Picking Village Names.

1.-THE Street of the Roasted Corn" is
one of the curious names of streets in
Peking and suggests the singular and
often confusing names given to Chi
nese villages. Here are a few village
names taken from an area of few
miles square: Horse Words Village"
from a tradition of a speaking animal;
"Sun Family Bull Village" Wang
Family Great Melon Village" Tiger
Catching Village" "HOrse Without a
Hoof Village" "Village of the Loving
and Benevolent Magistrate" and the
"Village of the Makers Of Fine Tooth
ed Combs"
Arthur H. Smith in his book on "Nil-
lage Life In China" says that market
town on the highway, the well OF
which afforded only brackish water
was called "Bitter Water Shop" but
as this name was not pleasing to the
ear it was changed on the tax lists to
Sweet Water Shop" If any one asked
how it was that the same fountain
could thus send forth at the same time
waters both bitter and sweet, he was
answered, Sweet Water Shop is the
same as Bitter Water Shop"

Old Rules For Night Policemen.

Old Boston is vividly brought to
mind by the following excerpt from
the selectmen's minutes, dated Nov. 1,
1859, containing instructions to watch
men:
SIN going the rounds care must be
taken that the watchmen are not noisy,
but behave themselves with strict de-
corum. that they frequently give the
time of the night and what the wealth
er is with a distinct but moderate
voice. excepting at times when it is
necessary to pass in silence in order to
detect and secure persons that are out
on unlawful actions.
"You and your division must en-
deavOr to suppress all rOuts, riots and
other disorders that may be committed
in the night and secure such persons
as may be guilty, that proper steps
may be taken next morning for a
prosecution as the law directs. We alb
solutely forbid your taking private
satisfaction or any bribe that may be
offered you to let such go or to conceal
their offense from the selectmen."

sneak kindly words Now.

In the course of our lives there must
be many times when thOughtless
words are spoken by us which wound
the hearts of others, and there are also
many little occasions when the word
of cheer is needed from us and we are
silent
There are lives of wearisOme monot-
ony which a word of kindness can re-
lieve. There is suffering which words
of sympathy can maze more endura-
BILE, and often even to the midst of
wealth and luxury there are those who
listen and long in vain for some express
sion of disinterested kindness.
Speak to those while they can hear
and be helped by you, for the day may
come when all our expressions of love
and appreciation may be unheard. I'm
agine yourself standing beside theil
last resting place. Think of the things
you could have said of them and tt
them while they were yet living. TheI
go and tell them now.-EXchange.

RICHARD WILLIAM VAUGHAN
The First English Bank FOrSer and
the story of His Fail.

The First English Bank FOrger ana
the Story of His Fail.
The story of the first bank forger,
Richard William Vaughan, is little
known. Vaughan was the brother Of
Stafford lawyer and became clerk to
Nlicitor in London. He wished to
marry his masters daughter and prom
ised to produce the sum of f1,OOO,
which, he said, his mother would pre-
sent to him, half of it to be settled on
his wife. On these terms the father
consented to the marriage, and Vaughan
obtained months leave of absence.
He occupied this period in obtaining
engraved impressions in imitation or
twenty pound Bank of England notes,
which was not such a difficult matter
then, such things as forged notes be-
ing unknown. With fifty of these
sham notes he presented himself at the
appointed time, and his fiancee accept
ed her share in perfect good faith, and
the marriage preparations were pro-
ceeded with.
Unfortunately he wanted ready mon
ey and put two of his own forged
notes into circulation. They were chal-
lenged, when he became alarmed and
tried to get back the notes he had
given to the young lady, but she re-
fused to yield them up, suspecting
nothing Of their true nature, and when
| Vaughan was arrested next day she
would hardly believe even then that
she had been deceived.
The fOrger was tried at the Old Bal
ley on the 7th of April, 1853, spending
what was to have been his wedding
day in the condemned cell. -Four days
later he was hanged at Tyburn.-Lon
don Standard.

Character in Nicknames.

When Austria was only a dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles Cath
olic," Glorious and "Warlike." The
first was perhaps a religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic of Spain. The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent and the third a great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea of
the conditions of the people while
these dukes ruled.
France has had most wonderful as
sOrtment of kings. One was the Little
and another the Bold. One was the
Stammerer. another Simple, while a
third and fourth were Indolent and
Fair. These names are descriptive of
the kings themselves. but it is hardly
to be supposed that a king who was in
dolent or simple did much to further
the interests of his subjects. But wheT
we find Robert IL. called the Sage, We
realize that he ruled wisely and tha
the people were better off for it.

The Art Of working In Gold.

The Romans copied the Greek and
Etruscan goldsmiths' work, though
they also often used the ornaments
themselves taken from the ancient
tombs. Much of the art of the ancients
in working gold was lost until early in
the nineteenth century, when Signor
Castellani found some of the Etruscan
methods still being employed by work
men in a village in a remote corner OF
the Apennines.-London Times.

Painless Deaths.

Probably the least painful death is
by means of an overdose of chloroform.
You begin with a pleasant sensation
and end in oblivion. Prussic acid acts
instantaneOusly. Presuming the agony
of anticipation avoided, some violent
deaths are quite painless. as they give
no time for feeling pain. Such are be-
ing blown to pieces by dynamite or by
a shell. Drowning is said to be lux
ury. and experts have recommended
opening a vein in hot bath. Lauda-
mum and other narcotics would run
chioroform and ether hard for first
place.

An Artists Lament.

Otto Lasins in his diary describes a
walk he took one day with Bocklin, the
famous artist, near Zurich. Bocklin
was in raptures over the colors Of the
autumn leaves, the blue sky, the
clouds. "Ah. those are colorsT he ex-
claimed. "If we could have those on
our palettes How weak are our means
in comparison with those of nature'
White is our best light, and only by
means of clever contrasts can we Sc
cure effects approximating the natural
ones"

A NARROWING RIDE.
Dickens Trip by StageeORch From
Cleveland to Sandusky.
years old.


Cleveland to Sandusky.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
lea in 1872, he Travelled by stagecoach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, o. De
scribing his experience, he wrote:
"At one time we were all thrown to-
gether in a heap at the bottom OF the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
two wheelers, and now it was rearing
up In the air. The driver, who certain
ly got over the ground in a manner
quite miraculous so twisted and turn
ed the team in forcing a passage cork
screw fashion through the bOgs and
swamps that it was a common circum-
stance on looking out of the window to
see the coachman with the ends Of a
pair Of reins in his hands. apparently
driving nothing, and the leaders star
ing unexpectedly at one from the back
of the coach, as if they had some idea
of getting up behind.
"a great portion of the way was over
what is called a corduroy road which
is made by throwing trunks of trees
into a marsh and leaving them to set
tie there The very slightest Of the
jolts with which the ponderOus car
riage fell from log to log was enough
It seemed. to have dislocated all the
bones in the human body. 1t would be
impossible to experience a similar sci
of sensations in any other circum
stances unless perhaps in attempting
to go up to the top of St. PauPs in al
omnibus"
This description serves to illustrate
the condition of our country roads, gen
orally speaking, as they were half
century ago except in a few wealth
communities. There has been a woI
derful change since then.

There is a reminiscence of Caleb Bal

failed he set it down in front Of his

1t is possible that our age will make
its mark in art and literature in
the development of advertising. We
commend this view to the pessimists
who are telling us the truth about our
work in the old lines. The ratistic in
stinct does not die, but it breaks out
in new places once in a while and the
critics have a hard time catching up.
Future ages will look back to this as to
the golden age of the art of advertising
for Lady Montague, herself, could not
match the taste shown in the letters
published in commendation of our
quack medicines, and Titan could not
vie with the colorists of our posters
displaying the female form. Even
Metheuselah would be no match for
the ancient gentleman who writes, 81

Daily Kennebec journal., 1902-07-12
The New England Immigrants.

The Boston Journal analyses the
Boston immigration figures for the
flood tide year which ended July ! and
shows the marked change in the char
acter of recent immigration. During
the year 1,i62 aliens arrived at the
port of Boston. OF these about one
half. or 1917, stayed in Massachusetts,
1927 went to Canada and the rest de-
parted westward, many Of them, how
ever. to take UP their homes in other
parts of New England or in New York
city.
For long years the bulk of the i'm
migration at Boston was Irish. But
these people, whose descendants form
such a large element of the modern
Boston that the latest directory shows
$40 John Sullivans to 11O John Smiths
in that city. have now fallen into IL
subordinate place. In the fiscal year
1902. the Scandinavians. with 13,S5S ar
rivals, outnumbered the Irish almost
two to one. Next after the Scandi-
navians came the Italians, with S932;;
the Irish. with 1909: the English, with
4112: the Firms, with 2s97. There We're
S31 Scotch. 4s2 Germans, $50 Hebrews,
344 Poles and 122 Dutch. 1t is the
Italian immigration which has most
heavily increased-due to the estab-
lishment of a regular steam line to
Boston out of the Mediterranean. How
ever. the number of Italians coming
her is only a small fraction of the total
arrivals in America. Most of the Itals
ian immigration still enters the port of
New York.
As showing the effect and also the
need of the enactment of some such
more stringent restrictive measure
such as the Lodge immigration bill.
imposing an educational test, it is
stated that out of every thousand
Italians over fourteen years of age
who came here last year, 6i3 could
neither read nor write. and the pro-
portion of illiterates from Austro-
Hungary and Russia is even larger.
The United States has very little use
for aliens who are so densely ignorant.
They ought to be debarred, and they
