How Names Grow Up.

We have become so accustomed to
rolling the proper names in our geogra-
phies over our tongues as glibly as we
do our own that few Of us ever stop to
think how much Of history, political,
natural and religious, is wrapped up in
few syllables. How many towns do
you know that end In 'berg," burg"
"burgh" or Borough"
Take for the first one Edinburgh, for
instance. How came it by that name
instead Of Stumptown or Hardscrab-
BILE? Let us take the "burgh" out Of
the name first
"Burgh" means In England and Scot
land corporate town. All the English
towns that end in berry" "burrow,"
bury" borrow" ETC., have that end
ing from "burgh." In the German It
means a castle or fortified town. So
much for our "burgh." Then, in Edin-
burgh, it means the castle or town Of
whom or what? Here "Edin" In only
Edwin" shortened, and Edinburgh
the town Of Edwin. Taking this one as
a model, the study becomes easy and
interesting.-London Globe.

rising. but Nassik knew to an inch
how high they would come before
standing still for day and then be-
ginning 10 recede. Under his direc-
tions the elephants began work. Such
trees as they could uproot and such
logs as they could roll, together with
thousands of carloads Of smaller STUFF,
were deposited just below high water
mark. They piled banks high for FIVE
miles. For half mile back the forest
was stripped of limbs and vines and
logs, and the labor was finished two
days in advance
1T is well, my children" said Nassik.
The waters will take everything ut
their flood, aud then down at the
bridge they will see what they will see.
Let us now rest from our labors."
Down at the bridge there was no
fear as the food crept up. The -Goom-
tree was not bringing down enough
driftwood to tear raft from Its moor
ings. So 1t was for q week.
One morning when high water mark
was reached the chief engineer sneered
at the turgid flood. Two hours later
there was a wild alarm. The face Of
the waters was hidden by drift. Never
had man seen so much Of it. 1t came
rushing down like wall. Some passed
between the piers at first and went
crashing along, but presently there
was q swirling about and a wedging
OF mighty trees, and five minutes later
there was q block. In half an hour It
extended back mile, and the force Of
million horses was pressing against
1t. For a quarter Of an hour the handi-
work Of man withstood the strain Of
the elements. Then there was a crash
and a roar, and the current Of the
Goomtree flowed on as If man had
never been.
Kim Nassik had been whipped, and
he had revenged himself.

His Medicines. ana Hi. Death.

A reader at the Paris Bibliotheque
Rationale has dug up the prescriptions
for medicines which were ordered to
Prince Conde In his last illness. A
consultation of three physicians pre-
scribed "a syrop made of rice. marsh
mallow roots and sugar candles" and
blister to be applied night and morn
ing. The distinguished patient failed
to improve, and fourth doctor was
called in, who ordered ''tws 2inces Of
n preparation Of hyacinths to fortify
the heart and repair the exhausted
forces" followed by poppy water"
"syrop Of stag horns," "ipecachuana,"
'liquorice" and "mistletoe roots" The
prince lived through this treatment for
six months, when he died, according
to the death certificate, "of the malady.
from which he was suffering" 1t
doesn't make any difference now, but
1t is natural to hope he didn't die Of
anything worse.

There Is an American In London who
is rapidly learning English. He used
to ring the bell and call curtly for
"mucilage," Assiduous and willing at
sendants brought him everything you
can think OF from the "peerage" to
packets OF cigarettes, but never the ex-
act thing he wanted. At last the most
Intelligent Of the young men put tho
right question and got the answer.
"Oh, yes" he said and brought gum.
In America when you want to stick

you demand gum; 30 called, by lim-

4 Generates Good Manners, Good
Morals and Good Morning,


Every morning IL good morning to
one who is feeling WELL There is no
such thug as bad weather. There are
no blue Mondays or gloomy Sundays to
any one who Is living the right sort of
life.
The good cheer Of health, combined
with a pure life, serves to turn every
iaSrning into good morning and every
evening Into q good evening.
The best way to wish any one good
morning or good evening is to set be-
fore him the example Of right living,
for 1t is through right living that good
morning and good evening come.
1t is of no use to say grace over a
badly cooked meal. The grace will not
make 1t agree with the stomach. There
Is no use to say good morning or good
evening unless we do the things that
will make good morning and good
evening. II is. indeed. good morning
for any one who has done an honest
days labor at some useful employment
and has found eight hours Of sound and
refreshing sleep. or course, It Is good
morning when one docs that. There IL
one thing that Is needed. and that is to
get right or to become adjusted to ma
ture.
We like the weather when we are ad-
1usted to the conditions about us. There
is nothing wrong with the weather
The blame Is with ourselves. The
anaemic, nervous woman shudders at
the touch Of the spring zephyrs which
would be refreshing and grateful to the
healthy person. The constant fear OF
drafts, repeated dread of exposure to
cold or heat are symptoms OF bad
health. II we would behave ourselves
as well as tho weather does there would
be no cause for complaint. 1t Is re-
freshing to come into the presence OF
the man or woman who can honestly
say good morning. good afternoon, good
evening-who can soy 1t In such way
that you feel that they mean Il.
Good feelings are contagious. An ex
cess OF vitality is catching. Good hui
NOR that bubbles over, that cannot be
restrained even in the presence of un-
congenial company. is wholesome and
healthful.
Lots Of good red blood Is conducive
to good manners, good morals and good
morning. Any person who can honest
ly say good morning has had q fairly
decent sleep the night before. A hearty
good morning is certificate Of self re-
straint and clear conscience.
The devotee OF sensuous pleasure has
rarely the honest right to say good
morning. There ags No .gQQd mornings

Unappreciated Courage.

In the Tennessee mountains lived a
little hunter named Hiram Gates. Al
though small In size, Hiram was noted
for his bravery for miles around in that
section Of the country, where courage
was common asset. Once while hunt
Ing he tracked bear to a small cave.
Now, man hasn't one chance In a
million fighting a bear In close quar-
ters, but this fact didn't deter Hiram
for minute. Throwing down his gun,
he put his knife between his teeth and
crawled into the dark hole after the
animal.
BY the greatest Of good fortune he
succeeded In killing 1t, for the reason
hat the cave was so small that the
bear couldn't turn around to defend
himself. Otherwise there probably
would have been different story.
Hiram skinned the bear and then
went home, where he explained the
manner Of the killing to his father.
The old man listened quietly until the
tale came to an end and then, In a
high pitched, quavering voice, said:

livered some rather notable orations
on the field. The duke would not have
1t. The proclamations you read Of In

In the papers than by the soldiers-they
were meant for Paris" 1t was all
right, the duke agreed, to address q
regiment upon presenting II with col

whole. French troops might be more
impressed by a speech than the Eng

At this eason of the year there
are always people who believe that
they can save money on Christmas
presents and winter supplies in gen
eral by sending off, for them. The
big catalogues of the mail order
houses are carefully scanned, the let
ters written, the money orders pur-
chased, and the family begins to
watch for the express wagon at the
gate. This practice takes out of the
city hundreds of dollars every year,
but that would mean little if there
was any saving to the victims of this
practice. The only benefciaries are
the merchant princes, Uncle. Sans
