PiCCADiLLY.
Theories With Respect to Name Of


Famous Street.
Liverpool Post: The busy thorough
fare which we know as Piccadi!ly is far
removed from anything rural as 1t is
possible to imagine. and it can hardly
be realized that there was time when
merely or or two houses stood on
what is now one of the finest and rich
est of the worlds streets. The name
Piccadilly, appears TO lie derived from
the ruffs, picadils. or piccadillocs worn
by the gallants OF the time of James
|. and Charles l.. the stiffening points
of which resembled spear heads or pic
ardls a minutive of "pica" from the
Spanish and Italian. Blount. in his
Glossographia G656), interprets it as
the edge or skirt of garment and
stiff collar or band, for the neck and
shoulders, whence the wooden picca-
dilloes (the piIlory) in Hudibras. Thus
the Grst house built in the road may
have been so named from its being
the utmost or skirt house of the sub
urbs that way" Others say the name
is taken from the fact that "one Hig-
gins who built it (the house) got most
of his estate from the sale OF picca-
dillas," but the name occurs many years
earlier than the mention of the first
house, thus Gerard. in his Herbal
G596) that the small wild bee glosse
grows upon the drie-ditc bankes bout
Piccadilla." The road is referred to in
Slows narrative of Sir Thomas wy
ats rebellion in 1854 as "the highway
on the hill over against st. James's,"
and in Aggas's map (156O) it is lettered
the way to Redinge." The upper part
OF the Haymarket and the fields adj
joining to the north and west were the
"Pickadilly' of the restoration. Eve
lyn quotes the commissioners orders.
July 49, 1862 to pave the Haymarket
about Pigudello," and tradesmen's to-
kens Of that date bear 'Pickadila" and
"Pickabilly."

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend. Ind. Oct. 24.-(Special.l
After suffering from Kidney Dis
ease for three years; after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with
out getting relief, Mr.. j. o. Landenlan
Of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
YES suffered from Kidney Trou-
BILE for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good. Then took just two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys, but gave
me better health in general. OF course
l recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to
others and | know number now who
are using them with good results"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an eX-
ception. Thousands give similar expe-
riences For there never yet was a
case Of Kidney Trouble from Backacne
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's T.
ney Pills could not cure. They are the
only remedy that ever cured Bright's
Disease.

TREES PLANTED AT NIGHT.
More Likely to Live Than If Trans
planted in The DAYTIME.

1
! Philadelphia Record 1t was long
since observed that budding trees, when
itransplanted in the evening and imme-
diately and copiously watered were
much more likely to thrive than those
that had been moved in the day. But
this knowledge did not lead to any we'll
defined theory on the subject until the
experiments of NJ Rene Rounault, a
French expert, proved beyond a doubt
that distinctly beneficial results could
he gained by transplanting wholly at
might.
Being called upon to transplant a
large tract toward the end of May, 1903,
M. Rounault determined to work at
night, and in order to be sure that he
made no mistake he transplanted a
Holland linden, which had been in his
own nursery for five years, at 10 o'clock
at night He carefully watered the
tree, and the branches which bore buds
We're freely moistened. The Linden did
not appear to suffer from this trans
planting, and continued to grow nor
In1ally, without showing any signs of
! weakness. ENCOURAGED by this success,
M. Rounault performed the work Of
transportation entirely in the night
time. The results were excellent, only
1.-TWO trees dying, though the choice OF
1.-THE species was extremely wide, con-
itaining many which do not readily sub
init to the process of transportation.
Il With reference to the precautions to
be observed, it should be stated that
trees should not be transplanted while
their buds are too tender, and that the
work should be done between 10 o'clock
p. m. and o'clock a. m. 1t is desira BILE
that the roots should be covered with
earth which has for several days been
exposed to the effects of air and light.
This should be settled by copious wa
teftngr which forces the earth between
the roots, and not by pressure with the
feet For the first fifteen days after
transpianting the boughs and leaves Of
the trees should be abundantly
sprinkled.

JOYS OF THE OUTDOOR LIFE.
Even the City Bred Man Longs for
Them in Summer DAYS.


Kansas City Star: A cat turns
around before it lies down because its
jungle ancestors had to crush the grass
to make a bed, and the instinct still
persists. Perhaps mankind takes to
the woods in summer for the same rea-
son. The groves We're mans original
abode, as well as Gods first temples.
But while the longing to get back to
nature at this season is nearly univer-
sal, the instinct for enjoying the Wild
erness is much less widely distributed.
While some persons are eXuberantly
happy at getting away from civiliza-
ton, others who fancy that they want
to leave the town behind are made
perfectly miserable by the lack of their
accustomed conreniences. The splash
of the water on the boats sides or the
hum of the reel to such persons is no
compensation for the lack of ice, OF
comfortable beds and rocking chairs.

There is no telling the lover of the
woods from the town devotee by his

the athlete may be miserable out OF

back to childhood. A person may be

This may account in part for The
diversity of feeling toward nature thai
exists so unaccountably among mer
