Chickamauga and Chattanoo<a.

SAAcAam0u8a ana Chattanooga.
The word Chickamauga means
dull, sluggish stream" and it il
from the waters of the creek that
the Indians, who were among tho
most daring and warlike of all tie
tribes in east Tennessee, got their
names, says the Chattanooga Times.
The original Interpretation of Chat.
tanooga has long been lost. The gen.
eral acceptation of the meaning of
the word is "Hawk's Nest" said to
have been suggested by the valley
nesting in the shadow of the ridges
and mountain. Others say that the
word is derived from the name Clan
owah, given by the Cherokees to
small, warlike hawks that made their
nests in the cliffs of Lookout noun.

Music the Kernel of Welsh Nature.
Music is the very soul and kernel OF
the Welsh nature. \ musical ear is the
national birthright Every Welsh
preacher who migrates TO an English
church finds the greatest difficulty in
abstaining from that weird, peculiar
intonation of his sermon which is
known as the hwyl and which is often
strange and Objectionable to English
ears.
\ remarkable and subtle fact which
will be interesting to English readers
and at the same time significant of the
sensitiveness of the Welsh musical ear
10 that it is positive diseord to many
among the Welsh congregations if the
minister, in giving out the first verse
of the hymn, does not SO pitch his voice
that II shall be in harmony with the
key in which the tune has prelimina-
rily been played by the instrumentalist
Westminster Review.

Followed Directions.

A clergyman in New Jersey hired a
man to act in the capacity of coachman
and gardener One day the clergyman
bought bottle of horse liniment and
told the man to apply 1t to lame horse
according to the directions on the bot
tie
About an hour afterward he went to
the barn and found Silas industriously
dipping a spike into the liniment aud
then rubbing it against the horses leg.
eWhat are you doing that forY' he
asked.
The man looked up with a smile of
assurance. Because" said he, twas
what it said in the directions on the
bottle, but it's slow work"
You must have made mistake,
said the minister
Il have not answered the man in
an aggrieved tone. 1T says here on the
bottle, Apply with a large nail or
tooth BRUSH and, as | had no tooth
brush, | thought I'd better use this
SDike"

The Memory of Ants.

A remarkable fact in the physiology
of ants is their memory. The number
of ants that go to make nest is enor-
NOUS, yet they are all personally known
to each other and are able to recognize
members of their own community aft
err prolonged absence. Sir John Lub-
book kept one of these remarkably in.
telligent insects from its home for a
year. On its return the relatives from
whom it had been SO cruelty separated
recognized their wanderer and weleom-
ed it back, while an ant introduced
from another nest was most inhospi-
tably treated. even murdered and
thrown out.
