They are not very plentiful around here. Will we be forced to be satisfied with sausage? ‘The sudden blizzard like weather of Sunday and Monday last, with winds of a cyclonic order, reminds us very forcibly that winter is not far off. Overcoats and mitts were in demand Monday when the mercury dropped 40 degrees in six hours, registering 6 degrees above zero Monday morning. Some of our Republican friends here have not us yet gotten over the late election earthquake. They swallowed it about like a child does when it takes a dose of castoroil. J. C.

In Belgium and Spain the bus- | his own. In the United States women | sometimes retain the family name, as | Mrs. Harriet (Beecher) Stowe. In the Channel islands the woman never Joses her maiden name. In Spain the | children write the names of both | parents, as Llarens y Monteverde. In “Don Quixote” is the following: “Casajo was my father's name, and 1, for being the wife of Sancho Panza, am called Teresa Panza, but by good right they ought to call me Teresa Casajo.”” In Scotland both names are preserved, and the woman is always known by her maiden name. In Wales it is the custom to describe the woman by her maiden name. The fact that a woman on becoming the wife of a man loses her identity is apparent in many portions of the Bible, when under the ancient custom man, on i to | of others.

Of practically Arusy mow terms which have different sifades of meaning the misuses of ordinary con- versation and of writing are iunu- merable.

The first to rule over all England was Egbert, king of Wessex, who united all the various petty kingdoms and be- came king of England In 827. The greater kingdom was disrupted from $78 to 938, when the Danes ruled north of the Thames. In the latter year King Edgar reunited the kingdom, ard since that time it has never been partitioned. Between Edmund Ironside (1016) and Bdward the Confessor (1042) three Danish kings ruled all England—Ca- nute, Harold 1. and Hardicanute. The first king of Great Britain was James I. (1603). The first king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was George 111. From the conquest of Ireland in 1172 by Henry 11. the kings of England were styled Lord of Ireland until the assumption of the titie king of Ireland hy Henry VIII, and there- after this title was used until the act |} of union in 1801. The imperial sover- | eiguty of India was assumed by Queen Victoria. i taking a wife, declared that she be ' came “flesh of wy flesh and blood of | my blood,” thereby establishing the | old time saying that man and wife are one.—Richmond Times-Dispatch, roofing on the carriage plant.

A Death Feigning Plant. That certain insects, birds, mammals and reptiles habitually pretend to be ' dead when danger threatens them is a well known fact, but it is generally be-, Heved that this stratagem is resorted to only by animals. In South America, however, there is a plant—a species of mimosa—which resorts to death feign- | ing, evidently for the purpose of pre- venting the grass eating animals from eating it. In its natural state this plant has a vivid green hue, but di-' rectly it is touched by a human finger or by any living animal it collapses futo a tangle of apparently dead and Smart Sayings. ‘ Lord Palmerston's reply to the ilit- | erate member who asked him, “Are! there two hens in ’Oniton?” is a speci- | men of his rather boisterous chaff. “No; only one.
