"What'S in a Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
Ing, whence IL was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH is holy name and
Z has a devious origin, it likewise
has as many derivatives, contractions
and diminutives as Mary.
Going back to early biblical times
we find that the wife Of Aaron pos
sessed a name popular at that time, in
that II contained a dedication to the
Deity. This name was Elischeba,
meaning God hath sworn In the
Latin this was called Elizabeth. The
mother o. John the Baptist bore this
name and her first historical name
sake was the Muscovite Princess
Elsivetta, the daughter Of Jarosalv,
and the object Of the romantic love
Of the famous poet and sea king, Har-
aid, Hardarda of Norway; through her
the name became popular in Denmark,
whence II crept into Germany.
One Of the first Elizabeths In France
was Elizabeth Hainault who mar
ried Philippe Auguste and in Hungary,
Elizabeth, or Erzsebt, as she is called
there, won sanity honors which
brought her name great prominence In
Germany.
Elizabeth w. Godville, whose moth
err was Hacequette Of Luxembourg was
the first English Elizabeth on record.
Elizabeth Of York is another famous
English woman Of that name, sup
posed to be the object Of the political
courtship Of Henry Of Richmond, but
the most famous Of all the English
Elizabeths was of course the famous
queen whose personality and achieve
ments are immortal In the worlds his
tory.
Elizabeth's talismanic gem Is the
diamond, which is said to give It's
wearer strength, indomitability and
freedom from all danger since, accord
Ing to an old legend. the diamond alb
serbs all poisons into itself, thus pro-
tecting the one who wears II as an
amulet. Tuesday Is Elizabeth's lucky
day and 3 her lucky number, the
lily, signifylng innocence, is her flower.

to use it simply because you are writ

Something to
: Think bOut
By r. #. WALKER
WHAT A MAN READS.

q OAIEONE has said that Charles h.
y Hughes, the secretary Of state, did
not read novels or verse while he was
at the university, and that he was so
absorbed In science as to miss all the
poetry and romance Of college life.
To disprove this statement the IL
brarian Of the John Hay library at
the recent commencement OF Brown
university showed In a glass case the
very books that Mr.. Hughes had taken
out. They included the regular novel
lists that everybody Is supposed to
read, and such poets as Tennyson and
Longfellow.
Variety In reading is just as neces-
sary as variety In food.
Some good people did not under
stand this when they objected to nov
els on principle as frivilous and a
waste of time.
A celebrated man Of science OF the
latter part of the Nineteenth century
used 10 find himself losing interest In
his work every now and then. When
this took place he would shut himself
up with a great supply Of dime novels
and read nothing else for week. Then
he would go back to his laboratory as
fresh as ever.
On the other hand, certain French
novelist, whenever he found himself
in need Of a mental rest used to read
the Criminal Code.
Charles Darwin as he grew older
lost all interest In poetry, but found
recreation in novels with good lively
plots that held his attention.
One reason why detective stories are
so popular with all sorts of readers Is
because they appeal to the love of
mystery which is almost universal.
II has been said Of Poe that he
would have made a good detective be-
cause of his gift for fitting together
a criminal mystery. The idea was
that he would have been able to take
criminal puzzles to pieces as well as
put them together. One side Of HIS
work kept him interested In the other.
When a boy is at school or college
his reading is divided into two sorts
voluntary" and involuntary" He
reads for pleasure and he reads for
business
AS nobody's education is ever fin
ished the same division should mark
later life.
Mrs. Asquith In her celebrated
Autobiography" tells how she be-
lOnged to a sort Of society the men,
bers of which agreed to do an hours
serious reading every day.
Doctor Johnson said that II man
read any subject for an hour daily he
could not help becoming learned" His
own great difficulty was that he was
unsystematic.
BY reading certain things for recre-
alton and at the same time following
q course laid down in advance, a per-
son gets the additional benefit Of dis
cipline.
In the Eighteenth century they
thought nothing of reading through
Homer, Virgil and Shakespeare once
a year. No wonder they were able to
think in those days.

TKEY was a young duck, that bis

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
mad" AND ANGRY"

LEW words are more frequently mis-
l. used than mad" AMI angry" 1t
must be confessed, however, that there
is some excuse for the misuse of the
words, since many psychologists hold
that II Is difficult to tell, when the emo
tons of a person are aroused, just
where anger ends and madness begins.
But in grammar there Is a sharp dis
tinction between angry" and mad"
The former means to be veXed or out
OF patience. while the latter indicates
madness, insanity. A person who is
insane Is mad, but person whose
mail is delayed is not mad, but mere
ly angry. There is fgurative use Of
the word "mad"-that is, use in
which the words are not to be taken
literally-such as mad with pain"
mad with terror" etc.
~ am mad at that fellow" says a
man; "he cheated me In a stock deal"
He should say, II am angry at that
fellow" etc.

EDNA.

IF THERE was ever a name with
L out home or country antecedents
or parentage It seems to be Edna.
Etymolog1sts record frankly nothing
In the case OF Edna. She seems to
have just appeared. Something about
her II reminiscent Of the Morse and we
can imagine Yalkyries or the daugh-
tiers Of Vikings bearing such q name,
but history fails to back up our fancy.
1t must seem then that Edna came
In some way from the ever popular
masculine Edward. 1t may, indeed.
be a contraction Of the feminine form
Edwina. Such being the case, Edna's
ancestress must have been the famous
Frau Uote, mother Of Krieminga, who
interpreted her dream and predicted
the early death of her bridegroom.
She Is the original source Of Edwin
and from her came Auder, a female
Viking, one Of the first Icelandic set
tiers who was later known as Aida.
There were three famous Aldas !;
one the wife Of Orlando the Paladin {;
one a queen of Italy 926, and another
n lady Of the house OF Este In 1893.
The masculine forms, Edwin, Ed
ward, Edgar and Edmond, were -four
ishing In England, especially among
royalty, and the name Of Edward, the
greatest Of the Plantaganets, was
carried by his granddaughter to Por-
tugal where its honor was we'll sus-
tanned by her noble son.
Edna's talismanic gem Is rightfully
then, the royal ruby, which gives pow
er and courage and in"incibility to Its
bearer. 1t is the king Of gems and
one who wears 1t Is assured kingly
qualities, so the old legend goes. Mon
day is Edna's lucky day, z her lucky
number, and the poppy is her flower.

High Cost Of Rats.

The fire prevention committee Of the
Building Managers and Owners assOI
citation of New York has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin to It's members: THE
upkeep of rats has gone up. A year
or so ago someone figured out that 1t
cost us $50 per person per year to
feed the rats in the United States. Re
cent figures compiled by a British ex-
pert place this cost In the United
States at S75,OOO,000 a year, which Is
a trifie over 81 per person. This Is
simply for food consumed and de-
stroyed and has nothing whatever to
do with the very considerable fire loss
they cause.
