Some Welsh Words.

Welsh is a marvelously expressive
language. In souvenir guide to Car
Maroon there is a list of Welsh rail-
way stations with their English equiv
alents. Here are some of them: Aber-
gwynf, entrance to the place Of bliss;
Amlwch, a place of frequent expan-
sion; Cefn Brynich, the back of the
screaking hill; Dowlais, the voice of
God, and Llanbister, the manure yard
road. There is also one station the
name of which runs to fifty-eight let
tiers. Its meaning is merely, THE fair
church at the pool of the white seagull
near the alder grove where the fodder
for the oxen is stored in the red barn"
And surely teetotalism ought to -four

as "cwrw."-Pall Mall Gazette.

Farraqut's Name.

In its present shape the name Ear
ragut" is not known before George
Farragut, father of the admiral, who
came to this country and Joined the
patriot side in the War of the Revolu-
tion. His father was Antonio Ferra-
gut of Ciudadella, Minorca. In that
form the name Is traced back continu-
ously to Don Pedro Ferragut, who
fought with James l. of Aragon in ex-
pelling the Moors from Minorca in
1920. In the interval the Ferraguts
played a prominent part in the affairs
of the Balearic islands. = New York

MYSTERIOUS METASTASIo.
Peculiar Mode Of Life of the Celebrated
Italian Poet.


Metastasio Q69S-17S2), the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty-
five years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn 1t.
Besides his utter indifference to all
speech but Italian, Metastasio possess
ed many peculiarities of character
None might mention death In his pres
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made 1t q point not to
see again. In all his fifty-five years
in Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent Of $25 to the poor.
He always occupied the same seat at
church, but never paid for 1t.
Metastasio took all his meals In the
most mysterious privacy. His great
est friends had never seen him eat any.
thing but biscuit with some lemon
ade. Nothing would induce him to
dine away from home. He never
changed his wig or the cut or color Of
his coat.
Metastasio was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium of his last moments. Mrs.
Piozzi (familiar to readers Of Boswell's
"Life of DIR. Johnson" as Mrs. Thrale)
collected these particulars from the la
dies of the Marines family, with whom
Metastasio was so long domesticated

word of their language from first to

Women Accountants
Prove Successful

Edinburgh, Scotland. - Account
ancy is another of the professions
which has been opened up to women
by the war. At the beginning of the
war 1t was found necessary to fill the
positions in accountants offices left
vacant by men by women; but as an
apprentice to an accountant has to
serve for five years and attend uni
versity law classes and pass exam
nations, 1t was most difficult for
women who had not had this special
training to undertake the work.
Hitherto women had worked in ac-
countants' offices almost exclusively
In the capacity of stenographers and
Vpists, without doing any of the
actual accounting. The way was,
however, opened for them by ].
Stuart Gowans. c. A. of Edinburgh.
who offered to the Society of Char
tered Accountants to give a course
of lectures on accountancy to woman
in accountants offices during the
winter of 1916 and spring of 1917.
