Two Odd Place Names.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal gives an interesting
explanation of the origin of two queer
names of places. The mountains of
Kentucky afford many queer names of
streams, peaks, towns and villages,
but perhaps none are more remarkable
than Kingdom Come and Why Not.
The first of these is the name of q
stream in Leslie County and is taken
from the Lords Prayer. The second
is the name of small postoffice in the
county and originates from the old
song, "Why Not Tonight" 1t is said
that an interesting religious revival
was once held in this locality, at which
this song was sung a great deal, and
the people became so carried away
with the music that the place was ever
afterward called Why Not.

MANY USES OF BAMBOO.
Wonderful Japanese Plant Could De

Wonderful Japanese Plant Could De
Grown in This Country.
The word bamboo suggests to most
Americans a faithful fishing rod or a
dainty fan, says the National Geograph-
ic Magazine. To the Japanese and
Chinese, who are the most practical
agriculturists in the world, it is as in
dispensable as the white pine to the
American farmer. They are not only
dependent upon it for much of their
building material, but make their
ropes, mats, kitchen utensils and in
Vulnerable other articles out of it.
There are many varieties of the
is woven into mats to the tall bamboo
tree which the Chinaman uses for the
mast of his large boat. One variety
is cultivated as vegetable, and the
young shoots eaten like asparagus, or
they may be sailed, picked or pre-
served.
The rapidity of growth of the bam-
boo is perhaps its most wonderful
characteristic. There are actual re-
cords of 4 bamboo growing three feet
in a single day, or at the rate of one
and half inches an hour.
Varieties of bamboo are found every
where in Japan, even wher there are
heavy falls of snow in winter. 1t is
popular misconception that bambooS
grow only in the tropics. Japan is
land of bamboos, and yet where these
plants grow it is not SO warm in winter
as it is in California. Some of these
varieties could be grown commercially
in the United States.

Because my brain might adde!

And yet, of course, they ought to know
Still, can't help but wonder
Al some one rocked them years ago
When folks were apt to biunder.
They stand around me, looking wise,
And say they must not pet me;
A gentle pat to soothe my cries
They clam would further frct me.
My raising must conform to law
Down to each jot and title
Did people hold them off with awe
When they were bald md little?
They say that bouncing me il sure
To make me very nervous, z
That chlldrens frames cannot endure
Such sadly thoughtless service. -
Yet these ph.egmatic scientists,
Ere they began to todole
Were bounced until their chubby fists
Played tattoos on the noodle.
When stretch out my willing arms
Inviting them to frolic,
They rise in wondering alarms
And talk of Group and collie
It's hard to be baby now;
They will not pet or jump us,
And when | sleep, my peaceful brow
Must lie straight with the compass.
When | grow up, of course I'll be
A triumph scientific;
But really it seems to me
My hard luck is terrific.
If | could only speak my mind
But then they would not thank me,
One Unframed custom they would fil.d-
They still think they may spank me-!

The Old virginia and the Vermont.

A Washington paper falls into a sin
gular error when it says i'll its account
of the launching of the battleship Vir-
ginia, at Newport News, that there
was a Virginia building before the Civ
il War, whose name was changed to
Vermont on account of the sentiment
which that conflict engendered. The
Vermont aud the Virginia were dis
tinct ships. Both were laid down at
the Charlestown Navy Yard, but the
Virginia was never launched. The
Vermont was put into the water long
before the Civil War, and remained at
anchor, a mastless hull, for years She
is, or was, quite recently, afioat, serv-
ing for many years as receiving ship.
The Virginia remained on the ways in
one of the ship houses at Charlestown
for more than a generation, until she
was broken up as SO much old timber
long after the Civil War.-BoSton
