Unusual Names.

1t Is fad with some men, especially
half-baked schoolmasters, to search
the dictionary for obsolete or unusual
words with view of hurting them at
the heads of harmless and helpless
people. A professor employed in the
government agricultural experiment
station In Nevada announces that he
rs about to conduct series of expert
ments in "agronomy."
The growers of alfalfa, the cultiva-
tors of beans, and those who stimulate
the growth of onions and corn are all
agronomists, although most of them
don't know it, and If called such might
imagine themselves insulted and smite
the scientist who thus designated
them. Agronomy is but another name
for agriculture. 1t is the art Of Gull
tivating the ground. Why not call it
by a name that everybody under
stands? Why go browsing through the
dictionaries for another name? II this
sort of thing is encouraged we shall
have soldiers called "aguerrys," and
laundries called "albification" fac
tories, and Toopious designated as a
"solidungulate scroyle. "-Los Angeles
Times.

The Only Way.

Women are the real conservatives
after all. If they can't do things the
way they've always done 'em they are
likely not to do EN- at all. Which
wise reflection is prompted by story
from the Athletic club.
A large crowd of the wives and un-
married sisters of the members were
taking advantage Of the bathing pool
facilities the other afternoon. There
we're SO many Of them that they had
to dress In relays. 1t was while the
third section was dressing that a cry
went up from one of the dressing
rooms.
whats the matter, dear?" called
one voice.
"Why, l don't believe I'll be able
to get dressed in time to go shopping
with you," walled voice in reply
What seems to be the trouble?"
1.-THE floor is so wet in here that
can't sit down to put my stocking
on!"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Famous American Sculptor.

Henry Kirke Brown, who is ranked
by many as the foremost American
sculptor of his period, was born 100
years ago in Leyden, Mass. He re-
ceived the ordinary training of farm
er's boy, and made his first attempt
in art when lad of twelve years.
Through the aid of friends he was
enabled to spend several years in
Italy. Upon his return to the United
States in 1886 he opened studio in
New York and with the aid of skilled
workmen from Europe made the first
bronze casts ever attempted in Amer
lea. His bronze statue of Dewitt Clin-
ton. In Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn,
was the first bronze statue ever exc
cuted in the United States. Other Of
Mr. Browns well known works are
the statues of George Washington, in
Union square, New York; of Lincoln,
In Prospect park, Brooklyn, and of
General Greene, in the capitol at
Washington. Mr.. Brown died In New
burg, N. Y, July 10, 1886.

LAND OF PEACE AND PLENTY
Atmosphere OF Happiness and Con
tentment Quickly Noted by the
Visitor to Bermuda.

Even the lowliest negro in Bermuda
lives In a comfortable stone house,
and can afford to share the flowers
from his own garden with a stranger.
And he does this, too, not because
ne knows he will have more flowers
next day, but because he likes to be
hospitable. That is his nature, and
Dne of the most charming features of
native life is the desire to make the
visitor feel at home in this land of
sunshine and flowers
The Bermudians are happy and con-
tented people. They are happy because
they are prosperous, and contented
because there is nothing to arouse
their passions to great heights. They
call themselves law-abiding and pride
themselves upon the fact that they
have few criminals. When any one
does wrong he Is quickly punished
Justice is swift and sure, and the Ber-
mudians are we'll satisfied to have
| 1t SO.
Their regard for the law was in
stilled into the people long ago-in
the days when Bermuda was owned
and governed by a proprietary COM
| pany, many of whose members lived
In England and regarded the colonists
as their tenants. The first Bermuda
ans were sent out by the Virginia
company in 1912, and within few
months the Bermuda company came
into control of the islands and began
to exploit them, sending out colonists
and supplies from time to time.
The Bermudians were permitted to
have their own parliament, which
first met August 1, 1929, and Is now
the oldest law-making body in the
British empire, with the exception oil
the mother parliament in London
Thus from the first the Bermudians
governed themselves, and they made
some very strict laws in the early
days. Although the people kept ur
a constant controversy by mail with
the company in London and often de-
clined to obey it's rules, they would
not countenance disorder among them
selves. Most of the colonists were
sturdy pioneers, whose one idea was
to behave themselves and make de
cent living, but there we're some hard
ened characters In the islands, and
they were dealt with sharply II they
,verstepped themselves.

SHIELD FOR ELECTRICAL FAM
No Direct Draught and No Danger OF
lnJurIng Fingers of Careless Per
son Handling It.

Only two objections have been raised
10 portable electric fans, and neither OF
these Is serious. One is that there Is
danger of cutting the fingers on the
revolving blades in moment of care
lessness, and the other is that the d.
rect draught from these fans some
times brings on cold. Either can
easily be avoided, but Louisiana man
has invented fan which eliminates
both risks. His fan is substantially the
same as others. but around the blades
Is circular piece of metal that acts
as shield and guards the flying pro-
pellers. Being open at top and bottom,

Electric Driven Ships.

Coal driven and oil driven ships are
to be followed, it seems, by ships op
Grated by electricity. The fireboats of
Chicago are both propelled and steered
through the crowded Chicago river by
electricity; there is the new electric
driven United States navy collier Jupi
ter, and the ship Tynemount, recently
completed in England and destined to
ply the waters Of the great lakes OF
North America, Is one of the largest
vessels of this type. The advantage of
electric propulsion, the Electric World
says, is greater flexibility of control
and the possibility Of manipulation
from the bridge.

How to Test Water

Every one knows and admits the ne
cessity for pure water. When you are
away from home, and are not sure of
the character Of the water supply, 1t
would not be bad idea to make a
rev simple tests. The results may
prove that 1t was decidedly worth
while to take the trouble, says the
New York Sun. Here are two tests
that you can make very easily:
Fill a tumbler with water, drop in
lump of white sugar, cover 1t with
saucer, and let it stand over night
on the bricks at the side of the range,
on the kitchen mantelpiece, or. in fact,
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 60 degrees. II next
morning the contents are clear, the
water Is pure. II, on the other hand,
the liquid is cloudy, some source Of
contamination is indisputably proved.
The second test Is to drop few
grains of permanganate Of potash into
a tumbler Of water. cover, and let 1t
stand for an hour. II the water Is still
OF the bright rosy color to which the
chemical turned it. 1t is perfectly safe
for drinking; If 1t Is Of a brownish
color, 1t Is impure, although the i'm
purity may be of the kind that boil
