Eaat Indian Aerohatn.

The wandering acrobats of India, says a writer in the Wide World, are recruited from @ low caste of people called ''Dombaranos," who live by this profession alone The children are trained from their earliest childhood and do not receive any education in schools. They travel from village to town and give their performances, which are really wonderful, in the open air before crowds of onlookers. Their tricks are quaint and sometimes aston 4sh1ngiy clever. Supported by one an other. these men will balance them selves in crazy kind of pyramid rising fifteen or twenty feet from the ground, and one of thear number will then climb this living pyramid with heavy weight in his teeth. Babies not yet able to walk are often seen being made use of in the most dangerous manner during these performances. Rajahs and rich Indians are very fond of the acrobatic displays and engage the best of the men to perform before their guests at entertainments.

How Names Are chansed.


 There was a curious transformation of names among the refugees who hocked to England after the revolu- ton of the edict of Nantes. Many of the Huguenots translated their names into English, sometimes with a slight alteration of the sense. Boileau be came Drinkw1ter; Delamere, Bythesea Jonfemme, Prettyman; Loiseau, Bird Lefevre, Smith; Dubois, Wood, and Sauvage, Savage or Wild
 Some names became so corrupted as to be unrecognizable. Chapuis became Shoppee; Beaufoy, Bofin, and Condo, Cundy. Similar havoc, though on 8 less extensive scale, has been played with English names in France. Ma zarin's successor, Colbert, descended from an Englishman named Cuthbert, and the real name of the famous art 1st who decorated Versailles was not Le Brun, but Brown. And we may counter that with the Tolfers, who are the TaAlefers of France.
