I was ruminating about the origin of names, Anglo-Saxon names, and find it to be a curio is and interesting study .

It seems that the common people didn't need but one name until long after the. Christian era. The Ro mans, however, began a system to honor and distinguish distinguished people. hey adopted pre-nomen a nomen and a cognomen as rubiius Cornelius Scipio Publiua was his.

Horace was called Horateus Flaccus because he had very large ears, and Flaccus means flop- eared. It was not till the eleventh cen tury that family names were handed down to succeeding generations, and this custom was adopted because, of a law requiring births and marriages and deaths to be registered in the parish booka. As late as the eighteenth cen tury many families in England had no surnames, and the children were given nicknames, as Nosy, .Soaker, Sucker; Snaggletooth, Cockeye, Jumper,- Bow legs, Red top, etc. -y ' As people multiplied, new methods had to be devised to distinguish them. Prefixes and -affixes were resorted to The word son was . added to distinguish the father from the children, as John, Johnson, Will, Wilson, Tom, Tompson The word Fitz was a prefix to Norman namas and came from filsor film, a son. Vitch in the Russian .language has the same meaning, and so has von or van in German, and Mac in Scotch and Irish, as MacDonald, the son of Don aid. O is an Iriah prefix and means a grandson, aS O Connor, O'Barr, O'Hal laran, etc. Be or Due is the French prefix for son and Ap means the same in Welch. These affixes and prefixes will classify a great number of names, for from John came Jonson, Johnson, Johnston and Johnstone;. The Smith fanTilv name had a peculiar origin. The old Anglo-Saxons were ever , on the lookout for invasions of the island, and hence they kept a large force of men on the hills near the coast to look out for the invaders and to smite them when they came. .

Charles Lamb says that ' the original name of Bacon was Hogflesh, who was a-very wealthy and clever gentleman but his girl wouldn't marry him because she couldn't bear to be called Mrs. Hog flesh. It would be awful. ' And so he applied to Parliament and -.had bis named changed to Bason. He couldn't give up tbe whole hog but took it cured. Many names were abridged or changed from circumstances. John at the Moor was changed to Atmore, and At the Wood to Atwood and Peter at the Sev en Uaks to I'eter snooks. . . vvm, tne tailor, had a sign of a peacock over his shop and got to be called Wilt Peacock. Anselm, the pawn broker, ' had a sign of a red shield which in tbe Jewish lan guage was -Rothschild, and so he and his brothers were called Rothschilds and became the richest men in the world.

" Appletonls Popular Science Monthly. The modern plan of instruction of fered by the University of North Caro lina more than one hundred years ago was the workof.a commitee of six. Two of this committee were graduates of Princeton, one a graduate and ex-professor of the University of Pennsyleania, two had been students of Harvard, but their education at Cambridge had been interrupted by the Revolutionary W ar, and the sixth was an eminent lawyer. The names of these men were Samuel McCorkle, David Stone,-Alfred Moore, Samuel Ashe," Hugh Williamson, and John Hay. The course planned by this committee in 192 gave great promi nence to the scientific studies, especially those which could be applied to the arts, The report further recommended the purchase of apparatus for experimental philosophy and astronomy, in which must be included a set of globes, ba rometer, thermometer, microscope, tele scope, quadrant, prismatic glass, elec tncal machine and air pump. 1 he an cient classics were made elective, , the degree of Bachelor- of Arts being ob tainable without the Study of either Latin or Greek. In 1800, however, Latin was made a required study, and an election allowed between French and Greek; and in 1804 .Greek was added to the required studies. It is remarkable that this scheme adopted in 1792 is al most identical with that v adopted by Coneress for the colleees to be formed under what is known as the Agncultu ral and Mechanical College Land Act of SAM" JONES DISCOURSES ON TI1E HOLT ' WORD, WIKE." " To say that a woman is a wife, one may or may not mean much by that; but when a man says "that . woman is my wife, " he jncans everything. ' A man's wife is mighty near his -everlasting all. God's best gift to a little boy is a good mother; God's grandest gift to a grown mants a good wife. - A good wife is an helpmeet; a sorry wife is a hinder meet. If a good wife is a bless ing, then a sorry wife is a curse.. The average young man imagines that all he wants is a wife; -and he knows as little about tbe, qualities ptreqjisite to a good wife aa a hog knows about Latin. He wants a wife and nothing else, and when he gets her he finds all he has is a wife and. that h? needs everything else. - I took dinner with a young preacher once; it was a charming dinner; he -had a charming home because he had a charming wife.' When I walked away from his home with him, I said to him: "My young friend, you have a jewel for a wife." He said I know that, and I got her on purpose. He said two of ray oldest brothers married for money; they got a good deal of mcney; but tnighty little "gal." When-1 started out hunting me a wife, I said to myself I am not hunting a fortune in money; I am just hunting-pure "gal." ' I got what I was hunting for. I got no money, but I got a wife worth millions tome. A man gets what he hunts for when he goes wife-hunting. There are some essentials which a woman must have if she would make a good wife. ' . First, sincerity. A want of sincerity will un dermine the character of any woman. Sincerity is the basis . of all good character. A man whose wife has this essential has the foundation on which she can all other noble (ra t for with sincerity we have integrity: a woman who will not deceive; a woman who' is not a cheat or a fraud in any thing from bangs to shoes. . Then there must be the elements of firmness. A little, . fickle, unstable woman has wrecked many men and ruined many homes. I admire a wo man who decides and takes a stand and no power can move her. v Unflinchingly she stands by her convictions and her sense of right and wrons. - She 'cannot be dragged or persuaded to go to those places or to any place against hei sense of right A good wife must be an industrious woman, .from a lazy woman, m tne language of the Episcopal prayer book, Good Lord deliver us." industry can always find work to do and a home will soon tell whether a wife be an industrious woman or not. A good wife is a woman who does have to cultivate a love for her home: it is born in her; she does not have to cultivate it; it grows with her erowth and strengthens with her strength. In all this world there is no: place to her like her home. A good wife not only loves, home, but loves children. The wife who looks upon children as a naisance and cradles and baby carriages as useless appendages is either barren by nature or unfit for the name of wife. Canary birds and poodle dogs can never take the place of children with a worthy wife. She' is a companion to her husband say: Her heart ought to be bigger than her head. Her bear! ought to be superior in that rt Uil.knr(. U .1 ui m net uuwauu, me liusuauu o head ought to be Superior to hers. . He who gets a good' wife starts out with a big capital on hand. She will bring to his life and horn a thousand blessings, a thousand ohariis; she will keep out of his life and . home a thousand things that blight and hurt and ruin. It ia a thousand times more the duty of a good wife to look after her husband's charac ter arid the hours he keeps and. the places he goes; than it is to patch his plothes or darn his socks. She can hire them done for him perhaps .cheaper than she can do it herself. ,. r A man who has a eood wife ousht and -must confide in her." She ought to be posted about all his matters. He ought to take; her advice. A good woman's intuition is almost as unerring as thefjudments of God. "I am sure the mistakes ofmy: life have been- many. and I am also Sure thatlhe biggest mis takes I have ever made have been about those things wnen my wife could "1 told you so. I never Isaw a good wife who was not a good mother. I never saw a good mother who wasn't a good wife. The qualities are either blended or else they are all the same that make both "char acters. - The men in history whoso lives have been brought to the front, the great doctors, the great lawyers, the great preachers, the millionaires, very few of them have ever been mismated in mar riage, v - . ' A sensible woman soon learns to be a balance for you on one aide and a pro pelling force on the other. .She knows what phases of her husband's life need the brakes and which phases needs tap ping up. She knows that her own hap pine and fieace depend . on the well being and success of her husband. She is happy only as he is good and true and successful. Realizing that she is a helpmeet, she' will not be a binder meet loung man, get you a good wife and your fortune's made; get the other sort and you had better take to the woods. - Sam Jones.

This unusual and unique monument marks the grave of . a once . prominent citi2en. " He was prominent in business, prominent in , politic?, prominent in social affairs He was the personification of business integrity, a leader in public enterprises, the exemplar of the young men of the community. By and by, even as some insidious disease takes possession of the human body, appetite for strong drink took possession of this business man,, this political-leader, this social lion, this model for young men. It came about like this: Fiist, the glad new year's nappy greeting, then the convivial cup l at the campfire and the club; then the public reception and the cordial enter tainment of the city s honored guest. His history is simply the old, old story. He fell from his lofty pedestal, from his high estate, from heaven to hell. - Prosperity, political standing, social influence, everything was swept into the great vortex wherein sooner or Kter is engulfed all that has been or is of him who looketh upon the wine when it is red. He died and was buried. The people, a great multitude, stood i uncov ered by the side of his open grave and listened, reverently, to the words of the preacher, who recounted the many good things the man, now dead, had.said and donowhen living, though some marveled much at his neglect to "adorn a tale and point amoral." . And long lines of civic societies, with their plumes- nod dings in the breeze and their rich regalia a picture of beauty, threw over the rich casket "the broad mantle of charity," and cast into tbe open grave the em blems of immortality. - The man had lived and was dead and buried, and the great world, forgetting his faults and frailties, remembered only his excellences. But the . widow. She remembered-even - if she did not re member the virtues of her husband the cursed cause of ruin. And one day, by her orders, the imposing monument above his grave was erected, and around it, from apex to granite base, the sculp tor has- chiseled from the inanimate marble a snake of many colls, whose forked tongue, ever protruding, and stony eyes, never closing, are a constant warning to all who look upon it and read the strapge device upon the pol'shed surface of the granite base, that "at last it biteth like a serpent and etingeth like an adder. , 6 cents.

Some one eager to see if you drank the liquor will raise up the hat, when you instantly take the glass and drink the contents, saying, i "uentiemen, 1 have fulfilled ray prom ise... lou are all witnesses that I did not touch the hat;' Quite Tired t Out.You undertake to make a person so tired. by attempting to carry a small stick out of the room aa to be unable to accomplish-it,- al though you may add nothing- to liis burden,nor lay any restraint upon his personal liberty. To perform this ma noeuvre, you take up the stick, and cut- goff a very small sliver -you urrect Him to carry it out of the room and re turn for more, concluding by telling him that you mean him to perforin as many similar journeys as you can cut pieces of the stick. As this may be made to amount to many thousands, he will of course gladly give up the undertaking. Something Oct of the Common. Having picked up a stick or stone off a common, you tell a person that you are about to show him something which will surprise him something in fact out of the common." Having thus ex cited his . curiosity, you produce the stick or stone, or whatever else you may have picked up, which of course he will examine very intently, and at length observe that he Bees nothing extraordi nary in it. "That may be," you reply, and yet I assure you that it is really something out of the common." This will-no doubt set him upon a fresh ex amination, which will naturally end in his asking for an explanation. This you give by telling him that though not uncommon, it is out of the common, for it is out of - Common; and no doubt the company present-will indulge in a hearty - laugh at the querist's expense. - magic uircle, lou tell a person you will place him in the centre of a room, and draw a circle of chalk round him, which shall not extend three feet in di ameter, yet out of which he shall not be able to leap, though his legs shall be perfectly free.

Old-World stories about husbands who ill-treat their wives always - place the blame upon the wives in some way. It is a part of the philosophy of this same Old W orld to excuse- the man s short comings and exaggerate- the woman's. It virtually says that if husbands art unkind, it is because wives disturb them in their ease or their annusements. An example of the prevailing European philosophy on this subject is given in a story told of a French clerey man of Normandy. 116 informed, his Superior that he had been much troubled bv the complaints of wives that their hUEbands beat them when under tbe influence of hard cider, until he hit upon a medioine which cured the trouble. V "A medicine? Do you give it to the husbands to lessen the quarrelsomeness due to the drink?" . "Oh no, I give it to the wives." "To the wives! Tell me about it." "Well, when the women come to me containing that their husbands are beat ing them, I show them, some little medicine phials which are labelled in Latin, 'Aqua stillata,' ; 'Vinus puiei', and so forth. Then I tell them that the contents of these bottles, if taken by a wife, will prevent her husband from beating her. " 'Take a bottle of this drug,' I tell the woman; 'it is precious. As soon as you see your husband enter the house fill your mouth with with a large swal low f it. Only be careful not to swal low a drop of it till your husband is abed and asleep; hold it there carefully, and I will guarantee that vou will not be beaten. '1 -, - "And does this remedy work?"
