QUAINT OLD INN NAMES.
Some of the Peculiar Signs One May
Read In England.

Some of the Peculiar Signs One May
Read In England.
Man Loaded With Mischief is the
name of an inn in the Madingley road,
Cambridge, but it is not stranger than
many others. At Underwood. Motifs. is
an inn called 1.-THE Toad In the Hole"
and in the neighborhood of Somer.
cotes, ''The Old House at Home" An
other inn at the same place is called
The Old English Gentleman"
1t is debatable point whether the
sign of 1.-THE Man Loaded With Mis-
chief was painted by Hogarth. But it
is like his satire, for it represents a
man carrying a woman.
Many peculiar signs are the result
of misconceptiOn. 1.-The Bag o. Nails''
is really THE Bacchanals." 1.-THE Goat
and Compasses'' is an ignorant shot at

who was prime minister when the inn
was built.
One of the funniest of these corrup-
lions is ''The Iron Devil" q corruption
of "Hirondelle" Swallow. 1t is said
that the inn called THE Pig and Tin
der Box was originally THE Ele-
plant and Castle" but a very poor
artist was engaged to paint the sign,
and somebody said it looked like a pig
and finder box, and the name stuck
until it ousted the old one.
THE Plum and Feathers" an inn in
Oxford, should be "Plume of Feath-
ers," and The Rose of the Quarter
Sessions was originally la Rose des
Quatres Saisons." One might think
THE Ship and Shovel belonged to the
same category, but it does not. The
reference is to Sir Cloudesley Shovel,
the powder monkey who became an
admiral in the reign of Queen Anne

GROWING Older.

AS see it, growing older is the proc.
ess of the reconciliation of the spirit to
life Living is simply getting acquaint-
ed with the world we live in. The real
purpose of body is that it shall be
used up, worn out-and then thrown
away-in feeding the spirit. Whatever
happens to you in the outer world
translates itself finally into such a sub.
stance. That is what it is for, just as
the purpose of food is not to look pref.
ty on china plates, but to be trans
formed into blood and muscle. 1t is in
the natural order Of things that the
body should be thus used and exhaust
ed. The unnatural and horrible thing
is that the body should be worn out
and yet the spirit remain unnourished.

FLYING BULLETS.
At High Velocities Army Rifle Missiles
Make Queer Sounds.

At High VeIocities Army Rifle Missiles
Make Queer Sounds.
There is but one sound plainly audi
BILE from a flying bullet, and this is au-
dfSle only when the bullet travels at
high speed. at the rate of 1900 feet per
second or more.
Missiles from all army rifles of mod
ern times, which vary in velocity from
1000 to 5000 feet per second, create a
vacuum Immediately behind the bullet.
The result Is sharp crash as the bull
LET passes, caused by the air closing
rapidly in behind the bullet base.
At considerable range two distinct
reports are audible to the person by
whom the bullet is passing. At 700
yards the sound may be described pho
netically as 'pack-punk." The first
sound comes about three-quarters of n
second ahead of the latter in the case
Of the United States army rifle, the
new Springfield. The velocity of this
rifle is 300 feet per second at the
muzZle.
The first sound is that of the bullet
passing through the air. 1t is like moth
ing so much as long and very violent
ly cracked blacksnake whip. The Sec
ond sound comes about three-quarters
of a second later. 1t is dead, heavy
and is more like a thud than the
crack" of rifle
The difference in the time of the two
sounds is because the bullet travels
much faster than sound. Noise pro-
crosses at the rate of about a thousand
feet per Second.-Outing.

LORDS AND RETAINERS.
The FeudaI System Has Not Yet Been
Entirely Eliminated In Japan.

The Feudal System Has Not Yet Been
Entirely Eliminated In Japan.
There is in Japan a social relation
ship between employer and employee
not known in your country. 1t is the
relationship of lord and retainer. For
many centuries Japan was under a
feudal system where the giver of ''yok''
Tor annual pensiom was the lord, while
the recipient of it was the retainer.
Such feudalistic relations between pay
er and payee have not yet altogether
died away in this country, though they
are gradually diminishing with the cap
italization of labor. Even TODAY he
who pays wages is allowed to assume
something of the mental attitude of
the lord-not in a despotic but in a
protectoral sense-toward those who
receive them.
young man who was earning his
school expenses by work in America
came into possession of a lengthy let
ter from his mother left behind in ia
pan repeatedly advising him to be loyal
to the person of his master and he
looked around to find, to his renewed
surprise, that nobody would claim in
the republic such personal loyalty as
his good old mother must have meant.
But in Japan there exist many sub
Jects for his quasi feudalistic virtue.
My American readers may think that
the comparative scarcity of strikes in
Japan is due to lack of self assertion
ON the part of laborers, but that is not
quite right. The chief explanation
must be found in their active loyalty
to their employers person rather than
In their passive forbearance.-From

kojiro Matsukata Cd. C. L. Yale).

TEST "hLt. WOOL" BY FIRE.
To Detect Cotton Fibers Burn a Sam
pie of the Cloth.


Until the proper labelling Of textiles
has been made compulsory there are
certain simple tests by means of which
one may determine whether an "ail
WooI' fabric is really all wool or not
The old way of telling by feeling and
looking is no longer reliable, for cotton
can be made both to feel and look like
wool: The only sure way is to take
samples of the goods home with you
and make tests of them there.
If piece of cotton cloth is ignited il
will be found to burn rather rapidly
with a bright, steady flame. There is
no disagreeable Odor, and when the
material is completely consumed there
will be left only a small amount of
light gray, fluffy ash. If a piece of
pure wool is lighted it will be found to
burn much more slowly and with less
steady flame, emitting a characteristic,
mild, kissing noise and a strong odor
very Similar to that of burned horn.
There will be much more ash remain
ing than in the case Of cotton, and it
will be in the form of crinkly, black,
crisp ball.
In applying this test to a fabric the
whole sample should not be burned at
once, for if it is a so called wool piece
containing considerable cotton it will
be very difficult to determine whether
= is burning more like cotton or wool
Threads should be taken from the sam.
pie, several each from the warp and
the wool, and burned separately. With
a very little practice one will be able to
detect the cotton threads by the char.
acteristic manner of burning. Some
times it is well to pick a thread apart
with pin and test the individual fiber
with the fame to determine whether
the thread is entiFly wool or mixed
with cotton.-Jean Donaldson Martin
in Mothers Magazine.
A Stamp Hint.
A stamp without mucilage may be
quickly attached to an envelope by
rubbing it on the mucilage of the en-.
velope when sealing. Rub the back
of the stamp on the ends farthest from
the point Of the envelope flap, and you
will find both envelope and stamp will
stick well when the mucilage bottle is
not handy.

FUNNY NUMBERS ON
 KEENEY'S PROGRAM

While the act of Elsie Golden, which is one of the most popular numbers at Keeney's this week. is light and of a general character that ordinarily would be short lived, it is serving to entertain the patrons of the playhouse in most satisfactory fashion and the little singer is draw ing down as much applause as is given tc any of the performers on the bill. Miss Golden is a singing comedienne and she is appearing this week in a song revue. She renders the choruses or number of popular songs the keeneyscope flashing the words on the screen. The audience quickly be- comes acquainted with Miss Golden and enthusiastically joins in singing the choruses. Several clever cartoons are shown in connection with the act They are very amusing and the audi ence enjoys them greatly.
 The big laugh-getter this week is Dutch Justice" presented by the Fields Brothers Stock company as the ,headliner. This is by far the fun- niest number that these players have introduced. Tn this act Harry Jack sen, the popular Hebrew comedian, gets an excellent chance to distin- gCish himself. He serves as the public prosecutor and his work is a strong contributing factor in the success Iof the act. The Fields also do good work and the singing of the Shaw Sisters must be considered too
 Vacation Days" a school room act of the old fashioned type with a few novel features, is an entertaining speciality. The songs are we'll ren- dered and the comedy is of the first quality.
 Hutachinson and Barry make clever team of singers and batter distributors and the Four Kleises fur nish the last word in music and comedy.

 New Military Effects.
 The military fashion has given rise to two effects which are often. to be observed in the newest importations, and in original American models It may be mentioned that although the American costume designer may not have reached the stage of excellence which the Parisian holds the hat de- signer has shown himself Splendidly capable. There is little choice be- tween a fine domestic and. fine i'm ported hat in the excellence of taste displayed.
 One of the military hats is the tri- corne, although the majority of it's adaptations are entirely peaceful in their suggestions. They are low, un- even and often trimmed out of all re- semb1ance to their inspirations, as, for example, one pretty tricorne which came here on the latest steamer from Paris. It was waved up to a greater height on one side than on the other, and was covered completely with vio- lets. Lest one miss the three corners through the softness Of outline, these were marked by a rosebud set at each of the points.
