TRIXIE

TRIXIE is not merely the colloquial
= contraction Of Beatrice as is gen.
orally supposed In fact, Trixie was
in vogue in England before Beatrice
was used as a feminine proper name.
1t comes, of course, from the Italian
beator, meaning "blesser" and came
into existence through BeoCrix, which
sprang full-grown and without ante
cedent into the usage of DiocIetian's
time, when Christian maiden, so
called, was martyred and her relics
later enshrined in a church at Rome.
Beatrix became almost a national
name in Italy, and England quickly
acquired it, cut off the first three let
tiers, in many instances and evolved
the endearment, Trix. Shakespeare
took the same name, changed the end
ing and called his high-spirited he
roine, Beatrice. In Spain, it named
many queens, but despite its associa-
ton with royalty and with the great

There was a so-called financial wiz

prosper in their speculations. If by
any chance an investment made under
his advice did go wrong the customer
was at once to communicate with him
for further guidance; thus ran the
promise of his published announce
ments.

WITCHES

TT APPEARS as if the belief in
1 witches would never die out. Only
a short time ago in New York police
court a woman exhibited to the judge
a child with wasted limbs and accused
another woman present of having be-
witched it. This superstition has ex-
listed from remotest times in all coun-
tries and among all races.
At times it has taken on terrible
form-that of an epidemic ragged
with virulence; as in England in the
days of James / and in New England
in the days of Cotton Mather. Among
English-speaking people female
witches have ever been more common
than male; which that learned fool"
King James, in his notable work on
witchcraft, accounts for by saying that
women being the weaker sex are more
easily led astray by the devil.
The family tree of tie witch extends
back to the Witch of Endor and far
beyond her into the time of mans
first attempt to comprehend the phe-
nomena by which he found himself
surrounded. 1t was very natural that
primitive man should attribute SUPER
natural powers to those who surpassed
or perplexed him by superior knowl-
edge or by peculiarities of person or
conduct. 1t is human nature to be
awed by things we cannot comprehend
and to be suspicious of persons and
things Of a sinister appearance What
more natural than that some evil-Iook-

Serge From China

Two textiles owe their names and
origin to France; these are cretonne
and cambria, the first OF which came
originally from the Normandy town
of Creton, while the second is still
manufactured at Cambria Serge was
introduced into this country from
China in 1860. The Latin name for
China is Serica, from which the mod
ern word ''serge" has gradually
evolved.

fact, l have but little doubt that the
coroner will decide, when your bodies
are recovered some few miles down

There Spoke Envy's Voice

The town drunkard of small
Scotch community went on an especi-
ally vehement tear. The village au-
thorities locked him up until he HAD
entirely recovered.
On the second day of his captivity,
as he sat in his cell, thirsty beyond
words, the minister, who was of full
habit of life, came to give him con-
ISOLATION and good advice.
They sat down side by side and the
dominic read the parable of the Prod
igal Son. The prisoner seemed to
hang on the words. He nudged up
closer and closer, bending forward
until his face was almost IN the min.
listers face, and listened.
"Please read it over once more" he
said when the dominic had finished
the chapter and started to close the
Good Book
Touched by this further sign of
penitence the minister read it again.
''Tell me, poor man." he said when
he was done, what was it held you
so close the while was reading was
it the lesson of the Scripture or was
it the words?'
NAY, nay,' said the tippler-" twas

Strangely enough, his eyesight must
have been defective-or else he was
so flustered by your amazing action
that he was incapable Of noticing
everything at such a moment. Be
cause he actually failed to see that
your charming wife was seated beside
you. In the moment of panic when
she realized you had tainted, she
leant forward-doubtless to try and
throw out the clutch. Yes"-his
eyes, cold and expressionless, were
turned momentarily OIL Phyllis-"I
think that is what she must have done.
That accounts for the not very intel
Iigent gate-opener failing to see her.
But that she was there is certain.
Because, Captain Drummond, both
bodies will be recovered from the
river the day after tomorrow, shall
we say? some two or three miles
downstream"
He was leaning forward, his elbows
on the table-and for the first time
Drummond understood something of
the diabolical hatred which Peterson
felt for him. He had never shown it
before: he was far too big a man
ever to betray his feeling unneces-
sarily. But now, as he sat facing him,
gently rubbing his big white hands to-
gether, Drummond understood.
THANK you thousand times" he
repeated in the same gentle voice.
"And since you are so concerned about
the matter, will tell you my plan in
some detail. / need hardly say that
any suggestions you make on any
points that may strike you will receive
my most careful attention. When the
car crashed into the water it carried
you and your wife with it. You were
both hurled out as the car plunged
into the water, and somewhat naturally
you were both thrown forward. Head
foremost, you will note, Drummond,

est romance Of literature, the quaint
ly abbreviated Trix persisted in Eng

The latter appeared too curt to

Trixie came into existence here and

Gifts Imagined to Amend for Ugliness

An English writer tells how. being
in theater with foreigner he asked
him the inevitable question as to what
he thought of London. Il never saw
so many ugly people in my life" was
the startling reply. On looking about
him the writer felt that the reply of
the foreigner was not far astray.
From this he inquiries as to why it
is that in a country blessed with pref
ty children there should grow up such
unattractive adults, and he concludes
that civilization is doing something to
the race-something undesirable, an
less we are to assume that ugly peo-
pie are brainier than handsome ones.
This every handsome man and wO-
man among US sgill hasten to deny.

The Evidences of Regeneration

The Evidences of Regeneration
By unanimous vote of the planta-
ton hands one Henry Johnson was
held to be the wickedest man on the
place. He shot craps, he had served
a year on the chain-gang for swinging
a wicked razor, and, generally, lived
a wild free, reckless life. Accord
ngly, there was rejoicing at Zion
church when word spread that Henry
at last had seen the light and had
been converted.
The revival meeting whereat he had
been redeemed eliminated one Sunday
in grand baptizing on Goose creek.
Henry had an eight-mile tramp to
reach the appointed spot. When he
started from his cabin after breakfast
he slowed dozen cold biscuits in the
front of shirt, meaning to refresh him
self on the way. But in his newborn
exaltation he actually forgot to eat.
great host was gathered on the
creek bank, and, at his appearance.
loud hallelujahs arose in fervent
chorus. The preacher laid hands on
Henry and, aided by two of the dea-
cons, escorted him to the middle of
the stream where the. water was
waist-deep. AS the clergyman, pro-
nouncing the words of the ritual, inn
mersed Henry deeply in the water
the lowermost button of Henry's shirt
slipped from its buttonhole and rapid
~, one by one, four huge cold biscuits
arose to the surface and went bobbing
down the current.
From the shore q devout sister
raised sudden cry:

According to recent reports there is
