Euphonious and suita bic
names of Indian, Spanish, or
French origin should be reta med
Names suggested by peculiar
tiles of the topographic features
designated-such as their form,
vegetation, or animal life-are
generally acceptable, but dupli-
cation of names should be
avoided.
Names of living persons should
be applied very rarely, and only
those of eminence should be
honored. No personal names
should be attached because of
relationship, friendship or per-
sonal interest, nor should names
Of obscure persons be given.
Names of eminent men now
dead may be thus perpetuated,
particularly those of early ex-
plorers.
Long and clumsily constructed
names and names composed OF
two or more words should be
avoided. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that such names will not
be adopted by the public. If

Among other matters taken up was
the equipping of the city buildings

been under consideration for some time
the only question being as TO the best
escape to use. The board instructed
the committee to proceed at once to
put two escapes on the old central
building, one for the second story and
one Tor the third and also to equip the
two upper floors of the new hign school
building with ecapes.

CURIOUS HOTEL CUSTOMS.
Where Every Cuss Word Costs IA
Penny.

A curious custom prevails at an Edin-
burgh hotel, says Tit-Bits. Whenever
customer is heard to swear he is re-
Quired TO place penny in box on the
bar counter. 1t IL not matter for
surprise that the landlord hears much
less bad language than some of his fell
low publicans in the capital of Scot
land.
The following is a quaint idea for
providing funds for piCnlcs and social
evenings 1t IS carried on with much
success at an Ashton-on- Mersey inn ::
A knocking club" is connected with
the inn, and Wien a customer calls for
refreshments he is expected TO knock on
the table or counter before drinking. If
he fails to do this he is fined one penny.
Any one who wrongfully accuses anoth-
er of breaking this unique rule is also
fined The money thus obtained pro
vides funds for many enjoyable outings
and pleasant evenings during the course
of the year.
At another hotel known as the Old
one drink If one is not sufficient to
quench their thirst they are obliged to
go out Of the hotel and take a walk be-
fore they are allowed to have another.
TIL recently the proprietor of an old
time hotel in Warwick shire used to in
vite all his customers to accompany him
and his wife to the service at the parish
church on Sunday mornings, which was
situated on the opposite side of the
road, the house being closed while they
were away. On returning each custom
or was invited to partake of refresh
ments offered by the hospitable landlord
free Of charge.
Visitors to a certain hotel In Aber-
deenShire who wear brown boots must
remember to keep them in their room
over night. otherwise the boots will be

of the same. In one Of the rooms Of a

EMPTY HOUSES IN LONDON.
Fifty Thousand of Them Mt Present
Said to BE Lacking Tenants.

Fifty Thousand of Them Mt Present
Said to BE Lacking Tenants.
Fifty thousand empty houses in Lon
don John Burns made this startling
announcement in the house Of commons
recently, says Tit-Bits. Large as this
number is there are those who believe
it IS under rather than over the mark.
A remarkable change has taken place
during the past five or six years.
Whereas, formerly landlords were mas
tiers Of the situation, tenants have now
the whip hand in nearly every district
and are offered all manner of induce
ments to take houses.
1t IS not long since that premium
or, what amounts to the same thing,
key money"-was demanded by prop
erty owners in some parts Of London.
Today numbers of such men will act
ually allow tenants a discount, which
consists In the case of small property
Of the expenses Of removal up to IL,
or else of so many weeks occupation
free. Usually no rent IS required for
the first fortnight, but in certain To-
calities the competition between prop
erty owners Is so keen that the period
in some cases is one month, making the
discounts about e IS or e. 5s.
A more curious bait IS free insur-
ance. One company gratuitously In
sures each of its tenants against fire;
while another. besides safeguarding
the householder against this conting-
ency, relieve him Of apprehension re-
speeding any damage to his furniture
by lightning or food.
Certain separate charges have also
been swept away, particularly In the
case Of flats, which, it is said are now
a drug in the market. Some landlords,
for instance, made one for the clean
Ing of the common staircase, this, with
the extra" for gas, amounting to
about Is Cd per week. The IS pence
was really rent and the reason 1t was
not called such was partly to evade
payment OF rates. When-this is an
actual Casa man owned about fifty
fats and returned their rent as 10
pence per week each less than it really
was. his assessment was considerably
lower than ii ought to have been, and
consequently he did not pay his due
proportion Of rates. But, Of late tex
tras" have frequently been cut to the
amount formerly set down as rent"
