Why the English Word "Red" Is Not
to Be Found Among Them.
Black, White and Brown are com
mon surnames in English, but there is
no English family called Red. The for
mer names were given originally be-
cause Of the complexion Of the persons
who received them. 1t seems strange
that in people among whom red
heads were common none should have
acquired the name Red" especially as
this is frequently bestowed as a nick.
name. A dictionary explains this as
follows:
RED, like lead Qed). with which 1t is
phonetically parallel. had in Middle
English long vowel, which has be.
come shortened. The long vowel re-
mains, however, in the surnames Read
Reade, Reed. Reid, which represent old
forms of the adjective and the exist
ence Of which as surnames explains the
almost total absence Of the expected
surname Red. parallel to Black, Brown
White, etc.
The equivalent Of red" In foreign
languages is just as common sur

"black," white" and brown" for the
reason that in them there has been nc
modification of the original word.-

WORK OF THE cHlcKADEE.
This Little Bird 10 Formidable Foe Of
the CankervWorn


In May the chickadees build their
nests in the cavity Of decayed tree
trunk or limb and line them with moss,
plant down and feathers. From five
to eight white eggs spotted with red
dish brown are laid in each soft era
die. The chickadees eat in the sum-
mer many insects and their eggs.
Farmers dread the cankerworm, which,
unchecked. completely destroys apple
orchards. At one meal this tiny bird
will eat 250 eggs Of the cankerworm
and will have several meals day.
During its migration in October the
chickadee is more numerous in the
New England states than in the sum-
mer. Throughout the greater part Of
its range, from Labrador to Maryland
and in the Alleghenies southwark to
North Carolina. these merry midgets
are found at all seasons. But it is with
the fall and winter that they are gen.
orally associated. No one need feel
lonely when these little black and
white birds are around. They are so
friendly and tame and some Of their
notes sound so much like words that
they seem to be talking. Besides the
familiar "chick-a-dee" call they have a
high. sweet whistle Of two or three
notes.
In the autumn the partridge berries
are ripe. and upon them these birds
have many a feast. And later the ber-
ries of the wintergreen. Solomon's
seal. dogwood and Indian cucumber
may be used as food.-Philadelphia

OLD new ENGLAND CUSTOMS.
In the Days When Brides Were Stolen
and Had to Be Ransomed.


and Had to Be Ransomed.
A half savage custom prevailed in
many early New England towns. A
group Of those young men who had
not been invited to the wedding would
invade the house when the marriage
ceremony had been performed and drag
away the bride to an inn or some other
house, when the groom and his party
would follow and rescue her by paying
a forfeit of dinner 10 the bride steal
ers. In western Massachusetts, this
custom fingered until Revolutionary
times. In Judd's History of Hadley"
the names Of stolen brides are given.
Mrs. Job Marsh, married in 1888, is
said to have been the last bride thus
stolen. A very rough variation Of this
custom is reported to be still in vogue
in some localities in Rhode Island.
Nine. Sarah Knights in her journal of
a horseback ride from Boston to New
York in 17O4 tells of ridiculous alter
alton of this marriage custom, which
she saw in Connecticut-to steal the
bridegroom.
Many other curious fashions prevail
ed in different localities. In some
towns the young men rode or ran to
the brides house for bottle of rum.
In others the bees were told Of the
wedding and given bride cake. In still
others the unmarried girls scrambled
for the brides garter to see who would
be married neXt.-Alice Morse Earle

Hiah Cost of Hiah Living.

According to James Churchill, one Of
the famous New York restaurateurs,
it costs the men who cater to the great
throng of cabaret diners some $780,
$4,000 year to keep things going in
the proper Gotham style. In itemized
form he reckons rent at 40 millions,
license tax and stamps 3OA millions.
payroll 1854 millions, supplies 327 mil
lions.
This neat little sum is merely what
it costs the proprietors, be it under
stood. The amount paid in by regular
and occasional habitues of the lobster
palaces" may safely be put at so per
cent more. or $1.O63 975.5OO. Yes, high
living comes high, and it is time to
think Of having less Of it.-Boston

GET BACK TO NATURE.
Live the Simple Life and Win Health
and Hardness.

Live the Simple Life and Win Health
and Happiness.
The movement to return to nature
and simple life is the solution offered
to the high cost of living problem, but
health experts and enthusiasts have
found it to be the only way Of right
living or healthful living known today.
They have adopted it as safe road to
health. They say that return to ma
ture means good digestion, sound sleep,
a clear head, a placid mind, content
ment and JOY to be alive.
But first, they say, it means getting
close to nature-living out of doors as
much as possible by working, playing
and resting in the open air and, above
all, by sleeping in the open air. "Out-
door sleeping is the best life preserver
known" 1t means also going to the
garden and orchard for your bill of
fare-tomatoes. lettuce, celery, spinach,
turnips, beans, corn, peas, melons, ber-
ries, apples, peaches, plums and all
other fruits and green stuffs untouched
by fire.
The real value Of adopting the SIM
pie life, according to the health ex-
perts, lies In the pleasure we find in
living it. To do it grudgingly or with
out knowing and approaching its bene-
fits we botch it and fail, but to love
health more than appetite and seek it is
to have health, comfort. efficiency and a
long life. start the simple life-begin
it today" is the motto of this health
movement.-NorthC Carolina State Board

The Emigrant
Ever since was small boy and
able to read, I have read about the
wonderful America. I had always
longed to see America and all he1
riches, and resolved to see her some
day.
My father and mother were poor, SO
I had to earn my own money. When
was twenty years of age, I saved
enough to make the journey. On the
morning I was to leave, my conscience
smote me both hard and fast, although
I was overjoyed to get away into the
great and busy world.
The day was a beautiful one and !
felt that I was going to be successful
but maybe, had I known all the hard
ships I was to endure, might not
have been so cheerful.
The ship left the harbor shortly be-
fore dinner and before sunset we were
out of sight, with only the blue sea
around US. Since this was about twen-
ty years ago, and the ships were not
so modern as they are now, the sight
of the inside made me sick in an in
slant. was very sick and could hard
ly realize where 1 was. The waves
were at least the size of any common
building and they dashed against the
ship and set it rocking.
After six days, there was great ex-
citement on board. A dim light was
to be seen-the light house at Boston
Harbor, and soon the land was in view.
1 felt much better now, but l knew
not all my hardships were over.
Now to find something to do, for
the money in my pocket showed me l
could not be idle very long. I finally
secured a job, but it was not what
was looking for. But I worked at it
until / was more acquainted and could
get a more respectable position.
Many a time I would think of the
dear friends l had left behind, my
father and mother, and the home that
had been so dear to me, but still I was
glad to be in America. This country
showed me hundreds of advantages
which 1 was not slow to grasp and l
knew I was beginning to succeed.
