Incredible Names.

Speaking Of 'burdensome'' names,
Stray Stories tells of one Arthur Pep
per of Liverpool, England, who be-
slowed upon his infant daughter
name that comprised every letter in
the alphabet, running from Anna to
Yetty Zeno.
1t seems surprising that the names
Of Dickens characters, odd though
they were, should be found in real life
for it was from life that many of
them were taken. Some, as is known,
were copied from the names of signs
over business places but that was not
the novelist's only source of selection.
John Forster, his biographer, found
among his papers a carefully drawn
list Of names, with the sources from
which he obtained them. Some of the
names are too extravagant for any
thing but reality: Jolly Stick, Bill
Marigold, George Muzzle, William
Why, Robert Gospel, Robin Scrubban,
Sarah Goldsacks. Catherine Two, So
phia Doomsday, Rosetta Dust and
Sally Gimblett.-Youth's Companion.

LONG A PLACE OF WORSHIP
ored Their Gods on the Noun.
tain Of Monserrat.

Monserrat, the famous shrine in the
Spanish province of Barcelona, illus
trates the effect which high mountains
have on men. When you climb to the
top Of high mountain you feel wor-
shipful and at peace with the universe.
Monserrat is an outlying spur Of the
Pyrennees which stands all alone,
splendidly dominating a rich plain. 1t
is one Of the most ancient and famous
OF Catholic shrines. According to
legend, many centuries ago an image
of the Virgin was found at the top Of
the mountain, and it was impossible to
move the image. Thus it was shown
to men that they should build shrine
on Monserrat.
In medieval times it was shrine of
unexcelled beauty and splendor. An
emperor came here to kneel and to
cover the great Byzantine church with
gold. queen watked up the noun
tain barefoot. The great and the
learned Of alk the Christian world
gathered at N1onserrat. Its greatness
came to an end in the nineteenth cen
tury when the French sacked the
shrine and carried away the orna-
ments.
Now the church has been rebuilt
and offers free lodging to the pilgrims
who come there still, but the fame
and splendor Of the place have shrunk.
Yet MOnserrat will always be shrine.
Before Christ the Romans had a tenn
pie Of Venus there and before that
more than likely savages worshiped
their gods on the mountain top.
Worship veritably grows in the soil
of Monserrat.

Do You Educate Your Children?

Most parents provide for their chill
dren; some take personal care of their
children; but few, indeed are they who
can be forced to take any part in the
education of their children, education
having become the business of schools,
a factory process, turned over entirely
to the public. Here and there is sub
lime parent who plods doggedly over
the alphabet and the algebra, getting
an education for himself at this late
day; but such are rare. the run of par
ents putting their babes into the kin

Incubator, while they themselves slip

Doughboy Second to None.

"The American doughboy need not
take off his hat to any soldier Of any
of the armies engaged in the great
war. There were some as good as he,
but none better"
Thus spoke General Marie Emile Fa-
yolle of the French army, who used
in the counter offensive against the
Germans seven American divisions.
The general was talking on the eve of
his departure for the United States,
where he is to represent the French
army at the convention Of the Ameri-
can legion in Cleveland.
."The Americans were simply mag
nifcent," continued General Fayolle.
Gas matter Of fact some Of them
were brave to such an extent as one
might call rashness. You know, it was
under my command that the Ameri-
cans received their baptism of fire at
Cantigny. Then again on July Is they
were with me in the offensive between
scissors and Chateau Thierry."
Magnificent, marvellous" General
Fayolle kept repeating.
''Your soldiers" the general went on,
''were not only men as regards cour-
age, but also in endurance and unfail-
ing good humor. But there was one
branch in the military service in which
they were totally deficient, and it was
one of the most important in military
science
"They could not cook, or they were
too busy fighting to bother about SUCH
triflles as cooking"
The general said this with merry
twinkle in his eye, then he added: 81
shall be happy to meet the American
poilu who were my comrades in bat
tie"
General Fayolle will be accompanied
to the United States by Lieutenant
Colonel Reqiun and Lieutenant Sou
bran, who will be his interpreter.
This will be the generals first visit
to the United States.

His Scheme Fell Flat.

Governor Cox's endeavor to prove
his extravagant charges Of republi-
can endeavor to buy the presidency
was lamentably weak. He produced
what he claimed was a list of quotas
for the large cities of the country, to-
falling a little more than half of the
sum he claimed was being raised. He
rested his case on this and a few
more ugly words about an ssunderhold''
on the presidency. His remarks GER
