NAMES FROM THE BIBLE.
Odd Ones From the Old Testament
That Pleased the Puritans

A certain set Of Christian names
taken from the Bible have been In use
so long that we do not think Of them
as Bible names. Among them are
Adam, Moses, Samuel David, Daniel,
Solomon, Abraham. Isaac and Jacob.
Others taken from the saints. like
Peter, Paul, John, Stephen and Mat
thew. originally given to children be-
cause they were born on the saints
day, are still so common that we think
of them as English names
These names antedate the use of sur
names, as may be inferred from the
fact that nearly all of them have giver
rise to patronymics, like Jacobson,
Peterson and Stevenson. In the twelfth
century missionaries sent out by the
authorities used to baptize whole vii
lagos at once and to save time invested
all the men with the name of John or
some other saint and the women usual
ly Mary or Martha. To distinguish the
Johns some additional name like Short
or Strong or White or Black was given
him by the neighbors, and so Christian
names and surnames were united
After the reformation it became the
fashion among the Puritans to give
children the names Of characters like
the Old Testament, and odd ones like
Melchisedec or Barzillai We're pre-
ferred. Among these were Abel Levi
Jesse, Amos, Asa, Isaiah, Ephraim,
Gideon Malachi JOb Ahner Hosea
Ezekiel, jeremiah, Zechariah, Asher,
Eli and hundreds Of others.-H Hartford

an increase of 225, ,S59 members over

for whom tax was not paid. otherwise
the average membership would have

FIRST IN DARKEST AFRICA.
Mungo Parks Daring Plunge lnte the
Heart of the Continent


Mungo Park started out on his Afri-
can expedition-the first serious at
tempt that was ever made to explore
the dark continent on Oct. "A, 1895.
The lion hearted Scotchman. with two
negro servants, set out from Gambia.
sn the west coast, and plunged fear
iessly into the task which before him
no white man had ever attempted.
1t took a real man to plunge into the
unknown interior filed with tales of
the monstrous and the terrible. Huge
serpents, roaring lions. great black
cannibals, scorching heat, deadly fe-
vers- who would dare to challenge
these things? And so Africa remained
dark" until yesterday, as it were,
while Moses was battling with his
problem in the Arabian wilderness;
while civilization was maturing in
Egypt and Greece: while Roman repub-
lies and empires were rising and fall
ing; while the modern nations We're
coming into being; while crusaders
were fighting and troubadours sing
ing; while Columbus was discovering
the new world and Washington was
founding the United States of America.
But at last the man and the hour
met, and the son of the Sekirkshire
farmer took his brave leap into the
mystery. In the mystery he remained
q year and a half, when he reappeared,
returned to England and wrote TRAY
els In the Interior of Africa" a book
which is still one of the most interest
ing in the libraries of the world.
In the year 1906 Mungo Park started
on his second trip to the dark conti-
nent, trip from which he was never
to return. Resolved, with true Scotch
grit. TO discover the mouth of the Nj
ger or perish i'll an attempt" Park
pushed on through the pathess forests
until he reached point between and
10 north latitude, where in attempting
to make his escape from the natives,
who were about to kin him. he was
drowned in the mighty stream, which
should be accepted as his most fitting
monument.-R Rev II. b. Gregory in

BY the terms Of the award of the
Ooard of arbitration appointed to set

railroads and their conductors and

proximately per cent as against about
81 per cent asked by the men. The
payrolls of the forty-one roads con-

granting of the workers entire de-

The board estimates that this win In

be divided among nearly 100000 en-

MURDERED BY A MOTH.
A Curious Case and tho Evidence Upon
WhioNft Was Decided.

In olden times ii was not rare for
animals to be accused and convicted OF
various offenses and given judicial
trials. but there Is a more recent case
recorded, In which a moth was proved
to have been murderer 1t was the
case OF the Princess Caravella, at Ma
pies. After giving a dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch few
minutes Of rest, in order to refresh
herself for a dance
She was discovered lying dead on her
bed, with pistol wound In her heart.
Her husband, Prince Caravella, had
been noted for his jealous disposition
and as 1t was certain that no stranger
could possibly have been In the prin-
cess room suspicion pointed to him.
and he was arrested.
The pistol was found lying near the
murdered woman, which In itself was
favorable to the prince, for no muir
derer, unless he courted detection,
would thus leave the weapon to be
discovered. In spite OF this, II was
probable that things would have gone
hard with the accused but for the
shrewdness OF Naples police officer
This man carefully examined the bed
chamber. and, lying on the floor by the
bedside, he found one OF those large
moths that abound In Italy. A lighted
candle had stood on table by the bed,
and the moths wings bore evident
marks OF having been badly singed
against the fame
What was more important still, some
Of the powdery dust from the moths
wings was found ON the trigger OF the
pistol, and pistol had lain In such a
position that 1t covered the princess
heart. 1t was clear. argued this astute
Sherlock Holmes. that the moth had
burned its wings and had fallen on the
table where. writing In agonies, Its
wings had struck the trigger OF the PTS
tol, and the pistol had been thus fired.
1t was noted that the hair trigger
worked with exceptional ease.
1t should be remarked that these
Italian moths are larger than any
with which we are familiar in this
country. On this evidence the prince
was rightly acquitted Pearson's

BETTER PAY FOR WOMEN.
Trade Unionism the Only Remedy For
Low Wages.

At a symposium recently held at
Peoria, H., on the opportunities offer
ed for social service Miss Agnes Mes
tor, president of the Chicago Trade
Union league, said:
Much has been said about the living
wage for the working girl, meaning by
this a wage barely sufficient for her to
live. We of the Trade Union league
wish more than this. We set q high
standard and want the worker to re-
ceive not merely what will cover her
necessities, but q wage that will give
her joy in life. leisure and opportuni-
ties for self Improvement We demand
that she receive an equivalent for what
she puts into the industry.
1T is the custom for the employer
about to hire woman to ask If she
lives at home This really means that
the employer intends to pay less to her
If she lives with her family. because
her support is partly met Why should
she receive less? AS a matter of fact
that girl usually contributes her own
wages to the support Should she not
receive just what she earns by putting
her working power into the industry?
THE remedy for these conditions Of
unfair rewards for work Is trade I'M
ionism. Only through the trade union
can we hope to get what is rightly
coming to u.s.

by Mediums.
Maurice Maeterlinck, writing about
life after death in the Fortnightly Re
view, makes these remarks about the
so called spirits" that are materialized
by mediums:
"Tt is remarkable thing that they
appear TO be much more interested IN
events here below than in those Of the
world wherein they move.
They seem, above all, jealous In es-
tablishing their identity, TO prove that
they still exist. that they recognize US,
that they know everything, and to con-
vince us OF this they enter into the
most minute and forgotten details with
extraordinary precision, perspicacity
and prolixity.
They are also extremely clever at
unraveling the intricate family connec-
lions OF the person actually question
ing them, of any OF the sltters, or even
OF a stranger entering the room. They
recall this ones little intirmities, that
ones maladies, the eccentricities or
tendencies or q third.

comes from it all no breath, no glim-

earthly cares and soaring toward
greater and loftier ideas 1t is pos

The ENGLISH PENNY.

The English penny has had a good
long inning. For over six centuries it
was practically the only English coin,
for while the form did not appear until
1343, the penny was introduced by
Offa, king of Mercia, who took as a
model coin struck by the father OF
Charlemagne
This penny Of Offa's was a silver
