# The names of streets are more closeâ€" Iy linke] with history than many peo plo imagine, a fact which if borne in mind by the visitor to London will aca| greatly to the interest of a tour round the capital of the Empire. * Fleet Street, the hub of the newsâ€" paper world, for instance, received ltl' name from the Fleet, a swiftlyâ€"moving stream, now converted into a sewer. Mitre Court, Folcon Court, and Red Lion Court were so named to perpetuâ€" ate the memory of three ancient tayâ€" erns which bore these signs for many vears. Shoe Lane is founded upon a tndi-‘ tional story of the devil who, whilst kidnapping a certain Lady Hatton of Queen Elizabeth‘s day, dropped one of her shoes in Shoe Lane and her cloak in Cloak Lane, near Cannon Street. White Friars Street once marked the western boundary of the monastery of the Carmelites, or White Friars, which was built in the year 1245; while Blackfriars Bridge and Black{friars Road were named after the monastery of the Dominicans, or Black Friars, who established themselves on the site of Printing House Square. Ludgate Hill was named after the old Lud Gate built by King Lud in the year 66 B.C., on the spot where the rallway now crosses this busy thorâ€" ougbfare. The gate was removed in 1760. Cheapside denotes that side of the Cheap where the rich goldsmiths had their premises, the Cheap being originâ€" ally the Saxon word for market; while Broadway was considered a fine road in the days when London streets were so narrow that opposite neighbors Shopkeepers, too, have influenced the names of many streets. Ironmanâ€" ger Lane was the habitation of the ironmongers during the reign of Edâ€" ward I.; Bread Street that of the bakers; Friday Street the home of the fishmongers who supplied the fastâ€"day markets; while Milk Street was the site of the ancient milk market. The Old Jewry was the privileged quarter of the Jews and their first synagogue was erected there in 1262. Throgmorton â€" Street and Nicholas Lane were both named after Sir Nichâ€" olas Throgmorton, a wealthy London banker who is said to have been pois oned by one of the Earl‘s of Leicester could shake hands out of the topâ€"story windows. fai S ORIES OF LONDON‘S Threadneedle Street is a corruption of Three Needie Street, so called from the arms of the Needlemakers‘ Comâ€" pany, while Houndsditch was the old ditch beyond the city wall which was popularlly regarded as the proper deâ€" pository for dead dogs. The coaching days were responsible for the name of Snow Hill, formerly desâ€" cribed as "Snore Hill," from the fact that the stageâ€"coach passengers inâ€" tended for the "Saracen‘s Head" were generally fast aslcep when they arâ€" rived at their destination. Holborn is a contraction of "The Hollow Bourne," indicative of a stream in a hollow. The name appears in the Doomsday Book as "Holebourne." The Strand literally means the strand of the Thames, and at one time Somerset House and a few other large mansions were the only buildings on its southâ€" ern side; while Convent Garden was originally Convent Garden, belonging to St. Paul‘s Convent. Rotten Row is really a corruption of route de roi, the French for "Route of the King," to the historic royal restâ€" dence at Kensington. The wellâ€"known thoroughfare Piccadilly was named afâ€" ter "Picadilla Hall," its most westerly building during the reign of Elizabeth, which was used as a depot for the gale of the then fashionable Picadilly lace, so called on account of its little spearâ€"like points, Southampton Street and Grafton Btreet and Fitzroy Square are desigâ€" nated after the Earls and Lords of Bouthampton, who were the ground landlords at the time when the names were bestowed. In robuster ages and in a more primitive society there used to be much popular interest in the sort of competition in which the prize went to the man who could dispose of the largest amount of food in a given time. A contest of that sort was organized in a mining town in the north of Engâ€" land. One competitor, a giant collier #ix feet in height and broad in proporâ€" tion, succeeded in disposing of a leg of mutton, a plentiful supply of vege tables and a plum pudding washed down with copious draughts of ale. He was unanimously declared the winner and was being triumphantly esâ€" corted home when he turned to his adâ€" mirers and said: "Eh, lads, say, don‘t say nowt a‘ this to my old woman, or she won‘t gie me no dinner!" _ A promising new variety of timothy has been originated by the Division of Forage Plants of the Dept. of Agriâ€" culture, Canada. _A few superior strains of western rye grass, Kenâ€" tucky blue grass, and red clover also hswe been developed.

Drawn out by the sun, the tar runs into deep pools. Similar sands are found at intervals from latitude 57 degrees to beyond the Arctic circle. The soaked area is possibly 10,000 square miles. name of Boon A Mighty Appetite. NEVIN. Varlatlonoâ€"MacNevln, Bone, Bonass, Racial Originâ€"Irish. Sourceâ€"A given name. The family name of Nevin should not be confused with that of Niven, though, owing to the ease with which one form may be corrupted fnto the other through the simple transposiâ€" tion of vowels which sound very much allke, there is no doubt that there have been many instances in which Niven has been changed into Nevin, and vice versa. The family name of Nevin, unlike Niven, is distinctly Irish. It is not found among the historical lists of the Scottish clans. It is derived from the given name of "Cnamhin," which means a bone," and appears in its true Irish form as "O‘Cnaimhin" or "MacCnatmhin," with a pronunciation virtually the same as "nevin." In some cases Irish clans of this name trace it back to a younger brothâ€" er of "Owen Mor," or Owen the Great, one of the ancient Irish monarchs, though the family name does not track back to this same individual in all cases. At various periods under pressure of English laws and customs, the name has been translated into the English equivalent "Bone," and into Bonass and Bowen on account of their similar sounds. There is a family name of Bowen, also of Welsh origin, but it is not the HEALTHY CHILDREN ALWAYS SLEEP WELL The healthy child sleeps well and during its waking hours is never cross but always happy and laughing. It is only the sickly child that is cross and peevish. Mothers, if your children do not sleep well; if they are cross and cry a great deal, give them Baby‘s Own Tablets and they will soon be well and happy again. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomâ€" ach, banish constipation, eolic and inâ€" digestion and promote healthful sleep. They are absolutely guaranteed free from opiates and may be given to the newâ€"born babe with perfect safety.

Racial. Originâ€"Scottish, Sourceâ€"A locality. Beveral conflicting and fenciful explanations have been given of the origin of the family name of Arbuthâ€" The truth is that it is one of those family names which were originally place names, and in its first use it deâ€" signated merely the place from which the individual had come or the terriâ€" tory over which he held some sort of suzerainty. Arbuthnot is a place in Scotland. The older records show it was at one time spelled Aberbuthnoth. One family bearing this name at least traces back in unbroken line to the period in the Middle Ages when the name was deliberately adopted as a result of the feudal sway which it held over the district. But while there is a chance that any one bearing this family name might trace his ancestry specifically to this family at some period or other, it does not necessarily follow that such is the case. Some ancestor who merely lived in that district might have beâ€" come known by the name upon his moving to some other locality. Whethâ€" er feudal sway or mere former restâ€" dence was indicated, the prefix to the family name in the first place would have been the same, "de," the Normanâ€" French method of saying "of."

So far from deciding how our olfacâ€" tory nerves work, science has not yet discovered what scent is.

The making of plaster masks from livicg faces bids fair to gupersede porâ€" traitâ€"painting and photography in Vienna. A wellâ€"know1 sculptor has established a studio for this purpose, and is doing a thriving businessâ€"the majority of his clients being women. A mask of this kind can be made in a quarter of an hour, and costs about twentyâ€"five dollars. The skin is smeared all over with grease, the eyes closed with sticking plaster and the ears stuffed with cotton wool. A tube between the lips, and another in the nostril, prevents euffocation, while silk threads are placed on the skin before the plaster is put on to make it easy to remove when the "sitting" is over. Masks of women made in this way are often finished off with wigs, while those of men may be adorned with hats. Their terrible rigidity and deathâ€" like pallor have an éffect which is both weird and gruesome to the last deâ€" gree. But the sculptor could not get orders for statues and he had to live. So he started this business, which bids fair to become far more remunerative than the mere carving of marble. A Month Later.

In his bill next day he found them chargedâ€" "Twenty candles, ten francs" (two dolâ€" Minard‘s Liniment Relieves Pain lars). He went back to the room and took out all the candles, wrapped each one in a bit of paper and slipped them into his overcoat pocket.

Then he drew out his package and disâ€" tributd the candles, one to each.. "Alâ€" low me, monsieur," be said, with a bow; "permit me, madame. They are very superior candles.

OGDEN‘S LIVERPOOL Is Britain becoming higher in the north and lower in the south? Scienâ€" tists say that it is. * Recently a number of readings have been taken to find out the height above seaâ€"level of the land in various districts, The results show that since the last readings were taken, about fifty years ago, the North of Scotland has risen about half an inch, while the South of England has sunk by rather less than that distance. It is already an accepted fact that land is rising and falling in other parts of the world. The coast of Norâ€" way, for instance, is rising about half an inch a year, while the coast of Holâ€" land is sinking by that amount. Britain once formed part of the mainland of Europe. The land in beâ€" tween graduaily samk until the sea covered it and formed the English Channel and the North Sea. Such earth movements, gradual or | convulsive, are in operation ceaselessâ€" ly upon the earth‘s surface, Their imâ€" pulse seemingly arises from the fact that, the core of the earth being of heavier material than the crust on which we live, the latter naturally reâ€" sponds to the expansion or shrinkage of the mass, largely metallic, which it surrounds. l A diver named Cappadona telle a graphic story of a terrific underwater encounter which he has just had with a stingâ€"ray more than a yard square.
