English Names.

Puzzling enough to an American is
the English fashion Of spelling a name
one way and pronouncing 1t in quite
another, but the cities are even worse
than the individuals, since they deliber
ately adopt some alias. The town of
Hull, for instance, Is Kingston-on-Hull
1t has no official recognition as any
thing else. yet as Hull it is known to
nine out of ten, who would wonder If
Kingston-on-Hull was near the town Of
Hull should they hear it mentioned.
Even supposedly respectable cathedral
towns are not above hiding identity,
and to call New Sarum salisbury" is
to give it its alias. The royal town Of
Windsor is really New Windsor, and
the county of Hampshire, popularly
shortened to Hants, Is in reality the
county of Southampton. Bradford-b
the-Sea is more correctly Morecambe,
but rightly Poulton lie Sande, while
Bridlington, sometimes called Burling-
ton. is more popularity Wakefield by the
Sea.

"On1y Me-"

There may be world Of pathos and
even Of rebuke in a very few words,
and so the rather thoughtless wife Of

ly. She has two sweet little children,
both girls, and, almost without know
ing 1t, she made pet and favorite
of the younger and prettier child.
"Sweet," as she called her, had every
care and attention lavished upon her,
and good natured neglect was more or
less the portion of the elder.
The mother was sitting in her bed
room quietly reading recently when the
soft patter of tiny feet soWAded on the
stairs.
"Is that you, Sweet?" she called.

Muscles,

Many muscles are located at con-
siderable distance from the point where
their force is to be exerted and are
connected with the point Of operation
by slender strings or tendons. This is a
provision Of nature solely for conven-

is concentrated in the hand and foot
were located In the hands or feet these
