 The program of the German Navy League recently demanded the con. struction of six new large armored cruisers to replace six of the present protected cruisers. The Berliner Tage- blatt makes the announcement that a bill for the carrying out of this pro- posal is lying fully worked out In the German Admiralty, and will be laid before the ReichstHg in the session which opens on November 1. The cost estimated in the bill Is $50. 900. GOO. The existing cruisers, when replaced. are to serve as school and training ships The information must. how ever, be accepted with. some seepticism. as 1t is highly improbable that de- mand of this importance would be made from the Reichstag simuitane- ously called on to reform the imperial finances in a sense of the strietest economy.
 A quaint competition was entered on about a year ago in Lichterfeld-East. an outlying district of Berlin. Its ob- ject was to discover the egg-laying hens, and the prize was . sum of s2so. given by the Crown Princess Ceeilio. The competing breeds were Minorcas, wyandottes and Rheinlanders. the last being a cross between the other two. A couple of purely Teutonic breeds also took part in the competition. Vtc- tory fell to the Rhelnlanders. each of the breed having laid an average of twenty-four eggs monthly during the nine or ten months the competition lasted This Is no contemplate per. formance when compared with sthe forty eggs per annum laid by theS or- dinary German hen. The food given during the competition was alternately corn and soft food, such as bran. pull verized dried fish and maize. The mortality among the soc competitors was only 10 per cent.

 In origin. this is a nickname from the Irish and Gaelic cas, "curlys haired" cognate with the old Slovenian kosa. Lithuanian kasa, Old Morse and Old High German har. Dutch and Ger man haar, AngIo-Saxon haer. English hair. wh ich defines the others.
 The Huguenot Case and Cass have still a different origin. They are To- cal surnames derived from the French de la Casa. "of the house." indicating or manor. This is from the Latin casa. "a house. home" from a radical kat. to protect. sh elter. cover" The sur name is cognate with the Spanish sur name de las casas and the Italian. della Casa. also with Casabianca (''white- house"), Casanova t-new- house") and other historical surnames.

 Brooks, Brooke.
 The surname Brooks is of local ori- gin, indicating the one who lived at the brook" or "by the brookside."
 The surpame is. common in all parts of England except north of Lanca- shire and Yorkshire, and is most fre- quent in Lseicestershire, Rutiandshire. Lincolnshire. Somersetshire and Buck inghamshire. Brook Is especially fre- quent. in the west Riding of York shire. .f...... .
 The "s" of Brooks Is sometimes ex- plained as due to- pluralization. but seems more likely to be the geBitivai "s" so frequent in patronymics. It ie common in short names of local origin. e. g.. Briggs, Gates, Holmes, Riggs, Styles, etc. ,.....
 The Hundred Rolls have many such entries as de la Broke, del Brok, atte Broucke, ate 'Broc,, etc., all clearly att testing the local origin Of the name.
 The word brook is the Anglo-saxon brok, "a brook jrIyulet.", cognate with the Dutch, "marshlsnd," Old High Ger man brough, "Inarshy soil. swamp" Tn provincial English ''bEooks" is ''low. marshy or moory ground" The word is etymologieaily connected with break" and the earliest citation, of a cognate is the Rig veda x. ss. i: giribhrajasf urniayas. .'streamiets breaking from thegp1ountain.

Over Thirty-Five Years.

In 1872 there was a great deal of di- arrhoea, dysentery and cholera infan- tum. It was at this time that Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more successful than any oth- CT remedy or treatment, and has for thirty-fve years maintained that rec ord. From a small beginning it's sale and Use has extended to every part of the United States and to many for eign countries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend it when their opin- ion is asked, although they have other medicines that pay them greater pro- fit. It can always be depended upon, even in the most severe and danger ous cases. For sale by Sam w. Duna- way, Druggist.

notes. As we drove about, leaving our
route to the will of the driver of the
carriage, we passed the office of the
Constantinople police, and that decid-
ed US as to what we should do with
the bag. We had little knowledge as
to the efficiency or honesty of the Con-
stantinople police, but we decided. as
the men say, to take chance.
The police official in charge, we
found, was very civil man who spoke
English well. He took the bag from
us and commended our judgment in
not leaving it with the proprietor of
the rug bazaar.
I'VE were about to leave CONSTANT
nople, and the police official took the
name OF our Paris bankers and told
US that he would return the gold bag,
with all its contents, TO us in Paris
should he be unable to find the bags
owner within a stated time. AlsJ he
took our address in Constantinople, so
that he would be able 10 notify US in
case he found the owner of the bag
Immediately before our leaving. We
were a bit dubious as to these terms,
but as we had taken the chance we
had no other choice but to accede to
them. 4
