Matrimony.

The primary impulse of all creatures
is possession. 1t is this that causes a
chicken to tear around the yard with a
piece Of meat in its mouth and all the
other chickens after it. 1t hasn't time,
but the instinct Of possession makes
him grab and keep it. The same is
noticeable among beasts. They like to
get great piece of meat in their
mouths and then growl. 1t is this in
stinct in man which provokes him to
matrimony. He wants something to
guard and growl over, so he seeks a
hollow tree, cave or house and 4

It Has Had Twenty -seven Different
Ones In Its Career.
Many cities are known by more than
one name, but it is given to few to re-
joice in more than half dozen dis
tinctive cognomcns. But the historic
Galician city of Lemberg has been
known at one time or another by no
less than twenty seven different appel
lations.
According to the Polish Bulletin, the
ancient Ruthenian names for Lwoff
were Lwow, Lwiw, Lwihrad, Lwiho-
rod, Ilwiw; the Germans called it Lem
borg, Lemberg, Lemburg, Loewenburg;
the Latin and pseudo Latin names in.
clude Lebburga, Lamburga, Leontopo-
lis, Leone, Livivia, Leopolya; in the
thirteenth century it was known to the
Greeks as Lithon and Lifbada.
The patriarchs of Constantinople.
Alexandria and Jerusalem referred to
it as Leovios ana Leonopolis: the Turks
call it in their books Hi, llbo, Ilbot,
Ilibow, Ilbadir: the Armenians gave to
it the name of llof; the Russians have
lately baptized it Lwoff.
The real name of the city, it is as
serted, is the Polish one of Lwow
which literally translated means Lion
City.

Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.


Water which Is hot, of course, can
not freeze until it has parted with it's
heat, but water that has been boiled
will, other things being equal. freeze
sooner than water which has not been
boiled. A slight disturbance of water
dispOses it to freeze more rapidly, and
this is the cause which accelerates the
freezing Of boiled water. The water
that has been boiled has lost the air
naturally contained in it, which on ex-
posture to the atmosphere it begins
again to attract and absorb. During
this process of absorption a motion is
necessarily produced among it's parti-
eles. slight certainly and impercepti-
BILE, yet probably sufficient to accel-
crate its congelation. In unboiled wa
ter this disturbance does not exist. In
deed, water when kept perfectly still
can be reduced several degrees below
the freezing point without it's becoming
ice

Mosquitoes suspected In 1774.

A manuscript, written by priest
In 1774, has Just been brought to light
In Paris, which indicates that even at
that time the mosquito was suspected
OF transmitting diseases, as shown by
the following passage: "An ecclesias-
tic of lively wit told me that he sus-
pected that the feyers from which
the inhabitants OF this country tTunis)
suffered. came from the bite OF the
mosquito, which, after sucking at an
infected cadayer or poisonous now

We are thankful that we are Americans
