Oriqin Of Names.

In England the daw is hardly ever
mentioned but as Jack; yet daw and
not jackdaw is the proper name OF
the species. 1t Is suggested that tho
pie owes the mag" TO some corrup'
tion Of Margaret or Meg. To mag Is
to chatter, but whether the verb was
derived from the name or the name
from the verb Is q question. 1t is moro
probable that the timcrow Of America
(the old name for a negro boy) was
brought across from England In the
day when a crow was Jim as q swai
low was Dick.

Exclusion of Shells.

The experience Of the Japanese in
the failure of their shells to explode
is similar to that of the British. Lyd-
dite. the high explosive used by the
British during the Boer war, was sim
ply picric acid melted and cast into
the projectiles. While cast picric acid
is sufficiently sensitive to enable
shells filed with it to be fired from
guns with safety, it can only be fired
through moderately thin plate without
exploding from the shock.

N.Ray Studies.

Edouard Meyer finds that the vege-
table organism, as well as the animal,
gives off N-rays in varying quantities,
as may be made evident by the feebly
fiuorescent screen. The most marked
indications are given by the green
parts, such ~ stems. and especially
leaves, but a. emanatlons are feebly
detachable from the flower. On treat
ing tissues in active growth with the
vapor of chloroform, so as to slacken
their vital functions, the N-ray indi-
cations were correspOndingly less
ened.

Honesty In Iceland.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are SO honest in their
habits that such material defenses TO

two thefts.

i A prominent club woman, =
Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph,
Mich, tells how she was cured
of falling Of the womb and its
accompanying pains and misery
byLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
"DrAR MRS. PINKHAM:-Life looks
dark indeed when a woman feels that
her strength is fading away and she has
no hopes Of ever being restored. Such
was my feeling few months ago when
1 was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling OF the
womb. The words sounded like
knell to me, felt that my sun had set
but Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound came to me as an
elixir of life it restored the lost forces
and built me up until my good health
returned to me. For four months l
took the medicine daily, and each dose
added health and strength. l am SO
thankful for hehelp 1obtainedthrough
its use."-MRs. FLORENCE DANFoRTH,
