, the completed screw
drops into a pan while the "stock" is
automatically fed forward to begin the
complex operation again. A stream OF
machine oil pours continuously on
the work to carry away the heat, and
the little metal cuttings collect in
heap under the machine.
Hour after hour this wonderful au-
tomaton goes through its cycle of OPP
erations, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as it brings a new tool forward
Small pieces of brass, on which but one
tool cuts, are dropped at the rate OF
four a second. Large screws of com
plicated design, upon which a whole
turretful of tools must work, are cut
from a steel rod at the rate Of one OF
two a minute. So perfectly are these
screw machines constructed that an
unsllilled mechanic can operate row
of them. All he is required to do is to
keep them fed with stock" In some
shop girls tend the machines.

THE LITTLE MINSTREL.

HIS hands are soiled, his throat is bare,
His face is streaked with dirt and thin,
And many slip is in the air
He plays upon his violin;
A sadness dwells within his eyes.
The shoes are ragged on his feet,
And scoffers stop to criticise
The little minstrel in the street.
There by the curb he plays away
Where fakes float past and winds blow
chill,
And maybe, as the critics say,
He lacks the tutored artists skill
But now and then little strain
Played faultlessly and soft and sweet
Floats up from where he stands out there
The little minstrel in the street.
Say, ragged little minstrel, why
Must people listen but to hear
The false note, ever passing by
The strain that rises soft and clear?
Oh, it were we'll with us II we
Might In our own ways sound the sweet
And faultless notes as oft as-he-
The little minstrel in the street.

Costly Government Clocks.

Scattered throughout the various
Washington departments are hun
dreds of clocks and chronometers,
which cost the government annually
thousands of dollars. The chro-

be found on board every warship Of
the United States. These timepieces
cost $500 each. The ones most con-
suited are those in the marble room

people daily correct their watches by

The Oldest Force storage.

The water wheel is probably the Old
est method OF obtaining mechanical
force apart from the employment OF
animal force. These wheels were no
doubt at first worked by flowing river
and then by falling stream, and ii
would not be very greut advance on
this method to dam back the stream
SO as TO obtain continuous supply OF
force even In times of drought. Such
storing OF water at n sufficiently high
level IL the simplest and even at the
present time the most successful meth
oil OF storing force. II carefully ar
ranged the loss by evaporation and
leakage is small aud may be partly or
wholly replaced by rain SO the force IS
always available, and but little labor is
needed to keep such works in repair.
The water clock of the Romans was
an elaboration of this method of stor-
ing force aud was for them the only
form of motor"
