"Himalaya" was from the Captain of the
transport, and the Others speak for them
selves.
ONE might say, "Ah, yes foreigners,
- They always have long names" but
not entirely so. Out in the historic old
town of Reading, Massachusetts, dwells
man whose complete name IS as follows:
Vereneus Alanson Orlando Delstinien Galen
Hartshorn.
There is another man know He lives
in Lowell, Massachusetts. He is in the city
directory as az. H. Nelson One of the
men who got the names for the 1910 direc
tory there told me this.
"'Why don't you people print my whole
name?' Mr.. Nelson asked me.
awe are always glad to do So, | told
him. What is it?'
"Then he handed me this, Thomas Hill
Joseph Napoleon Horatio Boneparte Swim
dlehurst Nelson, and please spell the Bone
parte as have written it.
Il handed him a cigar and told him he
would have to see our advertising man about
space rates"
As far as know, this is the longest native
born name in New England, "Amos Thomp-
son Richard Rufus Louis Jerome Napoleon
Bonaparte Hamilton Wiggin Harrington" ;"
THERE are other interesting names be-
sides the long and short of them; for
instance, palindrome names. There are sin
gle names that spell each way, and double
names and triple names that do not form
palindromes alone but as whole make up
the perfect palindrome Here are few:
Nebelow Woleben (Chicago), Hannah
Noon, Anna Roger, Hannah Mallam, Esrom
Morse (Charlestown, Massachusetts,, Nella
A. Allen North Berwick, Maine), DR.. O. l..
Lord, Nevah Anna Haven, L. H. A. Wahl
Germantown, Pennsylvania, Mary By
ram, Eli Gle and Eli Hile, Leon Noel (New
York;, Dora ALA Arod, EIDE Emme Tizzit
Ava Noon.
Then there is Bob Fettef, who is.agent
in Western city for something called "Re-
GAL" If you spell the Regal backward,
you will learn the sort of beverage he sells.
Preserved Taft, Pearl Button, Joseph
Came, Booze STILL Over Jordan, Sermon
Coffin, Christian Bonnet, Agreen Crabtree
John Sat, Sarah Shippers, and Hardy Bap-
tist are few of many score such names ac-
tually given by doting parents.
The so called appropriate names are more
than legion. There is a Groom who sells
wedding announcements, a Dr. Cutter who
performs nothing but appendicitis opera
tions, a Mr. Brush who gets his living by
one, a DR.. Pain who pulls teeth, another
whose name was Hurtz land he wisely
changed it to Hertzog). One could 60 on al
most indefinitely with such names. The
business division of every large city direc-
tory is storehouse for them.

CHURCH THAT GOES BY RAIL.
Chapel Cars in Remote Western
Districts.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
A black car stood on side track at the
Grand Central depot recently. At first
glance II resembied an ordinary Pullman
car. The name, Messenger of Peace. was
painted conspicuously on the sides. and
on one side these words: For God so
loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever beiieveth In
Him shall not perish. but have eyerlast-
Ing life.
Inside there was a pulpit, Bible. an
organ, hymn books and pews with seats
for 125 persons The car is one of six
gospel cars in the service of the Baptist
Church. 1t has been hauled over every
big railroad in the country.
1t is said that in gaining converts IL ID
ten times as efficient an ordinary
church. The advent of the car in some
OF the remote division towns Is an event
of Importance Scores of men from all
ranks of life who are strangers to
church eagerly attend services in chapel
car. The novelty attracts them.
The Messenger OF Peace is a church
that comes in a night. The inhabitants
Of the small villages where there are no
churches awake in the morning TO find
church and a minister at their doorsteps.
Revival services usually are started at
once. The children are entertained with
a graphophone, the gift of Thomas ~
Edison, which helps to fill the car at the
first services.
A Sunday school usually il organized
and suggestions offered for church.
Sometimes the car remains I'm the town
until the permanent church is started.

The Pies Our Mothers Made.
rom the New York World.

From the New York World.
With more than ordinary qualification
all Americans that are descendants from
colonial stock will note the statement of
the Medical Journal that pie. If properly
made, is not only a palatable but nu-
tritious food. exquisitely delectable and
easily digestible AS for those Americans
that have descended from races to which
pie is unknown, let them heed the words
of the Journal and learn how to make a
pie after the fine old manner when it was
served for breakfast and ushered in the
day with an ambroSial sweet.
The foundation of the pie is the pastry.
If that be heavy and sodden no luscious
ness of pumpkin or juiciness of peach
plum, cherry or berry can save the fabric
For the making of the perfect pastry
there is needed a hand strong, supple
skillful and subtle; the hand of a gentle
but firm woman, having an artists brain
and heart of hospitality. AS the Jour
nal says, "Digital strength is necessity
to the piemaker as to the pianist
The medical expert maintains that even
il the crust be spoiled in the making. the
pie may still be safely used as a food by
resoute chewing: but this we prefer not
to consider. The only real pie is the per-
feet pie the mothers used to make before
Americans knew the meaning Of dys-
pepsia. What a mighty race did America
breed when babies were fattened on pie
instead of stuffed with bran! And what
an enchanting array of delicacies fol-
lowed the months as the mince pies Of
winter gave way to rhubarb In the spring,
and blueberry in the summer. and so on
through the rich succession of fruits from
earliest currant to latest apple, until at
Thanksgiving the procession eliminated
in the suave pumpkin that fitted the stom-
ach for a resumption of mince at Christ
mas again, Those were brave pies; they
nurtured heroic souls.

Protection of Game.
From the Philadelphia Press.

FFoH tue IniiaoelPnlu tTfss-
Congress is considering the enactment
of federal Law that shall attempt TO
curb the ruthless destructon-m
the eventual extinction-of migratory
game birds. 1t IS very wise il dill-
tory measure. No man in the United
States is better equipped 10 discuss this
subject than Director Hornaday OF the
New York Geological Park, and he says
The way 10 have killable game of any
and all species i to protect the native
stock. and not allow IL TO be killed any
faster than it breeds: and whenever 4
species has been reduced 10 low point
give ii a long close season in order that
il may breed up TO Its original douhu-
ance
In a word, he indicates the choice be-
tween close seasons of I'VE years ana
close seasons of 500 years. Seven spe-
cies of North American birds have been
recently extermnated among them the
"a ssenger rigeon, the Labrador duck and
the Carolina parakeet: and as candidates
for early extinction" Or. HornadaN
names the golden piover. snowy egret
and pinnated grouse
DR. Hornaday is dead set against the
effort. that has been made to import and
acclimatize foreign game birds. He has
encouraged and yigilantly observed the
rearing in real captivity of quail. wild
TURKEY, beaver and Virginia deer. and his
conclusions are rather vague, yet sum
married. as above. One thing seems clear
TO the most casual mind: That we are
swiftly losing our game. The buffalo
has virtually vanished the wild turkey
is sought in vain: the prairie chicken Is
a thing Of the past and the poor sporadic
deer that may be shot east and west are
no longer At trophies for the rifle. They
come hungry 10 the slaughter. and TO
look into their gentle eyes with inten-
ton to kill is sheer assassination.
We trust very much that some fed
eral law governing the control of mgra-
tory birds Qoofed animals should be in
cludedD may be enacted.

True View Of the Magma Charta.
From the Chicago Evening Post.

rom the Chicago Evening Post.
Prof. A. F. Pollard in his little volume
entitled THE History of England, A
Study in Political Evolution''-one of the
admirable authoritative little texts in the
Home University Library-points out that
the popular mind has quite missed the
true character of the famous Magma
Charta. 1t has missed it by SO wide a
margin that, in Prof. Poilards opinion. it
is almost necessary. as a corrective, to
go to the other extreme and to show that
the Magma Charta was a "reactionary''
rather than a democratic document. The
great source of the error lies in the pro-
cess OF change which, he remarks, is al
ways insensibly, but sometimes complete
ly, Transforming the meaning of words.
That process is usually from the concrete.
which is the way men first think, to the
abstract
In this case it is the word liberty
which, by an insensibe change in mean
ing. has misled people. We quote Prof.
Pollard's comment:
Thus in 1915 liberty was the pos
session by a person or group of persons
of certain definite and tangible privileges.
such as having court OF your own with
ties attending the public courts of the
shire or hundred, of rendering the serv-
ices or of paying the dues to which the
majority were liable The value of a
liberty was that through its enjoyment
you were not as other men: the barons
would have cared little for liberties which
they had to share with the common herd.
To them liberty meant privilege and mo-
nopoly; it was not a general right to be
enjoyed in common. Now Magma Charta
is a charter not of liberty but of 'hber-
ties"
1t is true, he says. that the Magma
Charta contained some wholesome re-
forms, but he declares that it is utterly
absurd to regard IL as a popular achieve
ment or to assume that King John con-
ceded in those liberties anything re-
motely resembling modern liberty
This view Of the Magma Charta as. in
it's essence, a charter of special privilege
rather than one of general freedom.
should force the spellbinder to reorganize
his well worn voca bulary. Sticking to the
strict historical sense, our Magma Charta
would be-let's see, what would 1t be?
Probably it would be the charter of Dart
mouth College as construed by John Mar
shall in the too famous Dartmouth Col

Trivial Causes of Duels.

From The london Chronicle.
The trivialilies which led TO duels
in the old days were almost infinite.
Mr.. John Ashton mentions some OF
them in noting that by William Tvs
time public opinion was setting against
the practice. col. Montgomery was
shot In a duel about a dog. Capt. RAM

erston in one about recruit. Sterne's
father in one about a goose and some
instead Of 'artichokes.' One officer was
challenged for merely asking his OPP
ponent to have another glass, and an
other was compelled TO fight about a
pinch of SNUFF, while Gen Barry was
challenged by a Capt. Smith for de-
clining a glass OF wine with him at
dinner i'm a steamboat, although the
general had pleaded in excuse that
wine invariably made him sick at sea
