dazed, and pinched myself to ind out

if not tell me what is correct-Well,
I was afraid I was in government
building in Washington. That floor
was a beauty-it was so Immediately
clean and white and pretty. That is
the way they used to keep some of
those fine hotel lobbies in the big ci-
des. was wondering why the gov
ernment didn't furnish Postmaster
Purcell with sufficient amount OF
soap to clean up this floor every day
instead of only once a week. And then
why not enforce the splitting ordinance.
But there you are again up against one
of those dead letter town laws. Still 1t
wouldn't hurt to scrub daily instead Of
once a week. Why I have to take a
bath once day now. And I can re-
member when Saturday night was
known as tub night" which meant
that you were expected to bathe once
a week. But times have changed in
many respects. In the good old days
of Solomon Kinard I don't suppose the
postoffice floor was ever scrubbed and
men "chawed" tobacco and spat where
they pleased and there was no officer
and no law to molest or make them
afraid. But in this day of advanced
science and microbes and bacteria and
laws and ordinances and so forth and
so on it is all different.
Mayor Langford: Will you please
take notice that I received your no
tice through The Herald and News
that the old burned building near the
union station in Friend street was go
ing to be torn down and that I be-
lieved you were going to do what you
said. You did knock some of the props
out but the old thing is still sitting
erect and seems to be defying your
authority. Besides it is now really
dangerous to walk along that street.
Suppose some citizen or some stranger
should stumble and fall therein, it
would be impossible to avoid a snag.
Get busy, now, and have this eyesore
removed. Do it now. Don't keep talk
ing.
I feel constrained to suggest to The
Herald and News the advisability OF
changing the motto it suggested for
the town-"The city that does things"
to read: "The city that is always going
to do things-but never does"
The Id1er.

bark and play with me and yet I loved
that old dog. That is all right for me
but should not let my dog be a
menace to the health or the life of my
neighbor. That is the way it appears
to me.
Now, take the position of health Of
ficer. Do you suppose our health Off
Ger is familiar with one-fourth of the
laws pertaining to the health of the
town. Do you suppose that one-half
Of them he is familiar with are en-
forced. I am told there are a number
of cases of typhoid fever in town. It
is said there is always a local cause
for this disease. Have the sanitary
regulations been enforced. What does
the board of health say Of it. If you
keep your premises in good sanitary
condition and your next door neighbor
disregards every simple rule Of santa
ton you are just as much exposed as
he is and he has no legal nor moral
right to put you and your family in
jeodardy That is the purpose Of the
board of health and health officer. Are
the regulations enforced. I have
known to my sorrow when they were
not That is the purpose Of the law to
keep one man from doing violence to
his neighbor. In the little bit that
I get about town 1 can see every day
places right in the heart of the town
that seem to me would be good germ
and disease breeders and if they are
not then their signs should be taken
down. I have time and again urged
the importance OF cleaning up the old
town. If we should be so unfortunate
as to lose some half dozen of our good
people from typhoid fever then our
board of health and health officers
would play the d in having every
body get busy and put their premises
in good sanitary condition. Same as
to the dog ordnance When see
these conditions and note the indifer-
ence of the men I have helped put in
authority and whose salaries am
helping to pay, I really get mad and
would do some cussing if thought it
would help matters. The fellow who
does not regard the first laws OF
health should be made to move off to
himself and if he wants to kill himself
let him do it but he has no legal nor
moral right to jeopardize the health
and life of his neighbor, and his neigh
bor's family and to see that he does
not is the main purpose Of our board
Of health and health officer. BY the
way, that reminds me to ask who is
chairman of the board of health and
who is health officer. I could not tell
you for the life of me.

ELLA, ELLEN, PAMELA.

Good children have many pet names and
popular names like Ella. have many syno-
nyms, some prettier thar the original.
If we accept the theory that Ella is
identical with Helen, its meaning is Of
course: light, torch. If we take 1t to be
of Teutonlc origin, it's meaning is eve
more appealing to the feminine heart,
namely: Gift of the Elf.
AS noted in English and German mythol-
ogy. Elfs were supposed to be minor god
desses, influencing the life of men.
The Germans, as usual, have their own
explanation. They derive the name from
the old German word Erla, meaning,
Mistress" and according to them, Ellen
is only a pet name, like ELY.
Ell.n is Welsh and may be, after all,
Helen in disguise.
Ellen is Scotch, and Aileen or Eileen
Irish.
Lady Elayne was the mother of Sir
Galahad, "the noblest and purest knight
of the FOUND table" Walter Maps
''Quest of the Graal'' devotes many pages
to this fair lady.
Eileen O'Brin, Of Ireland, is famed in
legend as the victim of a cruel abduction
by the Norman baron. Roger Tyrrel.
Ellen Duglas is the heroine of Sir
Walter Scott's 1.-The Lady of the Lake"
one of the freshest of his masterpieces.
Tennyson wrote the story of Elaine,
''The Lily Maid Of Astolat,' in his beau
tifui "Idylls of the King"

CORA AND coRINNE.

Van Brugh's comedy, The Confederacy.
M. s. Thomas, beloved by Dryden, was
addressed by him as 'Corinna." Cora is
the name of a tribe of American Indians
in the state of ~Jalisco, Mexico.
"Corinne. with her full name Cor,nne
Bell de Brion. was long one OF Americas
leading child actresses. Born in New Or
leans in 1879, she played "Buttercup' in
Pinafore at the Boston museum when s
years old. At the age Of 6 she starred in
"Cinderella," and afterwards became
famous In all the old time comic operettas
whichever you name. Corinne, at one
time or another, played it's leading part.
Before she entered vaudeville, she played
in Mother Goose and Rogers Brothers in
Ireland" Her home is in New York city
now.
Flowering wreathes are Cora's emblem
and the seven muses. are sacred to her.
There seems to be authority for the
statement that the name Rowena (the
w is not sounded) is identical with
Corinna. She was supposed to be the
daughter of Hengist. the low German
chieftan. who founded the Kingdom OF
Kent. Rowenna is sad to nave married
the British Chief Vortigern.
Scott i'm ~"Ivanhoe" revived the name
and during the vogue of that novel MANY
English and American girls were baptised
ROWena.

BAD SPELLING CURED
BY SCIENTIFIC STUDY
First Aid for Mental Wrecks Is
Unique Work Of a
Clinic.
BY Arthur Holmes, Assistant Director
Psychological Clinic, University of Penn

Psychological Clinic. University Of Penn
s%ylvania.
A fine. healthy boy, IA years old, was
brought by a grade teacher in March,
University of Pennsylvania. for advice
concerning his chronic bad spelling.
The teacher assumed that psychology
should be able to find the causes of the
failing and advise ways for removing
it. From that time the psychological
clinic a continued its work.
The boy was three years behind his
proper school grade because Of his ex-
cessively poor reading and spelling,
though in other respects ne was nor
NAL. He read was as saw"
weather as water" His uncertain
look for some defect of vision. The
suspicion was confirmed by holding
several fingers before the boys face.
At a little distance he vas unable to
distinguishes the number with certain
ty. He then said that words frequent
ly doubled under his pen. An oculist
found that eac eye alone saw normal
ly, the power to fix the two upon a
single point was lacking. Glasses were
fitted and special teaching given for a
few months. From this time on he did
not fai! of promotion once.
The psychological clinic is best de-
scribed by comparison with the med
ical clinic. Both are to help the patient
as speedily as is consistent with the
best results in permanent health. Roth
must face conditions and not theories.
Their diagnosis, therefore, must be as
concise and precise as practical de-
mands and actual conditions permit.
Decisive action is often of the first inn
portance. In the medical clinic, life
may be in danger; in the psychological
clinic, mental health may be imperiled
because OF an already too long delay
to take proper measures. Delicate n
extensive laboratory tests are out of
the question except in special cases.
The immediate demand is for tests
already worked out. Finer tests with
complex apparatus are necessary in n
limited number of cases. Children who
waver between normality and SUBJ
normality sometimes present them
selves for diagnosis. They require the
comparatively good material and can
become efficient adults or dependent
and hopeless detectives, according to
their treatment. With them, no test is
too fine, no observation too prolonged
or too careful for a right decision. For
them the hospital school as an adj
.junct to the clinic is especially neces-
sary, and by it's means lives, far ex-
ceeding their cost, may be saved to
society. to say nothing of the relief
and positive happiness of friends and
relatives.
The psychological clinic has also q
purely scientific end. 1t aims at the in
dividual study of each child by the best
scientific Methods under the direction
OF specialists. The information so
gathered with all the material coming
from diagnoses by specialists in other
clinics, with the sociological report

I Probably the real name Of the original OF
Mary Morison,'' Burns celebrated poem,
was Ella or Ellen. but the bard addresses
her in his letters Ellison" She was g
farm servant. but he treated her like Q
great lady-on paper at least.
Yet Ellison is not q female name. It IL
probably derived from the Latin Of Elisha
which means "God OF Salvation in He
brew. The new testament turned Elisha
into Eliseus. From this sprang the male
name. Ellis. Ellison means ''son Of Ellis"
Selma, the Greek word for moon, is one
of the curious alternatives for Ella, both
meaning brightness.
Among the historical Selinas we have
the celebrated Countess of Huntington.
PAMELA is another curious elaboration
Of Ella.

novel invented 1t about $50 years ago and
though only a name Of literature, It still
has a certain vogue. 1t Is now some.

ardson's first novel and as indicated, the
first in the English language.
A solitary English authority mentions
the obsolete name Perlnellia, giving its
significtion as true friend, !" its emblem aa
forget-me-not, and its sentiment as true
love.
1t ounds pretty enough but authority ID
lacking.
Fennel is Elias emblem and valor her
sentiment.
