County Names.

County names III the New England
and middle Atlantic states are almost
exclusively of English or Indian origin.
In the border states of the south they
are chiefly English, in the gulf states
English and Indian, with French in
Louisiana and traces of Spanish origin
in Florida and Texas. In the Missis,
sippi valley they are again of English
and Indian origin, with some French
names coming down from the Jesuit
explorers. In the Rocky mountain
states they are again English and In
dian. with larger proportion of the
latter than elsewhere. and on the Pa
cific coast Spanish county names again
crop out. Texas has Deaf Smith
county. about the only instance of a
nickname having been fixed upon an
important political division. A pretty
fair history of the political and social
influences at work in the early develop
ment of state could be written from
study of county names.

Royal annals have never recorded a
more varied and extensive wardrobe
than that which belonged to the "vir-
gin queen" Even at the age of sixty
eight, when she might be supposed to
have outlived her youthful vanity, she
possessed 80 complete official cos
tunes, 102 French gowns. 100 robes
with trains and CT without, 1876 an
tique dresses, 1856 bodices, 125 tunics,
not to mention such trifes as SO man
ties, S5 dressing gowns and 81 fans.
1t is possible that she had an ugly
foot, for she possessed only nine pairs
of shoes, which, considering her ex-
travagances in other articles of ap-
parel, must have some meaning. At
her death 1900 articles were found
duly catalogued in her wardrobe which
had adorned her proud person.

barber asked, "Will you be offended,
sir, if l were to tell you your occupa-
ton and popularity Of yourself"
"Why, no." replied the wondering
customer. Lets hear it."
"Well. you are bookkeeper by pro-
fession, and you are left handed"
The young man gasped in astonish-
ment and asked the barber how he
knew these facts.
For awhile the barber refused to tell
the secret of his power, but he was
finally induced to clear up the mys.

said, because your hair is stained with
red and black ink back of your ear,
where you have been in the habit of
placing your pen. The fact that the
marks are back of the left ear show
that you are left handed, and the fact
that you use red and black ink shows
you to be bookkeeper and not clerk

The Name OF L0ndon.

The old name for the city of London
was Lynden or Llynden, meaning "the
city by the lake" An old tradition
gives us to understand that London
was founded by Brute, a descendant
Of Hneas. and that it was first called
New Troy or Troynovant. In the time
of Lud it was surrounded by a wall
and was then known as Lud's Town,
or C9r-Lud. This latter is probably
the correct version of the origin of the
name of London if for no other rea-
son because it is such an easy matter
to detect similarity between the ex.
pressions London and Lud's Town. 1t
is claimed by some writer's that there
was a city on the present site of Lon
don in the year 1907 B. c.. and it is
known that the Romans founded a city
there and called it Londinium in the
year 81 A. d.

A brush drags out the hair by the roots

brush gives gloss to the hair, and that's
what women like. But with a man a

A white ants nest is about the last
thing in the world one would expect to
be of practical service to mankind, vet
in Western Australia white ants and
their nests are put to a variety of eco
nomic uses.
In the first place, the aborigines
sometimes eat the ants, and there are
even a few white residents who have
tasted them for the sake of experience
and say they are not bad. But it is
not habit with the aborigines to eat
the insects. They prefer to devour the
mold out of which the ants build their
nest.
Capital ovens are frequently impro-
vised by the Australian prospector out
of these white ant mounds. They make
a solid floor, almost like cement, for
the settlers huts, and in the township
of Derby, in Western Australia, they
have been turned to profitable use by
being rolled in as a top layer on the
public roads.

A Criminal Paradise.

Spain's criminal settlement in the
Zafarina islands is said to be quite a
paradise of convicts. Their liberty is
restricted only so far that they must
not leave the islands and must return
at night to prison unless they obtain
leave of absence for the night. At @
o'clock in the morning the convicts
leave the prison. Some do a little
work, but the majority go straight to
the various wine shops and obstetrics,
where they pass the day drinking, sing
ing and occasionally breaking the
monotony of life with a little knitting
for each respectable prisoner carries
his ''faca" QSnife) day and night with
him. This idyllic state of things ap-
pears less strange if one considers that
the prison warders-the "capatares"--
are the liquor sellers of the islands and
that good deal of Illicit trading is
carried on in those places of resort,
the prisoners buying revolvers. ammu-
milton, housebreakers' tools and SINH

Intimate friend of the great maestro,

used to visit him at his palace at Gen
GA. One evening they were alone in
the great musicians private study,
having dined together, when the serv.
ant entered with the post. Among
the letters was a roll of music, which,
on being opened, proved to be a new
waltz by Viennese composer. who
had dedicated it to the great master
of the opera. Verdi first hummed it
to himself, swaying his head the time,
and afterward, seating himself at the
piano, played it off. Then, having fin
