ORIGIN OF "DIcKENs NAMES
Pursuit Long Favorite Amusement
of the Admirers of Writer of
Immortal Fiction.

One of the most interesting OF Semi
literary hobbies is the search after
the origin of chickens Names" 1t Is
specially interesting, no doubt, because
nobody can prove to demonstration
that his particular solution" is the
correct one, and, as consequence,
the long list of potential discoveries
is seldom reduced, much less exhaust
ed. One of the latest Strikes is a.
possible origin for, the old favOrite,
"Chadband." A recent writer tells how
few years ago, in one of the small
hamlets between Sutton and EPSON.
there stood small tailor's shop bear
ing in large letters the name of Chad
band" And he goes on to wonder
whether Dickens, "going down by road
Dorking, noticed the name, and kept
it for future use," for on that route
he would have passed the very door
of the shop. The writer seems TO think
1t highly likely; while, in proof that
Dickens actually made the journey.

TO ALLAY PAIN OF STINGs
Use of Ammonia. to Be Avoided in
the Case of an Attack by an
Irate Wasp.

Ammonia promptly applied when
bee stings you prevents serious con-
sequences and allays pain. 1t has gen.
.erally been supposed that this was
! true. also Of wasp stings; but Edward
r. Speyer, AN. Oxford university spe-
ciaifst, points out in a letter to the
London Times that the application OF
ammonia or any other alkali to a
wasp sting makes it worse.
The reason is that the poison of a
bees sting is acid; that Of wasp's
sting is alkaline. Hence alkalies. like
ammonia, neutralize the acid: Of the
bees sting. but aggravate the toxic
effects of the wasp's alkaline sting.
The best thing to apply to a wasp's
sting is vinegar. being the nearest
acid in domestic service Onion juice,
lemon juice, or any other handy acid
will do ais wei. - ~
The Lancet says these facts ought
to be widely known. ''for not uncom-
monty the sting proves to be not q
simple puncture but the beginning OF
g. toxic process sometimes fatal. A
wasp sting on the moist muc0sa, as
in the mouth, invariably leads to seri-

Beauty in Seaweed.

Contemplating seaweed, the curator
of this department in the New York
botanical gardens has made sug-
gestion, timely with regard to the
present exhibition of specimens in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, that here
may be found many charming sug-
gestion, hitherto unnoticed by artists,
-or the creation of decorative designs
One is reminded of the passage In
which RuSkin tells how the Greek
architect found a beautiful design in
the. movement of ocean waves; and
wonders that Ruskin himself, with his
keen appreciation Of art suggestions
in nature, did not deal with the varied
beauty of design discoverable in the
different seaweeds. Perhaps he did,
and one has forgotten it.; at any rate
seaweed has not, it seems, yet sup
piled suggestion for the design of lace,
tapestries, prints, and architectural
ornament, and the idea adds material
for the work of designers.

Whales Breathing Apparatus.

An eminent naturalist says concern
ing the breathing apparatus of the
whale: "The windpipe does not COM
municate with, the mouth; hole is, as
it were, bored right through the back
of the head. Engineers would do well
to copy the action of the valve OF the
whales blow-hole; more perfect
piece of structure it is impossible to
imagine. Day and night, asleep or
awake. the whale works its breathing
apparatus in such a manner that not
a drop of water ever gets down into
the lungs. Again, the whale must OF
necessity stay a much longer period
.ander water than seals; this alone
might possibly drown it. inasmucf as
the lungs can. not have access to fresh
air. We find that this difficulty has
been anticipated and obviated by a pc
cnliar reservoir in the venous system,
whicf; reservoir is situated at the back
of the lungs"

Beliefs About Worlds End.

The Mohammedans believe the time
of the end of the world to be a per-
feet secret to all save God alone; the
angel Gabriel himself acknowledged
his ignorance on this point when Mo-
manned asked BIN about it.
Christianity of all Is the least GER
tain about the precise time OF the
event. Jesus. telling his disciples OF
the precursory signs of the great ca
tastrophe, said: Verify, this genera
ton will not pass before my words
shall be 6complished." The first
Christians, cordingly, looked to inn
mediate fulfillment of the prediction
and believed the end of the world
near at hand. Although the advent
failed to come to pass, they claimed
TO believe in it's near realization. Still,
centuries followed centuries and the
world continued to live.

PAY BOOST SOUGHT
BYScAO0L CLERKS
Clerical Force Demands
Same Salaries as Allowed in
Government Service.

Clerical employees in the public school
system yesterday afternoon began prep
, arations to start a campaign to have
their salaries increased. No definite
wage scales were drafted by the clerks,
but the opinion among them is that
they are entitled to the same rate of
pay as clerical workers in the govern
ment service, which averages about
$1,000 a year basic, and a bonus of
$40. totaling s1,440.
< large majority of the school clerks,
who are classified as general" now get
Il basic salary Of $3.50 a year. plus the
bonus of $40. Several of the clerks.
the bonus, while one member of the
clerical corps in the "statutatory' cate
cory gets $1.5O0 basic and the bonus.
Request Put In Budget.
Recommendations for substantial sal
afy increases for the clerks have been
inserted in the school budget. which goes
to Congress soon after that body con-
venes next month. but fear is voiced
by some members of the clerical person.
nel that unless their dire need of more
money is impressed on members of the
legislative bodies they will be over
looked. For severs.i years school officials
urged Congress TO grant increases in
NISeS 10 SitTkS tQoSd.eill 10 tiiOSe re-
ceived by the same class of workers in
the federal service. Last year, n small
INCREASE was approved by Congress,
bringing the basic salaries of those
in the general classification up from
S72O to $3.50. Officials still contend that
the present rate of wages is too small to
secure and retain trained staff Of
clerks. @,.
With the recommendation for inc
reased wages for the clerks. school
officials have included in the budget a
provision asking for an additional num-

building up of the business office with
the proper staff of clerks. During the
past year conditions have been ex-
ceedingly severe. and naturally there
has been difficulty in carrying on busi-
ness. with that degree of efficiency
which under ordinary circumstances we
would consider essential. The volume
OF business shows a marked increase,
due in part to the difficulty in obtain
ing supplies, and in part to many
changes in the school personnel which

.The business Office" he said, 'is af-
fected not alone by the smallness of its
force, but by the salaries paid. The
salaries, far below corresponding gov
ernment rates for similar work, are in
themselves evidence of the difficulty of
securing and retaining trained force. -
