They are often' the scenes of murders, rob- beries with violence, and similar crimes. One of the worst "tunnel | beats" imsaid to be in Leeds. In the heart of the city there are numesoos arches, #nd the police authorities have found it advisable to have them closely watched, both by night and by day. The arches are haunted by \awless ders, and more than one dead, man has been fomnd there dur ing recent years. Fh hauiity of the "pesky ifpd er of Birmingham--4he well supported by some comrades.

Funny Things You Didn't Know About | Fears For the British Museum on. | Our Nomen:lature. Surnames are nol and some of the most distressing cobn- alth of meaning. the surname with think they are his, by no means, seems to bean imposing cognomen; but, ds a matter of fact, 1t is 'a name of great antiquity, and one of which nobody need be ashamed{ In reality, in ils turn, was corrupted tw Sncoks ul today. The original bearer of the hame of Legless waa so called merely because Lie was a lawyer. Originally, the name was spelled' Laegless, the expression signifying "learned in the law." Strangely enough, Lawless is derived exactly the same source, and signifies exactly the opposite to its | apparent meaning Take the case of the surname Heart. It is really a corruption of Hard, which was a pame given to show that the owner was a man of firm character and resolute bearing One must extend pity w the poor individual burdened ik such a name as Gumboil. Yet those who possess the name may be jaterested to know that it, too, has nothing at all w do with any part of the anatomy. It denotes that its first bearer was a man of considerable importance and great power in the state. It is derived from the Norse word "'gunbald," which it- tion, but means "bold in' war." It is quite wrong tw assume that the name of Smith is derived from the fact thai the original bearers were workers in metal. In reality, Smith is a very fine old name, far more ancient than Anglo-Saxon. The oldest-known bearers of the name were brewers, and it was in use many thousand of years ago in mighty Egypt. uch names as Swearing and Gam- bling show how the original meanin, has become corrupted. Swears une Swearing are derived from the older Sweor, which comes from an Anglo- Saxon word meaning "honorable." "Gambling comes from Gamling, which comes from a Norse word sig- unifying "old descent." The ending "ing" to a surname simply means "son ofl." Thus, Browning means "son of Brown," and Dunning, "Dunn's son." Apparestly, a very ignoble surname is Tremble, a name which might make one imagine that the ancestor of Mr. Tremble was a craven-hearted erea- tare. Still, the exact opposite is the case, for the name is only a corrup- tion of the ancient word "trumbald," which signifies "steadfast and bold." Any individual rejoicing in the name of Mr. Earwig may be proud in the fact that originally name meant the "boar of battle." The sur- name Mouse denoted at'first a man of great courage; while Mr. Ratt gets his name from the fact that the first bearer of the name was a wise person, who gave "counsel" to the king. Goose, Gosling, and Jocelyn are cor. ruptions of a word which originally denoted the "Goths." The first Mr. Gander was an individual called 'the wolf"; while the original Mr. Duck was a "doughty" man. No; surnames are not what they seem. For instance, Lind appears to be a somewhat charming name; all the same, it is derived from a Teu- tonic word meaning a "snake." The apparently quiet and) harmless sur- name Wren comes from a word which denotes "rapine." Then, Fish, though such an innocent name in appearance, originally meant "impetuous." That ommon surname Haddock is derived from a word meaning "war." Never judge a person from his name ! Zena Dare's First Appearance. This popular young actress, who ie engaged to the second son of Lord Esher, confessed to the writer a short time ago that, like her sister Phyllis, | Bir Arthur is known in the navy as she suffers greatly from stage fright, and that before her first appearance as a leading lady in "The Catch of the Beason" at the Vaudeville, Lon- don, in 1904 she was literally petrified with fright. "First I grew ho hour of my debut approached. Then I grew cold. My knees shook and- my teeth chattered. Then I became hot again. In fact, altogether I must have experienced every varia tion of temperature between zero and 104 degrees in the shade. I am per. fectly certain that no criminal sen- tenced to death ever experienced such mental torture as I did on my first appearance in London." Swimming for Actors. Pérhaps the most amusing of the storiés in the Era Annual is the fol- lowing, narrated by Mr. Edward Terry: "Some years ago, when play- ing «t Leeds, 1 started a swimming competition among the members of my company, and, to encourage them, offered as a prize a silver loving cup (won, by the way, by the late Ed- ward Lonnen). The event apparent ly created some interest in the town, and a friend heard two men engaged in a discussion as follows: First Man: 'I say, dust know this 'ere erry's given, a P to bes' swimmer i' company? Man: AR. What's that for?" First Man: 'Oh, k suppose it's to keep them play- actors clean!" * Pat's Retort. A onelegged Welsh orator named Jones was pretty successfu! in ban- tering an Irishman, when the latier asked him: "How di that it was settled in the left leg, had it cut off at once." "By the wers," said would have success. One it is that it does not strelch, There is little use in advertising jor a lost opportunity. There's always a good chance to en- list in the devil's service.

And when the mummy came home, and Mr. lugram present ed it to Lady Meux, who was then geting her collection wgether, certain hieroglyphics weré found to read thus: "If any person of uny foreign coun- try, whether he be black man. or Ethiopian, er Syrian, carry away this writing, or Tt Be stolen by a thief, then whosoever does this, no offering shall be presented to their souls, they shall never enjoy a draught of cool water, they shall never more breathe the air,-no son and no daughter shall aris: from their seed, their name shall be remembered no longer upcen earth, aud most assuredly they shall never see the beams of the Disc" (the Sun self has nothing to do with any afflic- | God). Curiously enough, two years later Mr. Ingram was kiiled while elephant shooting in Somaliland, while in 1900, N.r Henry Meux died ldless, aad his barof®ey became extinct, another clause of the curse therefor: being ful- filed. And now some peopie are won- dering what is going to happen to the directors of the British Museum if they accept the beque English Gambling Schoels. Obtain an entry into some of the many gambling schools in the North of England, and you will probably find out how it is that men manage to live without werk Hundreds of these men attend the gamblin_, schools regularly two and three times a week and risk their all on the tossing of two coins. Rings are formed. Copper is used at one, silver at another, gold at an. other. A man is paid to toss up two coins, and the "punters" wager their pounds, shillings, or pence, as the case may be, on the coins dropping heads or sails. "Crows" keep a look out for the approach of the police One week a man may be in the gold ring, the next in the silver, and the third in the copper circle. A gambler in the West Riding of Yorkshire was pointed out to The Answers' cor respondent as having lost over £2,000 in these schools, whilst another makes a paint of speculating the whol: of his rent-money every week Some men, of course, do well, but there are hundreds of Northern wives and daughters who would delight in the abolition of these "schools.""-- Answers. The "Silent Admiral." For the first time in his life Sir Arthur K. Wilson, First" Sea Lord and chief expert adviser to the Ad. miralty, has entered inte the public controversy regarding the strength of the navy. A man who prefers deeds to words, "Tug" Wilson, as he is popularly termed in the service, is recognized as being without equal as a strategist and tactician. He is one of the very few naval officers who have earned the coveted V.C. This was at the Battle of El Teb in 1854, when the Arabs broke the square formed by the Nawal Brigade, and he sprang into the breach and engaged the engmy with his bare fists, having broke his sword. Bir Redvers Buller described the act as "one of the most courageous he had ever witnessed "the man who never takes & holiday." for he rarely goes ashore, even when his fleet or flagship visits any port He regards every moment spent away from the service as wasted. That "Cursed" Weed. In his book of reminiscences, "One Bir Algernon the recent society case, who for some time was Mr. Gladstone's private secretary and most trusted confidential adviser, says that the G.OM. "hated the smell of tobacco, and once accused me of bringing the odious aroma of the 'cursed' weed .nto his room Meanly anxious to excuse myself, for 1 never smoked before going into his presence, I said 1 had been sitling for half am hour with Sir William Harcourt. Sueh was Mr. Gladstone's innocence that -he said, 'Does Har. court smoke? I am sure if he does he must always change his clothes before he comes to me, for 1 have never perceived that he smokes. Feet of the Nations. Anthropologists assert that the Frecchman's foot is long and narrow and well proportioned. The Scotch- man's foot, according to these authori- ties, is high and thick, strong and muscular and capable of hard work. The Russian's foot possesses one pe culiarity, the toes being fen ly webbed" to ths first joint. The Tar tar's foot is short and heavy, the foot of a certain type of savage, and the toes are the same length. The Bpan- merally small, but finely curved. The Englishman's foot is in most cases short and rather fleshy and not, as a rule, as strong proportionately as it should be. -------------------------- Stamps In Rolls.
