STREETS Of LONDON
Nearly All of Them Were Named
After Someone.
Each Has a Meaning, but Owing to,
M~lsspelIino, ETC., It 10 Impossible
to Conjecture Their Original
Purport.

London.-Those who are most f.
miliar with the London streets prob
ably think least about their history
But the stranger who at rare inter-
walls, or possibly for the first time inl
his life, visits the metropolis, must
often speculate as to the origin OF
this or that ~thoroughfare, or wonder;
how some of the curiously.namedl
streets he passes through came BY,
their names. Since it has always
been the custom in this country to,
name the ways of towns and cities
after somebody or something, one may
be sure that every one Of the names
of London streets once had a special
meaning, though that meaning has 10
much lost its point in the course OF
time, or the original spelling has been
so corrupted, that it is now in many
cases practically impossible ever to
conjecture the original purport OF
the place-names of the metropolis.
Many London thoroughfores, like
many a country village, probably owe
their names to the existence of some
hostelry in the immediate neighbor-
hood, and around which, in course OF
time, other houses were built, 80 that
at last a street was formed. Hanging
Sword alley, off Whitefriars street,
and Catherine Wheel alley, near Lv-

G~racechurch street, city. is said to
have had nothing whatever to do
with that particular virtue in the bel
ginning, and perhaps there is NO
more of it there nowadays than there
used to be. 1t was originally spelled
"Grass-church," because of the grass
that once grew along its edges, or on
account of the fact that vendors OF
herbs dwelt there.
Holborn is another corruption of 4
perfectly different word. Originally
1t vas "Old Bourne" or Hill Bourne"
so-called from the stream which broke
out near where Holborn Bars after
ward stood, and ran down the side Of
the street to the Fleet river. From
the latter, as every N may suppose.
Fleet street took its name. And as q

Made Scene Too Realistic.

Columbus, O.-Too much realism
has caused trouble for Roy w. Emik.
Bert kocher, who took the part of 4
wiretapper in Emig's play, Scalp
lock of Stony Lonesome, has sued
Emig for 500 damages. In the play
Kocher had the role Of a Brown coun-
ty w~hitecapper. After q bunch Or
m~ake-believe Indiana university stu@
dents had tied his hands and feet they
"hazed" him. To make the scene more
realistic. they used clippers on hia
hair. Kocher now says the haircut
ting gave him a cold and that he waa
humiliated in the sight Of his friends.

Danger in Crabs.

Crabs, no matter how fresh they be
make some fellows sick nearly every
time they eat them. Still they take
a chance on it every once in SO often
Just the same. Crabs must be very
fine eating and have a lovely taste an
they are being munched and put into
the paunches Of the crab-eaters. Crabs
will eat a dead horse, or rats. pigs,
cats or dogs decaying in the ocean.
Perhaps if the crabs were penned up
and fed on the choicest of foods for
some days, so as to get a few of the
dirty germs out Of them, as well as rid
them of the filth they eat, then in =
somewhat cleaner condition they might
not, after being eaten, turn the insides
wrong side out and inside outward

foolish fellows feel highly insulted
when told that they take a chance

Altogether it was not over a minute

much less than that. Then l turned

1t is a little difficult in these days
to believe hat the area abou: Char
ing Cross was no more than a little
village in the time of Edward /.
Opinions differ as to the first mean
ing Of the word Cross attached to
n name Of this hamlet, but it is
probable that 1t had the same signih-
cation that Is to be discovered in 9th
er cases of the kind in London and
the country.
There have probably been cross
roads here from time immemorial, but
it is said that in the case of Charine
Cross there was a more specific req
son. Edward I is stated to have
erected a cross in memory of hia
queen on the spot where the statue
OF Charles was afterward set up.
Piccadilly, if we may believe the
usual explanation given for its curious
name, was so called because the first
person to build a house in that
nelghborhood was interested in 'pica-
dllloes," by which name the stin COZ
lars or ruffs formerly worn were orig
inally known.

ered In such names as Frenchchurch
