words on the subject.
The petition reads, "a half holiday every
Thursday, to from the goth mat.
to the 10th December 1908" and not everv
Thursday, as "Veritas" has it.
l am also glad to inform you, tina, more
signed in its favor, than those against il.
and on that, the half holiday will be an es.
tablished fact. Unfortunately, the SIS. Guiana
loading her cargo here on the goth prevent
ed the closing on that day; The next day, has
been fixed for the 9th inst. when all the
principal stores will give the half day.
J see no reason, for any Intervention from
the Revd. Gentlemen, nor do ] consider:
that it is right to ask Government to com
pei any one TO close his place of business.
against his will, either Sunday, or Thursday,
and it shall have no support from me.
The half holiday asked for, the parties con-
cerned can easily arrange between them.

therefore see no reason, in "Veritas' " letter
but that it gives him a chance, to get a
whack at the everlasting Country Shop"
question, which plays an important part
therein, (Which is now taking our breath

but the town wants its holiday on Thurs
day, that won't suit The country, anyone then,
if he will only stop to think, will see, that
the Tow and country holiday can't be on

London, August 22nd-The Daily Mail

agreement has been arranged.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle has received a letter from Mr..
Lloyd George stating that his visit to Ger
many is exclusively concerning its admirably
organized pensions system, and is unofficial.
A despatch from Amsterdam states that fifty
men have been sent to reinforce the garrison
at Willemstad, Curacao. The Royal Dutch
West India Line has discontinued it's Venezue-
Ian service, alleging quarantine obstacles; the
manage denies that it is in consequence of
fear of Venezuelan molestation. The Dutch
press and public are calm, and nothing is
expected before N. De Reus reports and
Venezuela answers. 1t is conjectured that q
blockade will be established. A Paris tele-
gram says that France abstains entirely, but
is a sympathetic spectator of Hollands COM
petent action with the United States approx
al. France regards a blockade as preferable, as
a land expedition would unite the Castroists
and the opposition.
\ telegram from Sydney states that Ad-
miral Sir Harry Rawson, the Governor of
New South Wales, has given a state banquet
in honor OF the officers of the United States

From a report in the (. ZnonB ZIdende
OF a n meeting Of the Colonial Council on the
9th inst. we learn that All additional Money
Bill to the Budget for the current fnan-
cisl year was introduced, one of the items
of which was. Frcs. 1900 $4,000 for awards
for catching rats and mice, 2 cents being
paid for each rat and one for each mouse,
The following remarks are appended to the
item
This proposal, which has come forth in
accordance with wishes from the Sanitary
Commission, originates from q realization Of
the fact, that the rats and the mice are such
q general nuisance and besides the most inn
portant bearers and sprenders Of the conta-
gion Of tho bubonic plague. Consequently
they are q danger for the general state of
health, so that the war against them should
be made systematically and effectively, en-
outraged and controlled from tue Authori-
ties. The most effective way to carry on
this war is to award prizes, for the catching
Of the obnoxious animals, which prizes, as
nm experiment will be put to for q rat 10
bit and 5 bit for u mouse. Furthermore it
is proposed to pay half of these amounts to
q responsible man for the control with and
the destruction Of the animals.
If the remedy should prove effective, it
can later on be taken under consideration
to e1 end the grant" !.
st. Thomas is q port, with some shipping
business stall, although nothing in compa
rison with the"good old days" when doub-
looms that had been landed from the Span
ish schooners were occasionally wheeled III
barrows from the wharf to the Colonial
Bank. 1t is therefore very necessary to be
on the look out there, and it is wise to be-
gin on the destruction of the rats at once.
without waiting for possibilities, which, of
course, We most earnestly hope may never
arise. Our st. Croix rats, for the present,
baye only attracted attention here and there
from those who suffer from their depreda-
lions, but perhaps their turn for a general
attack may come q little later.
It has often been asked why botanists use
Latin names, and frequently long names, for
the plants which they describe instead of
using the w-ll-known names In the language
of the place where the plants occur. The
answer is simple enough, and is this, that the
local names are not in reality tceH-kno,cn.
Such a name for a given plant is known as a
rule over a limited area only, and when used
elsewhere is sometimes used for a quite diff
ferent plant. An interesting illustration of
this occurs in an article onPara grass which we
reprinted from the Louisiana Planter, in the
Apis of the 10Th inst. where it is stated that,
johnson grass first came into Louisiana
some sixty or seventy years ago under the
name Of Guinea grass AS q matter of fact

 The eccentricities of the Gulf Stream sometimes set. the Atlantic crossing and scoastwise shippers spinning theo- ries. master of a Morgan Line freighter once reported to quarantine that the stream was running the wrong way at Hatteras. The reporter in charge of the Gulf Stream column saw the captain, and he said it was true that the stream seemed to be set- ting to the southwest instead Of the northeast. and he attributed 1t to the prevalent gales from the latter quar- ter.
 Now the skipper of the Hamburg American liner Deutschland, in from Hamburg. Southampton and Cherbourg. says he, was delayed because he had to buck ttfe stream, which was making about four knots, going in the proper direction, but with accelerated force.
 The Gulf Stream, according to the latest views of .hydrographic experts. is affected by persistent winds blowing either with or against 1t. The pre- vailing winds. light and strong, for the last several weeks have been from the southwest and south, and that is why the Gulf Stream has got faster gait on 1t. Captain Kaempff did not offer any theory on the subject as most Yankee shippers might All that he would say was that the stream was making about knot and half more than usual and that he was delayed about three hours. l.

JAPANESE LABOR UNIONS.
Movement which Had its Inception Tea
 Yemrm Ago.


 The movement to organize labor as- socia tions, like those found in the Western countries was started among the iron workers some ten years ago by men who proved later to be radl- cal Socialists. At first. writes E the movement seemed to be erninenfIy successful. but within year or tive the enthusiasm of these leaders cooled down, and. moreover, careless utter ances of these men brought about the determined opposition of the Govern. the nation. It was very unfortunate from the workingman's standpoint that they gathered under the leadership or these men who were sure sooner or later to incur the displsa1s,I1irs of ,,Sd RraSSdi have been quite different from what they are now. if both the workineEen and leaders had been more prudent.
 The original leaders. who seem te' have set themselves to this work msre- stones to get into the politics of the nation, or, at best. to further their so- cialistic propaganda, began to desert the ranks of the workingf1en when the latter realized the disadvantages of re- lying upon men who had q dinerehs as ... eIad selves aimed From this on there were many changes. Suffice to say that the percentaRe Of men enrolled in the or- ganization is very small, and that # Is fneficient as the means of protecting and furthering their interests.

Thus the Old High German word was loaned into the New Slovenian as mrha. Roumanian marvi, marfu and Magyar marha. with the meaning merchandise. etc"
 The opponents of the theory point out the diflculty in the vocalism of the word and the fact that the horse plays no part of such importance among the Italic peoples as among the East Eu- ropeans.

 Such entries in the early records as de Linches, de la Lynche. do Lynche. Attelynch Cat the linch1 and Uppe- lynch Cup the liach) attest the local origin of this surname.
 Lynch Is derived from the Anglo Saxon hlinc, which Is defined as "a balk or boundary of land, -an unploughed strip serving as a boundary between two fields" "a ridge of land" "1edge on the side of a chalk down." and "a rising ground, high land. hill. etc.
 A land charter of 93I says: "Thonne north ondlong thaes hlinches (Then north along this linch.l Provincial English still preserves finch in the sense of a balk or boundary. The same word is much better known in our golf links
 Among the numerous cognates we may cite the Gothic hlains, hill" Old Morse hlein, projecting rock" Old High German hleo. 'hiIl. grave mound" Latin clivus. hill" Greek klitos, Till. slope" and klimax (our climax) "a ladder Lithuanian szlai- tas. "a slope" Avestan .srito and San- skril cirtas tpalatai sibilant 'c"). "in- elined. sioping."
 The radical appears. in the Anglo- Saxon hlinian, old Saxon hlinon. Old High German (h)linen and English lean, which defines the others.
 Lynch then indicates the one who had his residence at or near finch.
 The surname was early transplanted to Ireland and there are gentry fami- lies bearing the name In counties Gal- way and Mayo. These belong to those exclusive families, originally fourteen in number, of Norman, Saxon or Welsh descent, known as the tribes of Gal way" A document in Listers office names William le Petit as the ancestor of the Irish Lynches. A large propor- tion of the Americans who bear the name are evidently of Irish descent as attested by the frequency among them of such sdistinctively Irish fontal names as Patrick.

Lnyrvern in Nevr York.

 A well known New York lawyer is quoted as saying that this summer there are 5000 young law school grad uates In the city looking for work Never has the supply been so in ex- cess sof the demand and the reason as- signed apart from the large increase in the annual turnout of the law schools. is that on account of hard times compromise Is preferred to litI- gation. That is bad for the lawyers, but not So bad for the country, and no doubt 1t is true that a young law yer gets some beneft from his training and experience even if he falls to es- tablish a connection and looks for some other kind of work. But for the mid dle-aged lawyer who has struggled and failed, the outlook is certainly any thing but bright. The number of young doctors graduated this year Is consid- erably larger. but more of them are ab- sorbed by the small towns. where there Is little legal work to be done.

Charles B. James. Memphis, Tenn Dear Sir and Friend: I regret to say that it is a fact that people were so heartless as to tell me that there was no cure in a home treatment for the drug habit, and I was almost per- suaded not to attempt relief, but I thank the good Lord I did not let them persuade me. for l can now say that by experience I know better, as I hove since taken a full course of your Hcme Treatment and am now getting along fine. l was away from nome at my Asons residence when Q took the treatment. When left home determined I would never return unless I went back a cured man. When l returned home I most certainly met the 'happiest wife that ever lived. She and my little eon. who is only 15 years old, were two of the happiest people in Camden when l told them that was all right and free from the horrible drug. When they saw their expression that they realized I was a cured man, and my gratitude to you for the relief received through your Home Treatment is inexpressible. Language cannot express how I feel in the way of appreciation of what has been accomplished in my case. My wife and children join me in wishing you all the success that can befall anyone on this earth.
 Hoping that some time in the near future I may see you. in order that you may contrast my present condi- ton with the condition I was in when you first met me. 1 am your friend.
