origin of the Name "pu..."

A great many years ago the people of
Egypt, who had many idols, worshiped
the "cat'' among others. They thought
she was like the moon, because she was
more active at night and because her
eyes changed like the moon, which is
sometimes full and at other times only
light crescent or, as we say, half
moon. Did you ever notice pussy's eyes
change? So they made an idol with a
cats head and named 1t Pasht. The
same name they gave to the moon, for
the word means the face of the moon.
The word has been changed to "Pas"
and "Pus" and has come at last to be
'puss," the name the most of us give
TO the cat. Puss and pussy cat are pet
names for kitty anywhere now. Who
ever thinks of the name as given to her
Thousands Of years ago and the people
who then bowed down and prayed to
her?

A Mere Mans Idea.

"First impressions are proverbially
dangerous guides unless one happens
to be Of the sex which always has the
gift Of making Its first impressions
rhyme with the ISSUE" says a recent
writer. But woman always awaits
the issue before she confides her real
first impressions to the outside world.
She may "say things which the male
outsider may mistake for her first i'm
pressions, but they are not her real
first impressions. They come only after
the event. This, however, is proftless
depression.

PLATE AND MARBLE PUZZLE.

formed on the center of a china plate
and lay small marble beside 1t. The
trick is to hold the plate in your hand
and make the marble roll up on the
card, drop into the hole and stay there.
There is quite a knack in getting the
marble to roll just right to do the trick,
and this knack you want to acquire be-
fore you spring the puzzle on your lit
tie friends. Then show them how
easily you can do it and enjoy their
desperate but futile efforts to hole the
marble.

Mrs. Margaret Patterson, fifty years
old. of No. $50 Jordan avenue, is in the
City Hospital in critical condition, as

was almost enveloped in flames and ran
screaming from the room and endeayor-

ran TO her assistance and, grabbing up a
blanket nearby, threw it around Nj

woman had been terribly burned about
the body, face and arms, The patrol

All opinions seem to agree that the

the country out of its penury and suffer-

prompt the extreme Nationalist element
to throw obstacles in the way of the
prompt enactment of the bin into law.
Perhaps the remark may not be spe-
eially useful at this time, but nobody
can help seeing that the introduction of
this bin is the most utter confession of
guilt on the part of England that history
coald demand. 1t implies the admission
of every claim made by the Irish people
