The Mermaid was the name Of fa-
nous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign Of Queen Elizabeth. All the
wit and talent of the time assembled
there for conviviai enjoyment. Au-
thors have made it the scene Of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare, Ben johnson, Beaumont,
Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Dome and
others of reverential memory. 1t was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin Of which is
ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located In Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares, so that 1t has
been often referred to In various ways
/ The Mermaid IN Bread street, the Mer-
maid in Friday street and the Mermaid
in Cheap street were, however. all one
! and the same 1t was the nearest
Bread street. The Mermaid was de
stroyed In the great London fire. There
| were other Mermaid taverns, one In
Chcapside and another in Cornhill, but
they had no such associations as clune
to that Of Bread street.

The word bogus is said by DR.. Ogil-

name of notorious American swindler
who about the year 1885 flooded the
western and southwestern states With
counterfeit bills. sham mortgages. etc.
Others connect the word with ''bogy, n
scareerow or goblin, and so applied To
anything fictitious or chimerical.
Lowell in the "Biglow Papers" says;
II more than suspect the word to be Il
corruption of the French bogasse."

MOTHERS ATTENTION!

From a Canton, O., Mother.

Il wish | could induce every
mother who has a weak, sickly child
to try that delicious cod liver prep
aration, Vinol. Our little daughter
was pale, thin and sickly. She had
no appetite and no ambition. 3
I'VE tried various medicines, but
without any benefit whatever, and
she could not take cod liver oil or
emulsions, as they nauseated her
and upset her stomach.
Learning that Vinol contains all
the medicinal and strengthening
properties of cod liver oil, but with
out the disagreeable oil, and tonic
iron added, we decided to try it, and
the results were marvellous. 1t gave
her hearty appetite; s the color re-
turned to her cheeks and she fs
stronger and in better health than
she has been for years. e
Il cannot say enough in favor OF
vinol for weak, delicate children. =
