QUEER STREET NAMES.
One Feature In Which Brussels Out.
does London or Paris.

There are many bewildering street
names In European cities, and OF
these London presents bewilderlng
variety. Bermondsey possesses Pc
kle Herring street. Near Gray's inn
there is to be found Cold Bath
square. Most Of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden, ironically
enough, in the slums of the east end
Of the British capital
In Brussels some Of the street names
are really bizarre. The Short Street OF
the Long Chariot. the Street Of the
Red Haired Women and the Street or
Sorrows are remarkable enough 10
catch the least observant eye. The
Street Of the One Person is, rs one
might guess, an extremely narrow one
Put the cream Of the Brussels street
maine surely belongs to the Street or
tbe TncracLed Silver Cocoanut, This
il lie original appears as one ponder
ous word Of thiry.siS letters.
Tie 1000 inhabitants Of the Rue des
Mauvais Garcons signed a petition
praying that the name Of the street be
changed They contended that the de-
nomination of the thoroughfare in
which they reside produces bad i'm
preston on those to whom they are
obliged TO give their address.
This Street OF the Bad Boys was, 1t
appears. so named in the sixteenth
century because Of the noisy character
Of its inhabitants. But now 1t needs
no such designation. those who reside
there be.s for the most part peaceful
and respectable citizens.
Among the peculiar street names In
Paris may be mentioned the Street Of
the Little Windows. the Street of the
Mules Foot. the Street Of the Holy
Fathers. the Street of the Daughters
Of Calvary. the Street of the Dry Tree,
the Street of the Empty Pocket and
