an interview with a popular actress with no mention of the old home, mother and the lilacs.'
 Next to participating in beauty contest or discovering a new recipe that gives p per cent in two weeks, public speaking after the crumbs have been brushed away is the quickest way to renown. Many . person has climbed to fame over the dead bodies of the toastmasters.
 After the demi-tasse the habitual banqueter takes his manila out of its cold-storage wrapping of tinfoil, clips one end, applies a match to the other, emits a comfortable sigh and settles back in his chair ready to be amused. A word about the gentleman at the ringside might help to show the diff culties that the speaker encounters.
 The man who eats an oyster-to-ice- cream, prepared-in-advance banquet on the average of once a week is not the easiest bird in the world to land when your net is composed of ideas and words. He knows all the formula of the usual attack; he can detect ''line" with the unerring skill that a chorus girl picks the Johnny with the Rolls Royce and the inflated wallet,

~AO an inquiry about the effect of
 drinking water with meals,
 the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association re- plies:
 "The immediate effect of water dur ing meal is certainly one of dilution. However, this fact has been over-em- phasized by those who are adverse to the drinking of water with meals, for it has been shown indubitabIy by sev- eraI investigators, working on dog and man, that water itself promotes a secretion of gastric juice, and that when water is given shortly before or with a meal 1t has very definite eff feet in increasing the secretory re- sponse of the stomach as regards volume of juice and acidity. A given amount of water has less and less eff feet on gastric secretion the longer the time interval between the meal and the giving of water (Sutherland). Ivy has likewise found that the ingestion of water with the meal increases the amount and the free and total acidity of the gastric juice. Incidentally, the ingestion of water with meals de- creases the emptying time of the stomach"

you to look out for the fire engine?' Sure, an oi did, said Pat, but how did oi know them crazy painters was comin' along?'"
 Then the speaker, when his audi ence had stopped laughing, put across his point, and through the medium of the joke it will be remembered. He was merely going on the wel1-known theory that the best way to remember is by association, and if you can make person think of an important fact concerning anything by telling him story about the humorous side of mat rinony, that is the thing to do. He will remember it long after he has stopped seeing anything funny in marriage.
 In other words, the good after-din- ner speaker tells you something you ought to know in the form of some thing you like to hear.

EngIand's Death Rate.

The registrar general of England and Wales publishes figures that show a great reduction in the death rate and a substantial increase in the birth rate. The general death rate is now only 12.4 to 1000; the infant mortality is 80 to 1000 births, while in 1916 it was 97, from 1901 to 1910 it was 128, and from 1891 to 1900, 153.
 The general birth rate is now 24.4 to 1000 Of the total population; in Lon don it is 26.3; in hundred large towns, 26.2, and in 150 smaller towns,

Energy in HouseworkI

Elaborate devices have been built and used by the Office of Home Eco monies of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture to determine the energy expended by woman in the performance of various household op- erations.
 The principal of operation, as set forth in the Scientific American, recog- nizes that variations in the change of energy in the body are attended by corresponding variations in the beat output
 Thus the less arduous tasks of sew ing. crocheting, knitting, darning and eIasroidering involved an expenditure Of nine calories an hour in excess. of the heat output when the woman sub

and can tell after the first 20 sentences whether the speaker has any more to say than the cheer leader of a deaf and dumb asylum. Like the mass play in old-fashioned football, the fel- low that talks after the walters have tucked can't make a first down by re- sorting to brute strength and thump- ing on the table. The man with the loudest voice used to get the best hand. but things change and now most peo- pie look with suspicion at the orator who bellows like a cross between sideshow barker and the fog horn on the Leviathan. Noise doesn't count as much as it once did; we haven't time to listen to it.
 Equally irritating is the speaker who acts as though his speech were secret between himself and the second stud on his dress shirt. He drops his head and mumb1es into the orifce of his collar and the diners at the far end of the table hear something that sounds like a Chinese serenade.
 What was the last part?" asks Bill, turning to the gentleman on his left.
 Sounds like 'um gub sub tum gub,'" replies that individual in dis gust.
 There was 8 time when a speaker could pull himself to his feet and say, "Gentlemen, am totally unprepar- ed" but if he tried that stunt now he would get about as much attention as a dress shirt at the Arctic Circle. There was period, also, in the his- tory of the world when emperors got away with the divine right bunk, but not today.
 At a dinner few weeks ago the speaker wanted to drive home an idea on the importance of not being dis . tracted by superficial events.
 He said, Pat was new arrival in this country. He had come directly from the peat bogs to the west side of the Delaware river. By chance, during his life, he had never seen fire en- zine. The first day that he was in the big city there was an alarm and the apparatus came tearing down the street. Pat was so curious that he ran into the street to see this shining wagon that belched smoke out of a chimney. A policeman seeing him shouted: Get back there, you'll be run over!' Pat sprang back onto the curb, but as soon as the engine had passed he rushed into the middle of the street again to gaze after this new marvel, and he was knocked down by the hook and ladder wagon The cop picked him up and said: Didn't tell

Osmiridium in Tasmania.

Recent exploration and develop- n1ent have revealed enormous deposits of osmiridium and gold-bearing grav- els in the valleys of the large rivers of the western division of Tasmanias which is the sole producer on large scale of point metaP' osmiridium. Tasmania, Russia, Columbia and Papua are the four principal osmiridium pre- ducing countries of the world, and Tasmania is by far the most impor- tant of these.

arm), Swift, Straight, Crook, Small, Black, White, Green, Brown and Grey.
 The likeness of persons to certain animals produced such names (origi- nally nicknames) as Fox, Catt, Bull, Lamb, Badger and Bird.
 People from other lands received and kept the names of Scott, Irish. French, Dane, Norman Gaeaning Nor wegian), Holland and Spain.
 To the last class of surnames be- long those which denote place of birth. Originally a man would be known as. say, John O London, then the %" or "of'' was dropped, and he became simply John London.

was found by ordaining that 1andown- CTS should add the name of their estates to their first names. Thus we had Henry of Winchester. Henry of Durham, Henry of Peterborough, and so on
 At that time men were known also by their trades or calling and as son usually succeeded father in business, a great class of what we may call trade names soon sprang up. There were possibly several Johns in vil- 1age, but as their occupation varied one was called John the Tailor, an- other John the Fisher, and third John the Tanner
 Butcher, Baker, Etc.
 When the original Johns died their sons, who might be Henry, James, and Robert, took on their businesses and names. To this class of surnames be- long Smith, Fletcher (which means "arrow-maker'D Butcher, Weaver, Collier, Winter (which is Vintner, or wine merchantl, Leach (doctor or "vet'). Clark, Painter, Butler, and host of others.
 The development of surnames went on also in other directions. Three Johns, for example, might be distin- guished not by the trades but by the Christian names of their fathers. The first might be John Robins son, the next John Johns son, and the third John Herbert's son. In this way the multitude of "son" surnames came into being-Jaekson, Peterson, Jame- son, and the like
 Again, instead of calling a man Hen ry Rogers son, he might be known simply as Rogers Henry, or Henry Rogers. Thus Gilbertson, Gi1berts, Gibson, and Gibbs are really all the same name, Gib being the diminutive or afectionate form of Gilbert
 The Next Step.
 The next step was to distinguish men by means of nicknames referring to their physical powers, or the color Of their hair, eyes. complexion. or clothing. These nicknames became crystalized into surnames. Examples are Armstrong Cor Strong in the

AHERE is no more interesting g
 study than that of surnames. the evolution of which in many instances is remarkable, if not romantic.
 Prior to the Norman conquest of England such things as surnames were unknown. The country was very sparsely populated, so that the single Christian name usually suffced to dis tinguish a man from his fellows. - When the Normans came they brought very few Christian names with them; the majority were Henrys, Johns, Williams or Richards. So it be- came necessary to have some means of distinguishing between them.
