greater part of his lifetime and was
known by everybody and highly respect

HOW INDIANS CATCH FISH.

On the 1st of July the Indians will

purpose. This Is the root of certain

roots go so deep. in so many direc

On this particular occasion II Is
said that $500 bundles of devils

select a portion or hole Of water In
the river, and some of them will beat
up this root and throw 1t in the water.
This is repeated by another party OF
Indians a considerable distance from
the first party, and the water be-
comes impregnated with the juice
and the effect on whatever fish may
be in this particular place is marvel
Gus. They become sick and float
on the surface of the water, and then
the shooting begins. The Indians
shoot them with bows and arrows and
spear them. After a sufficient guam
tity Of fish have been gathered in
they repair to the hills and banks
The cleaning is done by the squlws
and after they are cooked the feast
begins. While the fish are sickened

THE ORIGIN OF suRNAMEs.
They Were First Used in Normandy
Before the Conquest

CcIoTc tne SoVQuest
Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyri'
ans, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
had surnames and in the earliest
period Of their history the same may
be said of the Romans. says the Wav.
erly Magazine. In course of time,
however, every Roman citizen had
three names-the praenomen, or per-
sonal name; the nomen, or name OF
the gems or clan, and the eognomen,
or family name, as Publius Corelus
Scipio. Conquerors were occasionally
complimented by the addition Of
fourth name, or agnomen, commemor.
ative of their conquest, rs Publius
Cornelius Scipio Africanus.
1t is Impossible to state with any
degree Of certainty when the modern
system Of personal nomenclature be.
came general. 1t has been stated that
The practice of surnames began in
Normandy and extended to England
after the Norman conquest, but
document in the Cottorian manuscript
quoted in Turner's History of the
Anglo Saxons" contains reference to
Invita- HATTIE, a keeper of bees in
Hathfelda; to Tate HATTIE. his daugh-
ter, mother Of Wulsige the shooter,
and Lulle HATTIE, sister of Wulsige.
The date of these records of the
Hates is not to be ascertained. but
they were certainly written before the
year 1866. So far as antiquarians have
been able to discover Hattie is the
first surname whose existence can be
traced in England. 1t is not improb-
able that the founder of the HATTIE
family was SO called because of some
unusual or noticeable headgear that
ne was in the habit Of wearing.
