A similar fate befell the request
to change the name Of another inn
from the Royal Oak to the Rad
stock. In this ease the chairman
Of the committee took the ground
thss Lord Radstock, as an eminent
philanthropist aad a Christian man,
might object to the use Of his name
for a house in which liquor was
sold. This argument carried the
day. Thus the same authority held
it to be discourteous to a philan-

TO a licensed house" and discour-
teous to the heir to the throne to re-
move his name from a licensed
house.-Chicago Record-H Herald.

1t is a curious fact that the low
est atmospheric temperature ever
recorded BY the thermometer was at
a point almost directly over the
equator. A balloon equipped with
a self registering instrument was
sent up from the shore of Victoria

rose to a height Of twelve miles. The
temperature at that height was
nearly 119 degrees below zero Fab

A case Of misquotation that has
become chronic is revealed By q
passage In Habakkuk. The passage
really reads, write the vision and

Another instance Of rewriting a
quotation into something Of entire
" divergent meaning is afforded by
the passage from Buffers ~Hudi-

misquoted that into "a man IN

was convinced could possibly be Of

lily Returned to IT,
PerciVal didn't like his name, and
neither did Perciyal's father, but
Perciyal's mother had a say-so in
the matter, and that ended it.
Percival wished, now that he was
twenty years Of age and a rising
young bank clerk-or one who
wanted to rise, at least-that he
had been named George or Henry,
these names being far more digni-
fed and substantial as to sound.
Perciyal's father wished that Per-
cival had been named Alexander
junior, but he did not voice this
aloud, and nobody at the time Per
ciYal had been named seemed to
think how appropriate it would
have been to name him Percival
Alexander, Jr.
Thus things had rocked along for
twenty years, during which Perciyal
had been the butt and mockery Of
his fellows. He had been cured Of
parting his hair in the middle and
Of smoking cigarettes, and now, a
fairly steady youth, he had almost
reached mans estate with this un-
happy name hitched to him.
He invariably signed his name
P. c. Roberts or P. Clayton Rob
erts and encouraged people to call
him by his middle name or, failing
in this, to at least make it @P- c."
His mother wal Wroth at this IN

Percival stuck to it. He would have
no Percival in his. He went fur

mate friends to call him Sandy.
Then one day he changed. His
mother found some new engraved
cards in his room reading PerciVal
CLAYTON Roberts and marVeled, even
while she was glad When his
father heard Of It he was indignant.
But PerciTal enlightened them not.
But Uncle William did. He view
