OF Interest to the Young Folks
SINGULAR SURNAMES.
Directories In Cities Show Many Queer
Ones and Odd Combinations.

An examination Of any city directo-
~ will disclose the fact that many per-
sons have very peculiar surnames. Of
ten the combination of Christian names
and surnames will have a distinct
meaning in English. 1t is not uncom-
mon for citizens to ask permission OF
the courts to change or shorten their
names for this very reason. Charles
Dickens and many other authors de-
lighted in giving their characters
names which were suggestive Of the
type of man or woman represented.
Many Of these peculiar surnames
come from the English, where the odd
ties In names are quite marked. Lit
tlepage, Petterknight, Tiplady, Sweet
apple, Thickpenny, S~hortgraye, Best
pitch, Walklate. are suggestive of many
others which may be culled from a
very long list of IN Firm names
made up of w names having just the
opposite meanings are also striking. In
New York there is a firm of the name
of Bearup & Carryher, while Late q
Early and Day & Evening have also
conducted business together.

USE ODD PIECES OF LACE.
Available as Trimming For Under
clothes and For Other Purposes

Leftover pieces OF lace and odd
lengths can be used to trim under
clothes and to elaborate Jokes. collar
and cuffs sets, etc.
Mark one-half inch blocks with a
pencil on the goods you wish to trim,
then cut every other n Of the blocks
from the center to the corners and
turn back the points so that they form
an open square. Basic the pieces Of
lace back Of the squares and sew with
fine stitches.
One. two or three rows Of these blocks
may be used. according to the width
you wish the trimming to be. The
blocks may also be arranged in medal
lion forms.
This arrangement would make a love
ly trimming for a little girls dress.
The pieces of lace need not match, but
II laces of different mesh are used al
ternate them so that the pattern will
be kept uniform.
Charming negligees may also be made
by combining bits Of embroidery, lace

What Are Cork Legs2

One often meets with a description.
especially in some Of the older novels,
of men with cork legs, and upon read
ing the graphic accounts of some OF
these old sea dogs, for most Of them
we're sailors, one would naturally
think they had artificial legs made OF
cork.
But artificial legs are never made OF
cork. They do not get their name
from the material Of which. but from
the place at which they We're made.
This was not the city of Cork in Ire
land, but Cork street. of Piccadilly. in
London, which was the headquarters
for the artificial limb trade in the old
days.

For Our Women Readers
A PRESENT OF FLOWERS.
How They Should Be Gathered and
Packed to Keep Fresh.

Flowers should be gathered the night
before they are sent and placed In
tepid water In a cool room. Discre-
uon should be used in choosing the
blooms, for wide open blossoms will
naturally drop soon. Half open buds
are the best for sending by post, as
they will then open when they are
placed In water at their destination.
Cut them with a sharp knife, for II
the stems are severed by scissors the
sides Of the stalk are pressed together,
thus stopping the flow of the sap and
consequently curtailing the flowers
existence. All superfiuous leaves
should be taken off. as fresh foliage
must be inclosed with the blossoms.
The box in which the flowers are to
be packed should be a light, strong,
wooden affair, its size varying to suit
the length of the flowers hat are be-
ing packed. Small blossoms will keep
in a better condition il tied in punches
than packed separately. 1t is a mis-
take to think that flowers travel bet
ter IL packed loosely. They should be
placed close together.
Line the box with paper and then put
In a layer of foliage. Place the heav-
lest blooms at the bottom so that they
will not crush the more delicate flow
ers. Tissue paper should be used In
preference to damp moss, for this Is
apt to become heated and absorb the
moisture of the flowers. Flowers will
generally travel quite safely without
the aid Of either Of these, the damp
foliage keeping them cool.
Unpack the flowers at once when
they arrive and cut the ends Of the
stalks. Then place them In warm
water In a cool place. Hard stalked
blossoms, such as roses, should have
the ends split so that they a absorb
the water more easily. Should the
flowers be faded hold them in steam
for a few minutes or place the ends
of the stalks in boiling water. This
revives them wonderfully.
Care should b. taken when various
species OF flowers are being packed
together that they are suitable, for
very heavy blooms spoil the fragile
ones

Sermons In Little Paragraphs.


You cannot do right till you are
right.
Morally speaking, every man Is his
own ancestor.
An ounce of helplng's worth q pound
Of preaching.
True recompense lies in loving, not
In love returned.
A permanent peace follows only the
victory v e self.
Be merciless toward sin but very
merciful toward the sinner.
Virtue grows strong under the tute-
lage Of temptation overcome.
No religion helps you that doesn't
help you help your neighbor.
It's not enough to denounce the
false-proclaim the true.
Giving doesn't mean only gold and
silver-give the best Of yourself.
A retentive memory is excellent, but
the power to forget some things is
better.

1t is announced that a man has pat
ented an unsuitable ship with a chain
of air tight compartments surrounding
the hull above the water line, says
Parsons Weekly. Experiments with
a model showed that the tanks kept 1t
afoat even when the whole hull was
filed with water.
II is a well known fact at the patent
office that every great disaster, such as
the Titanic wreck. causes a sharp in
crease in the number of new inventions.
During the past few weeks several
new bullet proof shields have been pat

Some time ago there were no fewer
than three successive cases of people

when @ IL was struck by the steamer

The result was the invention and
adoption Of the life saving helmet

wonderfully beautiful tree-t must be
a lady tree cause It can talk-you
know ladies' a talk, Mick, and some
times they can say, oh, such nasty
things. Well, this tree doesn't care for
her name. I don't see that a name
matters much. Poets have been fight
ing that put for years-'What's In a
name and "A rose by any other name
and all that sort of rot"
Mick's little ayes seemed to search
those Of his master.
"Now, my name Is a very good one,
I think-Josiah Frelinghuysen- Rather
long and a bit formidable, 1 admit, but
withal a good name; yet, Mick. I give
you my word that 1t was scorned last
night. / offered 1t to a certain young
woman along with all my worldly
goods, and-well, to put It mildly,
Mick, to spare your feelings as mine
were spared not, I guess you and I
can chum for awhile yet without fear

A slipper hit Frelinghuysen ON the
head. He surveyed it rather critically.
Rather a neat little foot that Mick.
We will take the slipper home and put
1t on the mantelpiece, and some day
maybe-who car tellICindsrella, my

naturally. "What say youf"

Tented, and a tiny scream came from
the talking tree. Josh went back and
once more peered up among the
branches.

"Josh, you're such an idiot" came
from the pink and white screen.
He bowed again
"And. what is more. I despise you
Yes, I do. I tell you. I despise you"
This. my dear Miss McCue, is only
repeating last nights conversation"
said Frelinghuysen. May I suggest
that you have already made that point
entirely clear to me?"
"Well. you put that ladder back
against this tree this very instant. I'm
coming down." she said.
He picked up the ladder and slowly
placed 1t against the tree.
"And. Josiah Frelinghuysen, do you
know what I'm going to do when I get
out of this tree and down on the earthf
You don't eh?" she continued. well,
