GROTESQUE NAMES.
Burdens That Innocent English Chill

cherishing grudge against their par
ents for giving them absurd or incon-
gruous names. 1t was most natural
that a demure and pretty girl in
north suburb should feel resentful
when she had to answer to the name
of Busybody, given in honor OF the
winner Of a race fifteen years before.
Among the names registered at SON.
erset House are Airs and Graces and
Nun Nicer, which were innocently
borne by two little girls who found
them most embarrassing in after years.
The appalling name Of Wellington
Wolseley Roberts was borne by
young man who, in disposition and ap-
pearance, was anything but militant,
and as little likely to win fame on
the battlefield, as his predecessors Ar
thur Wellesley wellington Waterloo
Cox and Napoleon the Great Eagar.
However, even these names, tnap-
propriate as they may be, are to be
preferred to Roger the ASS, Anna (sic)
Domini Davies and Boadicea Basher.

vent of another child is not always

of British parents has imposed on in

A certain professor of histology who
delivers lectures In one of the eastern
colleges Is not averse TO quiet bit OF
diversion on the side. as instance his
wife's discovery.

after his late arrival home, what are

1t is often matter of wonder how
flies get on to the ceiling. because to
do 50 they have to turn semisomer-
sault in the air, said Mr. Henry Hill
in the course of lecture delivered at
the London institution. A fly, said
Mr.. Hill, has a backward and forward
movement of the wings and can part
ly turn them round. in addition to
the up and down motion of birds
wings. That enables it to turn in al
most any direction. At the end Of
each one of a hy's feet there is a
white pad with about 1900 hairs on
it. Down these hairs are sent small
drops of gum. so that the fly is really
klued to the ceiling.

A CHu5T III SEA.

The Phantom That Boarded the Bark
Sea Flower.
The following incident is recorded
as Il true short story by an English
publication:
The Sea Flower, bark of some 400
tons. was in the early hours of the
23d of June. 1864, bound for Bristol.
England, under the command Of the
first mate, ner captain, John Ellis.
having been left behind at Kingston,
Jamaica, suffering from yellow jack"
1t was about four bells in the middle
watch tor Il. M when the mate, who
was standing near the pinnacle giving
the helmsman his course, suddenly be-
came aware of mysterious presence
in the waist of the ship. At the same
moment his companion clutched him
by the arm, and, pointing, shrieked'
Dye see him, sir!'
Before lie could reply the mate be-
came aware that the dark shadow he
had just before observed had SO far
materiali2ed that it bore the appear
ance of Captain Ellis. The figure of
the captain advanced along the deck
and disappeared slowly down the com,
paniOn.
Recovering himself the mate left the
helmsman and hurried down into the
cabin, meeting, just coming out OF It,
the second mate, who told him he had
been awakened with start after
dreaming that the captain had come
aboard and was calling him. Both
men then made complete search OF
the saloon and the other cabins, but, II
is needless to say, without result.
Later it was found that Captain Ell
lis had died between | and 2 a. IN. II
che morning Of June %.
The story got about, and the ship OBJ
.ained a reputation for being haunted
consequently a difficulty was found II
obtaining crews. and in the end 1t wal
renamed and sold to foreign firm.

Falguiere, the sculptor. tells a capt.
Ia, story Of Henner. the great artist,

Henner was very keen critic aud
had clever way of showing his dis

whose talent as u sculptor is known
all the world over. was very fond OF
painting, but he did not paint particu-
lcrly well. One day Henncr was i'll

At the stop the only passenger quick,
