Among the Arabs of Syria a man changes his name after the birth Of his eldest son, assuming the name which has been bestowed upon the heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning father of" Thus, if the son is called Fudle Allah, Gods Bounty" the fa- ther will be henceforth known us Abu Fudle Allah, Father of Gods Bounty" In like manner the mother would be- come known us Em Fudle Allah, Moth CT of Gods Bounty" This custom Is not merely one of common speech, but extends to all occasions and even 10 legal documents.

How He Proposed.

He wished to. propose to the girl Of
his choice. but she was nervous. First
he thought Of the old romantic style:
8 "By my ;halidop, fair one. would
fafn take thee for my bride. Say thou
: wilt be mine. and ere thessun gilds the
tugets of yonder castle the friar shall
unite us IN holy bonds"
In the face Of the prevalent rage for
dramas Of the olden STYLE. this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an eminent
" modern young man. however, ne
thought again and determined to test
. the theatrical mode.
But just at that moment the. fair
Mary ripped into the room. and he
blurted out:
'Er-Mary-er-will you-er-welP-
But Mary was far. from being coz
trary. "oh, that's, all right, George"
said she. "I know what you mean.

Only those who have to go to the

and the sitting Of belongings realize
how much Of what one clings to as in
dispensable becomes absolutely useless
when laid by for a time. Pictures
priced for one reason or another, SOU
yenirs that fail to recall anything but
inconvenience, letters that one couldn't
bear to burr, odds and ends that one
was sure to want, all become as trash
in the repose Of the stored trunk and
are sacrificed without qualm when
moving time comes around to make
room for other things that will last
their little day and then End the same
end.-NeW York Press.

THE CATFISH ZONE.
And the origin OF the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and Wafies.

And the Origin OF the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and Wa6es.
While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension Of the Pie belt
through the United States and the en-
larsement Of the saleratus biscuit dis
tr;ct. they have been entirely oblivious
of the extraordinary Development OF
the catfish zone. This mischievous
dweller of the pool is known to the
small boy and. the rustic angler under
many names-in one place as sucker,
in another a bullhead, in a third wolf
fish and, most outrageous OF all, IN
northern Mississippi as shad. But It's
own only genuine title is catfish The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water it emits grunting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring of family car.
Philadelphia produced tl@ catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day a thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecuniary
value Of the discovery and established
a catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due seossc. sold them to the Phila-
deiphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discov-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly salted and covered With melt
ed butter, made an irresistible aceesso-
ry to the fish when we'll fried. This
started the catfish and waf1es. for
which the. City Of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous. The habit
spread like an epidemic. and. like the
star of empire, its way was westward
so far as is known the United States
government has no record of catfish
and wafftes east of the Dela ware river,
but starting at. Philadelphia a distinct
catfish zone runs westward. terminat'
ing at Denver. reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as fa1
south as Mobile and New Orleans. The
catfish is said to possess medicinal vir
tue. It is mildly annsthetic. soporlhe
and antispasmodic.-N York Post.
