How New York Got Nickname.

"City of Gotham" is a nickname Of
foreign origin with no particular ap-
plicability. Gotham is the name Of
an ancient village in England, whose
inhabitants, according to tradition,
once escaped a burdensome duty
about to be put upon them by feigning
stupidity. This smart trick In pre-
tending to be fools gave rise to the
expression "the wise men Of Gotham"
and the story of "the three wise men
of Gotham who went to sea in bowl"
The name was first applied to New
York city in a humorous magazine
called Salmagundi, started in 1907 by
Washington Irving and two or three
others, in which they made fun of the
pretensions of some OF the wise men
of Gotham" meaning the New York
of that day. The magazine was read,
the fun-making approved and the nick.

MARIE GOLD.
BY ELLEN EDDY SHAW.

would like to support and care for
little French orphan this winter?

Some people call her Marigold. You
can buy her for about five cents. She
comes in little paper package, and
when you look at the seeds inside
you will wonder how nice little
French baby is going to come out Of
Of them, in a little three-inch pot you

Fill your flower pot to within an
inch of the top with nice garden soil.

four or six seeds carefully on top,
cover them with one-quarter inch Of
soil and press this soil down carefully
with your fingers. After week or ten
days you will see pushing up and out
the first of your six orphans.
Little Marie Gold will grow to be
about five inches tall and then she will
have q bright, golden flower head. She
is little dwarf and never grows any
taller Out in the garden in the sum-
mer grows her American cousin, quite
tall; but little French Marie Gold
never reaches, even outdoors, more
than eight inches in height. 1t will
take about six weeks from the time
you plant the seeds to the time when
she blossoms. | know of no little flow
er child so hearty, so cheerful. and so
easy to raise as she.
All the boys and girls who can get
a box or a little pot of some soil may
have French marigolds blooming in
doors in the winter. They are no
trouble to care for, because all they
need is little sunlight and an oc-
casional drink of water. Wait until
the soil around them gets very dry
and then give them plenty of water to
drink. Flower children are like real
children; they need kind treatment
and good care. SO look out for little

To Mothers-I know of no little
plant so easy to raise and so salts

buying the seeds of the common Amer
lean marigold, for it will not do as well
as its little French sister. Neither Is
it as dainty, nor as attractive to chill

Work for Shell Shock Men.

The kind of employment the she'll
shock man undertakes, whether he re-
turns to his old work or takes up some
thing new that suits him better, is one
of the deciding factors in his recovery.
The work must be congenial and it
must be something he can do without
strain or worry. And the hours, more
over, must not be too long. A patient
whom have known for five years does
a highly skilled kind of technical work.
which he thoroughly enjoys, and for
which he is highly appreciated by his
firm. In his zeal for his work. he from
time to time has a spell of working
over hours, with the result that he be-
comes fatigued and then takes alcohol
and for while is wholly irresponsible.
These attacks could be avoided if his
wife were skillful enough to prevent
his overworking. For the man with
shell shock the nature and hours OF
work should be given The most care
full consideration.-Mar c. Jarrett in

and excellent mechanism. Its front
wheel enn turn in any direction, its
steering gear is strong and easily man
aged, and 1t Is made entirely of wood.
Both carts are also of wood, as well
as the mule and horse, and all are
well painted and strongly put togeth-
er. The cars are painted red white
and blue, so know they are made In
our own country The rag babies we
made ourselves, and although they are
'of a crudeness," they are none the
less beloved. The blocks were made
by measure at wood yard. Being
large and easily handled, child can
build gates, bridges and platforms
with them big enough to walk under
or upon, and strong enough to stand
firm after they are built.
Our older children when they were
small played principally with imported
dolls dressed in native costumes And
can remember that my brother and
had handsome books brought from
England that my finest dolls were
French and his regiments of toy SOL
diers came mostly from the land Of
militarism.
But our baby boy, born during the
world war and forced to rely on sturdy.
homemade toys, is much better off.
Lesson for Mothers.
There is two-fold lesson here for
us mothers. One concerns the chill
dren themselves and the other goes far
afield into the laws Of economics, world
production and the like.
We have found that our own SUBJ
stantial, wooden, easily-handled play
things are what our children need and
want. Children's books we have
aplenty, the most artistic, I suppose,
in the world. And then we can de-
mand well-made, pretty American
dolls. 1t only remains for US to hold
to all these, and prove our patriotism
by refusing to buy foreign manufac-
tured toys, even if they are put on
the market again later on.
A far cry, isn't it, from baby boy
with his "toot-toot, ding-a-lang, chu-
chu," on the piazza, to the law of sup
ply and demand and the regulation Of
one of the great industries of the
world? But in just such ways we are
now finding out how great problems
must be handled We are going back
to our earlier and simpler days, when
we shall discard the nonessentials as
so much waste and rubbish. Let US
begin, then, at the beginning and stick
to toys-made in America.

things to do to keep the ''iHu" away !:
By standing just outside your door
In dry place for moment before
wading out in the snow in severe
weather you will find that the snow
does not cling to the shoes and they
will remain perfectly dry. The rea-
son for this is that the soles of your
shoes are cooled so that they do not
melt the snow through which you
walk. If you rush out of a warm
house in warm shoes they melt the
snow which sticks to them, and the
water soon soaks through to me feet.
